Clean and persistent hitting by tho K. & M. team, was one of the special features of tho game. In this department for long diive.» Donofry lead with a two-baso hit and a home run, whilo Captain Wodock was a good second, h,aving ono two and one three-bagger. Tho latter also easily carried off tho fielding hon¬ ors of the day by making one of the best stops and throws seen on a Glen¬ side diamond in a long time. There ia no doubt that h.ad this ball gotten awny from Captain Wodock it would havo meant two runs, as there were runners on second and third wheni Mathers hit the sphere and it went to¬ wards the right of the short stop posi¬ tion like a rifle shot. AVodock made a flying leap, grabbing tho ball with ona hand nnd while off his balance he made a lightning throw to the homei plate, getting Schriver, who was try- in,g to score.
The residents of Glenside are sup-' porting their ball team, as Is evidenced by the fact that almost $300 have been raised for uniforms, work on the grounds and the building of a new grand stand, and besides this they show their appreciation, of the team by; attending the games.
The story of how the runs were scor¬ ed is as follows: In first second and third periods the K. & M. boys scored tliree runs in each round on two bases on balls, a wild pitch, a missed third strike and seven lilts, of which threa went for two bases and one for three liases. In the sixth and eighth inningi^ our fellows put four more runs over Ihe plate on flvo singles, one two- hase hit and a home run. The Glen- .side team counted once in the flrst and once in the second on two singles and a stolen base. Another was added in the sixth on three singles. The seventh was their one big inning, when by Rood stick work they scored three runs. .-\fter this inning Hallman tightened up and there was nothing doing fur Glen¬ side.
This Saturday will be an open date f(,r K. & M, A. A. in the league, and JIanager AVacker has arranged a strong attiactio^i fur LinJeinwoid' field. The game will be called at 3.30 p. m.

f DIAMOND   NOTES.
From present indications K. & M. should  win  the pennant.
Captain AVodock is ,playing a smart game at short field.
Fred. Scholz, a local boy, is pitching' for North Wales. Several managers o£ teams hereabouts wanted him, but ha decided to cast his lot with Manager Bell.
Barren Hill, from all accounts, must have a good hitting team, for the boya of that historic place have been meet¬ ing the ball in a manner that should win man'y a game. Poor fielding, it la said, is what is keeping the team down in the race.
Wherever a league team is located one hears the assertion, "We will sup¬ port the home team as long as tha players are strictly amateurs, for we believe that in small towns baseball should be played for the sport alono and not for the money there is in it." "Let the local boys have a chance," said a gentleman at Glenside on Sat-, urday, "and no matter, if we are beat¬ en we will all feel that the great na¬ tional game had been played for the sport alone."
From what can be learned, the play¬ ers In the Montgomery County league will win some handsomo trophies thia season. Arrangements are being mado to hiive the business men of each town present .a oup, of which one will go to the best base stealer, the best batter and best run getter. There will also be a cup for the team having tho highest batting record.
Manager William Smith, of the Keas-^ bey & Mattison Athletic association track team, is striving for tho success of the 4th of July fleld meet. He waa in Glenside on Saturday arranging for the track team of that place to como to Ambler and particip<ate in tho sports on tho above day. Track teams from Philadelphia, Norristown and Lansdalo are also being invited.
The K. & M. boys are fast getting aJ reputation as a batting team, which la i/eing noticed by out-of-town people, for wherever the team goes one will hear the rooters say, "Your fellowa can certainly hit the ball," which ia proven tu bo true by tho fact Uiat In three league games pl.ayed the teani has made 44 hits for a total of 60 bases.
Oberholtzer, who has been catchinf? good ball behind the bat for K. & M., is out of the game with a sore finger. Atkinson, the local's new catcher, waa on tho receiving end on Saturday and caught a very creditablo game.
Other league games on Saturday re¬ sulted as follows: Barron Hill 5, North Wales 9. Fort Washington not scheduled.
