The   Ambler   Field   club   Increases- its   lead   in   the   'North   Penn   League^ race  last   Saturday  afternoon  by   de-, feating Oreland by- a score of 4 to 0. The  game was staged on Lindenwold Field    before    a fair  crowd    of    en¬ thusiasts.       During .tlijej      flrst   lour Innings both teams were held scorless Michener holding the Oreland batter* hltless,   while  Ainbler failed  to  scor^^ bn   swiferal   occasions.       In   the   flfth^ Qreland again havdng failed to score,-! Bishop,   for   AtSovSIi,   singled   and   got' <4n   base.   Pierson-'aJso   reached   flrst and Bishop took second. Alter Green field was put out HayWjMd  sacrifice' the runners to second ttttite^hird .an ¦was thrown  out a,{, .Jt)^^t.--^^IMreS then    came  forward    with  a,    timely scoring    Bishop,      The  inning    ended without   further   score.   Again   in   the seventh    Bishop   go|t   on       base   and reached   third   when   he   was   brought in by a sacrifice hit. Oreland was still held scoreless, and in  the eight made a mighty attempt  to  tally.  With men on   second   and   third   and   only   one out chances were opened for the score to be tied.      But here Michener show¬ ed his supreinacy by striking out the next  man.      A grounder  to  Haywood, however,   ended   the   innning   without score.      In  the  eighth  tine  Field  Club cinched   the   game,   when   Pennington .'md   Greenfield scored on a timely hit by Buchanan. After  a  matter of minutes and  the visitors  left the  field without a  tally.      The   features  of   the  game were   the     hitting  of   Buchanan     and Pierson,     the     supreme     control     of Michener   in    the   box       who   proved master of nine opponents at the plate and   a   fast   double   play   executed   by Bishopi    to   Haywood     to   Pennington Hoyst  also   pitched   a   flne   game  lor Oreland     but     weakened     noticeably in    the   latter    innings,   allowing   hjs opponents to score some neatly placed hits.
