Defeats Glenside.

at Will—Cabin Very ISfiective, Allowing
But Three Bit.—Snn Helps the Pitcher*
—Error. Pley Important Pert In Oame.
Ambler A. O. closed its successful
baseball season last Saturday afternoon
with a victory over Glenside, wiping
ont the defeat of some weeks ago and
scoring an easy win, 11 to 4. Cahill
was back in the box for Ambler and
was given a rousing reception by the
"fans." He Was the same deliberate
and cool slab artist and as usual kept
the batters guessing and allowed his
fielders little to do because of his
effectiveness. In all he struck out 13
men, equalling his best previous record on the looal grounds. He seemed
le bave better control than ever and
allowed but three little hits. Besides
this be marked his re-appearance in
Ambler by knocking ont a two-bagger.
""""Sfcroox,~ Glenside's pitcher, seemed
tcwlack effectiveness, anil the local
hitters found hiiu for 11 hits. He has
a particularly good drop bail, which
fooled the locals at first, but they
grew wise and with scientific hitting
got tbe men on bases and then a nice
single or an error helped tbe soore
along.
Oaptain.Ellam had his eye on ' the
ball and hit the sphere hard even*
time up except when the horse hide
struck him. He made three runs, and
hia return to. the hitting column insures for him a plaoe next year, only
four assists were made by Ambler and
Oahill had them all. MoFetridge on
seoond and Oampbell, both usually
sterling and reliable heady players,
gave Glenside opportunity to make
rnus by bad erorr*. MoFetridege's two
chances were both quite hard, but
Oampbell'h errors were made on easy
throws. However, the heavy batting
was always able to pull the game away
from Glenside's efforts to tie.
Trook was late in arriving, but
when he landed he made np tor lost
time by slashing ont three singles and
- on the first time up got hit. Delay ;n
starting and time consumed ia taking'
a photograph of the team carried the
game on towards 6.80 and the sun got so
low that it glared directly in the eyes
of both batter and catoher. affording
a golden opportunity for the pitchers
to fatten up their nnmber of strikeouts.
Both teams were blanked in tha first,
bat Ambler took the lead with two
runs in the seoond, Trook sooring on
Hartman'sSingle and Oampbell coming
in on Oohn's hit. la the next inning
Ambler again made two, and Glenside
started with one run. Ambler added
fwo more in the fourth, aud Glenside
duplicated in the fifth. While Anibler
pur, the game on ice in tbe sixth with
five runs. The best Glenside could do
was a single ran in that inning and
further scoring ceased.
Throughout the season Ambler has
played a consistently ginning game,
defeating some ot B0 best "amateur
teams in Philadelphia, and winning
over Doylestown, Glenside, Oreland,
Flonrtown, Spring Mill, but was
beaten by Jenkintown,Doylestown, St.

dresses .on Appropriate Subjects
The Ambler Methodist Sabbath
school held its annual rally day last
Sunday .afternoon and a large turnout I
of 30tr pupils and ' teachers resulted.
The "exercises were- of an unusual
character and special efforts had been
put forth to make the event a success..
Miss Bertha Shaffer presided at the
piano and was assisted in the instrumental line by Alvnli M. Freas,
violinist of the Ambler orchestra, and
Harry H. Rynear, Jr., cernetlst of
Kynear's orchestra. The usual opening
exercises were held interspersed with
hymns and orchestral selections.
Mr. E L, Posey, superintendent, in
an address noted with pleasure the.
progress made during tlie year, and he
thought it advisable for Sunday
schools as well as for businesses to take
an account of stock at certain seasons.
This process'certainly must reveal that
the school baa enjoyed its most successful year, and he thanked the teachers for their hearty co-operation'in this
great work. He noted with pleasure
tbe encouragement given by Presiding]
Elder Wilson at the last report which
the school had made and which showed
that the school had largest, average
attendance in the Southwest district.
Mr. Posey said that while numbers
are to be desired, there is to be constantly striven for the salvation of
souls for the fnture oburch, and he
trusted that the teachers will all make
this their ohief aim.
A very pretty offertory, "Trauin-
meri,'' waa rendered by the orchestra,
which waa followed by tho rally song,
and then the roll call and greetings
were given. The Wesley chorus, composed of Eva and Edith Sharp, Hester
Signs, Olara Gelta, Grace Posey and
Anna Vandegrift, sang "I'll Be Present Wben the Roll Is Called," which
was followed by a choins by the
primary department of 60 voices.       .-^
Rev. Nichols, pastor of the church,
made an address on rally day. He said
be waa glad to measure the progress
made by the school and he had tried
ia his mind's eye to carry himself back
75 years ago, Whea there was ao Sunday school and whea no speoial services
were conducted for the children nor no
method in tbe training of tba religious
life of the children. In 1836 tba movement on behalf of tbe yonng took definite form,and the work was gradually systematized until in 1873 the
universal lesson leaf waa agreed upon.
It took the churoh a good while to
commence tbe study of the ohild as
Cliript. desired, and if the oburch ia ta
amount to anything it should take a
still greater interest iu tbe child. W*?
cannot introduce too many features to
make the service attractive and instructive. The child ia most susceptible and impressionable and the
childhood is the period bf the imagination,and this shonld not be discouraged, but gently directed into the proper
lines. A boy hi unique in many ways,
and his-boy i sh ways and manners must
be moulded with care and love, and
it is our duty to work out this problem, for which we can take as onr
help the five P's in a pod, tbe first of
whicli is punctuality, th*n preparation, prayer, patience and lastly
perseverance. With these let us push
on in the work that angels might envy
in this labor of love the friuts of
Wbioh. will last forever.
After the secretary's most encouraging report the churchy chorus, com posed
of Mrs*. Wm. Ferguson, Misses Margaret Loux, Lidie Vandegrift,
Josephine Vandegrift, Bessie Neeman,
Bessie Ruby, Heater Signs, Eva and
Edith Sharp and Mrs. A. L. Bartholomew, sang '"Brightly Gleams Our
Banner," and after other joyous songs
the exercises were bronght to a close
with the benediction.

