The Honorable. the weather man.
Jupiter surnamed Pluvius, stepped
in and put an end to an interesting
ball game here yesterday afternoon.
Cambridge happened to be leading
Crisfield by pair of markers when
the rain descended. and so our local
club was credited with its third
straight win.
Joe" Griggs was on the firing
line for Armstrong; huskies. and
kept Crisfields scattered until the
lucky seventh, when Carroll drove
one to left field for two bases and
Reifschnider scored him with anoth-
er double. Griggs held Reifschnei-
der at second while the next two bat
ters were going out, and Goetzel was
at bat when the> rain blew in.
The advent OF the showers made
the score revert back to the end CT
the sixth inning. costing Crisfield
one run and two two-base hits. Per
haps it saved lot OF worry Oh the
part of the fans who watched the
contest, but Griggs was still. out
there tossing them up. and the Cam
bridge boys were not worrying about
the outcome.
Yesterdays game was somewhat
devoid of thrills, The most Dut-
standing play was a catch, of high
foul deep in left field back of third
base by Bill" Johnson. This was
a catch the like of which is nOL often
seen. johnnie also made several
good stops, playing his customary
splendid game.
Jake" Flowers also fielded nicely
al shortstor, picking up several siz-
zlera and hustling them over TO
Doc" Dolan, who was always wait
Ing with arms out-stretched. There
are not many of them who get them
before the old Doctor, and he sure is
hitting that old apple on the nose.
Jack Bunting again caught
fine game. His work on fouls Is
deadly and his throwing keeps his
opponents anchored to their bases.
Swingler's finger is now almost re-
covered and he ma! be seen IN ac
ton any day.
The boys are fighting at Parksley
today, doing battle with the league
leaders The Virginians give the
locals two set-backs in close games
the last time the two clubs met, and
the boys are all set for revenge.
Should they win this contest. they
will be at least to l favOrite in
the following game here, and should
be in a position to march to the
front in fine style.
Manager Armstrong has put the
needed ginger and pep into the club.
and they are now right in the game
from start to finish and lighting all

The terms Of the treaty further show
that Germany and Russia have be-
tween themselves agreed upon many Of
The very points on which the main con-
ference is split.
Respective war claims Of the two
countries are cancelled. Russia valves
any claims ia German reparations. while
the Germans cancel their claims fer
losses through soviet naturalization pf
Germany's $ property or that OF German
citizens seized in Russid.
A clause in the treaty provides that
this cancellation is conditional upon
Russia 8 refusal to compensate any
ether countries.
Allied delegates declared the i'm
portance Of the Russo German agree.
ment, plans for which were laid in
Berlin when Tchitcherin passed through
on his way to Genoa, could not be over
emphasized.
This means that Russia at Genoa now
has the open backing Of Germany in
much OF which she stands for and that
ii the soviet delegation leaves summar-
lily it can still count upon relations
with Germany for commerce with the
outside world.
The German and Russian representa-
tives. got together at Rapallo on day
when the conference itself was ad-
journed and concluded their treaty
after Il brief session.
Existing treaties, snch as that of
Brest Litovosk, when the Bolshevik
surrendered ON condition Of no further
aggression by Germany, are superseded
by the present agreement. ~.
Disclosure of the private agreement
between Russia and Germany was des-
cribed as a bombshcll by many dele
gates.
The French delegation was particu-
iarly bitter and maintains that Ger.
many, BY renouncing her demands up
on Russia, places herself outside tho
Yalc Of the Genoa conference.

The new county film prepared by w.

shown for the first time locally at tho
Palace theater this noon. The audience
was restricted to members of the board
Of supervisors, newspaper representa-
tives, Irrigation District officials and
a few others specially interested whom
Mr.. Renfrew was able to reach by tele-
phone.
The film is the most comprehensive

titles are well written and selected with
good Judgment to bring out to the best
advantage the features which the coun-
ty is endeavoring to emphasize. Mr..
Renfrew displays the advertising ex-
pert S genius in combining the romantic
with the practical and weaves' together
the story of the conquest of the desert

Lumber Companies All Re-
port Increased Demand
Over Last Spring

A decided spirit of optimism regard
ing present and future building activ-
tiles III FL Centre prevails among local
building contractors and handlers of
material. Various Of these report bust
ness much better now than year ago
and all agree that the coming months
will bring a decided Improvement, with
more building along commercial and
residential lines than in any previous
period. This Improvement is not going
to be spasmodie furry, but sub
stantial PERMANENT and progressive
growth,
Emery Girard, who is making altera.
tions ON the new home Of the First Ma
.ional Bank, stated this morning that
plans are how being drawn for four
new business blocks on Boarlway be-
tween Fourth and Fifth streets, and
that three new residences are to be
erected in the south part Of the city,
including Il $1,000 home for DR.. 4. Du-
pont at Fifth and Sandalwood, which
will be equipped throughout with all
the modern electrical appliances. Mr.
Girard is also building the new home
of the Ten Thousand club ON. State
street, and though there has been q
slight delay due to inability to procure
timbers Of sufficient size, rapid pro
gress is being made and the work viii
be pushed TO the earliest possible com
pletion.
The new home of the Dodge agency
on Main street was recently remodeled
by l.. A. Thomas, general contractor.
Mr.. Thomas is altogether optimistic
over FL Centre building prospects, par
tcularly for this fall.
i'll. TraversaBith 1S years building
experience in Ell Centre, is at present
figuring on several commercial and
residential buildings and reports that
he is receiving inquiries every day from
people who are contemplating bhilding.
The humber companies all report bust
ness much better now than at this
time last year, as do also the stores
which handle interior finishings. j.
y. Ioofbnrfow, Of the Valley Lumber
company states that hardly day
passes without various parties who are
contemplating building, calling for fig
,ires on lumber.
An the real estate agents are active
and optimistic an dare constantly re-
cciving inquiries from visitors to the

property sales to people who intend
making their homes here.
With these conditions existing, and
all agreeing that a cantaloupc crop as
successful rs the lettuce, is in sight
which viii mean more money to the
farmer, the merchant and the working
man, it is concededly evident that FL
Contro is due to experience a building
spurt that viii be of real and lasting
