Her Base Ball Players Get Move on
Them and Defeat Greencastle BY
Score of ~ to 3.


Last week we gave our base ball
boys n little friendly advice, which
they construed into hostility, aud
consequently have been jumping
onto" us ever since. We see, how
ever, Notwithstanding their unfriend.
illness toward us (the local editor)
that our little lecture did some, and
great deal of good. On Tuesday
they played ball, and there wasn't a
wrangle to discourage single play
er. On the part of Martinsburg the
game was excellently played, but for
Greencastle poor support was given
Pittinger in the box, and their play
ers reminded US of the way our boys
used to play. The game was full OF
interesting plays for the home team
but bad ones for the visitors.
Young went to the bat first, and
for a wonder, struck out, but wasn't
fooled again in the game. thinner
man flied out, but the very next time
at bat covered himself with glory by
batting out home run over the out
field fence. Behind the bat lie was
there every time, not having passed
ball. Bradley found the ball every
time, and made more than his share
of the scores. Ritchie's game at
third was well played. In the box
he has a pretty delivery, and al
though Greencastle found the ball,
failed to make clean hits enough to
count anything. 1t was in the end
ing of the fifth that Greencastle scor'
ed two runs; one being scored on
account of Bradley's bad arm, for
which he is excusable, and the other
on the unfortunate combination En-
ror of Richie, Young, Horner and
Bradley. We can blame none of
them, because it was one of those
plays that will occur with the best
of players. Creque was Creque
again; fielding well, batting hard
and excellent at coaching. Lamon
had several chances in fielding and
embraced them all at the bat his
smuggling was phenomenal. Horner
at first made brilliant stops, and as
batter hit the ball more than ever.
Rider was in excellent shape and
pitched good ball. His left hand
twirls were deceptive and strike outs
were frequent. Slinkman is one of
the best base runners we have. Hav-
ing improved greatly in batting, he
makes bases; and when once to bases
he seldom fails to cross the plate.
We have not space to particularize,
but have none but warmest praise for
the home clubs work. The brilliant
plays were confined to no one player
but were made by Zimmerman,
Young, Rider, Horner, Bradley, La
mon, Slinkman Creque and Richie.
Can we say more !? Now, s,while
you are angry with us, we must say
you know how to play good ball and
have redeemed yourselves. Keep it
up, and success will crown your eff
forts. We are with you, will try to
make you win, and believe you will
do so. The following is the score

ago. Some months ago Mr.. Fen
ner, an old citizen of this county, ar
rived here. He had not been home
for 35 years and no one knew him.
He walked over to the Grove to one
of the springs to get a drink no
glass, no cup, no dipper was there.
He got his drink and walked back to
the nearest bar, there he said IS
years ago if you wanted a drink you
had to lie down for it, and you had
to do the same to-day.

there was a cry of Whats the matter with the Defender?'' This query was fol- lowed by a roar of "She's all right Three cheers for Defenderl' And the waters of Quarantine echoed with three ringing cheers and rousing tiger
 The cheering had hardly died away when the weather sharp on the Quaran- tine hill, armed with a powerful night glass, informed the anxious throng that he could see yacht looking like Valkyrie coming in toward the Narrows in tow of tug.
 At last the Valkyrie, in tow and fol- lowed by two other tugs, slowly passed Quarantine and was boarded by the health officer. The cup challenger looked trim and neat in the glimmering light. Her sails were snugly slowed, and on her decks were apparently all the members of her crew. Hearty cheers of welcome were ex- changed with the English sailors, and then, the usual formalities having been complied with, Valkyrie continued her journey up the bay.
 Valkyrie looks a monster. When you step on board of her you can almost fancy yourself on an ocean steamer. Her beam Is simply immense and she shows tre- mendous length. Her bowsprit for her ketch rig is very short, and her masts are splendid sticks. In a word, she may be la- beled dangerous.
 Valkyrie anchored of Liberty island for the night and was taken to the Erie basin this morning.

Paper Money and pise.se.

There is no place in the world where more dirty paper money Is handled from day to day than in the national bank redemption division of the treas ury department There are in existence some 8, 500 national banks, each of which has outstanding bank notes rang ing in amount from $10, 900 or $12, 1000 up to nearly $500, 900. Every dollar of these notes passes through the hands of the men and women employed in the national bank redemption division. This office has been in existence now for about 30 years. There are employed in the division somewhere about 30 girls and women. They handle untold millions of bills in the course of year, and if there was any danger from contagious and infectious diseases in old bank notes it would seem as though this would be the place to find symp- toms.
 Yet MT. Rogers, who has been chief of the division for ten years, and who has been connected with it since it was organized, assured the correspondent that there has never been case of in- fectious or contagious disease contracted by one of the employees of his office. Every one of them handles the bills sent in for redemption. They are counted and sorted time after time. They are the dirtiest specimens of money to be found in the country. y.-Rochester Post Exnress
