Picnic Problem Solved.

A nest OF cups which take up lit
tie room in the picnic basket seems to
be the solution Of familiar problem
These are made OF aluminium, the light
est material from which such things
are made, and the cups are practically
indestTuotibas. They are fitted snugly
one into the other, and cover fits
the largest one so that when not in
use the whole set of six Is kept clean
and free from dust. Aluminium does
not rust or tarnish like tin or silver
so that it is particularly desirable fol-
articles of this kind, Also it is thin
and in spite of the fact that there ars
six cups in the nest there is not q
very great difference between the sizes
Of the largest and the smallest o.
them.

HARD TO PREVENT GAMBLING
Veteran English Sportsman Calls Il

Betting is An ineradicable foible

years old, and from his youth a pa
iron of the sport Of kings" speaks
az an authority. Lord Durham,
while declaring that betting is not a
crime, yet admits that it is not
virtue.

this universal human passion but it
need not foster it.
Lord Durham has lately led in
movement to abolish tipsters' adver-
tisements in the English newspapers,
and to that end fathered bill in the
house OF lords.
Whether or not the betting instinct
is, as Lord Durham says, an 'inerad-
icable foible.' 1t has manifested itself
in all ages and among all peoples. In
ancient England the loser Of wager
was often made a slave to the win
ner and sold in traffic, like other mer
chandise.

in the elimination of all milk and bulky
express packages from passenger service.
Shipments of this character have, in the
past, tended to longest conditions in that
service, and on occasions when such ship
ments were particularly heavy, they have
not condIced to the comfort and conven-
fence of the passengers. For the pur-
pose of eliminating this unpleasant stu
alton four freight and express cars have
been brought into service to care for
these shipments, two each way. One
leaves Frederick daily at 5 a. M. arriv-
ing at Thurmont at 6 a. M, and the
other leaves Frederick, daily except Sun
day, t1.l5 p. m. and arrives at Thur
mont ut 2.35 p. m. The leaving time of

has been determined however, that one
of these cars shall be devoted exclusively
to the milk and cream traffic for Fred

BASEBALL NEWS.
Thurmont Wins A gain.

Thurmont Wins gain.
Last week we announced that base
ball team from Waynesboro would play
here Saturday afternoon, but word was
sent to Manager Birely that they could
not come. A team from the Brush Fact.
Thurmont and a game was arranged for
Saturday with this club.
The game began with Birely in the box
for the home team and our old star play
er, Rob't Rouzer, behind the bat. This
was "Bt bbie's" first appearance in a
game here in four years but he yet knows
and played an excellent game. Selby
and Kreh were the battery for the visit
ors. Root took up the mound work for
Thurmont in the fifth and handed the
Frederick team something they were not
used to seeing.
In the first three innings neither side
scored. In the fourth Frederick caught
sight of the ball and as a result scored
two runs; the home team scored one run.
Frederick scored one run in the fifth,
and Thurmont did not score again until
the seventh when they made two runs
and tied the score. The spectators be-
gan to get interested and rooted vigor-
ously.
The eighth was runless In this inning
Root pulled himself out of bad place
by retiring three in succession with
man on third.
In the ninth the visitors made two
runs. To win it was necessary for Thur
mont to make three. Birely began to
take over the game by getting walk,
Beard hit for a single, Damuth also hit
for single but the ball came in contact
with Beard, causing the first out; Rouzer
famed. With two out, two on bases,
two strikes and two balls against him,
Creeger hit for double, scoring Birely
and Damuth and tied the score for the
second time. Kelbaugh came to the res
cue by hitting for single and scored
Creeger. Three runs scored and the
game won.
The pitchers all did excellent work,
Birely striking out and walked 2 in
a innings; Root struck out and walked
in 5 innings; Selby struck out 9 and
walked in the entire game. Seven hits
were made off Birely and four off Root,
while six singles and three two-baggers
were registered against Selby.
The score:
Frederick ..........0 002 l 0 @ 2-5
Thurmont. ......:.0 90 / 002 3-6
Next Game.
On Saturday afternoon at 2 O'Clock, a
game will be played at this place at which
time the Union Bridge team will play the
home club. A good game may be ex-
pected.

Give The Game Your Support

As shown by the attendance at base
bali games, many persons ENJOY the
game. The manager Of the club states
that the fi'ancial support given the team
is not what it ought to be. To have
teams come to Thurmont every Satur-
day costs money, and it seems the Treas
urer is always financially embarrassed.
Every person attending the game should
chip in mot pennies) and thus put the
boys in good condition financially.
