Lewistown Easy This Time.

Thurmont 9, Lewistown O. That's the
score of last Saturdays game. Reed,
Thurmont's slab artist was on the rubber
for the home team and had Lewistown's
heavy batters completely at his mercy
throughout the game, only two of them
being able to get beyond sack No. 2, and
II famed the wind.
The infield lineup was invincible, very
few batted balls getting beyond the base
lines. The outfield mapped throughout
the entire performance and had to be
awakened when called to bat by official
scorer Wi,hide.
Everything went off smoothly with the
exception of few scraps which always
attend baseball game.
The writer cannot understand why it is
that our team has heretofore always fall
en- so easy victim to Lewistown. 1t
looks as though there has been lack Of
judgement in the proper selection and
placing of the players in the lineup.
This game was gotten up as draw
card for Saturdays picnic and the club
managers turned over to Park W. I. 10y.
chairman of the picnic committee, the
entire arrangement of the game. The
result speaks for his excellent judgement.
This game it was understood in advance
of its booking was not to count for or
against our team in it's series of games
with Lewistown. Well, if only it had
counted.
And now we regret that some are re-
ported as being dissatisfied with the re-
suit baseball officials at that and would
rather have seen Lewistown victorious.
Why il this? 1t can be nothing but jeal-
ousy. feeling which must be eliminated
if we hope to see Thurmont have good
baseball team in the future. That we
have the material goes without question,
but it must be handled properly. There
must be cooperation and not discord or
jealousy. BASEBALL ENTHUSIAST.

COMMUNICATED

In the baseball game between Lewis
town and Thurmont at the Picnic Grove
on Saturday, the Thurmont team defeat
ed the visitors by a score of 9 to O.
Reed, Thurmont's star pitcher was in
the box and pitched the game of his life,
only two of the opponents runners get
ting beyond second base and in each case
with on!,' one man out, they were held
there and prevented from scoring by
Reeds excellent work and by Rouzer's
brilliant stop of wildly pitched ball.
The infeld was undoubtedly the strong
est of the season and as for the outfield,
it really made but little difference as only
two batted balls went beyond the base
lines.
Four of Thurmont's runs were scored
in the fourth inning, one in the seventh
and four in the eighth. Reed at all times
had the Lewistown batters at his mercy,
giving only one base on balls and struck
out II men.
DR.. Seton, manager Of the Thurmont
team, placed the arrangement of the
game in the hands of the chairman of the
picnic committee and Mr.. Birely, captain
of the team also requested the chairman
to make the lineup.
There was a decided disposition on the
part of one or two persons to prevent
Thurmont having a strong lineup and to
interfere generally with the arrange
ments, the most underhand means being
used towards this end, but by careful in
vestigation. the plot was discovered and
an understanding between the players
reached. The result speaks for itself.
These same persons being defeated in
their undetermined attempts, show very
poor spirit by being dissatisfied with the
result of the game, wishing that Lewis
town would have won and declare that
though the lineup was good one, the
credit does not belong to the person who
made it.
To these disappointed persons, let it be
said that the man who made the lineup
does not claim the credit of the victory.
To Reed first of all is due all the praise
and after him comes all the players of
Thurmont's excellent team which so no.
bly, landed this, the most decided victory
of the season. CHAIRMAN.

ThurmOnt, 8; LeWlstOWn, U.
The game of ball played in the field
adjoining the Picnic grounds Saturday
was witnessed by large crowd among
which were those who never saw game.
Among the baseball enthusiasts before
the game the question Of who would win
was very hard to decide, Lewistown hav-
ing defeated and been defeated by Thur
mont.
In the start it looked as though neither
side was to score, but in the fourth inning
Thurmont got start and four runs were
made. At this point dispute arose over
several decisions made by umpire Cover
and it seemed as though the game would
end, but after much arguing Cover was
removed and DR.. E. B. Seton put in his
place. Reed was in prime condition and
played beautiful game, and the game
closed 9 to 0 in favor of Thurmont.
Score:
Thurmont. .........0 04O 4x-9
Lewistown. ........0 100 % 90 900
Batteries: Reed and Rouzer; Shaffer

The HG6ue Conference,


The Hague peace conference met last Saturday
to discuss proposals leading to universal disarma-
ment. Altho these conferences have done much
toward making peace desirable and causing the
dtions of war to be less horrible than in the past
many conferences will have to be held before dis
armament will be seriously considered. Only recent
ly we have read statement to the effect that since
the first peace conference held in 1899 over five
hundred million dollars was spent for increased
ornaments.
In connection with this it is interesting to note
the feverish anxiety England, the United States,
Germany, and even Japan are displaying toward in
creasing their naves Bigger ships increased speed
and more destructive guns is what they demand
ing and putting into service. This does not look
like peace that they preparing for disarma
ment. A noted divine stated recently that the ma
tons of the world could no more dispense with their
navies than could large city do without it's police
department. This is the general belief held by men
who have made exhaustive study of this subject.
It must be admitted, however, that if we had no
navies armed forces the possibility of would
be more remote than it is today. This proposition
is too new to demand much attention at present It
must be agtated and discussed for years before any,
thing of concrete nature can be expected. When
it's good features become thoroughly understood
thruout the world then may hope for something
approximating universal peace
