the greater became the crowd and
soon a nearly apple orchard was half
denuded of it's fruit.

lie, who had successfully eluded the

father since August 18th, when they

PiCk-Ups 6; High School l..

The Pickup base ball team de-
feated the Cambridge High School
team yesterday afternoon at the
new Athletic Park in one of the
best played games of the season.
The game was an unusually close
one, and the interest of the specta-
tors was keyed up to the highest
pitch all through the contest. The
Pick-Ups scored several runs in one
inning, which gave them lead that
the High School team was unable
to overcome. After this, however,
the High School boys settled down
and held their opponents right
down. There were a number of in
teresting plays throughout the
game. The batteries were, for the
High School, Phillips and Spedden;
for the Pick-Ups, Applegarth and
Phillips.
While the High School boys were
defeated, they put up mighty good
game, and when the fact is taken
into consideration that they were
boys playing against men, it will be
seen that they contended against
considerable odds.

Rescue Fire Company, Thirty-FiVe
Strong Leave en- route for
Homecoming.

President Russell P. Smith, and
Chief Edward L. Bramble, with 33
other members of Rescue Fire Co,
will leave on the boat this evening
en- route for Homecoming, to attend
| the sessions of the Annual COnven-
ton of the Maryland Volunteer Fire
mems Association, which convenes
at that place Thursday. The men,
bers of the local company will COM
pete in a number TO the events and,
if they should not be fortunate
enough to bring home any other
trophies, they certainly cannot lose
the one to be given for the best
looking delegation in attendance up
on the Convention.
While this large delegation has
left for the Convention, SO active
members remain at home, and should
Cambridge be so unfortunate as to
have fire during their Absence the
members at home will be able to
meet any occasion that may arise.
President Smith, of the local
Company, is a candidate for the po
sition of Treasurer of the State
Association, and it is believed that
his chances are unusually good, as
the President of the Association will
likely come from Baltimore county;
the Secretary from Western Mary
land, so that if the Eastern Shore
is to receive any recognition, ii
must come in this way. 1t is like
ly that Rescue Fire Company will
extend the Association an invitation
to meet here next year.
