Frank K. Schmidt was right! AT
the Hagerstown meeting of the d.
rectors and officials of the clubs
that make up the Blue Ridge Cir
1 cult. Mr.. Schmidt was the only Fred
K erick representative and when ask,
ed by President Jamison about sew

been made by the Frederick papers,
Mr.. Schmidt answered THAT the
sport news in Frederick was written
about irresponsible boys and that
exception would have to be made"
Whoever the correspondent for the
Baltimore papers may be must be
the gent in mind, for when he
states that the Martinsburg players
argued that Neptunes hit in the
eighths over the cowsheds was only
a double he was either not at the
game or doesn't know what he sees
when he sees it. The hit was ruled
by Umpire McDevitt as a two base
nit. Our friend Umpire Marks
though he would call it homer.
Why shouldn't players stand UP and
make a kick when the umpire that
was handling that end of the game
called it two base hit and anoth-
er umpire wanted to change 1t into
a homer? II Martinsburg hadn't been
right do you think Neptune would
have been held at second?
The other discussion came when
Miller slid into home plate in the

 FOR S|NN FE|NERS
Homes and Offices Searched for Evidence Against Authors
 of Recent Outrages
By Associated Press

Dublin, December 1S.-Searches for evidence against the promoters of Sim Fein outrages which are conducted by the police or military authorities are among the notable features of life in Dublin. They usually take place in the daytime or in the early morning hours
 In making them, the authorities have committed some blunders, The mili- tary motor trucks used to drive up in front of suspected house and stop there while the searchers entered the building. The trucks were left in charge of only few men. This proved tempting to Sim Fein attacks, which frequently surprised those on guard.
 No risk is taken now. The whole street, no matter what it's importance is cleared of all traffic for distance on both sides of the suspected house and the searchers can thus do their work without apprehension of being taken in the rear. The fact that house owners. Some of the most respected of Dublin unionists have had their prem ises exhaus lively searched,
 An incident which indicates that the government agents are not the only ones whfo are collecting weapons under the decree that arms must be surren- dered occurred the other day at one of Dublin's most fashionabl clubs. There were two old revolvers in the club room The police heard of them and notified the club that they would have to be surrendered. A few days later two men appeared and demanded the revolvers,s which were surrnderd to them After they had gone, the club members looked at the receipt given for them and found it was signed Mutt and Jeffr

IMPERIALISM PLOT
 CHARGED TOPOLES
LithuanianS Accuse Savinkoff of Attacking Minsk to Ex-
 tend Polish Territory
By Associated Press

Kovo. Lithuania, December 1S-The Lithuanian government has denounced as Polish imperialistic plot the effort command of Boris Savinkoff to seize Minsk, the most important city in white Russia.
 This venture is regarded by the Lithuanian Officials with apprehension. They say that Poles of various persua- sion are. ..co-operating with sSavinkoff, and they regard this action as an eff fort to extend Polish territory far to the eastward at the expense of the Lithuanians and white Russians.
 Some of the Poles acting with Savin- koff are said to have been sympathetic with the seizure of Wilma by General Zellgouski, who proclaimed the middle Lithuanian government which, the Lithuanians claim, is merely a Polish plan to hold Wilma. Russia bolshevists apparently are keeping their hands off for the time being, and appear to be content with seeing the Poles in conflict with their various small neighbors and jeering at the failure of the League of Nations to check Polish territorial am bitions.
 White Russia, the undefined, hay area east of Lithuania and Latvia is a land of mystery. In various treaties the bolshevilSi have insisted upon the recognition of it's independence. It's western boundary has been defined definitely in the treaties between the balsheviki, Lithuana and Latvia, but it's other boundaries are shrouded in uncertainty and it stands as q fluid bar rier state. regarded here as menacing to the new Baltic nations.
