BASE BALL

The regular team had NO game
scheduled for last week SO the dupont
Juniors came down to play off their
tie with the Elkton second team. As
these two teams had played a o to o
game for five innings two weeks be-
fore, quite lot OF interest was taken
in the game Oglc was not so effec-
tive this time as in the last game, and
the Powder Monkeys landed nine
safe hits He also had number of
errors back OF him, which allowed in
all five runs Burke, OF DUPONT, kept
the hits we'll scattered and his team
played pretty ball. handling some hot
ones in the outtield Neat fielding by
the visitors and Elkton's stupid base
running nearly whitewashed the home
team, but Scott managed to cross the
plate in the ninth. preventing a shut
out.
There is some good base ball ma
terial among the younger players in
Elkton. and ii we expect to have a
team in the future it will be we'll to
patronize their games. and give them
all the encouragement possible
Score by innings:

Port Deposit had an easy time de-
icating the Severn \. c. on Saturday,

Ewing, while Williams held his op-
ponents down to three safetieS. For
Port Deposit Buck made four hits and
Smith felded brilliantly in right field.
The National A c. will play at Port
Deposit next Saturday.
To-day Elkton plays the Baltimore

shaken off their slump we ought to
have a hot game OF ball

Ii the average voter wants to know
how little the average political leader
cares for anything but his own amb-

party loyalty or party regularity
simply as a means OF holding the rank

vancement, if the voter wants to get
a world OF light on these things, just
let him follow the manouverings OF
the Democratic leaders on the eve OF
the late State Convention. All the
trouble i'll securing a gubernatOrlal
nominee came from the clashing inter
ests of the Senatorial aspirants. 1t
