Fourth Claims Many Victims

Seventy-two dead and ago injured
are the second day totals OF the acci-
dents attending the celebration OF the
Fourth OF July in the United States.
This breaks all records since 1899.
The number OF deaths this year re-
ported is thirteen more than at the
same time last year. In 1905 iiity-nine
were dead at this time. The number
81 injured, however, is only two-thirds
oi the average for the last five years.
This is regarded as an indication that
the agitation for sane Fourth is hav-
ing its effect
Chicago leads the list OF deaths,
Cleveland with ten deaths is in second
place In the death lists OF various
cities are counted those caused by pre-
mature celebrations and casualties in
fireworks stores previous TO the Fourth.

is the first game OF the season with a
team from this county, and II showed
what the Elkton rooters have always

county is practically certain TO be ours
this year.
On the home team there were a
number oi local boys who have not had

all they need is an opportunity TO make
good. both in the field and at bat. The
fielding OF both teams was very ragged
