Ambler A. A. Disappointed in Its Pfay- t'rs—Manager    Sharkey    Wo,
- a   Strong   Team   Against   Perkai .   ii Games in Suburban and  North  Pc Leagues.
Baseball league, big and litti'- ..i .nw the North Penn, got under way on Saturday to the delight of thousands of fans. There were the usual fea¬ tures attending each opening. The league, known as the big show is the Montgomery County league and com¬ ing next is the Suburban leagiie, while the "baby league" is the North Penn, Which .iB so called because ot having been iltarted this neHnrtn. .it is com¬ posed .strictly of amateur players, who grtve their services free. So far at-i Ambler is concerened it is well re¬ presented in both thei M^mtgoinery County and North Penn league. In the latter there as the Keasbey tli Mattison A. A., and the Ambler F'ield club, while in the former is the Amb¬ ler A. A.
Ambler A. A. opened Saturday at Lansdale meeting the beWt aggregation so far as can be seen, in the league. A number of the pla.yers who had been signed by JIanager Sharkey for the' locals failtd to show up, and as a result Amhler had to take the short end of a 13 to 1 score. After the game there was a. whdie.'ult of Ambjerl players', and when Perk.asie apptars' here next Saturday tor the .ocal open¬ ing there will be numl>er of new face.v. as Manager Sharkey is determined to Jilace a .strong team in the lield that will finish  better than  last  year.

relief players were sent in to e#niinue the game for Ambl^, and G. Pierson relieved   Michiner the    box,    who,
needless to say, had pitched a very effective game, allowin.g but three hits in six innings. This change some¬ what encouraged Oreland and during the next three innings they annexed 8 runs, while our boys scored but 4. The features of the game were the playing of Bis'hop, who accepted nine chances   out   of   13   for   Ambler,   and
of Oreland alone, featured with four hits for his team. W. Pierson made several great catches in centre field, especially the last out of the game, catching the ball over his shoulder while on a dead run. .Score hy innings Ambkr F. C. —00033440 4—24 Oreland —0 ,D 0 0 0 0 7 0 1— 8
