THE PATTON COURIER. VOL. XIL.—NO. 39. PATTON, CAMBRIA CO. PA,, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1905. \ 1.00 PER YEAR INDEPEND ENT NOT NEUTRAL RUN BY THE PUBLISHER IRE TAKING ALMOST ALL! Patton Base Ball Team Has Winning Streak. PUNX'Y WAS SHUT OUT. | Osceola Lost Two Games and Philipsburg One to the Locals—Toss of Penny Respon- sible for Only Defeat the Past Week—Ex- citing Fitteen 1nning Contest, Patton base ball club shut out the strong Punxsutawney nine on Satur- day at Athletic Park. The score w 5 to 0, while the other shut out was ac- complished to the tune of 8 to 0. On the previous day,Punx’y literally |} and figuratively won the game by a toss of a penny. a wild throw to third let for the visitors. The ball was thrown into the diamond by a fielder and de- | liberately stopped by the umpire with | his hands, the latter being under the | impression that there was no one on a base. The umpire did not pick up the » Te Tt 3 ball with his hands, A runner on third \ came home and scored while the ball ; was at the umpire’s feet. The pitcher was backing up a base at the time. The umpire refused to render a decision. | Base ball authorities everywhere are unanimous in the opinion that the run- ner should have gone back to third base, but Captain “Kid”? Williams could not see it in that light and the Patton boys magnanimously and foolishly con~ | sented to “pitch pennies’ to settle the matter. Of course, Punxsutawney’s proverbial good luck prevailed and the score counted. The visitors we whitewashed every other inning, while Patton made a run in the seventh and | one in the ninth, losing the contest on | the toss of a penny.
