 Elephants Raid Railway Station. We are used to stories of how an elephant occasionally upsets circus but it is rare we hear of an orgy of destruction like that which occurred in the Malay peninsula. A herd Of wild elephants attacked a railway station, pulling down the station masters kitchen and bathroom. They did the same to the clerks quarters and then tackled the station while the office force looked on from trees One elephant took off an automatic weigh ing machine as a souvenir of the raid but finding 1t heavy, threw it down on the track. One of the elephants trumpeted the recall and they all went back into the jungle except one who fell in a we'll and had to be cut out bv human aid, but was not detained By the time help arrived after gen. eral telegraphic alarm the huge beasts had entirely disappeared.-Scientitic | American.

the past season and Bcachley was the
weakest. Yet Beachley outhit both

ter, Crum had the best all-round rec
ord of the three and he is accordingly
selected for this berth.
The selection iof second sacker was
not an easy job. Two men outshone
all others who played this position
Roy Creeger, Thurmont, and Frizzell,
Emmitsburg. The latter. would seem
to have the edge, although either. one
would do credit to any amateur all

been given a berth on the team as util-
ity infieldef.
The selection of Eddie CreegeT for
the shortstop position was not a diff
cult job for the reason.that Smith, Mt.
Airy, and Bruce Legore,, Woodsboro,
did not play regularly with their re-
spective teams. Creeger easily OUT

ALL STAR BASEBALL TEAM

The Frederick Post has picked the
All Star team for the Frederick COun-
ty League. Below we give the names
and the Posts reasons for it's selection
Pitchers: Smith, Woodsboro; Hart

Rocks; P. Orrison, Brunswick; Riggs

Catehers: Hauver, Middletown; Wat

Picking an all star team for the
Frederick. County League, circuit
made up of teams representing eight
of the largest towns in Frederick
county, is no easy job. For every po
sition there was one man who wa!
Just about as good as the other. Wher'
one would shine in one department
another would excel in the other.
Especially was this true of thre'

in comparison with the others. These
five We're: Claude Orrison, Brunswick;
Leroy Barrick and Jim Legore, Woods
boro; Sam Amman, Emmitsburg, and
Harold Remsberg, Middletown. Bar
rick, Amman and Remsberg are the
three fastest outfielders, but of this
number Barrick alone hit above 300.
Both Claude Orrison and Jim Legore
slugged the pill for an average in ex-
cess of 400. Since hitting is so i'm
portant in an outfelder, they were ac-
cordingly given the preference ever
Remsberg andAnnan. Remsberg was
selected as utility outfelder in prefer
ence to Amman because he played in
more games than the Emmitsburger.
Since Eaton, of Thurmont, andCor-
nelius, of Brunswick, were able to play
every position on their respective
teams, even holding down the pitching
end of the game at times, they would
seem to be the logical selection for
utility men. Both being good hitters
either could be used as pinch hitters
when not in the game.
The selection Of battery men was
less difficult. Will Hauver, foxy, de-
pendable and still fashy, and Donald
Watkins, young and promising, make
pair of backstops that would be hard
to beat. They are, so to speak, in a
class to themselves and simply out
class all other county league catchers.
AS for the six twirlers it would be
hard to tell in which order they should
come outside the first two. Judged
by the record Lynn Smith was easily
the best hurler in the circuit last sea-
son and Hartsock was the second best
moundsman.
Sammie Freeze, Thurmont, the best
hurler in the circuit during the 1921
season in the opinion of most of the
followers of that league, was simply
mot there" during the past season.
He got off with a good start but as the
season wore on he simply went bad
and showed only occasional flashes of
his old self.
|. Although he didn't win single
game Bodie Cook, Jefferson, is selec-
ted as member of the, pitching staff.
The writer saw him work in a game
where the opposing team was credited
with IL hits and according to the rules
of the game, IL bingles were made off
his delivery. But of these IL hits
were fly balls which the outfielders
failed to get under. Had Cook had a
good outfeld back of him, it is the o.
pinion of the writer he would have ex-
celled all twirlers in the league eX-
cept, perhaps, Lynn Smith. For the
writer has been informed by the men
who umpired back of him that Bodie
received the same support in all his
games. He is the only member of his
team picked for the all-star team.

