Large Crowd Saw Game.
William Vetter was THE hero in
Honesdale on Saturday when the lo
cals defeated their ancient rivals
from Carbondalo by the scores of 11
to 2 and 1 to 0 in the ilrst double
header In one afternoon in the town's
.history. Vetter pitched the whole
eighteen innings, allowing but seven
lilts in the first game and but one
very scratchy hit in the second
game when Dondican beat out a bunt
to Slim Mangan. The fact that Sian
gan's arm is in bad condition gave
Dondican Ills hit, for with a good
arm behind the throw to first, Don
dican would never havo been safe.
It was laughable to see the "Min
ers" break their backs trying to kill
Vetter's slow benders, but usually
all they could do was lift a small
pop fly or send slow roller to the in
field. Tetter's pace during the whole
game was the same. He was about
as excited and as heated as a block
of ice, jio matter whether the bases
were full or not. He received good
support, especially in the second
game, the all around work of Capt.
Brader featuring.
Carbondale came here with the
intentions of capturing both
games of this double header and
thereby winning the series as they
were strengthened by two Jermyn
players of the County League, Mack
and Dondican, but they had not
counted on one William Vetter of
Honesdale.
Vetter did not start the first game
as though he was going to make
any records, as Carbondale scored
in the second inning on an error by
Stevens and a hit by Craft. They
scored again in the third on two
solid two-base . wallops, but after
that Vetter had everything his own
way with the aid of rattling good
support from his team mates. Hones
dale made five runs in the third in
ning on three hits, a sacrifice, three
errors and a hit batsman. The whole
Carbondale team seemed to go
"ballooning" In this inning which
was McAndrew's last on the rubber.
We scored two more in the fourth
with Dondican pitching when Brad
er, Lily and Sandy hit in succession.
In the seventh three 'more crossed
the plate. Weaver hit for two bases
and Stevens and Larson singled and
Fee allowed a throw in from cen
ter field to go through him. Hones-
dale's last run was scored in the
eighth when Brader and Lily both
hit for one base and Dondican threw
to the bleachers trying to get Brader
off first.
For six innings In the second
game only three men In each inning
faced Vetter and no one reached
first base. It looked bad for "Bill"
in the seventh for a few minutes.
Larson erred on Craft's grounder
and Dondican beat out his bunt,
(Carbondale s only hit) and both
moved up a base when Larson fumb
led a throw to catch Craft at sec
ond. Walker attempted to bunt and
popped a fly into Siangan's hands.
who tossed the ball to Brader at
third, completing a nice double play.
Brader whipped the ball to second
and came within about one-eighth
of an Inch of making a triple p'ay of
it.
Honesdale scored Its only run off
"Sods" Watkins, who also pitched a
very creditable game, in the ninth
Inning. Sandy started it with a
clean single. Tarkett was safe on
an error by Barrett; Weaver bunted
to Watkins who caught Sandy at
third, Faatz rolled another one to
Watkins who again, by tossing to
third, caught Tarkett. Larson lined
one to Carpenter who threw to the
bleachers and Weaver scored the
only run of one of the best games
ever seen on the Honesdale grounds.

