Baseball. 



The opening game of what promises 

 to 1)1 ;i brilliant baseball season was 

 played at Belmont Thursday afternoon, 

 .lune -iK The contest, liayersdorfer vs. 

 Hice. was an exhibition, not a champion- 

 diip, g.ame. The rivalry was keen and 

 there was a gooil attendance. The Bay- 

 crsdiirfers, who looked widl in their new 

 suits, won after an interesting battle 

 by a s -ore of 8 to li. M(dd)y Slioidi was 

 injured in the secoiwl inning; Raymond 

 lirunswick repl.aceil him. 



A Beal Live Story. 



The telephone bell rang. It was a 

 long-distance call from Brown Mills, 

 in the pines, away down in the heart 

 if South Jersey, for William Keller, 

 in N'orristown, Pa. Could Mr. Keller 

 come down to Brown Mills the next 

 .lay, Friday? Mr. Kidler said he ha<l 

 an engagement Friday; he could come 

 on Mon(iay. No, Monday would not 

 do. Why not Friday.' Pots were want- 

 ed. So Mr. Keller decided he must ar- 

 range to go. .Mdi'd by his trusty 

 Henry, Mr. Keller covered fifty-two 

 ;ind six-sevenths miles early the next 

 Miorning. On his |H(imiscs that they 

 would be shipjied the fidlowing Monday, 

 he received an order for .')(l,(i()() flower 

 pots, 4.'),0()0 ;!-inch and •'>,<i<lO .")-iiich, 

 line carload in all. The jiots wert> 

 >lii])ped on time. They arc now being 

 used for growing bhudicrries in frames 

 outdoors. This is how it occurred.
