OCTOBER 7, 1909 STIRRING EVENTS AT SEASON'S CLOSE WITH RED FIRE, ORATORY AND ACCLAIM DANVILLE CELEBRATES A CHAMPION SHIP SEASON AND RENDERS HONOR TO THE TEAM—CHEERING THOUSANDS JOIN IN THE MONSTER DEMONSTRATION, WHILE PLAYERS ARE BAN QUETED AND PRESENTED WITH REMEMBRANCES OF DAN VILLE'S ESTEEM. JAMES SCARLET MADE FINE ADDRESS AT PENNANT RAISING With a series of festivities which lasfeil from 2 o'clock until mid- _ CS night Danville on Saturday closed the Susquelianna league season of v&v. 1909 and celebrated the winning of the league championship. 1 jftvP The occasion was unique in the town's hijtory. Diuiville has cle- Q 'I \ brated many glorious events, but never before was the town called up- yt >►-\ /v\ ou to honor to a championship base ball season and team, and that J\ iw W 'ft the city was equal to the occasion was evident to all who witnessed -<iyj» Saturday's stirring events. It was a day of rejoicing that will long be remembered. THE CHAMPIONSHIP PENNANT IS RAISED The first event on the program was gotten under way promptly at 2: 1.1 ! when the Danville and Benton teams j left tlio D. L. & W. crossing on Mill ! street headed by Berger's band and j marched to tlio ball grounds, where a [ crowd of 1500 people cheered every dei velopment of the program. With the Danville team lined up be- ! fore the grand stand, a selection was given by the band and then James Scarlet, Esq., presented the pennant to the Danville Athletic association in a most suitable address. Mr. Scarlet said we exult not alone because the pennant is here but also be cause there is no taint or suspicion on ' the club that won. Fair play and a square deal has been the motto of the Danville club during the season. The fact that her antagonists were worthy makes the victory all the sweeter and 1 we should shout for all the teams of J the Susquehanna league. No league ' has furnished its patrons with better and more thrilling base ball. Mr. Scarlet complimented the direct ors and managers of the Danville Ath- j letic association for furnishing a sea- I son of clean sport. lie then turned to the rooters, male and female, and told i them it was their steadfastness that hail often turned defeat into victory. Turning to the Danville base ball ' club, Mr. Scarlet said, members of the Danville base ball club, we part with you with regret. You have had , the honor of Danville in your keeping ' and right loyally have you kept it. It can be said of the Danville club that ; it is a club of gentlemen, worthy of j commendation. You stand in the Sus- j quehanna league without a peer. Both teams and the hand then march ed to the flag pole and the maroon and gold emblem was flung to the breezes. DANVILLE TOOK CLOSING GAME OF THE SEASON The Danville team closed its part of ! the season of IStO'.t Saturday afternoon j ina fitting manner by adding one ] more victory to its string at the ex- | pense of Benton. Both teams put up a good game, and while Danville was in no danger at any time the game was j not one sided enough to become mono- | tonous. The crowd had the ploasure of see ing Jimmie Board play in right field. He came up to all expectations when he lifted a pretty line drive over the center field fence. He hail but two chances in right field, one of which, a hard try against the fence, he didn't get. Coveleskie was in the box during the game and was working in his easiest style. The game went two innings without scoring. In t lie third Mackert opened with a long fly into center, went to second on Dooloy's sacrifice and took third on Metzler's roller to short. Hess popped a high one in the vicinity of the second station which nobody decid ed to take, and Mackert scored. Danville took another tally in the fourth, when Jimmie Beard sent the leather over the pallisade. In the sixth! Livengood scored by singling to right and passing around on a stolen base and an eiror. lie repeated the trick in the eighth singling to right, ad vancing on Burke's error and scoring on Coveleksie's hit. Benton grew troublesome in but one chapter. In the eighth Biannigan singled to left and was advanced on Reichart's hit. McCarty got life on Thomas' error, tilling the bases. Brau nigan scored on Long's out, and E. Laubacli fanned. The score: DANVILLE. R. H. O.

The banquet was a most delightful affair, enthusiasm and the spirit of victory running high. Chief among the guests was President William L. McCollum, nt Wilkes-Barre, who took I occasion during the evening to com- [ plimeut highly the Danville team and ! its backers. He also paid a compli- ! inent to Simon K. Hoffman as the most ; capable manager in the Susquehanna I league. A telegram was read at the banquet from T. .1. Price,president of the Dan -1 ville Athletic association, who was ab sent from t lie city, tendering hearty | congratulations to the team itud ex ! pressing regret tliat he could uot be I present at the festivities, j The banquet itself was a credit to | the City hotel management. At a long ! table which reached the length of the I dining room, were seated the stock- | j holders and team, and at a smaller | table at one end were the directors ■ and officers. An orchestra rendered music during the affair. The menu was as follows: Blue Points on half shell !