BASE BALL.
Hawley defeated Milford at Mil
ford on Saturday. A brother of
Bill Steel, the St. Louis National
pitcher, worked for Milford.
Aldenvllle received her first defeat
of the season at the hands at the G.
C. cliib' "on Saturday. Score 7 to 6.
Schilling, Carr, J. Hessling and J.
Polt were the Honesdale batteries.
Gregor and Ritter worked for Alden
vllle. Hawley has commenced to squeal.
The Honesdale team journeyed to
Hawley on Sunday, and of course
did not play on account of the rain.
Immediately after it was decided
not to play the Hawley management
informed the local management that
they would havo to cancel the game
up here for next Saturday and when
asked why, as their excuse said that
the first gamo of the series must be
played in Hawley. Manager Spencer
has informed Manager McDonald
that he didn't make the rain Sunday,
tnat he did not even order it. and
that he would expect them to stick
to their word and schedule and play
here next Saturday. We under
stand that the H&wleyltes havo hir
ed three players from either Milford
or Port Jervls to help win 'the
Honesdale series. Why not hire the
scranton State League team again?
It Is closer to homo, and we don't
believe either Port Jervls or Milford
have anything that can beat us.
HE. WHO RUNS MAY NOT READ.
Many a merchant has been too
busy wondering what the parcel post
was going to do for his competitor,
the mail order house, to consider
that It might havo in it some good
for himself. Yet Instead of being a
bugbear, threatening destructive
competition, the parcel post in actu
ality broadens tremendously the
smaller merchant's field of trade
possibilities. It enables him to deal
with every person within fifty miles
of his place of business at a lower
postal rate and much more expedi
tiously than any concern outside his
district can. The moral is obvious:
Co In and win.
TO INCREASE SUMMER BUSINESS
Tobias Smith, of Tyler Hill, has
sold his four-story grist mill situated
on the road between Tyler Hill and

The latter will remove It back from

RAILWAY COMPANY WILL
NOT DM ARIEL ROAD
OFFICIALS AFTER TOURIXG
COUNTRY ALONG PROPOSED
LINE, GIVE IT UP.
At Least This is the Decision I-or the
Time Being Timothy Burke In
1-nvor of Lino to Ariel.
There will be no extension of the
Scranton Railway company lines to
- . . . . - ' ( ' .
Lake Ariel for some time at least,
according to the statements made
last week by President J. J. Sullivan,
of the American Railway company,
owners of the Scranton system.
At the suggestion of a number of
Interested parties Mr. Sullivan and
General Manager H. J. Crowley, of
the American Railway company,
went over the proposed line of road.
They went to Moosic Lake over the
traction line and then over the oth
er sections of the turnpike in auto
mobiles to Lake Ariel. The coun
try was examined closely and the
prospects of a trolley line canvassed
as the party went along. After mak
ing a trip around Lake Ariel, the
party returned to Moosic Lake and
finally went to Scranton over the
Traction line.
This seems to dispose of the propo
sition of a road to Lake Ariel, for
the present at least. The cost of
operation and the lack of patronage
is all that stands in the way, as the
management of the American Rail
ways company always go where the
traffic leads.
Some of the property owners
around Lake Ariel were in favor of
the extension of the line. Timothy
Burke and others, believe that the
growth In population that will be
stimulated by the presence of the
railway would warrant the outlay.
They feel that there are great possi
bilities in Lake Ariel and tho ad
jacent sections. Some of the officials
of the traction road were more in
favor of an extension that would
dodge Lake Ariel and take in the
towns in tho region above Moosic
Lake to make that lino operate all
year instead of only during the sum
mer. They were not In favor of de
veloping another lake resort at the
possible expense of Moosic Lake, but
did cherish the belief that there
might be enough traffic picked up
from certain towns in the neighbor
hood to make the Moosic Lake line a
better payer outside of the Summer
months.
SCHUERHOLZ, THE PITCHER.
Sherry Has Won Half His Games for
Youngstown Team.
This, from the Scranton Times,
will bo of Interest to the fans of
this place:
Fred Schuerholz, of Honesdale,
has won half of hiss camps fftr ihp.
LYoungstown team, of the Inter-State
league.. He has been, in ten contests
this season and his curve ball is
working good for him. The big fel
low, who works under the name of
Sherry, is one of- the best curve ball
pitchers in the minor leagues, and
would probably be with Providence,
of the International league, yet if he
had taken tho precaution to get into
condition in the spring of 1912,
while a hold out on the Grays. His
lack of condition when he did re
port caused him to lose games with
such regularity that he was released
and landed with Youngstown. Ho
is'back in grand condition now and
will be out of the Ohio city next sea
son. Mike O'Neill offered two play
ers for him this season, but the
Youngstown management refused.
Fred is hitting tho ball hard, besides
doing good 'mound work.
ABUSE OF PRIVILEGE GATE IS
CLOSED.
The short cut between East street
and East street extension, going
through the private property of At
torney C. A. Garratt, was closed to
the public on Friday last. What led
to the Immediate closing of the prop
erty was due to tho abuse of the
premises by young men, who have
no respect for friend or neighbor or
the privileges granted them. A
clique of boys bent on malicious mis
chief entered the yard of Mr. Gar
ratt on Wednesday evening and did
considerable damage to property.
People In going through tho yard
entered paths on either side of the
house, taking a V-shaped course.
This divided tho garden and cut up
the yard so that very little space was
left for the owner. It is too bad that
the public has to suffer owing to the
abuse of the privilege of a few row
dies. SEVEN-COUNTY CONVENTION.

