NO BASS FOR ANGLERS
LAW WILL PERMIT, BUT RIVER
Is TOO MUDDY.

Bass fishermen in large numbers usually
turn out Decoration day to try their luck.
1t is probable. however. there will be
nothing but disappointment to be gained
by going on the river next Saturday.
The condition of the Shenandoah and
Potomac rivers at Harpers Ferry last
night was such as to indicate that many
days must pass before there will be clear
say. there will be no clear water in time
for them to enjoy sport next Saturday.

Sunday School League Notes.

The Sunday School Base Ball League
season is well on and the Grace Baptists
have a comfortable lead over all of their
rivals, but it would not be surprising to
see some of the other teams cut this
lead down in week or two.
From now on the teams will settle
down for the grueling race for cnam-
pionship honors and the followers OF the
league are promised some very fast ex-
hibltions Several of the managers have
strengthened their respective teams since
the opening of the season, which Will
tend to make the race all the closer.
Mcmahon showed great form in his
game against the heavy-hitting Ninth
bunch, and will be worked by Capt
Turner regularly. He let them down With
five scattered hits, famed eight and
passed two
Vogelsberger has good arm in throw

cd on him last Monday.

Carpenter will have about the strongest
pitching staff in the league.
Frank Bolts was recently signed by
Manager Stokes of the Bethany aggrega-
ton. and will soon be seen wearing one
of the clubs uniforms. If Frankie
puts up the article of ball that he is
capable of. he will be of great help TO
the team.
Pop" kerper caught fine game last
week and lie was right there with the
willow. Three singles out of five times
up is not so bad for an old gent.
A play which is seldom witnessed was
pulled off in the Ninth Rethany game
Thursday. Todd popped A fly to short

for it. Clark caught the ball but drop

either side having much the advantage,

in nearly every attempt. In the sixth
the Money Counters got four runners
across the plate. but still the losers had
hopes. The best they could do was to
get one over the pan in the seventh, and
in this round the Treasury lads also
counted one.
