FREELAND TRIBUNE. VOL. Vlir. NO. 25, "CHAMPIONS" DEFEATED. STATE LEAGUE PENNANT WINNERS TROUNCED BY WILKESBARRE. Hazleton Learns Wltli Much Emphasis That There Are Others Who Can Flay Hall—The State Leaguers Show Their lVeiik Points In a Fair Came. With blowing of horns, waving of coats and hats, and with other charac teristics too numerous to mention, the largest and most enthusiastic crowd of base ball rooters ever assembled in the history of Freeland gathered at the park yesterday afternoon to see the Wilkesbarre Eastern league team out class the pennant winners of the State league from Hazleton. The local root ers had been waiting anxiously for a month to see this game, and were on hand early to capture the advantageous positions of view, while the excursion ists from Wilkesbarre and the enormous crowds which came in on the electric cars began filling up the ground as early as 2 o'clock. When the excursion train came in at 1 o'clock it was a signal for a stampede in town, and every place where a hot frankfurtor a meal could be purchased was deluged with hungry people who bustled and surged as only base ball cranks can. Hye and bye, when they had bought everything eatable in sight, they began filing towards the park. For an hour Centre street was a moving mass uf humanity, and every trolley car in either direction carried hundreds of people to the park gates. The Wilkesbarre players were the first to arrive on the grounds and were received with applause by their ad mirers, among whom were noticed a considerable number of Freeland people. The Hazleton men came in shortly afterwards byway of the Washington street entrance. Little interest was taken in the preliminary practice of either club, hut as soon as Umpire Shov lin put in an appearance the crowd be gan to put its elbows on its knees and the score cards over its eyes to prepare for battle. Umpire Shovlin called the game at. 3.15, and proceeded to ofliciato on balls and strikes, while Umpire Swartwood, of the Eastern league, officiated on the bases. Hazleton was first, at hat, and the game started amid much excitement on the part of the Hazleton and South Side attendants. Moran was the first batter and got to first on halls, but was caught nicely by Diggins in an attempt to steal second. Hazleton did notscorc in the first inning, while Wilkesbarre made two on two hits and three buses on balls. Hazleton tied the score in the second on Fuller's short hit, (iraham's base on balls and Jordan's long three-bagger :> left centre. This hit of Jordan's aroused the Hazleton contingent in the audience to the high est pitch of excitement, and they seemed to agree with him in wanting everything he asked for during the remainder of the game. Hazleton was blanked in the third and fourth, while Wilkesbarre made two in the third on hits by Freeman, Wente and Smith and an error by Schaub. In llazleton's half of the fifth they scored three, on three hits and a base on balls and a costly error by MeMahon, who failed to do his part in making a double play on Schaub's grounder to Homier. In Wilkesbarre's half of the fifth they got a bat around, but not without considerable kicking by Jordon. whose head by this time had assumed an abnomal size by the flattery of his admirers. After three men had scored Jordan began to kick against Umpire Shovlin's decision on balls, and because he could not turn the latter from giving justice, he threw down the ball, folded his arms and attempted to walk off the diamond. The Hazleton players crowded around the umpire and pleaded to let Jordan have what he wanted, just because he was not in the habit of kicking, not withstanding the fact that in playing this childish act he was obeying direct orders from those in charge of the club, and was severely reprimanded because he did not do it earlier in the game. The ridiculous plea of the Hazleton players was taken up by their rooters, who scorned to think that every ball Jordan pitched should he a strike, no matter where it went. However, it did not prove to he so, and when the State leaguers realized that Shovlin knew as much about base ball as any of thorn I and could not be bluffed, they sneaked back into the game, and the Eastern league men started to do tlyun in royal style. Four runs were scored in this inning and another in the seventh. Hazleton was bluuked successively in the sixth, seventh and eighth, Coakley allowing only ten men to go to hat in the three innings. Jordan raised another kick in tho latter part of the game on a flimsy pre text. hut outside of this the game was not marred by any disturbing influence. On the whole it was one of the best games seen here this season, and the immense crowd, which made every good play doubly interesting by its coaching, remained on the ground until the last man was put out. Tho ofliclal score of the game is as follows: HAZLETON. WILKES It AIUIE. H. 11.0. A. K. K. H.O.A. E.

