Base Ball.
GAMES PLAYED HERE AND ELSEWHERE.
SMYRNA AT SALISBURY.

Bh RNA Al bALlSDOhIs
Last Wednesday Manager Arm
strong with our base ball club went to
Salisbury, Md, to cross bats with that
strong team. The game was an excit-
ing one and Smyrna came off victorious
with a score of 10 to g. The only way
the result of the game could reach
here was by telegraph, and there were
many enthusiasts in front of the West
ern Union Telegraph Station waiting
for the score. Our players rather
praise the treatment received at the
hands of the players, but from the
town people they were grossly insulted
and treated. 1t was all they could do
to keep out of mob. Our boys were
cursed, stoned, black guarded, hissed
at and every kind of ill.treatment i'm
aginahle. So anxious were they to get
our fellows out of the hotel, we hear,
a false alarm of fire was given, but our
boys were kindly put on to their
scheme and remained indoors. The
next morning they had hard time to
get off and mob was only prevented
by one of our party holding The crowd
at bay by pistol. They were glad to
get out of town.

CHESTER A. A. AT SMYRNA

After returning from Salisbury and
Laurel, the Smyrna base ball team
much fatigued, met the strong team of
Chester A. A, of Pennsylvania, on
their home grounds Friday, and met
another defeat. Our boys were hardly
in position to play strong game of
ball, Hess, our pitcher, had pitched
two hard games and in entering this he
felt unequal to the task and was
obliged in the 9th inning to give up to
Stevens. Hess pitched by popular
consent when he was not in condition.
A brilliant feature of the game was the
one handed stop of hard grounder by
MagUire at second and his double play
by the assistance of Cummins. Fol.

WE have on one or two occasions
noted at length the purchase Ofthe Bow
ers farm, 1874 acres, just north of Clayton
by Rev. Father j. A. De Ruyter, with
the view of making an industrial home
for cOlOred boys-tO he known as St.
Joseph's Home" The idea with this,
as with a similar home" in Whining
ton, is to gather up the homeless boys
and give them an opportunity to learn
a trade-in fact, it is branch of the
Wilmington home. Mechanics of
Smyrna, Clayton, and Wilmington find
steady employment in constructing the
large additions for chapel, workshops,
stables, etc. The two large wings
erected to the large house already on
the farm, will give it frontage of 13O
feet. An engine will be put in to run
the machinery in the different shops.
Substantial stabling is being erected,
l20 feet long, for horses and cattle. As
farming is to form an important feature
in the culture of the boys, the low
places, of which there are several in
the fields, are beirg underdrained with
Smyrna tile. To accomplish all that is
designed in thoroughly establishing
this home will require the expendi-
ture of large sum of money.