MONSTER CROWD VIEWS THE BASE BALL PARADE No evidences have been lacking of j late to prove that base ball hits taken j deep root in Danville. It remained, I however, for the parade, Saturday | night, following on the heels of the rousing demonstration attending the j raising of the pennant, to establish j beyond all doubt or denial the full breadth and depth of the enthusiasm i pertaining to the national game that has laid hold of the people regardless of age, rank or calling. ! That the demonstration had the i moral support of the public was evid- I enced by the noisy throngs on the ! streets. The whole town seemed to have turned out en masse. It was the usual Saturday night crowd augment ed tenfold. By 7 ;80 o'clock the side walks were overflowing and persons who were desirous of moving from one point to another with celerity were obliged to take the middle of the street. At that early lionr red light began to burn, while cow bells, and horns mingled with shouts conveyzed some idea of what was to follow. The first real demonstration occurred when the 8 o'clock trolley car arrived I from Bloomsburg and the Catawissa J band alighted. In a blaze of red light and with tumultuous throngs flank and ; rear the band marched to Market street 1 where the Mcchanicsvilie band was ! waiting and where the parade was to ' form. , It was about 8:80 o'clock when the ! parade moved. The scene that was | presented as the column swept down [ Mill street has had few parallels in the history of Danville The long street from end to eud seemed enveloped in j one continuous blaze of red light; | scores of rockets were exploding in the i air, while the horns and the cow bells —well, they simply did their worst. A word as to the lino of march. First came the Danville police force —Chief of Police Mincemoyer and Officer ,T. G. Voris accompanied by Constable W. E. Young. Immediately following were Chief Marshal Edward Corman, President of the Susquehanna League W. L. MeCullum and Aide Samuel Rebrnan. At this point lead ing the main column came the stars and stripes—the beautiful flag of Good rich Post, No. 22, G. A. R.—borne by Samuel Lunger, a member of the post , and the veteran of many battles. The j Catawissa band followed, whose spirit ed music inspired a vigorous quick j step. I About midway in the first division | came the league pennant born proudly | aloft by Albert Bookmiller. Then fol ' lowed "Our Team," Tube wroks ball | team and supporters. In the first div ision wore several banners on one of 1 which was emblazoned the legend: "The Team With the Perfect Record." On another the Tube Works team pro i claimed its honorable record as fol lows: "Tubers Won Two; Lost O. Percentage 1000. " The latter banner was carried by Earl Ammerman and Fred Rupp. i The second division, headed by W. ' A. Sechler, John Cruikshank and James Ryan, marched to the music of the | Medianicsvilie band. After the band I the stove works team and supporters the "smoke shop" the White Horse ! and the Riverside teams followed in i order. In this division a banner borne 'by the Stove Work's team, hurling a | bold challenge to the Tubers attracted attention. The banner, which was car ried bv Arthur Walker, manager, and Gus Lehman, oaptain.read as follows: "Tubers:—Met Us at AthleticJPark in 11)10. Nuf Sed. Stove Works." The interesting procession moved down Mill street to Chambers street where it countermarched to the river bridge. It doesn't require any nerve to pass the hat, providing the other fellow is holding it. C. P. HANCOCK I BEFOREJOUNCIL B. O. Ellis, general manager and A. ; W. Duy, solicitor of the Columbia Light, Power and Railways company, i appeared before council Friday eve for the purpose of making application for the right to erect poles on the streets for the purpose of bringing into Dan- j ville the highly efficient, electric cur rent to bo transmitted from Harwood in the near future. They explained that the erection of poles is in progress both between liar wood and Berwick andjbetwecn the latter point and the towns of Bloouisbnrg and Dam ilie. On motion i! was ordered that the matter be referred to the borough solic itor and that it bo taken up for fur ther consideration at a special meeting to be held next Friday night. MR. HANCOCK S PROPOSITION. A communication was received from the borough solicitor explaining that the original street ra .way ordinance and the East Market street paving ord inance both imperatively require that j the Danville & Snnbury Transit com pany pave its portion of East Market street with precisely the same material and in precisely the same manner that is used by the borough of Danville. 