THURMONT LOSES TO
WOODSBORO, 10

The exhibition game between the
Thurmont and Woodsboro teams play
ed last Saturday on the local diamond
resulted in a shut out for the home
team. During the second half of
the first inning the game was halted
for more than a quarter of an hour
on account of the heavy windstorm
The dust clouds were so dense at
times that parts of the infield We're
practically invisible.
In the third inning two decisions on
the bases by one of the umpires were
so entirely out of keeping with clean
sport that he was removed and UNI
pire Root finished the game alone.
In the seventh inning one of Woods
boro's runs was secured through the
agency of blocked ball with a run
ner on third.
Everybody seemed to be hitting the
ball, but Woodsboro managed to put
them in safe places. Thurmont was
slugging them far out but they stay
ell in the air long enough for Woods
boro outfielders to get under them
Snappy fielding by both infelds feat
ured the game.

KELBAUGH PLAYING BALL

Western Maryland College baseball
team defeated Mt. St. Mary's club at
Mt. St. Mary's College last Saturday
afternoon, the first time in four years
it is said The score was to 2.
The splendid pitching of Dorseyfoi
Western Maryland was the deciding
factor in game featured by excellent
hurling. Baier, for Mt. St. Mary's,
was almost as good as his rival, but
did not receive as good support. Each
moundsman allowed three hits, three
of which were home runs. Kelbaugh
for Western Maryland, former star in
fielder for Thurmont high school and
outfelder on the Thurmont team of
the Frederick County League, and
Ruiz and Walsh, for the Mountaineers
smashed the apple for four-sack
ride.
The summary of the game shows
Kelbaugh credited with home run
sacrifice hit and also with being hit
with a pitched ball. He will be home
i'm short time from college and will
be a valuable addition to the Thur
mont Club.

CREAGERSTOWN BURNED NINE
YEARS AGO

Saturday, June 2, was the ninth an
niversary of the fire which almost
wiped out the town Of Creage:stown,
causing loss of between $4,000 and
100000.
The fire started in the engine room
of the Monocacy Valley Creamery
plant and destroyed this building, 10
or IL houses, the hotel owned by the
late H. jefferson Krise and a coach
shop. The flames quickly communi-
Gated from one building to the other
and made an almost clean sweep on
both sides of the street. Many per-
sons from Thurmont and other places
went to the scene and assisted as far
as possible, but on account of the
headway gained it was simply i'm
possible to check the flames until the
last building in its path had been re-
duced to ashes.
The day was excessively warm and
the heat from the burning buildings
was intense. One house after the 9TH
er fell a prey to the flames and with
great difficulty furniture and other
personal effects were saved. Since the
fire houses have been erected on all of
the former sites but two.

KILLED BY LIGHTNING DURING
SEVERE THUNDER STORM

Samuel T. Abrecht, Jr., son of Mr..
and Mrs. Samuel Abrecht, West Pat
rick street, was instantly killed, and
Miss Edith Winpigler, II, and her
brother, Roger Winpigler, about 25,
son and daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j.
H. Winpigler, Washington street, all
of Frederick city, were severely
shocked, by lightning during a storm
which swept over the eastern and
southern sections of the county, be-
tween 5 and o'clock Sunday after
noon.
Lightning also struck the wires of
the Potomac Public Service Company
near Braddock Heights and between
Lewistown and Frederick, cutting off
the current from Frederick, Jefferson,
Braddock Heights, Middletown, Myers
Vile, Creagerstown and Union Bridge.
The latter town was in darkness for
six hours, while Frederick, Middle
town, jefferson, Creagerstown and
Braddock were without light for an
hour and half. Myersville was in
darkness until midnight.
Vivid lightning and rain accompan-
led the storm. At point near Brad
dock lightning struck the current wire
and followed it to the SUBJ station on
the mountain. Insulators leading to
the station were destroyed and this i'm
mediately cut off the current. Linemen
were hastened to the locality of the
trouble and in an hour and half
made temporary REPAIRS which re-
stored the current to Frederick and
the adjoining towns except Myers
Vile. The damage between Lewis
town and Frederick, which put Union
Bridge in darkness, was not repaired
until toward midnight.
Young Abrecht and Miss Wingigler,
accompanied by Mr.. and Mrs. Roger
Winpigler and their infant son, and
Mrs. John Winpigler, motored to
Washington Sunday morning. On
their return trip they were overtaken
by storm at Ridgeville. The party
parked their machine and went to the
garage of Jacob Winebrenner for pro-
lection against the rain. Mr.. Abrecht
and Miss Winpigler stood at an open
window watching the storm,i while
the others in the party were in an
other part of the building. Suddenly
vivid flash of lightning struck a
large tree directly in front of the gar
age. The current ran down the body
of the ire and leaped to the window
sill, which was shattered. In an in
stant young Abrecht and Miss Win
pigler fell. When persons in the gar
age reached their side Mr.. Abrecht
was dead. The young woman was
unconscious, but soon revived. Roger
Winpigler, a short distanceaway, was
also stunned.
Young Abrecht was employed in the
busin es office of the News-Post. He
was a member af All Saints Church
and member of the Laymen's League
Besides his parents he is survived by
four sister, and two brothers.
