THE AMBLER BALL TEAM.
lanager   Acuff  Announces Line-Up*'
Local
iPcraonnel and Playing Ability Botli of High Order Throngliout -Conlidence Thai Clnb Will Give Good Acconnl of Itaelf.
The Ambler Athletic assooiation baseball team is now iiractically ready, so Manager Acnff reports, to go iu the field aud wage the battle for the championship of the North Penn Base- liall leagne. By this statement is meant, of oonrse, that the preliminary work of assembling the team, siguiug players, etc., has been completed. The necessary work of traiuiug will be done later on iu the spring and before the league schedule opens on May 9 with Perkasie at Ambler. It is prob able several practice games will be played before that opeuiug da'.e in order that the pUyers may become acquainted with each other and that a certain amount of that necessary ad¬ junct—team work—may*be inonlcated in the players,some of whom are eutire strangers, not ouly to the local base- hall pnblic, bnt to each other in the team.
According to tbe line-upas announced by Manager Aonir, the players and positions are as follows: Krauk Flavell, captain aud catcher; Albert Flavell, hrst base; Frank L. Donohue,., pitcher; Dr. R, (i. Wildrick, second' base; Raymoud Wodock. short stop"', Edward Kelly, third base; William Hongh, right field ; Ueorge E. Howes, centre field ; William C. Cannon, lett field.
This team, it is confidently believed, will constitute a wiuning nine iu base- hall, bnt the the players individually are of a high personnel aud of whom no Amblerite need apologize, aud who will maintain (he high regard in wbioh the local team was held last season by all the cludi which visited this town. Oaptaiu Flavell is probably iinown to every looal tau. He was for¬ merly catcher and captaiu of the tJui- versity ot Penusylvauia team, later played with Fraukford,and last season took a prominent part in the baseball ohampiouship wou by the Oape May Oonrt Honse team, on whioh he play¬ ed.
Donohne, the pitcher, has been in bueball fpi  some, years, and   by   his
envi^iliLsaaw*'
aeit' Bade no hesil«- M!iMJI^jN|'MBlS^IE|^,j^tni from a loug list. Albert Flavell has played with Amhler on previous occasions He is a good hit¬ ter and understands inside baseball. He has played with marked success ou the Germauiown team for some years, and his siguiug by the Ambler man¬ agement is considered locally to be an extremely fortunate piece of work.
Dr. Wildrick aud Wodock both played iu last year's team, aud tlie local supporters ot the Ambler nine know JUKI what euoh cau do,
Kelly, on third base, is strongly re¬ commeuded by Donohue, aud he is said to thoroughly uuderstaud the game and kuows how to play his cor¬ ner of the diamoud. His experieuce ou other teams and his knowledge of the game will be strong factors in the infield. Besides beiug a good third baseman he is a hither.
Hongh, in rght field, has all the earmarks of a coming player, and it is thought, with competent and careful coaolyng, will develop into a good batsman. His base running promises to be a feature this season, as lie has a record for 100 yards of 9 3-5 seconds. Howes, who is booked for centre field, is a former University of Pennsylvania man, and early last season he played in the Nortii Oaroliua league, but later went to the Tyrone clnb, of the Oentral Pennsylvania leagne.
Oannon first, played with Glenside, and while on this team gave such a good accouut of himself that he at¬ tracted considerable attentiou. Last season he was with the Paschall team and did good work both at the bat .tnd in left field.
As yet Manager Acnff has uot with¬ drawn his reserve claim on Oluuu nor Oaldwell,aud it is probable he will uot \do so, as it will be uecessary to have a 'few extra players. The league schedule (provides for two games ou May 30 aud 'Jnly 4 and an extra pitcher will be used for these contests,   Xt is probable that Archibald aud Liscke will be released.
With the team as stated above it is confidently expected that if it docs not flniali first In the leagne it will at least give such an account of itself that the tans will have no fault to find with the clnb uor tho management iu the efforts to assemble a winuiug aggrega¬ tion.

Forged a Check; j^wlndled a   Doctor.
One day early last week a mau called at the oifice of Dr. William Hannum.of Hatboro, claiming to be suffering from lumbago. The doctor gave him some medicine aud in payment he offered a check drawn on the Hatboro Natioual bauk for $6, presumably by Edward Wood, of Horsham. In retnru the doctor gave him S4.50 iu ciiauge. Shortly afterwards Mr, Wood himseif called and the doctor called his at¬ teutiou to the check. He prouonnced the chock a forgery. It tnrned out the swindler had got the blauk check from Mr, Wescoat, and had him fill it np for $5, aud there signed it.
The dootor and ]\Ir. Wood started ont after the fellow and canght him uear the bauk. They undertook to arrest hiro, but he got away. After hiding for a tiime in Dr. Carrell's baru he broke ont and made good his esuapp. It is supposed this same man robbed the carriage honse of Mr. Garuer, who lives next to Dr. Oarrell.

She said she is sure the mind iufin- euues the body, bnt it is difflcnlt to say 10 what degree. She remembers onoe wheu slie had a lieavy load to carry up a hill she thought it impos¬ sible, but her miud, happening to be pleasantly distracted while iu the act ot carrying the burden, she fonud the journey accomplished withont realiz¬ ing any great fatigue. She thinks sometimes the determination of the mind to overcome the ills of the body may result disastrously, as wheu au organ becomes diseased and is yet forced to action by the will of the persou, even life may be endangered. We may certainly make onr lives hap¬ pier by endeavoring to think as little as possible of onr ailments.

Argument On a Rnle.
Monday afternoon in oourt room No. 1, with JndgeB Swartz and Weand on the bench,the time was takeu up with argumeut on a rnle to dissolve au at- tacbmeut whioh had beeu issued by Samnel Schievely .tgainst G. Walter Sperry. The parties at issne reside at Jenkiutown. In his argument asking for the dissolution of the attachment, Mr. Larzelere contended the plaiutiff had extended the time for the payment of a hook account due the defendant. The extension had been made by the acceptauoe nf a note ot Sperry's for this amonnt. Until this note fell doe the defendaut insists that Schively cannot proceed ou the original debt.
As to tlie fraud wliich Schively in¬ sists is being practiced by thc defend¬ ant, it is asserted that such is not 'the case. Tlie withdrawal of Spsrry's ac¬ count from the Jenkintown Trnst com¬ pany was uot for the purpose of de- fraudiug his creditors, but to proteot himself. This withdrawal took place during the height of the fiuaucial panic, aud Sperry contends that he became scared at conditions.
Sperry says that ho did try to dispose of some accounts which were due him, but denies that this was doue to cheat his creditors.
Ou the score of his beiug au ab¬ sconder, the defeudaut denies that he had ever absented him.self from Jen¬ kintown in order to escape creditors. He said, according to the argument of couusel, that, ou tlie day the attach¬ ment was issued, he had met and spokeu to Schively in Jeukiutown,
For the plaintiff Samnel H, High, asserts that, according to the circum¬ stances Bhown by the depositious. Sperry was withdrawing hia deposist from the bank, tryiug to dispose of ¦Rocoiints with property and that he did leave Jenkiutowu and his where¬ abouts were for a time unknown, and that all tliese thiugs wero doue for the purpose of defrauding his creditors, aud hence the attacl.ment shonld bo sustained,  .
