Baseball.

Baseball.
The Fats and the Leans had an exciting
game of baseball on Tuesday, which the
latter won by a score of IS to II. The
Fats were way ahead at one time, but
they got tagged out about the time the
Leans got their second wind, and wasted
so much breath quarreling about the shah
by way in which the Leans changed their
lineup that they couldn't score after
ward. Town Sergeant Shipley umpired
the game, and his decisions were invaria-
bly, satisfactory to at least one half the
players. Ed Carter caught a fine game
for the Fats, while Charlie Carter and
Willis Skinner pitched excellently until
they ottired. For the Leans Skinny Nor
row caught until 10 Walper got worn out,
when he went into the box, while Harry
Maddox caught. The Fats finally objected
OF Skinny pitching, on the ground thathe
was professional, and DR.. Burwell took
his place-but the Doctor was even
worse. There were several warm scraps
during the game, but the beautifully Dig
nified manner in which the Fat rooterS
conducted themselves prevented serious
trouble, especially as it was known that
/ the umpire had his club with him. II
| was conceded that Tim Carter had the
loyliest costume, but VIII Reinhart was
easily the most popular player-excepi
when he forgot what base he was filling.
A large crowd was present and enjoyed
the game so much that the managers viii
probably have another game after the
same style.
We had good game OF baseball here
last Saturday with the Myersville team

The visitors outclassed US, playing much
better game in every respect, and we are
thankful we were beaten no worse.
Wachtel pitched very effective game

Only four hits were made off Of him

one and Rogers one. Our team wa:
somewhat demoralized by having to pu

Railroad Officials Here.

A party of officials OF the Norfolk &
Western Railway, including Division SUI
perintendent ]. T. Carey, Division SUI
perintenden! A. Bruner, Road Foreman
c. w. McCrory and Bridge Foreman
Biedler, were in Shepherdstown yester-
day looking after the company's affairs.
They held conference with Mayor U.
S. Martin and Councilman J.. L. Well
shans, and reached an agreement in re-
gard to joint Improvements here by the
town and the railroad company. The
company will at once improve the awk-
ward crossing on German street by rails
ing the old track about three feet and
making an easy grade for the west ap-
proach. This work will be temporary, in
part, as the company will tear up all OF
the old track between German street and
the old bridge when its station shall have
been completed. II wishes to retain this
track for the present for the convenience
of the contractor building the new station.
The company agrees TO deliver the earth
and stone now being taken from the sta
ton lot to the points where the town will
need it for grading High and Mill streets.
The town will make an easy grade on
High street as an additional approach to
the new station. Culverts will be placed
at the intersection of Mill and High streets
TO carry off the storm waters. The rail-
road company promises to make good ap-
proaches and convenient and handsome
surroundings at the new station. The
town will give it permission TO put an
other track across Washington street, con-
Meeting up its switches and making side
track from Lemen'S elevator to Morgan's
Grove, distance OF about mile.
We understand that the railroad has
made satisfactory arrangements with X.
@. Miller, whose property is just west Of
the station site, for the Improvements at
that place. They will grade up his yard,
lay new pavement for him, and make
such changes as may be needed.
