Labor day, which was staged at Wei
don with the Weldon team. . It was a
sea-saw affair, and at the end Weldon
won by the score of 13 to 10. Both
teams hit the ball hard, and it was
anybody's game until the finish.' Thia
ended the North Penn league season.
However, thia question will be fully
decided at the meeting of tbe league
to be held this Wednesday evening
at Glenside
Tn the Suburban league on Monday
morning Fort Washington won a well
played game from Ashbourne by the
score of 3 to 1, getting two runs, in
the 12th inning.
Saturday was certainly a day of
sorrow for our baseball fans. Not
one of our three clubs was able to
turn in a win. The A's lost to
Lansdale, 8 to 3; Ambler. FMeld club
took the short end of a 5 to 4 count at
Weldon, and the K. & M. boys lost a
heart-breaker to Glenside, 2 to 1. The
only ray ot hope ls the protest lodged
by the A's on the grounds that Wilkie
Lansdale's left fielder, was not
eligible to play. But what la the use
of protesting? Past decisions of the
board and other gross violations, not
alone of the playing rules, but the by-i
laws of the league, have been allowed
to go by, so far as the other clubs in
the league, especially such teams as
Lansdale and Perkasie, are concerned,
Section' 6 of article 8 of the by-laws
states that after August 1st, a player
to be eligible must take part to at
least one full game or in parts of
three games prior to that date. Tbe
player in question played in part of
one game before August, hence the
reason for the protest.
To get back to the game. Lansdale
played real ball while Hunter's -crew!
gave a grand exhibition of -being in
the dumps. Bateman was the real
here of the day. Out of flag times to
the
his
playing that th visitors score as'
many runs as they did. Our .own
Winchester Douglass got to Durbln
for three hits out of four trips tq the
plate. -Two home runs featured the
game, one by pitcher' Hartranft and
the other by Bateman. The visitors
scored three runs in the first on two
errors by Faye and Meisler and two
hits. Another was added ln the second,
and in' the fifth inning we lost all
hope of catching up when the stove-
town aggregation, who got three tallies, and finally in the seventh session
they made their last run. The best]
■jve could do -is to get one run _ijn
second period and two in the seventh
and that was all.
Despite the splendid ball that "Bill?
Garrett pitched last Saturday agaihsj:
Glenside he was obliged to taste dw
feat because his supporting, cast
faltered at a critical >ntomefci?;''.afid
allowed the visitors to pull the gamg
