ONE INNING AND KNOCKS
BUTLER OUT OF HON.
The County Seaters punished the
Canalers Sattirdny afternoon in the
long looked for opening game at
Hawley. The dose was 14-5.
Honesdale made a killing In tho
"lucky seventh," bunching their
hits, knocking Butler out of the
box, and scoring nine runs. Up to
that time It looked very much like
anybody's game with the chances
slightly In favor of Hawley. But
that seventh stanza put the quietus
on the Bridge Dodgers. No less
than fourteen men faced Butler In
that session. And the way they hit
the ball was something terrific!
Tho game was called at the end
of the eighth Inning to permit the
County Seaters to get their supper
and catch the C:35 Erie train for
home.
Thirteen was a lucky number for
Honesdale last Saturday afternoon.
When the Citizen man counted
noses on the 2:50 Erie Hawley-
bound train, he found that there
were just thirteen men in the party,
Jacobs and HelBtern together with
Manager Leon Ross and assistant
manager R. B. Bracey bringing the
number uri to that Ill-omened limit.
The game was . late in starting,
and did not open until 4:10 p. m.
McNamara acted as umpire, and his
decisions were quite fair to both
teams. Captain Gibbons had some
trouble in getting his men together.
Honesdale scored first in the
opening session. Mangan, the first
man un. got to first on errors. Bra-
der hit a nice littlt hit, Mangan be
ing out at second. Brader was ad
vanced to second on Hatler's hit.
Sandercock came along with a line
drive good for two bags, scoring
Brader. Shortstop "Juicy" Polt
drew a pass to first, and the bases
were full.
Schilling filed out to second base
man Gibbons, Hatler scoring. Bader
was out on an easy grounder to
short.
When Hawley came to the bat,
Wilson, first man'up, skied to Pitch
er Male. McNamara was ovt on an
easy grounder to Pitcher Male

by
ALDENVILLE WINS BY GREGOR'S
PITCHING.
"They couldn't 'hit Gregor!" That
was the trouble Saturday afternoon
on the silk mill grounds, when the
German Catholic club was defeated
by the Aldenvllle team to the score
of 5 to 0.
Southpaw Gregor who pitched on
the regular team last year Is a good
pitcher. He proved it again last
Saturday. And among the consoling
features In the loss of the game may
be mentioned the fact that the Al
denvllle team is practically made up
of Honesdale players. There Is
Kupfer, for instance, captain of last
year's team, and the best shortstop
in the county. There are Shields
and Targett, old Honesdalers.
The only chance Honesdale had to
score was In the sixth inning. She
had three men on bases and none
out. Polt next man up sent a fly to
the left fielder, who caught it and
got It to the home plate ahead of the
lellow on third who tried to score on
the fly
Welch pitched a good game He
allowed no hits until the last inning,
whe,n a combination of four hits and
three bad errors let Aldenvllle get
three more runs.
The heart rending details follow:

80,000 FOR BUSINESS OF
COUNTY ROADS JUNE COURT
State to Commence Work
on Main Street
i
CIVIL ENGINEER A. W. LONG
SAVS ROADS ARE IN GOOD
SHAPE.
Arthur W. Long, civil engineer of
Scranton, made a professional trip to
Honesdale on Monday in tho interest
of t'fte various pieces of State road in
Texas township. Mr. Long was ac
companied over the roads by Super
visor and Street Commissioner Law
rence Weldner.
During the year Texas township
has expended $192.50 per mile for
maintenance of Its ten miles of ma
cadam road. It has filed application
with' the State department for Si, 925,
for which amount the State will re
imburse the township, Engineer Long
claiming that he found all roads in
good shape and that Texas would re
ceive the full amount asked.
Engineer Long, in conversation
said: "Under the new Act the State
payb 50 per cent., the township one-
quarter and the county one-quarter.
One million dollars has been appro
priated for State aid roads outside of
the three million dollars for the main
roads under tho Sproul bill. The
roads in Texas township come under
the State aid fund. This fund is
governed by the number of miles of
township reads in each county. The
appropriation will be for the next two
years, expiring Juue 1, 1913. The
amount available In Wayne county
Is $25,070.37. This amount Is prac
tically over $50,000 owing to the
county and township being required
to each pay one-quarter, making
half. Heretofore tho State paid
three-quarters and the county and
township one-eighth, respectively."
When asked whether or not the
State would commence work on Main
street, It being on one of the Sproul
routes, (Mr. Long stated that he
thought it would. "Regarding the
width of the street," he continued,
"tho maximum width Is sixteen feet
In township, roads and when the road
goes through a main thoroughfare in
a town the authorities pay the bal
ance. This has been the agreement
In the past. . There is a provision, in,
.the new bill. ; however, whereby
-.towns'' enter lntoa contract with, the,
of the streets."

"I don't care for a circus. Life Is
one grand circus to me; tumbling
around to get a living. Maybe I'll
get the fever,"
The iman who was overheard to
make these remarks by a Citizen
man last Friday morning, was seen
In the afternoon of the same day
occupying a front row reserved seat
at the Sparks show, with a package
of popcorn in one hand, and a bag
of peanuts peeping out of his left
pocket, laughing along with the rest
of the merry crowd at the grimaces
and stale jokes of the clowns. He
got the fever!
Boys from three years on up were
In great demand In Wayne county
last week. Gray-haired citizens just
had to go to the circus to show
their Infant grandsons a good time!
It was wonderful what excuses the
people out in Beaehlake and there
abouts framed to account to their
neighbors for being obliged to go to
the county .seat that day. Mary
needed a new pair of shoes. His
wife wanted to have her last sum
mer's hat made over Johnny but
what's the use they all drifted to
the flats in East Honesdale, and
many were the laughing greetings
exchanged. "Why, Sam, I never
expected to see you at the circus."
Well of all persons." "Sally. 1
