I Miss Nettie Ambers, of Plymouth' HITS WINS IN THE GAME THIRD Martin's Great Hitting and Fielding Largely Responsible — Tw6 Home R.jns Figure Largely — Johnson Pitches Well. In the little world setics,., of the Montgomery County league between Anibler and Perkasie, the flrst game, last Saturday on Knight Held, went to Ambler by the score of 7 to 4 and when the baseball pages of history are turned by the future generation they will read with miiny thrills of the won- i derful achievements of a home boy, Ralph Martin, whovjjroved himself a star in the victory. In the third inn- '¦ ing the great Houck, who was on the ' rubber tor Perkasie, after a consulta¬ tion with his teammates, decided to pass Doyle to get at Martin, who was considered easy for the stiir slabman of the up-country team. The pass¬ ing of Doyle put two runners on the bases, as Barfoot had singled previous- i ly. The tirst delivery by Houch to I Martin was a ball, and then with all ¦ his strength the big pitcher sent the ball plateward. Martin swung, and ' when ball und bat met thero was ya , crash that could be heard ^.ill over the ; park. The great crowd rose as one j and watched the ball as It dls- ¦ appeared over the fence. The scene I that followed is diflicult to describe, I and as Martin crossed the plate he jw-as picked up and carried to the play- j ers' bench. Hardly had the funs be- I came seated fr(mi this exciting mor 1 ment thun they were given another I thrill. Tydeman tollowed Maitin, and ( he is .also known to the Perkasie pitcher as a dangerous hitter, and he ' was the second man of the inning to ! be purposely passed to flrst. This ; time Houch thought he saw an easy I mark in "Kid" Wilson, tbe greatest i little short stop in the league, but i once more the big pitcher's dope went I WTong and the tans had the second thrill of seeing the ball disappear over I the lett fence, and again the fana ruahed on the fleld and carried Wilson to the bench. It was a great game and attended by the biggest crowd that has second on Johnson's drive to Chap¬ man. Dnylc set the crowd yelling again when he crashed the ball against j the centre tteld fence tor three buses, scoiing Johnson. M.irtin scored Doyle a moment later when he hit a slow roller to .Sellers. This was all' fur Am¬ bler, although Tydeman also put the ball against the left centre field fence for three bases in the eighth, but was out at the plate when Wilson hit to Chupman. Yeakel paved the way for Perkusie's Ia.st run, when he also hit to the centre field fence for three bases, und scored on Hart's sacriflce Ily to right. This was another won¬ dertul catch, and in order to get tho ball he had to back uguinst the fence. This was not all that Murtin did either. In the ninth when Peikasle becunie dangerous again he m.ade two more of the most spectaculnr cntches sotn here this season. It Is now on to Perkasie next Sat¬ urd.iy. Cline will pitch, and Manager Yost hopes to bring home the second victory and the pennant. Following is the score : WIN OOT Doyle, 3b. NIartin, rf Tydemnn, If Wilson, ss Yost.

HITS WINS
IN THE GAME
THIRD
Martin's Great Hitting and Fielding Largely Responsible — Tw6 Home R.jns Figure Largely — Johnson Pitches Well.
In the little world setics,., of the Montgomery County league between Anibler and Perkasie, the flrst game, last Saturday on Knight Held, went to Ambler by the score of 7 to 4 and when the baseball pages of history are turned by the future generation they will read with miiny thrills of the won- i derful achievements of a home boy, Ralph Martin, whovjjroved himself a star in the victory. In the third inn- '¦ ing the great Houck, who was on the ' rubber tor Perkasie, after a consulta¬ tion with his teammates, decided to pass Doyle to get at Martin, who was considered easy for the stiir slabman of the up-country team. The pass¬ ing of Doyle put two runners on the bases, as Barfoot had singled previous- i ly. The tirst delivery by Houch to I Martin was a ball, and then with all ¦ his strength the big pitcher sent the ball plateward. Martin swung, and ' when ball und bat met thero was ya , crash that could be heard ^.ill over the ; park. The great crowd rose as one j and watched the ball as It dls- ¦ appeared over the fence. The scene I that followed is diflicult to describe, I and as Martin crossed the plate he jw-as picked up and carried to the play- j ers' bench. Hardly had the funs be- I came seated fr(mi this exciting mor 1 ment thun they were given another I thrill. Tydeman tollowed Maitin, and ( he is .also known to the Perkasie pitcher as a dangerous hitter, and he ' was the second man of the inning to ! be purposely passed to flrst. This ; time Houch thought he saw an easy I mark in "Kid" Wilson, tbe greatest i little short stop in the league, but i once more the big pitcher's dope went I WTong and the tans had the second thrill of seeing the ball disappear over I the lett fence, and again the fana ruahed on the fleld and carried Wilson to the bench.
It was a great game and attended by the biggest crowd that has
second on Johnson's drive to Chap¬ man. Dnylc set the crowd yelling again when he crashed the ball against j the centre tteld fence tor three buses, scoiing Johnson. M.irtin scored Doyle a moment later when he hit a slow roller to .Sellers. This was all' fur Am¬ bler, although Tydeman also put the ball against the left centre field fence for three bases in the eighth, but was out at the plate when Wilson hit to Chupman. Yeakel paved the way for Perkusie's Ia.st run, when he also hit to the centre field fence for three bases, und scored on Hart's sacriflce Ily to right. This was another won¬ dertul catch, and in order to get tho ball he had to back uguinst the fence. This was not all that Murtin did either. In the ninth when Peikasle becunie dangerous again he m.ade two more of the most spectaculnr cntches sotn here this season.
It Is now on to Perkasie next Sat¬ urd.iy. Cline will pitch, and Manager Yost hopes to bring home the second victory and the pennant. Following is the score :
