Sn was attended by Miss Anjia rilrtli, Jliss iMai-agret Dougrterty and ills. .Sara 'K. Hanesi,^ U'he flowier gn] was Miss llurgaret Morris. A lii-uther of the groom. Mr. - John IJuiineliy, was best man. The ii-shei-.': ',\Mie: -Mr. Chaiie." Hignf^e and Air. Gerald IJreininger. Mrs. JoiSepb Walt played the  edding march. A recep¬ tion followed at the home of fne bride L:iter .Mr. and Mrs. Donnelly left on {heir hiineymoon, whieh will be spen-i jh Atlantic City, and upon their re¬ turn theiV wjil reside in D: troit, .Mich, idi.s. Donnelly .is f|ulte well known Ainuiig the young folk of Ambler aiK. yii-iiiity. She is a former graduate 01 the Ainbler high school, and -at the time of ner marriage she was an in¬ structress at the Philad-;iphia Business college. The groom is a veteran of th ¦   VVorld   was,   having   served   witb
again   and    gave    us    our    lirst 1'orrest  opened  the   third  for  Ambler4 by   hitting   safely.   Kaye   was   retired on   strikes,   and   then   Earl   lifted   the,^,, ball out  of     the  lot    scoring    Forrest ahead of him. Again in the fourth the'l visitors  took  the  lead,'' When     Brogan' scored on his hit, a sacrifice by Gulick and    Bl-adlt.y's    single.   '>i\)m    this    it was a hard-fought game and runs did not  come  so  easy,   ambler  wSnt   intu the  final  session  one  run  behind  ami when   two   men   wtre   out   it    looked blue     for     Ambler,     Smith     was   re¬ tired.      Hartranft  hit  safely,  but  w;is forced .at second by Porrst. i-aye again hit safely, his fourth of the game and there   were   two   1- "   then   came,
what can safely be sA.id to have been the greatest ending of a' ball game ev(r been played on the local diamond. Earl had been four times to tne plate having gathered two hits, a two-base blow and a home run. On the second ball pitched he hit it a mighty blow, and as it cleared the centre field fence the wold scene was enacted, continu¬ ing long after the two riins were scored ahead of Earl. As he crossed the plate he was upon tne shoulders of the stawlart fans and a parade started around the grounds. He was Iter presented with a Hubstantial purse.
Keasbey and Mattison A. A. got into their winning way again last Saturday and took Weldon into camp by the score of 12 to 7. Richie was on the hill for the locals, while Wolf, former¬ ly with Wyndmoor twirled for Weldon. K. & M. put four runs over in -3 opening teession. HowevtjFf iWeldon came right back and came within one of tying th score. In the second tht' locals made a vicious attack on Wolf's offerings and scored three more runs. They drew blank in the next inning, but In th© sixth and seventh frames they piled up five more runs. In the fiifth and seventh Weldon scored lour runs, but this was all as Richie tight¬ ened up and was able to turn back the Weldon boys without further scoring. W. Lewis, Garrett and Hedrick carried off the fielding and batting honors for K. & M. Between them they acoepted 24 chances with but one error and they collected seven of the 11 hits made off Wolf, besides scoring five cf the 12 runs.
In the morning game Independence day, Anibler continued its winnin;^ streak by defeating Lansdale by the score of 6 to 4, bnt in the afternoon Perkasie at Ambler gave the locals their frst defeat since June 17. Tnis latter game was 1 layed in the rain, and as a result there was a big score. Perkasie winning 12 to 7. It must be said in Justice to Hartranft that de¬ spite the fact that he was hit for 2'3 safe blows he should have been re¬ turned a winner, Isenberger was the only offender. His slow lielding can easily account for at least six of the runs scored by the visitors. On two or threo occasions he ran within a few feet of a tly ball only to stop and allow it to dro|) .safely at his feet. He. was relieved by Douglass, who not only tiliiyed the position better, but caino to timo with a drive aginst the center lield fence tor two bases, ytxiring- Werden and he scored later       on Hartranft's   at (irst
