Monarchs Fall On Muddy Field In Four To Two Loss
Mellinger struck out fourteen and drove in the tying run as the host team edged the Lancaster Monarchs 4 to 2 on a treacherous field. Rube Butter's Jewels matched hits with the visitors, with timely hitting and sharp defense keeping the game tight. Mellinger endured early trouble but settled in to key two late rallies, while Roy, Spickler, and Meily contributed, as a large crowd looked ahead to next weekend’s matchups against Black Front of Lancaster and Reading’s P R YMCA squad.

Memorial Day Reflections and Graduation Wit
A fragment from a 19th or early 20th century page recalls Memorial Day songs and the fallen, then pivots to light verse and civic humor. It notes graduation timing, the dull ache of farewell, and social maxims while touching on war memories, holidays, and the nation’s mood. The piece blends solemn remembrance with a stream of quips and reflections on school, work, and society.
