Notes of the Game.
We secured thirteen hits to the Wis
itors' seven.
Winchester had large delegation of
enthusiastic rooters, who boosted their
players and kicked at all unfavorable
decisions.
We are still at a loss to know who
we played, whether it was Winches-
ter or the entire Shenandoah Valley
The much advertised game between
Shepherdstown and Strasburg was
played Monday afternoon on what was
supposed to be neutral ground in
Charles Town. The Virginia boys have
big reputation in their part of the
Valley, where they have been cleaning
up all the local clubs, but they made
a rather poor showing against the strong
Shepherdstown team-they could hard
ly Re called in our class. We won
easily by the score Of IL to 6. We
jumped on their pitcher, Craig, in the
very first inning, and gave a fine ex-
hibition of good team work as we fore
ed our first run in. Craig was hit hard,
ten timely bingles being gathered off
of him in the six innings he pitched,
one of them a three-bagger by Rogers.
Kirk Mckee pitched seven innings for
Shepherdstown, striking out seven men
and allowing six hits. He made way
for Brandy Myers to show some addi-
tional good stuff in the last two in
nings. Brandy struck out three men
in the two innings he pitched and al
lowed two hits. Mitchell relieved
Craig, pitching well the last three in
nings and allowing three hits. Stras-
burg was well loaded for this game.
having with them Winchester'S catcher
and first baseman and a pitcher and
three other players from Bridgewater
College. This was in contrast to the
Shepherdstown team, every member OF
which is a resident Of his home town.
Breckenridge was easily the star for
Strasburg, playing fine game both as
catcher and at the bat. Features for
Shepherdstown were a brilliant catch
by Myers in the third inning, fine
scoop by Moler of line drive, while
Potts in centre field and Snyder in
left got everything that came their way.
played a fine game
but il was not appreciated
by the Charles Town rooters. Having
invited our team there to play for a
local benefit, they ragged our players
and rooted continuously for Strasburg.
Our most brilliant plays evoked no ap-
plause, while Strasburg was vocifer-
ously cheered on all occasions. 1t was
an exhibition of poor craftsmanship
and bad manners that could not be ex-
cused even by jealousy. Perhaps a
half dozen or so Charles Town folks
we're fair to our boys-the balance
we're against us. Manager Potts has
arranged for two more games with the
Strasburg team. to be played in the
home towns. The score:

lating the Volstead Act. Prohibition
agent, said that, In response to COM
plants made In writing by women Of

drug store yesterday and purchased
whiskey without a prescription. On
the premises they found half a Carrel

two cases OF wines
This was regular pleading day in
the United states District Court for
vlolators Of the Volstead Act, but
there were few Offenders on hand,

They didn't get much nourishment
from their observations of Judge
Neblett. Out where ne comes from
he has been accustomed to sending

Act TO jail for sixty days. However,
he will consult with the New York

LIQUORS SEIZED
BY DRY AGENTS ARE
ORDERED RESTORED
More Than 1000, 900 Worth
Held Is Now Sued for by
Former Owners.

The promiscuous seizure OF liquoi
by prohibition agents through thu
medium Of search warrants ant
otherwise has been halted by thu
action Of United states Commission
ers in ordering the return OF hun
dreds Of thousands Of dollars wortf
OF whiskey and other forbidden bev'
erages to their owners. Suits havi
been filed against the prohibition en-
forcement officials for the recovery
Of more than 81 100000 worth OF stuff
seized in the past year by enforce
ment agents acting without search
warrants.
Two typical cases just disposed o.
arc those of Thomas J. Walsh Of
Brooklyn and John ]. Miller Of Man
haitian. Prohibition agent William
Fleming visited Walsh's place OF
Feb. Is and seized $4,000 worth o.
liquor, although Walsh is a permit
holder and 10 engaged in business
legitmately under the provisions oil
the Nolstead Act.
Through the firm Of Griffiths, Sar-
fatty & Content, Walsh brought his
case TO the attention of United States
Commissioner James McCabe OF
Brooklyn. The Prohibition agents
were unable to show and did not
claim that Walsh had violated the
law but tried TO justify the seizure on
the ground that one Of Walsh's en-
ployees had furnished bail for a man
who was arrested while driving a
truck loaded with whiskey across the
Brooklyn Bridge. Commissioner Nc
Cabe ordered that Walsh's stock be
returned to his place of business at
No. AL Kings Highway.
Miller is a permit holder and le-
climate wholesaler at No. So Second
Avenue. ReceWtly, because Of freight
delays ne received two shipments Of
whiskey from a distillery in one day.
He had no room in his store for the
two shipments and stored part Of the
stuff IN his cellar.
Prohibition agents visiting his
place on a tour OF inspection seized
his entire stock, valued at 500 900, on
the ground that his permit did not
allow storage in the cellar. United
States Commissioner Hitchcock. who
issued the original search warrant,
issued an order resembling 1t when

Train In Egypt Picks Up Passengers

An American engineer tells Of
train that will conveniently stop
whenever freight or passengers appear
by the side Of the track. This rail-
way Is to be found in Egypt. The
train at starting, as seen by the
American. consisted only, of the engine
and coach. which might have been 9
baggage car with four, windows cut
In it, and a bench placed all around,
But before it had gone very far the
train came upon couple Of trucks
filled with cane standing on the line
in the middle Of a cane field. These
were attached to the front Of the
engine, which moved slowly along till
they came to another batch. These
were almost empty, but the cargo was
piled on each side of the line. and,
Arabs rapidly loaded them, while the
employees took advantage Of the de.
lay to water the engine. II IA
This task was performed In the
most primitive fashion by two, WA
ter carriers, who, having placed
notched section of a date tree be-
tween the engine and the ground, to
serve as ladder, laboriously filed
the goatskins. which are SWING on
their backs at a ditch by the side OF
the track, climbed up the tree ladder
to the engine. and emptied their goat
skins into the boiler. =. BY the time It
was full the trucks were loaded. and
the train proceeded, pushing about
dozen trucks before it. ~ S',~1S@

The Water Spider.

A correspondent of English Country
Life describes a peculiar spider that
lives under water the greater part Of
its life. It builds a dome-like nest Of
silk among weeds in ponds and
bitches, and fills the nest with air.
In that strange house It lives and.
lays its eggs. In autumn 1t makes
another nest at a greater distance
below the surface Of the water, and,
having sealed itself inside, 1t sleeps
until spring. Taken out of the water,
the spider looks like any other, but as
soon us 1t is put back, the bubble OF
mir that 1t collects round 1t body makes
it look like a ball Of quicksilver. Il