unnoticed are: R. Beachley, outfielder,

The Last Old Soldier

From the Hagerstown Mail
Say, boys have you heard what the newspapers say?
One hundred and fifty Old Soldiers a day,
Footsore and weary, have dropped at last,
Back the road where the column has passed.
Every week-seven days-keep the number in mind
Another full regiment tagging behind
We bid them goodbye with tear and a song,
And the column keeps steadily marching along
Every three weeks another brigade
Back in the quiet old churchyard is laid;
One look at the spot where they peacefully sleep,
And each in his place in the column must keep
Sixty days-a division forever at rest,
No pickets thrown out, foe will molest.
And let it be morning, at noon at night,
The column moves onward-s out of sight
Every six months full army corps
Goes into camp the furthermost shore;
No break in the coumn--the evening is damp,
But mind, boys, We'll be in camp
An army each year, and weary, l ween,
Sleeps meath the sod, with the grass growing green
~ An army complete, fifty thousand strong,
And tho column is still moving slowly along
Soon there will be but invalid corps
Of an army that numbered two millions more;
division, brigade, then regiment small,
Too feeble to note when comrade shall fall
At last but company, then platoon,
A few stragglers left; then soon OH too
We will read this small item: The today
That the last Old Soldier has just passed away.

Without u farewell word to the

Police Baffled in
Hunt for Slayer Z
of School Girl
Two Theories Considered in
Connection With Death of
Theresa McCarthy-Many
Boys Are Questioned.

New York, Dec. 27.-More than &c
cation the police confessed themselves
baffied in their search for a solution
of circumstances surrounding the
death OF Theresa Mccarthy, 10, school
girl, whose body with 20 caliber bull
let through the heart. was found in a
toy-littered room of her Brooklyn
home Tuesday.
The investigation sifted down to
two theories.
The first, the one considered most
credible by the police, was that the
child was accidentally shot by a play
mate who had been given a gun as a
Christmas present.
The second theory, which the po.
lice say they had little faith in, was
that the child was shot down by q
sailor of whom Theresa and several of
her girl friends had complained sew
eral weeks ago, declaring that he had
annoyed them.
grounds for the theory Of accidental
death. The medical examiner said the
girl had not been assaulted.
The bullet that passed through the
heart, he found, went straight through
the body. indicating that the gun
muzzle was on level with the child S
breast at the time Of the shot Pow
der marks on the clothes indicated
that the shot had been fired at close
range.
More than 100 boys living in the
neighborhood of the Mccarthy home
were questioned by the detectives in
search for one who might have re-
ceived a pistol or rifle as a Christmas
gift.
Tho police also re-examined the
girls father, Edward Mccarthy, a
painter and war veteran, who has been
separated from the girls mother,
Mrs. Pauline Mccarthy, for several
years. They declared he had success

Is Dying in Poverty;
Gaze Fortune to Poor

Chicago, Dec. 27.-Mrs. Bob Fitz-
simmons. or she who bore that name
when the freckled hero was king of
the squared circle, is in dire want.
The woman who has spent more than
100000 in aiding the down and outs,
who at one time pawned more than
$4,000 worth of jeyels that others in
need might be relieved. and who gave
up a fortune to preach the gospel of
mercy. love and good cheer, faces
a cherries new year.
Her health is broken and she is
slowly dying. Her name now is Mrs.
Tema Reiner. and she lives in a bare
little room up four flights of dingy
stairs on the west side. To make
matters worse. she has son 2
years old and a daughter l year old.
Her husband. Peter Reiner, earns
barely enough to live from handto-
mouth.
In 1916. she gave up life with the
former champion to become an
evangelist. Six years ago. when Bob
was dying, himself in want, she
abandoned everything to watch over
him in his last illness and pawned
enough jewels to pay his funeral ex'
penses. Meanwhile. she gave thou
sands to charity until now she is
subject Of charity herself.
