St. Anthony Club Play Two
Games Last Week.

Two very interesting games of ball
were played last week by St. Anthony's
boys, one at Rocky Ridge, the other at
Detour, and both on Saturday. The
game of 81 played at Rocky Ridge in
the morning was a pitchers battle be-
tween w. Shorb and Leslie Fox, the lat
ter having the advantage of the six in
ming contest. True, he famed IA men
and allowed but 6 hits, while Shorb fam
ned but 8 and allowed hits. Until the
fifth inning not man reached second.
In this inning the locals scored their only
run. In the sixth the Ridge boys won
their game, base on balls, several err
rors by Warthen at 3rd aided by several
hits Melted five runs, which won the con-
test. A return game will be played on
the old field at the College along the State
Road Saturday at p. m. The same
teams will be on the field and the game
promises to be very interesting.
AS per agreement with the Ridge boys
the game was called at the end of the
sixth, in order that St. Anthony could
play at Detour in the afternoon at 2.30.
Manager Settler put w. Shorb, who did
the pitching in the morning, in the box
against the Detour boys, and finding he
did not haye to work very hard, kept
him there the entire game. Shorb al
lowed but hits and no runs. while the
Detour battery, Myers, Fogle and Ecker,
were handled for % hits and % runs.
The St. Anthony boys never played
better ball than they did at Rocky Ridge
Saturday morning. In conclusion we
must say that never have the local boys
been treated better than they were at
Rocky Ridge and Detour last Saturday.
We are only too sorry that our season is
so near close that we cannot meet again.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jas. Kelly who have been
visiting in this locality have returned to

Will Government Repair Its Part OF
State Road?


State Road?
with the State road gangs at work
repairing roads leading to Gettysburg,
comes the probability that between the
stretches that the State puts in good
condition and the roads under the control
of the National Park Commission, will
be bad pieces of highway, since the gov
eminent has yet shown no disposition to
repair these stretches under their juris-
diction. These two portions of road in
clude about half mile on the Taneytown
from Granite lane to the blacksmith shop
at Round Top and 1890 feet on the En-
mitsburg road between the Peach Or
chard road and point near the Sixth
Pennsylvania monument.
Under an act passed in 1905 the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania coded to the
National Park Commission jurisdiction
over public roads and parts of public
roads within the limits of the National
Park here, and included in this act came
the portions of road referred to above.
On the Taneytown road the government
has built macadam road as far as the
Granite lane and on the highway to En-
mitsburg as far as the Peach Orchard
road, leaving the por lions of road be-
tween as provided in the act ceding the
highway to the government, unrepaired.

Sheriff Conard Gets Two And
Misses One At ThurmOnt.

Owing to the number of robberies
committed along the Western Maryland
Railroad, the officials of the company
have determined, if possible, to put an
end to train riding, hoping in this way to
break up the thieving.
According to instructions. Sheriff Con-
ard and four deputies came to 1hurmont
Tuesday morning to pick up any persons
riding freight or other trains illegally.
During the forenoon these officers cap
tured an aged Traveller" at Hobo camp
west of Thurmont and brought him to
the w. M. depot, then waited for a
freight train to come. One came at 2
o'clock; the officers having stationed
themselves along the track west of the
depot. AS the train came slowly to the
station two riders were discovered and
the riders discovered the officers.
These fellows, both young men, well
dressed, saw the officers to the right of
the train and beat it to the other side to
make their escape. They jumped, but
only to be nabbed by another officer.
They were cuffed together and placed in
one of the automobiles under guard.
As the freight train was leaving Thur
mont, negro who had been loafing
around the freight yard jumped on the
train. The officers did not see him.
Several of the officers then left for
Hobo camp to try and detect visitor,
while others waited for another train 60
ing west.
The greater number of train riders
seem to arrive at Thurmont during the
night, and many times remain here until
the next day. Citizens residing at the
east end of Thurmont are annoyed by
these people very much, as they come
begging for something to eat.
BY persistent effort the railroad officials
may possibly break up the habit of steal
ing ride on freight train, but the
ask is no small one.
1t might be well for some people east
and west of Thurmont who occasionally
ride freight trains to take notice.
