Holly Contested Came Inspires
Our Local Poet.

Last Thursday afternoon the Emmits-
burg baseball club came down to Thur
mont and played with the local club.
They had fightin' clothes on and started
off with a rush, the rush continuing until
the close of the game. A ball batted
, out third base line bounded over the
third baseman's head and gave the visit
ors run in the third inning. They con-
tinued scoring on most anything most
of the things being hits.
The local boys who connected with the
ball apparently for safety, saw the ball
land directly in the glove of their oppon-
ents Not run was made until the
seventh when the ball made another
phenomenal jump over the third sacker's
head, three runs being made before the
inning closed.
Features of the game were the throw

an Emmitsburg car BY an Emmitsburg
player while warming up, the glass cut
ting lady in the car. The breaking of
a bleacher plank on which were sitting
about half dozen Emmitsburg ladies,
one of whom got severe bump on the
head; the retirement Of umpire Root on
account of extreme heat, and the losing
of balls in the jungles surrounding the
diamond.

THE GAME WITH EMMITSBURG

We strolled down to the baseball lot
To see our boys so proud,
We found them there right on the dot,
And praises we sang loud.
The umpire called the game at last;
We settled down to see
How easy twas to take the game
By score of four to three.
Ed. climbed upon the little mound
With Clark behind the plate,
They gave the ball toss around,
Our hopes were going great.
Just how it was Wen never write,
How Emmtsburg should see,
To swat that ball out into right,
Was good for bases three.
They started in at once to score,
The bases soon were filled,
The ball next sailed the bushes Ger,
Alas! our hopes were killed.
Our turn at bat soon came along,
We thought we'd now get square,
The umpire sang his little song,
''Three strikes! get out of there"
And when we knocked one in the air
That looked good for run,
Their felders always happened there
To spoil our little fun.
When Emmitsburg took turn at bat,
1t was the same old story,
Home runs, two baggers, and all that
To pile up more their glory.
Then once we got the bases full,
And Ed. came to the bat,
Their pitcher gave his belt pull
And frightened down his hat.
The umpire left US wait bit
While balls and strikes he cried,
When Ed. sent out smashing hit
We thought the score was tied.
The runners started round the line
To bring some runs at last,
But Chick just then was working fine
And stopped that mighty blast.
The ball went right into his nit,
And jumped right out again,
But that's not all there is to it,
For he reached right out and then,
That ball he had right in his hand
Before it touched the ground,
Right there he killed our little band,
They never got around.
Their teams too heavy now we say,
And their ladies too I'll declare,
They broke our grandstand down that
day,
An occurrence very rare.
Instead of score of four to three,
They trimmed US ten to four;
All's over, but it seems to me,
We should have gotten more.
Don't turn us down, but get IN line,
And boost us all you can,
Well practice now our little nine,
Come out and be fan.

Macadam Road.

Several members of the committee that
was appointed at Deerfield several
months ago to wait upon the Western
Maryland Railway Co. in regard to what
they would do in order to eliminate the
four grade crossings on the road from
Thurmont to Deerfield, and to solicit con.
tributions to macadamize this road, with
DR.. Cullen chairman, appeared before
the County Commissioners on Monday
and reported to said Commissioners that
they had subscribed several hundred dol
lars short of two thousand dollars, but
guaranteed to get two thousand; that the
Western Maryland Railway had only
agreed to give seven hundred and fifty
dollars, which was deemed by the County
Commissioners and the Committee as
being very short of doing their part, as
the cost of grading the new road bed to
eliminate said crossings will cost about
three thousand dollars alone, and the
Western Maryland Railway will be the
beneficiary in eliminating damages at
said crossings Three of them are very
dangerous on account of the bushes and
train coming down the mountain with
out putting is upon you before you know
it.
The road will evidently be macada-
mized which will bring considerable more
travel on that road and fight will then
be made for watchmen at these crossings.
1t is the intention of the Committee and
County Commissioners to again wait upon
the railroad company and see if they will
not donate sufficient to do away with
these crossings before money is spent
upon the present road.
Every year the number of trains on the
railroad is increasing, and the amount OF
travel on this road will increase and there
is not on the line of said road three more
dangerous crossings. At the fourth one
you have show. We feel sure that the
railroad company will do their part when
they thoroughly understand the true sit
uation.
