In the morning Woolrich and Mill Hall battled for supremacy, but Mill Hall won out by the close score 6-5. In the afternoon game Howard beat Beech Creek by a score to 0-3. Both contests proved to be interesting and it is stated that the re ceipts for both games were over $250 In the latter game, Orrie Kunes, of Blaochard, a member of the Beech Creek club, was hit in the eye by a ball | glancing from his bat and sustained a painful injury. He had to the game and secure the services of a physician, No other accidents werd re ported. In the evening the principal amusement was dancing in the pavilion which was kept up until a late hour, To the credit of the large crowd not an intoxicated man was seen on the ground during the day, thus the officers had nothing to do but draw their pay. Among (he progressive citizens of Snow Shoe is T. B, Buddinger who has spent much of his life in that vicinity as a merchant and coal operator. He built himself a cozy residence, and has all the | comforts neccessary to make life happy. About one year ago Mr, Buddinger saw a chance to make money in the lum. ber business in West Virginia, and sold out his mercantile business in Snow Shoe and is now devoting much of his time to telling trees and sawing them into marketable lumber. Recently he purchased a residence in the South where he and his family? will d the winter, and the summers at their moun. tain home.
