Skin Grating To Save Arm.

The delicate operation of skin grating
was performed at Union Hospital. Elkton,
on Saturday. dozen young men. friends
of Charles Godfrey, visited the hospital
and submitted to having small strips of
skin taken from their arms, to be grated
to the arm of Godfrey. who several months
ago met with an accident at the fibre mills
in Newark, Del, when his arm was
flesh torn from the member. 1t was
feared the arm would have to be ampu-
tated, but the physicians at the hospital
believe the operation will be successful
and the injured arm will get entirely well
in the course of time.

INJUNCTION GRANTED.
Power Company Restrained From
Raising Dam.

Judge Lands has granted an injunc-
ton restraining the Pennsylvania Water
& Power Company from raising their dam
across the Susquehanna river below Nc
Calls Ferry. The injunction was issued
on complaint of the Lancaster Electric
Light, Heat and Power Co., which
operates plants at Rock Hill and Wabank,
to protect land and water rights on the
Conestoga river between Safe Harbor and
Rock Hill.
The bill of complaint AYERS that the
defendant company is about to raise the
breast of its dam by adding five feet of
plankings to the present structure and
the plaintiffs allege that the additional
back water from this increase of height
to the dam breast will work irreparable
damage to their properties and prevent
the operation of the power plants on the
Conestoga. 1t is also claimed that the
Pennsylvania Company failed to submit
its plans for the contemplated changes to
the State Water Commission as required
by the Act of 1907 and that it persisted in
proceeding with the work after notice had
been served upon it to desist.

pERRYv1LLE PROTESTS GAME.

On the plea that center fielder Hall of the
home team used a fat bat in the game with
Perryville July 20, that club has served notice
of protest to the officials of the Tri-County
League. The game in question was won by
Rising Sun, the score being to 8.
Reference to the score shows that Hall was
not at bat in either of the innings in which
Rising Sun scored runs, and that in his four
times up he received base on balls in the
second inning and was left was fielded out
from pitcher to 1st in the fourth inning and
struck out in the sixth and eighth innings. In
view of the fact that Rising Sun scored only
in the fifth and seventh it is not clear how
Halls batting figured in the result. However,
should the league officials decide the game
should be played over, Rising Sun feels abun-
dainty capable of duplicating the feat of trim
ming Perryville again, and with HOffecker
pitching too.
But speaking of protests, the question of the
eligibility of Hoffecker, of the Perryville team
has been raised, to determine whether all
games in which he has participated should not
be thrown out. We are reliably informed he
has been pitching for Salisbury this summer.
and while he may have been doing this purely
for the love of the sport, there are those who
are of the opinion he is receiving remunera-
tion for his services. which is contrary to the
rules of the Tri-County League. and if such is
the case he should be expelled. 1t was this
form Of cheap professionalism that did so
much harm during the life of former county
leagues, and the officials should take imme-
diate steps to prevent it's recurrence. At any
rate, the question of whether or not pitcher
Hoffecker is being paid for playing with
Salisbury will bear investigation.
