Five Out OF Nine.

Last Friday the Martinsburg baseball
team made record for itself by winning
the fifth game out OF nine played this
season.
Its opponent was the Berkeley Springs
team. The game was without any special
features. The Martinsburg team fairly
ontelassed the Berkeley Springs team in
playing and they almost had walkover.
The home iieldcrs had little work 10 do,
not fly ball being knocked into the field.
The Berkeley Springs team wouldn't
have scored at all had It not been for a
wild throw OF Mowcns in the seventh in
ming. which let in one run and advanced
another runner to third, who succeeded
in reaching home. The visitors couldn't
hit Young and they scarcely knocked a
ball out Of the diamond.
During the game on Friday some
rowdyism was displayed. which elected
many expressions Of disgust from the
mass Of spectators. At one time one Of

six trees of the class from which the

on the head of the islander and his last
hours were tortured by the unfeeling
bitterness of his prosecutors. But at

posed route, especially those living along
the Winchester pike, have been sending
in numerous petitions 70 Postmaster
Clohan, Of late. for the establishment 81
route in that direction, and he has re-
quested the Post Office Department that
one be established.
The request has been fayorably re-
ported upon, and Rural Route, NO. 4,
will in all probability be established. The
other three routes about cover. in a gen.
erai way. the other sections of the county,
and when Rural Route, No. 4. IS estab-
lished, all the principal roads in the county
will be traversed by rural route carriers.
The carrier on Rural Route No. 4 will
20 out the Winchester Pike to the road
this side Of Darkesville. He viii then turn
to the left and 90 as far as the New
Haven School House. He will then
travel northward until he reaches the
residence Of MIR. f. ID. Rauch. He vii
thence go eastward and cross the Ope-
quon and take in several residences or
the other side Of the creek and will either
return to town through Vanclevesville Oh
recross the Opequon at the same place
and return by the road past Sutton
School House, most likely the latter way
The new route will be great conven
