Good WCrk.

"CleanUp" day was observed in
hepherdstown yesterday in COM
pliance with the request of the Mayor
and town council. Property owners
cleaned up the streets in front of their
homes, and the town authorities made
arrangements to have the dirt hauled
away. AS result, the appearance of
the streets is much improved.
The town officials ask us to express
their thanks to the people who sochc
fully complied with the request to
clean up in front of their premises
On every street the good work was
carried on, and of course the town is
so much better of.
This morning a force Of workmen
began sweeping Main street and ap-
plying another coat of oil. Starting
at the top of the hill, the oil will be
applied as far as the present supply
will last, putting this street in good
order for the heavy travel of fair
week. Mayor Moler and our other
town officials have made a splendid
record this year in improving our
streets and keeping them in satisfac-
tory condition.

Got His Man After Many Dars.

"Pll get him sooner or later" said
Capt. Ed w. Athey, of the West Vir-
ginia State penitentiary guards, speak
ing of Harry Milton, of Chicago, who
escaped from the prison at Mounds
vile about year ago. And Captain
Athey, who formerly lived in Shep-
herdstown, spoke the words of truth,
for within the past week Milton has
been returned to prison after enjoy
ing a year of freedom. 1t seems that
last summer during a benefit baseball
game at the prison, Milton, who had
gained the confidence of the guards
was taking Up the admissions TO the
game The contest waxed interesting,
and while no one was looking, he Slip
ped away from the prison yard with
the money he had collected His es-
cape was apparently great success.
Several months ago Captain Athev re-
signed to accept position in Wheel
ing. Last Friday as he was walking
down the street, he spied Milton. The
recognition was mutual, and the fuei-
tive sped awav, but Athey, not to be
outdone, pursued and captured him.
II is understood that Captain Athey
was popular with the men at Mounds
Vile. Known we'll in Shepherdstowr
as a baseball player. he organized
team among the prisoners, and IS said
to have had very creditable orga7i77-
ton.

Although 1t Is impossible TO make any

against the attacks of the long sea

like a foolish mind bet to wager that
Gregson will make somebody play q lot
of golf to beat him for the FIRST Long
Island amateur title. He lost strokes
yesterday on the putting green, but his
game through the fairway was accurate
and powerful.
Because of the severe penalties Inn
posed by the Lido course on the erratio
golfer. any one capable of consistent
sharpshooting has better than an even
chance. In the first round OF match

OF twirling a no-hit game against the

Bancroft, the first batter up for the
GIants in the third game of the series

credit for a hit that really should have

''Shufrin'" Phil Douglas. McGraw's

that under ordinary circumstances

much for the big Southerner to snatch
a victory out of the fire.
