Perhaps of the twenty or more games played this season by the Champions of the Lehigh Valley, none was more stubbornly contested, fought out Inch by Inch, than the gamo with Ashland-Mt. Carmel Combination on the home grounds last Saturday in the presence of 800 to 1000 people. Lehighton was on their metal and novcr put up a better artldo of ball out playing in every point the Combination, tho strongest club by all means In tho great region of hard coal. It was a great game, and at critical points tho wind stopped blowing and people held their breath, but O'Hara, tireless, determined and with a perfect control of the hall was on duty In tho pitcher's box; Jennings, reliable and Indomitable was behind the bat; Christ- man, with agility and reliability, was on first; Simmons with no amateur equal guarded second; KotherM.il gingered third In splendid style; Chambers took care of short stop, while Stalz, Ynnser and Al bright guarded left, centre and right re spectively Tho Combination re-organized, ro-inforCcd and strengthened In ovcry point, detetmlncd on victory, pla)cd tho game of their life. It was short, quick work up to the sixth inning each club drawing blank after blank, until In tho seventh round Jennings lined a ball safe to left, stole second and passed to third on a short hit which gave Simmons first. Next Stalz took tip the stick, onco he swung his bat at the air, then he lipped a little fowl, then the ball with Its' wicked curve came moving toward him for tho second strike, but he met it even on tho home plate and lined It out safe between centre and right for two bags while amidst a storm of tho. wildest applause Jennings and Simmons followed each other over tho rubber. Thtre were no more runs scored by the home team, but In the eighth, the Combination made a point, and the game ended 2 to 1. We append the score: Lehighton 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 Combination -0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 x-2 0-1 Clothlnc lluyeri Head This.

Miss Annie Jacobs, of Lewistown, Pa., has been appointed to fill the vacancy In tho boy's secondary department of our pub lic schools, vice Miss E'.ta French, of Tioga county, declined, and Miss Ella C. SIbbcrt, of Shlppensburg, has been appointed to the boy's second primary In placo of Mrs. MIra Delfenderfer, of town. This makes the corps of teachers complete In every de partment. We aro the people. It was a great game. The Dutch aro on topi Lehighton plays at Jeanesvllle to day, Friday. It may Interest Tamaqua to know that we aro still "wld 'cm." Levlston on Saturday. You want to see them. They aro ball players. Steel, we feel for yon but you should haye known better. It's Lehighton, you know. They call Lehighton "the farmers." In this connection we might add that the crops are very good. From start to finish It was nip and tuck, though the home team outgcnerallcd the visitors In every point. There was no parade at Tamaqua last Saturday night, but al Mauch Chunk and, Ashland thoy wore crepe. It was the other fellows who went down Jimmy Malloy's toboggan slide last Satur day, and now tho gang who come down to see Lehighton whallopcd ato trying to Imaglno what struck 'em. In honor of the victory the band was out Saturday evening and paraded up our main thorough fare, while the small boy carried banners on which were "The Dutch on Top." "We aro the People," "Lehighton. 2; Combination, 1," Umplro Pettlnos, of Carlisle, who um pired Saturday's game Is to be congratu lated on the evident satisfaction given to all. Ills decisions were quick, clear and declslyo, and visiting umpires can learn much from the example set by him to be entirely-impartial. Combination defined means an Intimate union or association of four players from Danville, one or two from Lebanon, one from Reading and two from Schuylkill county, to do up Lehighton by request of Mauch Chunk, Lansford and Tamaqua. It was neat little trick, but the best laid plans of men and mire aft gac aglee. Lehighton beat Reading 5 to 3 Thursday In a game which closed In tho eighth inning when Umpire Bartholomew In a close do clslon, called a man out at first. The club were stoned by the hoodlum gang who filled the air with their blasphemous epl- tepbs. Tills game, as the first, Reading tried to steal from them. At Pottstown the umpire robbed them of tho gamo. This Is the story In a nut shell. A conespondent to the Philadelphia Sunday Times from Pottstown says: "Ono of the best games ever seen here was that with the Lehighton on Wednesday and the kind of bail the visitors put up gives them good reason to feel proud and style them selves the champion of the Lehigh Valley. Up to the eighth Inning It looked as if Pottstown was going to be shut out, but two runs were then scored and tho game tied. Each club was blanked In the ninth, and In the tenth Potts. own Ton the game. O'Hara and Jennings were In the points for the visitors, and were very effective."
