He  found  that    Adam  and    Eve  just

board!
Set up housekeeping all alone In some vast wilderness unknown. 'Tis thus the family started on To du it share the earth upon.
Past is misty since Adam's time Until we come to England's clime, And  here's  where  Charles  has  delved
most keen As when he reads, will sure be saen.
We'll flnd the very best of stuff
Is paekad away in every Duff—•

The kind that's left is good enough.

Throwing his machine to one side to avoid striking the man in the middle of the road, Krewson crashed into another man who was in the shadows.
Thinking it was an attempted holdup, Krewson drove at high speed, secured an offlcer, and returned to the point of the affair in Byberry road. Here they found the two men "together. The one w-ho had been struck by Krewson's car had a badly injured foot. He was taken by Krewson in the automobile to the Abington Memorial hospital, where he is now under treatment.

Hallman Pitches Masterly Game and Allows Few Hits, Losing His First Contest of the Season—Girard Boys Played Good Ball—Details.'
Thi.s ,,iie the K. & AI. boys, jf Ambler, handed to the Girard F. C. The S'lii prupusitions the locals play¬ ed duiiiia the last few games, without a doulit, had much to do with their poor playing Saiurday against the Gir¬ ard F. C, uf Philadelphia, who won. the regular week-end contest by the score of 4 to 3.
A glance at the score will prove that had the home team played its usual good game the visitors' would have been blanked, as Hallman, the local twirler, never pitched better ball.
Si.\ <'rrors are chargod against tlie K. & .\1. lioys, four of which figured directly in aiding the visitors In scor¬ ing their four runs. Three of these six misplays came in the first two innings when Girard scored three of Its tallies.
Despite these lielding mistakes, tho crowl was kept Interested by the plucky bid . the locals made for the game after the second inning and had there been better judgment used in running the bases the result would have been different.
This was the flrst game lost on the home grounds since Alay 9, and it was aiso the tirst game in which Hallman was defeated on Blndenwold field since joining the team.
The game started with Bendon, who is a reproduction of Tom Thumb, be¬ cause uf his height at the bat. Two strikes were called. Then he got one to his liking and he shot it down the third base line for two bases. Poor handling of the ball on the return en¬ abled him to go to third, and he scored a moment later on Atkinson's wild throw to catch him napping.
Winner singled in starting the sec¬ ond round for the visitors. He was sacrificed to second by Ratner. Fir¬ man played Heitner's grounder badly and AA'inner scored and the batter was safe at lirst. Egan fanned for the seo¬ ond out. Stanbach was given a base on balls, moving Heitner to second. The latter scored when F. Wodock threw badly to first aifter gathering in Bendon's grounder. Aliller closed the inning oi|a .flar to Kelly in center field. The visitWfS^Burth run w-^s scored in the sevsayl^^iller opened^he ses¬ sion by!^H|P(K-two bases oiS his hut one to tlSi^'wWch w^ handled* nieely l{y,.,£L^Todoi»ii2:J>ut« tie again made a bad Throw to fll*t;^. Shaffer got an in¬ field single, advancing Miller to third. The former was -out stealing second. Miller beirig held at third. The latter srored on Zeihle's hit to left fleld. Winner went out on a foui fly to At¬ kinson and Ratner was thrown out.
Not until the sixth did the K. & AI. boys get a run over the plate, although an opportunity was offered for a tally in the fourth, w-hen Atkinson drove the ball into Park avfenue for three bases, but in trying to stretch it into a home run he was thrown out at the plate. Another chance to score -was lost in the fifth period. Three men got on the bases in this round after two w-cre out, but the necessary hit was lacking. Having failed to score' in the two preceding innings, the home team was not to be denied in the sixth. Shaffer helped by making a bad throw to first after getting Atkinson's grounder. W. Wodock's sacrifice put him (m second. Donofry flew out to Winner. Kelly's hot one down the first base line got away from Miller and At¬ kinson sccred. Robinson clos.;d the inn:]..!: The only earned ror. o.' Ih© game was scored by the locals in their half of the seventh, which w-as produc-. ed after two hands were out. Firman and Hallman both fanning, R. AVo¬ dock paving the way for the tally by singling to left. Davies then planted one between centre and right for three bases, scoring Wodock. The ninth was a hot round from a local standpoint and it looked for a while as though the home team would wm out. Hall¬ man who started the inning stopped one of Stanbach's fast ones and he walked to first. R. Wodock's single advanced Hallman to third. Davles' sacrifice scored him, the latter being out pitcher to flrst. Wodock attempt¬ ed to take two bases'on this play, but was doubled with Davles. Atkinson closed the inning by going out at first on his grounder to Heitner. The score follows: K.&M.

DIAMOND  NOTES.
Owing to the game being so inter¬ esting last Saturday the management of the Keasbey & Mattison A. A. his been persuaded by the local fans to play a return game with the Girard F. C. on Lindenwold field this Sat¬ urday. The latter team will have in its line up Karst formerly of the Ath¬ letic team of the American league; Zibell, of the Ocean City nine, and Eagan, of Villanova college. This will be the best game of the season and it WiU also be positively the last for the K. it M. A. A. as the season will close with this game. The contest wiil start at 3.30.
Bandon. who played center fleld for the visitors, is so small that many of the youngsters at the game on Sat¬ urday mistook him for the mascot of tho Girard team. In height Bandon Is almost the smallest fellow that has played on Lindenwold field, but his size does not seem to be a handicap to him, for he can certainly play the outfield and is also a good batter.
Arrangements are under way for a game to be played between the mar¬ ried men of the tow-n, who have been good ball players in their time, and one of the locnl teams.
Nlcetown failed to appear here last Saturday for the third ^me of the series with Peerless A. A. Manager Clayton, of ithe latter team, hag called the games iff and wUl play the strong LaMott giailts this Saturday afternoon on the Soujth Spring Garden street grounds.

The second annual meeting of the Horsham Friends' School association was held Saturday at Horsham Aleet- ing house, and a large assemblage ot friends and past and present pupils favored the occasion' with their pie- sence and interest.
Davis AV. Sill, of Horsham, called the morning session at 10.4ii, and in a few well-chosen words welcomed tho friends, and expressed the hope that the occasion might prove of Interest to all and of value to the school un¬ der whose auspices the association meets.
A reply by Alartha HalloweU voiced the gratitude uf ali the jiupiis for the privileges and blessings secured by the school, expressing tlie beautiful senti¬ ment of the many sweet memories clustered around the old institution and gave encouragement to the organiza¬ tion in its cunimendable efforts to boarden the sphere of inlluence of the school.
A very interesting program was then rendered by the present pupils of the school under the direction of Aliss Anna S. Butcher. The first number was a recitation, "The Tree," by Alary Park, which was followed by a recita¬ tion, "The Honest Uid Toad," by Mary Thompson. John AVilliams followed by reciting "Mother's Almanac." A dia¬ logue, "The Elf Child," was presented.

The dues were fixed at 50 cents per year, and the purpose of the association as out¬ lined i.^ to assist and advance the cause of the school in every way possi¬ ble. It was tlie sense of the gathering that meetings be held every three years, although the constitution leaves to the discretion of the executive com¬ mittee the time and place of holding such gatherings.

Prof. Francis H. Green, of the West Chester State Normal school, was pre¬ sented, and addressed the association on "Counting," his plea being to give heed to our many blessings, to note also our blunders and to profit thereby so that the same errors may not be repeated, and I y avoiding our blund¬ ers once committed, they may thus be turned into blessings for our mater¬ ial and spiritual advancement.