the members voted down the election
of a comptroller, which under" a new
borough law Honesdale could have.

secretary of the new trolley com
pany, Charles E. Dodge.
The company has filed one bond
of $10,000 which will protect Hones
dale from any trouble during the
construction of the line through the
borough. Now that the second bond
Is filed It is a significance of true
faith that the railway company
means business.
TRAVELING SALESMAN

traveling salesman, whose home Is in
Syracuse, N. Y was found in a
precarious condition on the Dela
ware and Hudson train which ar
rived in Honesdale at 3:15 o'clock
last Friday afternoon. When the
train arrived at the station the man

of medicine Mr. Edwards took or for
what purpose. It was a close call.

SILVER SALMON.
It is stated that recently ..the Com
missioner of Fisheries ""'ordered 't
large proportion of the silver salmon
at the Bellefonto Hatchery to be
dumped into the Logan Branch Run,
a stream which has its source just
above the hatchery grounds and em
pties Into Spring Creek at Belle
fonto, which In turn empties into
Bald Eagle Creek at Milesburg and
that into the Susquehanna 'near
Lock Haven. This is the end, be
fore fruition of an Interesting and
Important experiment begun by the
former commissioner four years ago
at the suggestion of the United
States Fish Commission. A number
of years ago it was demonstrated
that if a sufficient number of eggs
could be obtained, it was possible to
establish the Atlantic Salmon in the
Delaware river. It was found, how
ever, impossible to secure any num
ber of eggs, first because tho supply
In the United States was limited and
second because the Dominion of Can
ada had a law which forbade the ex
porting of salmon eggs.
The Quinnat Salmon was then
tried, but failed to produce results,
because it was believed that the nat
ural spawning latitude of that fish
was too far north. A conference
was then held between Commissioner
Meehen and Commissioner Bowers
and Deputy Commissioner Smith of
the United States Bureau of Fisher
ies. The two later were equally In
terested with Commissioner Meehan
in tho establishment of salmon in the
Delaware. The result of the confer
ence was that the United States
agreed to forward annually for a
series of years of tho silver sal
mon, a fish which spawns about the
same latitude as the Atlantic salmon.
The first eggs were received four
years ago and Sent to tho Wayne
Hatchery at Pleasant Mount, Wayne
county. The Superintendent, Nath
an R. Duller, now Commissioner of
Fisheries, expressed much cnthusi
asm and faith in tho future of tho
fish.
Owing to the limited facilities for
rearing silver salmon at Wayne,
about eight thousand young fish
were sent to Bellefonte. These grew
wonderfully and exhibited Indica
tion of reaching maturity, which in
silver salmon Is four years In March.
About six thousand five hundred
reached the age of four years. It Is
a very curious fact that tho silver
salmon, when It reaches maturity
spawns once only, then dies. The
releasing of the fish in Logan Branch
therefor could do no permanent
good In the stream; and with their
release the chance of ascertaining
whether tho eggs taken from mature
fish in captivity was gone. They
would bo no good to the stream or to
the Susquehanna because those not
caught by anglers would die after
spawning, If they did spawn, and if
the eggs wore good and hatched they
could never reach maturity because
It has been proven that the Susque
hanna empties Into the Atlantic too
far south for the successful main
tenance of salmon. Pennsylvania
