MARTINsBURG AT HAGERsTowN.-
The home club went to Hagerstown
and played game of ball there on
Decoration Day. The Haserstowners
won by score of II to 2. Our boys
were guilty of numerous errors at
critical points in the game, and con-
sequently lost. The outfield, how
ever, played an errorless game, and
winning ball is what they continually
played. We have no criticism TO Of
fer, except to say that after a few
more practice games we do not fear
for the future of our club. They
know how to play, but a little ex-
perience will give them cooler heads
aud we will yet show Hagerstown a

WILD RACE FOR FARMS.
scenes at the opening of government
lands in the West are disgraceful to
a civilized nation. The wild rush
of settlers, both bona fide and those
who wish to speculate, the disorder
and bloodshed, when the hour arrives
for reservations to be declared open,
ought to be avoided. The govern
ment should adopt measures for the
peaceful settlement of the land it has
to open. instead of encouraging or
permitting mad race of three or
four times as many people as there
are sites, with the inevitable result
of disappointment and quarrels and
murders.
