Second Victory Over State
The Centre Hall base ball club
trounced State College Saturday after-
noon at the latter place by the score of
i7t06, It was the second victory in
as many games over the Blate boys,
The game was featured by numerous
accidents, and at each time it was a
home player that was the victim,
Baird, Paul Bradford aod Allison all
delayed the game to some extent by
requiring attention after they had been
hurt in various ways. Bmith, who
pitched a good game up until the
seventh inning, had to retire on ac
count of wrenching his back, Meyer
took his place in the box and parform-
ed in a creditable manner.

Friday evening at about five o'clock
Centre Hall and vicinity experienced
the heaviest rain in ten years or more,
the precipitation being two and three-

about one hour. The rain came in
torrents, and was accompanied by a

storm was experienced in the tele-
phone exchanges, the disturbance
being on the Bellefonte lines first, and
then on the Lewistown circuits. It
appears a shower passed over the up-
per portion of the valley, came down
along the south side, and then backed
toward Centre Hall. About the same
time a rain came over Nittany Moun-
tain, east of this point, and returned,
the two rains meeting here—and
something dropped,
