Encouraging Report.

A regular meeting of the Community
Club was held Tuesday evening. Matters
of particular interest to the town, that
of building the State road through Thur
mont and the curbing and paving OF the
sidewalks on these streets were discuss
ed. The committee appointed to inter-
view property owners on the streets re-
ported that very little opposition was
found. State Road engineer Tenney, OF
Frederick, was present and tried to make
plain to property owners what would be
required of them. In the past several
years considerable curb and gutter has
been put down by the citizens and the
matter of tearing this up and putting in
curb and gutter to conform with the
grade made by the road engineers vexed
many of these persons. Mr.. Tenney, at
this meeting, stated that he thought the
road could be built to conform with the
concrete curb and cutters generally, and
that the property owners would be put
to very little expense OF course where
there is no concrete curb and cutters the
same will be necessary and will have TO
be built.
The committee was requested to make
its final report and have same in hands
of the Board of Commissioners not later
than Friday evening. Everything looks
bright and no doubt in short time bids
will be asked for the building of this con-
Meeting link of State road.

MOtterS Wins Game.

Last Thursday afternoon a game OF

this place, a nine from Motters Station
crossing bats with the High School team.
The game was particularly interesting,
first one and then the other club adding
one to the score, and making |: difficult
to predict who would be the winner. This
kind of ball was played until the eighth
inning at which stage the Motters boys
fell heavy on Freeze and the game turn
ed into hit and run affair. This pace
was kept during the ninth and at the
close of the game the score was Motters

Atlanta Has Big Fire.

Fire broke out in a negro section
in Atlanta, Ca, Monday, May 21st,
and burned through a section of the
city which contained many of the
finest homes in the city. A high wind
carried the flames faster than the
fireman could travel. Scores of homes
were dynamited in the effort to stop
the flame, but the wind famed the
flames across this barrier several
blocks. Thousands of people were
left homeless. National guardsmen
were put on guard in the burned area
and quiet prevailed. The loss is es-
timated between two and three mill
ions of dollars.

Obey Commands.

Now that this country is at war and
that hundreds of guards have been sent
to various places throughout the country
by the Government to protect property,
it would be wise for all persons in vicini-
ties where these guards are stationed to
obey the command, halt! These guards
are under orders to shoot if their COM
mand is not obeyed.
These men are not at this time out on
vacations and ready to meet friends at
any hour or permit same to approach un-
challenged. Halt when commanded to
do so. and avoid the possibilities of being
killed or seriously wounded.

BY PAUL PURMAN.

The proximity of war with the pos
sibility Of volunteer service and even,
as final result, CONSUMPTION, natu-
rally suggests the effect it would have
on sport
War conditions III America could
not vary much from those in the bel
igerent European countries, and TAX
ing these as an example, amateur and
professional sport, would practically
be suspended until the end of the war.
In case of conscription, athletes, am
ateur and professional, between 1S
and 30, would be drafted into the serv-
ice. This would practically take every
athlete of prominence in all branches
of sport.
Even should they escape conscrip-
ton, the idea of lot of husky, train
ed:to-the-minute men engaging in
baseball or like amusements would be
so unpopular that it would not be toll.
erated-to say nothing Of patronized
There are practically no American
presidents to go by in considering
the qQuestion. During the Civil war
the major sports had not reached the
prominence they hold today. Baseball
was practically unknown, football was
not invented until Several years later
golf and tennis had not obtained prom
inence. boxing matches were few and
frowned on by law.
OF course, there Is the precedent Of

the Spanish war, but that war was
over in few months and was not
generally taken very seriously.
If war should come patriotism would
sweep baseball, boxing, football and
kindred sports before it.
Already baseball is preparing for
such an eventuality. In some Of the
minor leagues magnates are already
planning to close their parks for a
season in case of war and Fan John
son, president of the American league,
is now mapping out a course should
there be a call to the colors.
Also in such contingency it will
be interesting to watch the rise in the
popularity of boxing with its Darcys.,
it's Badouts, its Welshes and it's other
patriotic representatives.
On the other hand, indications ear
ly point to general enlistment Of col
lege athletes.
Princeton was the first to the front
with the announcement that military
companies would be formed there for
active duty. Little Wabash college,
in Indiana, has agreed to send a COM
pany. Many schools have compulsory
training for first and second-year stud
ents. These would give their quotas.

up the ball and the smartest pitchers
have never made such claims.
The fact is, that the batter is up
there set to hit anything he likes and
just because he may have decided TO
pass one up. is no reason why he
would not swing If the ball is grooved
for him. 8sss# 80 ~
Rudolph, like others, studies batters,
and knows what they can hit and what
fools them. Not having great strength
or excessive speed Rudolph must
know his batters to be successful.
In this Rudolph is only following a
practice started probably by .Addie
Joss, who made himself the leading
pitcher in the American league for
years by studying batters and knowing
what to pitch them without exerting
himself to the limit.
Pitchers with great strength and ter
rife speed are not forced to resort to
his method, although the strongest Of
them find themselves more effective by
systematic study of opponents.
Pitchers of the type of Walter John
son and Alexander can win most of
their games by their terrific speed
and their sharp breaking curves.
Matthewson won success by study
ing batters. He was one Of the great
est opponents of this style of pitching.
Cy Young hung on in the big show
for years because he knew what to
feed batters.
Dusty Rhodes was one of the few
pitchers who claimed to have system
in making batsmen hit certain ways.
He contended certain kinds Of pitching
resulted in mathematical angles when
the bat struck the ball and that he
could determine before the ball was
pitched whether it would be hit in
the air or on the ground.
