There was a short delay in starting the game on account of Catcher Bow being in a railroad wreck while on his way here from Easton. The time was filled in by President Pike presenting to the Ambler club the pennant won this year. The emblem was accepted by Clayton H. Thomas, president of te Ambler Athletic association. As soon as Catcher Row arrived the con¬ test was started with Umpire Johns¬ ton behind the plate and Umpire Ldn- german on the liases. Rigley was first up for the visitors and when Liebert; shot the first ball over for a strike a great shout went up from the crowd. On the next pitched ball the batter I was retired on a foul fly to Martin. Ryman waited and was reward^^d .vith a base on balls. Haigh skied to Robin¬ son for the second out.

' H is believed that Hayes has no near relatives. He was employed every summer on the H. P. JlcKean estate, was thrifty and saving, and the bal¬ ances accumulated in other localities indicate that he was also frugal in other Jilaces. and also that he believed in depositing his means in savings institutions. He was about 58 years e when he last visited here.
