A SIGNAL VICTORY FOR BEL AIR

The Bel Air Base Ball team accompan-
led by about rs rooterS journeycd to
| Clifton Park, Baltimore, last Saturday
and there took the scalps of the strong
Clifton Athletic Club by score of > to 0.
The Clifton club is one of the strongest
teams in the State and is at present CON
tending with the Maryland Athletic Club
for the championship of the State. Sat
urday is the first time that it was ever
shut out, and for Bowling and the rest OF
the team to accomplish this so handily,
places the Bel Airs on a par with the NJ.
A. {, thus making the matter 0fsupIcma-
cy for the State championship between
these two clubs a very debatablc qucs-
ton.
The boys started in the first inning
as though they meant business. Harlan
lined out hot one To shortstop and was
safe on an error of the first bascman, Il
moment later, however, he was forced
ut second by A. ReckOrd. Sclvagc got n
liit and Bowling followed with an cx-
cellent.single scoring a. Rockford. Sewage
tried to steal home but was caught at
the plate. II. Reckord then raped out
single scoring Bowling from second. In
the second inning, Eddie Carroll lined out
a pretty two Dagger, the only one in the
game, but got no further as the next men
were easy outs. In the third both A.
Rcckord and Sewage led of with singles,
Bowling was an easy out. II. Reckord
forced his brother at third. At this
point Sewage and Reckord worked a
double steal and with two out J. Carroll
placed nice single in right field scoring
Sewage and Reckord. The boys went
out in one, two, three order in the fourth
but in the fifth A. Reckord was given Il
lift by forcing Harlan, Sewage drew
base on balls, Bowling flied out to third. |
II. Rockford made single over short
driving the fifth and last run of the game
across the plate.
At only one stage of the game did the
Clifton's have the least chance of scoring,
but Eddie Carroll made beauty stop at
third and Bowling struck the next two
men out, killing all their hopes. Bowling
pitched IA magnificent game, allowing
only four hits and striking out eleven
men. The entire team supported him
like professionals. getting everything
that came their way. Hanway, ]. Car
roll and Earring were under every fly that
WAS knocked. II. Rockford and Eddie
Carroll led at the bat, in fact every man
On the team got at least one hit, for a
total of 10 bases. Erdman and Milliman

HOLD.UPS ON HARTFORD ROAD.

Two 'hold-ups occurred on the Hartford
road near Hamilton on Saturday night,
which should serve as a warning to our
many residents who haul their products
to the Baltimore market. The crimes were
committed by apparently the same crowd
who must have been novices. The first
victim was Mr.. William Coulter, who re-
sides on the Hartford road, just beyond
the second tollgate. lie was shot four
times and will probably die. The second
victim was Mrs. Wilhelmina Ncubauer,
who lives near Parkvillc. She was pain
fully but not seriously injured. Both
hold-ups occurred within short distance
and in each case money was demanded
but on the show of resistance, revolvers
were used without hesitation.
Efforts are being made to locate the
guilty parties, but it is doubtful if they
can be identified, owing to the fact that
the night was dark and the faces of the
thugs were not easy recognizable.
On Tuesday, Detectives Hogan and
Daughcrty arrested man who gave the
name of Richard Houscr. The prisoner
had several scars on the left side of his
face which made the detectives think
were the marks of Mr.. Coulter's whip,
when he struck one of the highwaymcn.
Houser denied all knowledge Of the crime
but it is said afterwards gaze information
which led to the arrest of two other men
at Fallstun, at late hour on Tuesday
night, at the residence of Mr. Nathan E.
Scarborough, who lives on the James
Robinson farm. Three men came to Mr..
Scarborough's residence on Monday
morning and were hired to cut corn.
One of them was not satisfactory and
was discharged Monday night after being
paid off This is supposed to have been
Houscr who was picked up by the de,
tectives as before stated. The men were
taken to Baltimore and locked up pend.
ing an investigation.
The men were subjected to a severe cx-
animation by the detectives and States
Attorney Grason, and it is said that the
police are not by any means sure that
any of them are connected with the crime
The suspects appear to be simply rovers
who have no permanent home. In winter
they earn living by dredging and il
summer they work on the farms.
The police will not divulgc their plans
nor state publicly what their beliefs ar,
in the matter, but it is thought that they
have taken entirely another theory, ant
that robbery was not the motive. 1t i:
urged that the demands for money ant
the attacks were made almost simultar
eously, without giving either ofthe victims
an opportunity to comply with the re
quests made by the robbers. 1t nov
seems that the authorities are as much Il
sea as ever.

GOOD ROADS.

Professor X. W. Sylvester, President of
the Maryland Agricultur College, at
tended n recent meeting ut the Cecil
Farmers Club and delivered an address
on good roads. lie said:
at is not too much to say that i'll the
item of moving crops 30 per cent. is not
too great an estimate of the loss incident
to wear and tear of conveyance, injury to
draft animals and loss in power to draw
the produce off the farm to the shipping
point, he argued. ut is impossible to
have centralized public schools, with their
attendant blessings. so long as ourroads
are in the usual condition we find them
for five months of the school year. Evil
dence of the greatest interest in this
matter is now spreading over the State
of Maryland, and many suggestions have
been made as to the best plans of laying
the foundation for their attainment. 1t
is believed by many that the means arc
at hand in raising revenue for this pur'
pose by leasing the barren bottoms of the
Chesapeake Bay for oyster culture.
"Why should the farmers neglect this
opportunity for revenue and comfort
