The regular monthly meeting of the Ambler school board was held Thurs¬ day evening in the Mattison avenue schcol building with Messrs. Styer, Weber, Jenkins, Maas, Hayden, Allen and Irvin and Dr. Hough in attend¬ ance. The minutes of the meeting held July  G  were  read  and  approved.

Mr. Faust stated that for some years the state tax on the local school bonds vvas paid by the bond holders, and it is only within the last five or six years that the tax has been paid by the board. Mr. Maas stated that the reasons for thfe act are that few peopje make a correct or com¬ plete return of their personal holdings of stocks or bonds, and this failure and the desire of the state to secure all tax payments due ai"e responsible for the law.

Cjuakertown appeared to have a sate lead up to the eighth by the score if 5 to 3, but in that inning Am¬ bler iiia.Ie six hits for a total of 13 bases, including a double and two homers, scoring eight runs winning the game.
Aiiiiil-r scored one in the first. Af¬ ter il.jv.es was out Cariss doubled to left. Wheeler struck out, but Foulke dou illed to left, scoring Cariss. In the '.bird Howes flew out to Cressman.

Quakertown did  not score  until  the third,   when   errors   by   Ambler's   new third       baseman     were       responsible.

UMPIRE ERRS; K. & M^BEATEN.
Ambler Boys Given Bad Decision and Lose.
Umpire Joyce Calls "Foul" on a Fair Hit Because He Did Not Run Over to the Line to See Where the Ball Hit.
l-"or the second time this sca:=on tho K. and M. A. A. players, of Ambler, were justified in registering a protest against the umpire's decision. Tho last time Sellersville was in Ambler Umpire Wright put the home team down fur tho count by declaring foul a fair ball that would have scored a run and put the homo team on even ternis with the visitors. This timo Uiiij'jrc Joyce gave a great e.xliibition of "tiredness" and failed to get over to the line to see Obfci-holtzer's hit that was fair without a doubt but which the umpire, declared foul. Had he rightly called this ball fair, K. and • JI. vvouid have scored two runs and the score would  have  been  tie.
Telford made Us last appearance on Lindenwold Field and defeated the K. and M. A. A. in a Twin-County league game by the score of 4 to 2. Tha game was the fastest and best play¬ ed seen here this season. Both Bes¬ son and Hartzell vvere in the best of form, although Besson had the best control, while Hartzell allowed tho home team only five hils. Besson struck out t-ight of the visitors and Hartzell fanned si.x of the home play¬ ers. The game vvas played in one hour and 15 minutes, only the re¬ gulation number of men going to the bat for K. and M. in the first flvei innings.
The home team was th.? first to Score. Shinn opened the sixth by hit¬ ting to Butterwlck at short, vvho fum- Dled the ball long enough for Shinn to reach first safely. Miller and Kelly both laid down neat sacrifices, which put Shinn on third. Hartzell then got himself in a hole by pass¬ ing C. Robinson vvho promptly stolq second. Liberholtzer then set the crowd yelling by planting a double between left anci center, which scored both Shinn and C. Robinson. This vvas the extent of the home team's scoring, although in the eighth they had a good chance to tie the score, but the umpire put them out of it by declaring (.iberholtzer's second double a foul, which had sent in Miller and C. Robinson vvho had both gotten in through singles.
The visitors did not get a run across the plate until the seventh. In this inning three singles and two two- base  hits   were   made  off  Besson,   but

(Hit of it $15 vvas contributed to¬ wards defraying the expenses of the celebration of the 4th of July and $17.55 exnended for the flag and staff. The remaining $6.55 has been placed in the hands of AVm. J. Devine, Jos. A. Buchanan and Phaon Rex, vvho were selected by the contributors to act as trustees of the fund which is to be used for tho maintalnence of the flag.
bers of the association company must have 16 niembers on liand at all tlimes. Mr. Jonee. in .speaking uppn the same matter, said it is the object of this association to procure the lovvest rates possible. There are but tvvo companies, Jen¬ kintown and Ambler, vvhich through their good equipment have been able to secure class A rates for their towns. The aim of the association is to pro¬ cure these rates for every company, and should the committee of the Un¬ derwriters association not approve the equipment of some of the companies every effort will be made by the as¬ socialion to assist such companies to secure the pu-oper equipment. The secretary was instructed to procure blanks and forward same to each com¬ pany that a record may be kept ol all properties saved or destroyed.
Following the remarks of A. R. Hayden, chief of the AVissahiekon conipany, of Anibler, vvho said he vvouid like to see some of the older menibers take the floor at each meet¬ ing and offer suggestions that would be helpful to the young companies, Secretary Foster informed the^ me.ii¬ bers that he attended a demonstration of a nevv cheniicai apparatus ai Stroudsburg a short time ago. The new machine, instead of discharging its tank with the aid of acid, com¬ pressed air is used and a stream can be thrown more than 200 I'eet through a l-'i nozzle. It is claimtJ by the manufacturers of the new chemical that it is cheaper because no acid is needed.' and besides It is not necessary to discharge a whole tank of the chemical when started. Mr. Foster told the niembers that ihert i.s no danger from freezing, as this p^iini had been taken up by many who were present at the demonstration. The manufacturers of this new cheniicai vvill be given a chance to demonstrate their nevv machine at the annual gatherings of the association, but this action vvas not taken until Mr. Hay¬ den had called attention to the fact that for the last tvvo years he has been making an eft'ort to get the associa¬ tion something that would be a great benefit to the firemen, instead of a gala .time.
A short history of the association for the benefit of the nevv members was given by President Jones, wbo said a thought came to him one day what a great good an associalion of the lire companies would da if banded together properly. He spoke of this to the menibers of several companies, and the result vvas the organization of the present associalion, which has done more than he expected. Greater inti««:est has been manifested by the members in several companies, and many of the companies have gouen out of the old rut and have secured better equipment and better quarters, and many of the citizens who opposed the efforts of the flremen are now going about boasting of the well equip¬ ped company they have in their town. The remarks of Mr. Jones were well received by the menibers, and all must agree that he was the pioneer in forming an organization that has done much good in this sec¬ tion   of   Montgomery   county.
A vote of thanks vvas extended to Mr. Bodenstein for his kindness in al¬ lowing the association to meet in his pavilion in the grove, which he h^id decorated vvith lanterns and flags and was ilUimlnated by a large number of electric lights. The next meeting of the association will be held at R.ick- ledge Saturday evening, October 7

O'Malley, vvhile looking -ood, was nervous, giving Quakertown several runs, and in th-^ sixth Captain Flavell removed him, placing Cariss on third, Foulke on second and Wildrick in right. Besides the heavy hitting of the Ambler team, a feature of the con¬ test vvas the great catch by Howes in the sixth inning. After Brown and James had struck out Saylor hit a line drive between left and centre and Howes started after it vvith the crack of the bat. Running with all his might he leaped and stuck out one hand, grabbing the bah, making one of the greatest catches ever seen in the Xorth Penn league.

Gallagher,! the star third baseman of the Ambler team, has left and gone west. Captain Flavell will probably have a strong man for this vacancy for Saturday's contest vvith Perkasie.
