Ambler   High   School   Wins.
Ey defeating Lansdale high school team last Friday afternoon at Lans¬ dale, Ambler high school clinches the pennant in the i-ace for the champion¬ ship of Bucks-Montgomery County High School league. The locals w^re able to down the Lansdale boys through the master'" pitching of Pul¬ linger, who was a.bly backed up by his b.attery mate, Davis,, by the score of 4 to 3. fuUinger, for eight innings did not allow a hit. However, errors in the flnal period, aided by two hits enabled Lansdale to score three runs.
Ambler has now won eight and lost one, while Doylestown, its nearest riv¬ al, for the high honors, has won six and lost three. The final game of the IgaBOB 3^111-be played Friday on the tne Ambler grounds witai Souderton. This should be a great game, as the latter team re ntly refeated Doyles¬ town by a good sized score. The students of the local school will be out In force at this game, as it is likely that they will make it an occasion for celebrating the splendid victory of their schoolmates in winning the tro¬ phy of Uhe league.

From Oct. 30, 1777, until Dec. XI, nn, the'SAmerican army, under tljisi command of General George Washing¬ ton, was encamped a.long the hills stretching from Fr,^ Washington east- wai-d along Camp and Edge Hills. The redoubt at Fort Washington was thrown up in defense against the British army in conrol of he city of Philadelphia ,after the battle of Germiantown. ExieW- clses are held annually upon this his¬ toric spot to commemorate the noble deeds of the American patriots who fought to 'establish and perpetuate this government in the recent great World War.

McCormick Departs as Playing Man¬ ager—Changes in the Line-Up That Will  Win  Games  From   Now  On.
SATURDAY GAMES. So far as the Montgomery County league is concerned the whole bast- ball world is going wrong. There is i.ui..sdale that we all thought was going through the league with its high priced stars like wild-firr, but just iook what has happened. The team from .snove town has played threci games and in two of the contests they have taken the short end of the count and the one game won was from our own team aiwl had the locals been handled differently and Fuerie had not been taken out of the box another story might have been told about this game. Again the dope went wrong when it waa predicted that the Hillers would be the goat as usual this season, ilanagor Eenis has hi.s boys working finely, and as a result Chestnut Hill downed both Ambler and Lansdale while a close one was dropped to the champions. Tho Bucks aggi'egation, under Manager Wodock, who is being aiisLsted by his brother Ray, has tho real class of the league, ajid at this time look like thee hampions for 1921. The two teams tiiat aie a disappoint¬ ment to date are Conshohocken and Ambler, both of which it was believed would be flghting for the high honors of the league, but instead, on Satur¬ day, they were occupying the two pos¬ itions at the bottom of the lad¬ der, wltJi the former one notch higher than the latter. These two teams met last Saturday and before It is forgotten wo wish to impait the knowledge that 'the aforesaid notch was secured at '^he expense of our fellows who had to take the short end of a 7 to 2 score. A'lie Irontown outlit did not have a thing on us up until the seventh se.ssion. Then what a beautiful ex¬ hibition of fozzeling away a ball was given by the Ambler ball players. Af¬ ter McCarrick wtis retired in opening Hie seventh period, Beake singled. Livingstone lifted one out to Torpey, rho made a beauti''ul muff of the ball, hafer added to the misery by missing 'e.sstlbacker's grounder and allowing eake to score. Williums got a base balls. More damage was done hen Burnes messed things up on ker's drive to short, giving Liv- fstone a chance fo score. Heinbeck- set- two more runs over when he for two bases. The fifth run was ored .when Hallowell threw late to plate on Hisenberg's hit to second e visitors' other two runs were ved in the fourth frame on a base balls, two hits and an out. Ambler ired one in the second on an error B_'Mai'tin's long single, and one in ("fast round on 'wo singles and an out.

Harry Milier, of Cold Point, Is pick¬ ing some luscious sti-awberries oif good size and fine quality from his Marshall plants. He also has the William Belt and the Gandy varieties, and although ordinarily ^rlier and later respective¬ ly than the Marshall, so strange are the vagaries of the present season that all are ripening pracUcallv together. The plants attained good foliagte, are clean, and the berries are ripening In good condition, and the marketing is e;isy, as the quality, appearance and glentral condition command a ready sale. Mr. Miller haa aet out a very proi^lsing bed for next season, and the }..a.i.-, which were started In April, have now attained a very good start. The asparagus bed nearly has also been prolific this season, about 100 bunches being cut each week and dis¬ posed of in the Germantown marktets. Mr. Miller has Secured a good start with his truck thia season, all of which shows promise and is in splen¬ did cultivation.

"The League of Nations" ;uwl after out¬ lining the league of nations, as endeav¬ oring to be formed by the great pow- k-rs of the world, Mr. Mayberry in most appropriate manner brought in a league of nations to be .adopted in the every-day life of the graduates.

Ambler was defeated on Memorial day in both games. The first contest! was lost to Souderton in the forenoon by the score of 12 -to 5, and the after¬ noon affair went to Doylestown by the forfeit score of 9 to 0. There i.^s nott much to tell about either game, except to say our fellows were-outclassed in both games. At Souderton a new; pitcher by the name of Nttchle was on the hill for Ambler and the Cham- plons took kindly to his delivery and amassed a total of 18 safe blows.
Fuerie went to the peak for th* locals In the afternoon game against Doylestown and he went along nicely for several innings, but the county seat boys jumped him in one frame for three runs due to two three base blows, a single and an error. These! three tallies were enough to 'win, but the Bucks co'unty aggragation was not satisfied, and, aided by Fuerie's team¬ mates and the field umpire, they gath¬ ered  six  more runs
Doylestown has a strong te ;m thi'-i ve^ir and will make the other clubs go some to beat them to the pennant. The team is evenly b.alanced, with good' fetching iand catching and splendid batters-<tnd In addition the club Is be¬ ing well handled by Ray (German) Wodock, who is a past master on ira- .side play, evidence of which was seen in the contest Monday afternoon. Am¬ bler has now dropped five games in a row and there Is considerable disap- pointmenti among local rc<?ters and followers of the team. However, there is no room for the unjust criticism that is going the rounds tof the manage- mentl. Xo one has worked harder to give Ambler a good ball club, which ' '^ has been the case during the last four years, than Manager Amey, and if given time Ainbler will again be up there batthng for high honors with the other leaders before the season is much) older.

A Million DoUars' Worth of ClotHes. The scuirclty of clothing throughout Europe, and the misery due to the; lack of it in cold weather, will be greater next -winter than in any period since 1915. Stoi^ea of linen gathered in the prosperous years preceding the' war aft-e lifcw exhaustetd. Saleable artieles that could be exchangee? for clothing have largely disappeared in the pawn shops and been exported to foreign lands. Almost no clothing has been bought in Central and Eastern Europe by the great masses of the population since 1915. Thia re¬ lation of vi'ages to the exist of livinir sinre Lhe drop in the rate of exchahgd that (followed the war, has made such) purchase practicaUy impossible during' tlie last three ypars.
