shops in Hagerstown, but Mr.. Byers
said that for the present these rumors
were unfounded.
Western Maryland College quint de-
feated St. Andrews Club of Baltimore
Saturday night in the Armory by a
score of 20 to II. The game was one
of the fastest played here this season,
and at the start of the fray it looked

road will be built from the hospital at