fire aroused .the residents of Hatboro
about 7 o'clorv^lt proved to be tbe
new carriage honse of Benjamin Hilt,
corner of Mora)and avenue and York

tonts of the seeontK story. Its origin
waa unknown, bnt it seemed to have
started In some barrels of excelsior
which were stored upstairs. The
carriages and automobile were all
gotten safely out.
Order Causes Chaos
Because of the recent demand of Dr.
Samuel R. Dixon, state health ooflr-
missionerr for the rigid enforcement of
the vaccination law, the people of
Hatfield are much concerned. Until
now, that law was a dead letter,so far
aa it had relation to the Hatfield distriot.
When the borough teachers, however, a few days ago were directed
to refuse pnpils not vaccinated, about 85
children were halted at the school
door. Physicians are now busy attending to the arms of those not inoculated,
SO that the school, which suffered a
temporary setback, may be put in normal oondition again.

LITIGATION ON
DOG BURIAL.
Canine Interred in a North Wales
Cemetery.
BUI in Equity Filed on'Behalf ot tbe
Church Ke.entlnjf. the Action—tiranite
Tombstone I* laced Over the ft rave ol
"Our Pet."
Because a dog waa buried in the
cemetery attached to St. Peter's
•Lutheran ohurch, at North Wales, an
interesting piece of litigation wilt
ensue.
Attorney Fraacis Swartiey, Monday
morning, filed a bill in equity in behalf Of tiie church vs. Charles S.Bean.
The' plaintiff says that it has been the
o.wner of a cemetery attached to the
church for 125 years, which has been
used exclusively for the burial'of deceased members of the congregation
aad others, te whioh it has from time
to time extended the privilege. It has
never granted permission to anyone
to nse the cemetery for any other purposes.
-The bill recites: Your orator la informed, believes and therefore avers
that the defendant, on or abont the
25th day of October, 1904, secretly,
wilfully, without authority of law or
Custom, and without the consent and
in violation of tbe rights of your
orator, did enter into and upon a certain burial lot in aaid cemetery, and
inter therein tiie body of a dead dog,
and snbsequntly erect over ita grave a
granite tombstone, with an inscription
thereon, as follows: "Onr Pet."
' The complainant alleges that it at
once notified the defendant to remove
tbe body of the dog from the cemetery,
which the defendant promised to do.
This he did not do, it is claimed, but
that after making the promise he
ereoted the tombstone mentioned.
The oourt is asked to "order,adjudge
and decree that the burial of the said
dog and the erection of the said tombstone constitute a trespass in aad upon
said lot aud cemetery. " And that "the
court order, direct and decree that the
defendant remove from the cemetery
tha body of the dog ana also the tombstone ami'restore the ground of aaid
lot to tha condition in whioh it existed
prior to the said alleged trespass.''
Gtenalde Man's WIU Power.
"I simply refuse to die," was tbe
declaration made by Michael Moffa,
to tha doctors of the Jewish hospital,
Philadelphia, when he was informed
by them that he had not one chance
ia 100 of living. That was more than
three weeks ago and Moffa is stlil
alive wad on tlie road- to complete recovery.
Aooording to the doctors of the institution, it is an example of what a
man's will power can do for him.
Moffa was seriously injured at Glen-
side by several Italian laborers wbo
made an assault upon him. He was
taken to tbe Jewish hospital in an unconscious condition. For a week the
injured man's life hung in the balance.
He gradually reoovered consciousness
and declared be would not die. Atr^
cording to the nurses he is one of the
most cheerful nien in the convalescent
wards, and to tbis they attribute his
splendid chances of recovery.