In a letter to a friend in Lehighton Hugh Jennings, the great shortstop of the Haiti more club, says that he would like to get away from Haiti more and play.with Philadelphia next year. His main reason for desiring the change is that he would then be able to occasion ally visit his home and his friends. While it is not likely that Manager I lan lon will permit Jennings to leave Haiti more, the Phillies might do well to at least make an effort to secure him. With Jennings at short the force of rooters for the Philadelphia club would be vastly augmented, particularly in this region. The first game of the Ilazleton-Wilkes barre series was played in the former city on Friday. The scorn was otoo in favor of Hazleton. The result of the second game, played at the same place on Saturday was: Wilkesbarre, 0; Haz leton, 1. Two games will he played at Wilkesbarre today and tomorrow. Hazleton people made themselves the laughing stock of Luzerne county yes terday by performing the "baby act" when they saw defeat was sure, and no one is more to blame for this than Man ager Sharslg, who insists on his club playing the game as it was played in '(59. Frank Kelly, who lias been acting as treasurer of the Wilkesbarre ball club, ha* absconded, and his books show a deficit of nearly 81,000, 8173 of which belongs to the hall players themselves, being the reoeiptsof an exhibition game. There were 2,003 paid admissions to the park yesterday, and the Tigers, who had charge of the game, handled the crowd in admirable style. The Travelers won yesterday morn ing from the Hazleton Athletics, 13 to 0. Insurance Money I'aiil. The insurance companies in which J. C. Burner's building is insured have made a satisfactory settlement with him for the damage done by the recent fire at his store. Tho companies are repre sented by Mrs. S. E. Hayes, and Mr. Burner states that he, is highly pleased at the promptness displayed in paying the claims. The district agent, Mr. Theiss, of Wilkesbarre, was well satis fied with the work performed at the fire by the hose company. He stated that few buildings escape total destruc tion when a lire originates near a kero sene tank or an elevator shaft. In Mr. Horner's case both of these had to be. contended with, and for that reason the quenching of the fire so quickly was re garded by him as excellent work. This is not the first instance in which Free land's firemen have been praised by in surance agents for their efficiency. Kittle Klioailei* (ioue. The last three nights of Kittle Rhoades* appearance here were as successful as the three first. The com pany is somewhat new yet in some of the pieces, but the players manage to render their parts satisfactory. In (J. 11. Abbott, however. Miss Rhoades lias a manager who will strand tho com pany before long unless lie adopts more business-like methods in his dealings with the public. It is alleged that one i publisher here found it no easy matter to collect a small bill for special adver tising. Abbott's ways are exactly like those of the typical fakir. Tho com pany left today for Chester, where they open for a week tonight. Fire at Highland Breaker. Fire was discovered at No. 1 breaker, Highland, about 9 o'clock on Saturday morning by John Mcllugli, the Lehigh Valley operator at the Junction, who immediately gave the alarm and got assistance. Several buckets of water put the fire out. When discovered it was making rapid strides to reach the upper part of tin; structure. It is not known how it originated hut is supposed to have caught from sparks thrown by a passing locomotive. When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria. When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria.

Exercise** at. tli Coxe Memorial School on Saturday Afternoon. The Coxe Memorial School was dedi cated on Saturday afternoon. The exercises consisted of a parade which was led by the Sandy Rim band, follow ed by Maj. C. R. Coxe Post, No. 147. 14. A. R., the members of tin? school board, burgess and town council in carriages, Jr. O. U. A. M. drum corps, Drifton drum corps, and the children of the dilTerent schools of the borough. After marching over the principal streets, the parade finished at the new school build ing. The children sang "America,'* after which President 1). J. McCarthy introduced Hon. Charles E. Rice, presi dent judge of the superior court ol Pennsylvania, who spoke for over on' hour. He reviewed the history of the school system in this state from its early stages, also the duties of the citizens of tin state to pay their proportionate share os taxes towards the support of the com mon schools, whether that citizen he tin owner of real estate or not, or whcthci he have children attending school or not. It is his plain duty under the law to pay these taxes, not for the good the education of children will do him. but for the good it will do to the whole com munity. He also gave statistics cover ing the amount of money paid in the state by individuals, and by the state for school purposes. He paid a glowing tribute to the late Hon. Eckley H. Coxe, and hoped that the school about to he dedicated would be productive of good results. County Superintendent Harrison was next introduced and snoke upon the | subject of education. lie dwelt chiefly upon the duty of parents to their child ren. and said no matter how good the schools or the teachers, or the interest taken in them by the directors, the par ents should exercise a care over the children and stimulate them to study. He spoke of the broadening effect of learning upon the minds of the people, and illustrated how the. influence of edu cation dispels tin* narrow scope in which man is liable to confine himself. doing back to the days of the Pilgrim Fathers and the colonists, tho superin tendent calmly reviewed the intolerant spirit which tho various factions of early settlers exhibited toward one an other. solely because of their narrow views upon matters in general, and how this feeling was increasing until the Catholic founder of Maryland, Lord Ihiltimore, shamed religious persecutors of all classes into silence hv having the toleration act passed in that state, giv ing every person in that colony the lib-I orty to worship dod as they pleased. This was the beginning of genuine lib erty in America, and the magnanimous ! spirit of Lord Haltimore is abroad in i the land today and will last while the republic lives, despite the occasional at tempts that are made to proscribe cer tain people in a land where all are oqual. He expressed a wish that in his visits to Freeland during the ensuing term that lie may lie able to note good results in our schools, lie extended an invita tion to parents to visit the scliool rooms as often as convenient and see how the little ones are cared for. Eckley 15. Coxe, Jr., of Drifton, was introduced and unveiled the memorial slab, which bears the inscription: "Eck ley 15. Coxe Memorial Public School. 1895." Edmund Coxe was next introduced and said that some time ago the late lamented Daniel Coxe told liiin that lie would present a flag to this school and requested him to do tho unfurling of the same, so today, in response to that request, lie would now unfurl this flag, which act completed the exercises.
