BASEBALL SITUATION.
Meeting of Out-Door Sports Committee Held and Policy for the
Coming Season Outlined.
At a meeting of the out-door
sports committee of the Young
Men's Ghristian Association, a policy for the season was outlined and
committees on baseball, tennis, and
out-door athletics were appointed.
The local * situation was pretty
thoroughly discussed, and it was
decided to give all the local players
the opportunity to try for positions
on the team. In other words it is
the purpose of the committee in
charge to utilize nothing but home
talent. So, baseball enthusiasts,
now is your chance to make the
local team the best amateur team
in this vicinity. With such men as
Nash, F. Patton, G. Patton, Hutchison, Richardson, Lyons, Payne,
Fincke, Garroll, Neely, Lucas,
Gaughey, Zopf and Blair trying for
the team it will mean a team of the
first class. Gome boys, get into
the game and play ball.
False Report.
The rumor that the Edgeworth
Gouncil had ordered the removal of
the light from in front of the grocery store of Mr. Frederick McGullough, giving as their reasons
that there was sufficient light radiating from the countenance of Mr.
Gharles T. McGullough, who is the
father of a bouncing baby boy, is
unfounded. There was some conjecture as to where the illuminatiqn
was coming from. Mrs. McGullough
and the boy are doing nicely. Here's
congratulations, Gharles.
Over the Line.
Owing to the lack of an ordinance for suspicious characters the
chief of police is compelled to march
these characters over the Borough
line. He had a case of this kind
this week when he escorted twd
men out of town. There is not
much lawlessness in our Borough
and this is as it should be and shows
that our police- department is on
the alert.
