W. Iose To soonsboro

We LUoC ~ DSVhSOOAO-
The proyerbial bad luck attached
to number thirteen holds good in
baseball as in other things. After
winning thirteen games from the best
amateur teams in this section of Mary
land, Virginia and West Virginia, we
we lost quite an exciting eleven-lnning
game to Boonsboro last Saturday by
the score of 6 to 4. The local rooters
were very much surprised that we
should lose to team of Boonsboro's
standing and can't understand Just
how it happened. The truth of the
matter is that we underestimated the
strength of their team and started In
to the game with an irregular lineup,
thinking we had an easy victim, but
they proved to be one of the strong
est amateur teams We have yet played.
They brought with them team COM
posed of the best players from their
own town and the several towns in
that vicinity-Hagerstown, Middle
town, Myersville and Frederick-and
they put up much faster game than
we had anticipated. Andrews was
not in his usual good form and Trip.
lett started to pitch the game, but
after three innings had been played
and we found we were up against
pretty stiff proposition, Andrews went
into the box and he proved a puzzle
for the visitors the remainder of the
game. We had several chances to
win even after the score was tied, but
by one of those strange combinations
of circumstances which cannot be &C.
counted for sometimes, every error
made by our team was costly, and the
visitors undoubtedly played in luck
The contest was very exciting, and
those who like to see q close game
certainly got their moneys worth.
Never mind; just wait till we get an
other chance at them-we'll make the
fur fly. The battery for Boonsboro
was Wachtell and Strause, and Wach-
tell pitched a mighty good game
Kerns caught an excellent game
for the home team. Another game
will probably be arranged with the
same team for one day the first of
next week.

Work on the New Bridge.

Work on the new Norfolk & West
ern bridge over the Potomac at this
place is being rapidly pushed forward.
The work is carried on night and day,
The cofer-dam for the fourth pier is
completed and concrete work will be
commenced Immediately and the work
of grading is also being pushed. The
deep cut between German and High
streets is finished and now the work
of filling and other grading will be
done. A large concrete culvert has
been placed near German street to
drain the fat below the Reformed
cemetery. The works on top Of the
bluff overlooking the river are lighted
by incandescent lights while the work
on the pier in the middle Of the stream
is lighted by a large arc light.
The pier on the Maryland shore
has been entirely completed, while
the next one is completed except for
twelve feet of concrete. The third
pier is above the water-level. The
concrete abutment for the Maryland
end of the bridge has also been COM
pleted. Twenty-four concrete ped.
estals have been placed on the other
side, which will serve as foundations
for the iron work.
Two small engines and a half'dozen
cars have arrived which will be used
in carrying the dirt to make the deep
ill between High street and edge Of
bluff. 1t is hoped that the concrete
will be finished by the beginning OF
winter, but if there ia much high
water the work will be delayed.
The new bridge when completed will
be los feet high and l 446 feet long.

TITLE 70 THE ONTARIO CLAIM

In the Federal court this week at
Moscow, Judge Dietrich entered a
formal Judgment in favor Of the de-
PENDANT in the case OF Jonathan
Bourne Jr., versus the Federal Min
ing and Smelling company. The
announcement OF his decision was
made several weeks ago by Judge
Dietrich for the benefit Of the part
les concerned.
The action concerns the cxtm-lat-
cral rights Of the Ontario lode
claims owned by Jonathan Bourne
and the judgment decides these
rights in favor Of the defendant in
view Of the fact that the extra-lat-
eral rights are declared to run to-
ward the west or the Stewart
ground and not toward the south
or the Federal group.
1t is understood that this decis-
ion ends the contest.
