The owners of the building have done themselves a great credit and can feel proud of their enterprise. The improvements to the building cost over $ 6,000. Eveything is of the best and modern. The painting, papering, woodwork, lighting, seats and general design is up-to-date. Every convenience has been provided. Nothing seems to have been forgotten.

Never had Berks county so many and so strong base ball clubs as this year, nearly every borough being represented on the diamond. though there was no county league, the Mohnsville Club claims to be the champion of 1899, having won 11 out of 16 games, the best record, they say, of all of them, and even better than any Reading nine, a number of which they played.
The Mohnsville was organized last spring with Irvin HARTMAN as manager; Chas. G. MOSER, captain and first baseman; George EPLER, catcher; William GLICK, pitcher; William White, first base; Penrose RICHWINE, second base; Harry MOSER, short stop; William FLEISCHER, third base; Harry GODSCHALK, left field; Charles MOHN centre field; John PAWLING, right field, and there were no changes during the season, with the exception of manager, Walter WERNER succeeding Mr. HARTMAN. The players are all between 19 and 21 years of age, and all but two or three work in hat factories in Mohnsville.
Their wins and defeats during '99 follow: Won one from Adamstown on home ground; won and lost with Sinking Spring on their respective grounds; won tow and lost one with Legal Tenders of Reading, on home grounds; lost one to St. Lawrence, on home grounds; won tow from Bowmansville on their respective grounds; won on from Shillington on home grounds; lost one to Red Rose of Reading, on home grounds; won one from Red Stockings, of Reading on home grounds; won one from Millmont on home grounds; won one from Oakdales, of Reading, on home grounds. The season closed with a game with the Legal Tenders which was lost. Their biggest victory was against Millmont, which was downed 22 to 5. Their closest contests were 8 to 7 and 10 to 9.
The club grounds are back of the race course at Shillington. they are level and grassy and provided with regulation base bags and stone plate. They are properly laid out. The players wear a gray uniform with "M" on breast, "Chicago" caps with maroon stripes, maroon belts and maroon stockings.
George HORNBERGER is the official scorer, and Wellington WHITE and James EPLER the substitute outfielders. Their playing and batting were on the whole crditable. The club will be re-organized next spring with practically the same men, and with their expreisnce in playing together, they expect to do much better and if a county league is formed, as has been suggested, will try to win the pennant.
