Danville and Bloomsburg played
a summer's game of ball on Normal
Field Tuesday afternoon. The line
up of the Danville team is a good
one They are capable of playing
better ball than that put up on Tues
day. The score was 13 to 12 in favor
of the locals.
Bloomsburg offers very little at
traction to the stay-at-home. So
ciety appears to be inactive and in
terest in the early autumn euchre
parties at the club houses, is luke
warm since it has been learned that
there is to be an advance in the
price of light.

friends hereabouts wish him success

Bloomsburg offers nothing of
greater interest just now than the
trolley road, and it is a matter of
considerable discussion as to just
how some of the staid residents will
act when the line is eventually
completed. Rapid progress has
been made this week. A large
force of men are engaged on Main
street.and thebed.asfar as Jefferson
street, is ready for the rails, in fact,
they have been laid as far as Mar
ket street. The contractor prom
ises to have cars running between
Bloomsburg and Espy within the
next four weeks.
Bloomsburg scored an easy victory
over the Scranton Semi Profession
als on Normal Field, Saturday
afternoon. The visitors were a
gentlemanly lot of fellows, but dis
played little knowledge of the game.
They batted the ball around like
amateurs. The time that they de
voted to practice previous to their
appearauce here, if we are to judge
by their playing Saturday, was
misimproved. They should change
thdr name, Semi Professionals is a
misnomer. There was a good sized
audience present, but many left be
fore the game was over. Score 1 8
to 4.
Prof. Aldinger and his base ball
team have captured the town of
Lestershire, New York. They are
putting up good clean ball and the
games are drawing immense crowds.
Three games were played last week
one with Syracuse, leaders of the
Eastern League, and two with
WaverJy. Syracuse was defeated 4
to 1, but Waverly triumphed over
Lestershire in both events. The
scores in both games however, were
close. That factor, known as luck,
was all with Waverly, and this ex
plains iu a large measure the double
victory. In one of these two games,
Williams struck out nine men, which
is sufficient proof that his left arm
is still with him.