1 This, he said, makes it clear that the j paving bricks can not be legally laid ! flat between the rails,but must bo laid 1 on edge. On motion Mr. Gearhart's I communication was accepted and ord , ored filed. j C. P. Hancock,president of the Dan- I ville and Sunburv Transit company, | was present and explained that it was : not necessary that the brick be laid | j flat between the rails in order to use ! i the street rail at present in use on the j Danville and Snnbury line. Ho ex hibited two specimens of special brick i that, are being manufactured to show | that it is practical to pave to the ■ present rail without employing a dif ferent and more expensive system. The proposed brick, of course, would be j I laid edgewise. i Mr. Hancock's proposition was tak- i on up and a rather heated discussion followed. There seemed to be no one among the councilmen who objected to the Danville and Sunbury Transit company using the rail at present in use on East Market street, provided the proper brick be used. It seemed to be the sense of all, however,that there ' should be no undue haste in taking j tiual action. Mr. Hancock protested | against delay. On motion of Mr. Clea ver, however, it was ordered that the matter be deferred until next Friday ! night when a special meeting will be j held. MAHONING CREEK. ' A communication was received from I H. T. Heclit, superintendent of tin Rolling Mills department of the Read ing Iron company, calling the atten tion of council to the condition of 11 bod of Mahoning creek at a point b low the dam opposite the mills. There is an accumulation of stones, dirt an i ; rubbish in the creek bed which has raised the level of the creek to a pohit which seriously interferes with the operation of the mills by damming up the sewers and throwing water into the wheel pit whenever the water is at no normal height. It was asked that the borough have the bed of the creek cleaned out, the Reading Iron com pany agreeing to stand one-half the expense. On motion of Mr. Curry it was ord ered that Mr. Hecht's proposition be accepted. It was stipulated, however, | that the work be done under the sup | ervision of the street commissioner, i A communication was received from | Hugh Oliver, Sr., proposing to furnish | a horse, wagon or cart to do the work | on the streets at the rate of $2.00 per j day. The proposition included a man | also. ! On motion it was ordered that Mr. j Oliver's communication bo accepted ' and filed. His proposition was taken up I later and was declined. ELECTRICIAN'S REPORT. I The borough electrician presented i his report, which showed that the to i tal cost of operating the plant for i September was $388.51. Sixty-seven i tons of coal were consumed. The plant | was in operation 297 hours, i Oil motion it was ordered that an ' incandescent lamp be placed at Church 1 and Water streets anil at Cross Key's place on Water street.

ESTABLISHED IN 1855 "THE LAW OF THE JUNGLE" Hon. Alexander Billmeyer's fine herd of twenty elks is now reduced to nineteen. Old Jumbo, which had al ways possessed a fairly good reputa tion, a few days ago went bad and killed a two-year-old elk bull, one of tho finest specimens of the herd. Mr. Billmeyor and son Harry were in this city yesterday. They had just shipped the head of the dead elk to Williauisport, where it will be mount ed bv thi' well-known taxidermist, C. 11. Eldon. In conversation with a News report er they described the deadly conflict, in which the young elk lost his life. Jumbo previously, although inclined to be savage when brought in contact with human beings, showed no par ticular animosity toward his own kind. He accordingly was allowed the freedom of the general enclosure, which this year, owing to the low stage of the creek, is nearly twice tho | size of former years. I Jumbo seemed on the usual good terms with tho rest of the herd until I Sunday, when his savage nature seem ! Ed to assort itself and he fell upon tho ! two-year-old bull. The latter, although Ihe weighed some seven hundred j pounds, was no circumstance to the ! monster Jumbo. ' Governed by savage instinct the old elk thrust his sharp antler into tho fore quarter of the young bull, aim ing directly for his heart. He missed his mark only by a small margin and produced a wound sufficient to canso | death. In his savage ferocity lie next jumped upon tho injured bull and ; trampled him under his foot. Meanwhile all were powerless to render aid, as it would have meant instant death for any person to have entered the enclosure. Even the other bulls, several in number four years of age, shrunk into one corner awed by ! old Jumbo's exhibition of wrath. PROCLAIMED HIMSELF KING. At this juncture the game preserve afforded a remarkable instance to il lustrate the "law of tho jungle." Old Jumbo was forced into a separate en closure, where he can do no harm. Hardly had he been secured, however, and the dead body of his victim re moved from the field, when the larger of tho four yearlings bounded out into the open and giving his head a lordly toss and hurling defiance to the rest of the herd, in language that all un derstood, proclaimed himself king of the herd. In a single day, almost in a | single hour his nature underwent a j change. From a playful and tractable I beast he became savage and ungovern able—a terr> r to tl .• r -t of the herd i and a menace to human life.
