Ambler   High   Defeats  Jenkintown.
Daverelle, the star pitcher of the Jenkintown high school team, and who has iproved a terror to all the school teams this season, was just as easy for the Ambler team as the other pitchers have be^n. The Jen¬ kintown boys made their first appear¬ ance here " on Wednesday last and were defeated bx the score of 10 to 4. The game ;w'ae played on the Ambler A. A. grounds and as usual drew a nice crowd most of whom were pupils of Ambler's 'two schools.
In this game the home boys did the best_ batting of the season), getting iVer.elJe. for .16 hits., .or a. 'tot^J liw^ii'Sidgertdn taking the I<3ad by having two singles and a home run. Kelly and Mcllhenn.v also did good work with the bat, the former getting a two-bagger and a single and the latter three one-base drives. Ed¬ gerton, Rile and Ball played a good field game, while MacLaughlin and' Edgerton excelled iii base running. Kelly was on the rubber for the locals, and as usual had the visitors at his mercy from the start. MacLaugh¬ lin's work behind the bat was of high class. C)f the six visiting players who tried to steal he threw four out. Fol¬ lowing is the score:

Batting Fest Keeps Ambler Ahead, j Although North Wales Hit Camburn Frequently—Star Fielding Plays— Sellersville Defeats Perkasie. K. and M. A. A. retained the lead in the Twin-County league on Sat¬ urday by defeating North Wales at North Wales by the score of 15 to 7. The game was a slugging match from stait to flnish. 31 hits for a total oi 3S bases were made by the teams, but despite the large number of hits and the big score, the game was well played and interesting, only four er¬ rors being charged to both clubs. Camburn, K. an,l M.'s. star pitcher, was hit harder than at'any time this season and had it not been lor his teanuriates who also had their eye en the ball the result might have beeri different. Besson, C. Robinson and Davies had three hits each, while Wolf and Beil had a like number lor their side. Bell's three hits counted for seven bases. The fielding features of the game were carried off by Bes- Eon, K.rman and H. Floliinson for K. and M. For North Wales Bell, Hom¬ er and Buck Had the honirs of excell¬ ing.
K. and . M. .scored In the first • on singles by Davies and C. Robinsi>n and a stolen bases. The North Wales bo>s. got this one back in their half of the first on Wolf's single, who afterwards was thrown out tn a fielder's choice when Carey hit to Fir¬ man, and Bell's three-base hit. An error by Camburn, singles by Acker, Spear and Wolf gave the home club a three-run lead in the second. In the fourth K. and M. cut down this lead by one on C. Robinson's single, H. Robinson's out, Hahn to Acker, a steal by the former player and Bes¬ son's single. Kelly started a batting rally for the K. and M. boys in the fifth that netted four runs. Camburn started the same thing in the sixth i that put three runs over the rubber. | In the seventh, eighth and ninth inn- i ings six runs were scored on eight singles, three bases on balls and two stolen bases. North Wales came back strong in their half of the ninth and scored three rune on two singles and two two-base hits that were delivered in succession. Fol¬ lowing   le   the   score:

Court Opinion  Favors Township.       i
An opinion of interest lo tnis bor- j ough was handed down by Judge j Weand on jfonday in the case of Up- j per Gwynedd towni^liip against the borough of .North Wales, in which the township asked for the payment of a proportionate share of the indebted¬ ness of the township at the time the borough annexed portions of the Jones .ind Anders tr»cts. By many people it was believed that the town¬ ship through neglect to file objections had forfeited its right to recover, but it seems according to the decision of the court that this was not the case and ,the issue will now proceed to trial according to the facts in the case.
