BESSON'S
PRETZELS
Cause Ambier's D^wnlall to Lans¬ dale, 3 to 0.
Champions Could Not Hit Ihe Local Buy. While Several MIsplays tu Ihe Field Aid Lansdale lu Carrying off llie (iame -Tie Wilh Perkaaie.
Too much Besson and too little vim and spirit were the causes ol Ambler's downfall Saturday, when Lausdale }iroved the victors in a good game by the score of 3 to 0 Captaiu Flavell, of the Ambler team, says "Besson deserves all tlie credit that is given him, for he pitched a good game. "
Ambler had chances to score, but the necessary hit was not forthcoming, as Besson's pretzels could uot be straightened out safely. The fact that there were seven chauoes offered the outfield and six fly balls hit to short and third base and also but three strikeouts resulted off liesson shows that Ambler liit the ball, but the sphere traveled towards a fielder, 'who either captured it ou a fly or threw the batter out at base.
Ou the other hand Crouch allowed bnt six hits—just as many as Besson— and retired nine batsmen by the strike¬ out road and each twirler gave two ba.seB on balls and cicli hit a batter. A glance at the error column tells the story, as Ambler made four misplays and Lansdale but oue. In the absence of Fritz, who telephoned at the last minute he could uot come, Wheeler played short, whose failure to cleauly field   Killiau's   hit    iu   the    eighth.

Mauager Flavell, of Ambler, refused to allow the annouucenieut to be made --IJoylestown Democrat, hi comment¬ ing on this the Lan.sdale Republican says: Iu refusing to countenance this gambling proposition Mauager Flavell has the liearty commendation of the Republican, and should be grasped by the hand aud congratulated for his stand by every lover of the great game in the North Penn league. There is nothing that kills base ball quicker thau a coutest such as was proposed by Doylestowu.

TO ENLARGE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Ambler   Presbyterians to Present Capacity.
Double
Cougregatlou Autliorlies Building Comuiittee to Secure Plana and Bids- Will Hoof Sheds In for Huge tiym- uaainin and Drill Kouin.
The congregation of the Ambler Presbyterian clinrch at a meeting held Sunday morniog after the church ser¬ vice decided to enlarge the Sunday school room by doubling its present capacity, proviling the outlay does not exceed the sum of |1500.
¦The present Sunday scliool room, which is at the rear of the church, is 20 by 'SI feet in size, and the increas¬ ing uunioer of scholars lias loug taxed its capacity and liampered the work among the yonng people. Rev. George J. Crist, the present pastor, is an enthusiastic Sunday school worker, and is assisted by an able force of teachers, so that the school is grow¬ ing rapidly.
At the meeting, the congregation instructed the bnilding committee to liave plaus prepared for the extension and to secure estimates as soon as possible so that the work may be finished yet this fall. As plauued the exteusiou will be of frame and will be 40 feet wide extending over the whole oi the rear of the building aud running on the southwesterly side to the projierty line.
At the same meeting Dr. R. G. Wildrick presented to the congregation the need of the boys aud youug men of a gj'muasium aud drill room for the brigade, of whicii orgauizatiou he has been the managing liead siuce its inception, aud lie was granted permis¬ sion to roof over the two rows ot frame sheds ou the rear of the lot, which wheu fiiii.shed will make a room ,50 by (10 feet.
t)r. Wildrick is confident he can raise by subscription the funds needed to pay for this operation, there hav¬ iug beeu some funds on liaud for the work, and he is of the firm opiniou tha it can be doue for $.500.
The plans for this room are not entirely worked out, but it is believed .the roof of the building will be souie- W'liat higlier than the roof of the shed¬ ding. The timbers will be streugthen¬ ed, and the interior lined with a good i libit paper.
The   large   room   can   be   used   for ¦;l?Nuaui.siuni, drill   room   and   athletic .TJUHts,audal. is not„nnliU.elyJJUsit A^'!,»ei5,4.: all IS completed if will be a   suitable Jilace for basket ball games.

George W. Elkins has added to the size of Folly farms, his York road estate, by the purchase ot 50 acres adjoining from Johu Wauamaker. The purchase, whicii has just been closed through M. E. Hoover, real estate broker, involves a consideration of close to $100,000.

allowed Topliam to score the third rnn ot the game. Wildrick al.so mad« errors of commission and omission in right, which proved fatal.
In the seccond inning it looked as though Ambler would score. Flavell singled to center. Caris sacrificed him to second, aud as Baker 'was drawing a bass on balls Flavell stole third, but overslid the bag aud was out. Again iu the seventh Caris was hit bv a pitched ball. Baker struck out. Galla¬ gher singled to ceutre, Caris going to third, but ou the uext ball Gallagher vvas thrown out stealing. Crouch flew out to Killian.
In the sixth iuniug Ambler mado two hits. Howes flew out to Davis. Tophaiu made a pretty catch on Wild¬ rick's fly. Wheeler siugled to left aud Vansaut siugled to center, bnt Flavell hit up a high fly, wiiich Bessou caught, closiug the inning.
Lansdale's runs were scored as fol¬ lows: Fifth inning. Dorsey struck out, as did also Fitzgerald. Besson singled to light. Clark was hit by a pitched ball. Topham siugUd to right, scoring Besson, and on Wildrick's poor throw to the infield, Clark raced home. Klump singled to rigbt, but Topham was caught off' third on the throw from Caris, to Vansaut, to Flavell, to Gallagher. This combi¬ nation of three hits, a liit batsman aud an error resnlted iu two runs. In the eighth Topliam reached first on Galla¬ gher's error, stole second and raced to third when Klnmp struck out. Killian hit a swift one to short and Wheeler juggled the ball just long enough to allow Topham to score. Toony flew out to Wildrick, who threw to first,executing a double play.

A luoetiug of the Montgomery County league was held at Glenside Monday evening with the jiresident, George Weidner, of Elkins Park, in the chair. The minutes were read by Benjamin Wright, secretary, of Glen¬ side. The main busiuess was the decision in reference to the Hatboro and McKinley tie game of last Satur¬ day, which was called by tbe umpire at the end of the 12tli inning on account of darkness. An informal discussion of the matter was entered into jieuding the arrival of Willow Grove's representative. In the mean¬ time, however, Ashbourne's represen¬ tative, finding he was obliged to leave, lett, by consent of the clubs,his sealeil voto on the question as to the play-off of the game. After he left Glenside headed a movement to throw the vote ont ou the ground that the game should have been finished and that tlio league seasou is legally at an eud. However the effort was lost and the league, on the arrival of the Wil¬ low Grovo representative, ordered tho game to be replayed next Satnrday atteruoou. If Hatboro wins the game it will have won tlie championship, but if McKiuley wins Hatboro and (.Heusido will be tie.
