Collegians Win and I,ose.
Last Friday night the team rcpre
senting Cumberland Valley State Normal
School of Emmittsburg, Pa., came
to town and engaged our Collegians in
a game of basketball. The game was
hard fought, the first half standing 23
to 17 in favor of the visitors. The
locals were off form in every department,
aad consequently the lads from
the Keystone State had little trouble
in running up the score in the last
half. In their left forward the Normal
School has a fast and aggressive
man. During the course *>f the evening
he caged the leather ten times.
The local team was shooting some itself,
nearly everyone on the team
getting three or four goals. The final
score was 60 to 35.
Last night the Collegians journeyed
to Hagerstown and took the measure
of the Elks' Club, of that place, 22 to
11. The first half of the game was
slowed up a good deal by the referee,
who called 19 fouls on the Collegians,
and the best that the Elks' marksman
could do out of the 19 was 1. Then
Rush shot three straight goals, Melester
came through with one from
guard, and Moler tossed in a fouli
The first half ended 9 to 5 in favor
of Shepherdstown. At the start of tho
second half the Collegians pulled
themselves together and ran the score
up to 16 before the Maryland contingent
could register one lone point
from the foul line. We then got in
some good pass work and drove tho
enemy to cover, using our five-man
defense, thus farcing them to shoot
long shots. They were not very accurate,
and only secured one goal by
this method. Rush played an exceptionally
good game at center, easily
getting the tip off of four different men
that were sent against him. In fact,
the whole team nlaved well nnre thev
got under way and acclimated themselves
to the splendid floor in the new
Y. M. C. A. building.
Friday night at 8 o'clock the Waynesboro
Alpha Club will play the local
team in the community building. This
team is one of the very best in Southern
Pennsylvania. They defeated the
home club in the opening game of the
season, and we are going to try to
even the count with them Friday night.
Last year we tied with them in the
number of games played.
Farm Fires.
An estimated loss of $40,000 was
caused by fire about 6 o'clock last Monday
evening when it destroyed a hay
bam, silo, cattle barn, horse barn and
a dorn crib, together with 30 head olj
registered cattle, including a $3,000
Guernsey bull, 14 head of valuable
horses, 1,200 bushels of wheat, several
tons of hay, a large quantity of
corn, wagons and farming implements,
harness, etc., on the farm of J. Forney
Young, near Hagerstown, tenanted by
Roy Stouffer. A hog pen was the
only building actually saved, together
with a few hogs, a number of sheep
and four horses, which were led from
the burning buildings. The fire wa?f
one of the most spectacular that has
occurred in that section for some time.
Hundreds flocked to the scene from Hagerstown
and the vicinity. The sky
was brightly illuminated for miles. A
line of automobiles a mile long crowded
the pike leading to the farm. The
origin of the blaze cannot be determined.
Many theories are advanced,
among them that it was started by
tramps. This is the second time that
fire has visited the farm, the barn having
been destroyed eleven years ago.
Fire Monday night destroyed the
barn on the Bishop place near Ganotown,
in Berkeley county, the contents
belonging to H. L. Stotlcr. About
500 bushels of corn was lost and several
hogs burned to death.
Mr. James W. Rothwell, formerly
of Martinsburg, now of New York, and
Mrs. Eleanor Josephine Conk, of the
latter city, were married last Thursday.
The groom is a son of the late
C. P. Rothwell, a cold storage man of
Martinsburg and prominent in business
there.
IN MEMOR1AM.
MILLER?In loving memory of our
dear sister. Emma Lee Miller < Mamie>.
daughter of the late John T. and Mary
C. Miller, who entered into rest February

A sincere Christian, she lived hef
religion, and her life was one of sacrifice,
self-denial and devotion to duty
and high ideals. She was a devoted
daughter, sister and faithful friend,
and though quiet and unassuming, she
injected her personality into the lives
around her, and by her unfailing interest
and uniform cheerfu'ncss and
reliance on God radiated happiness and j
harmony. She was loved and revered
as a mother by her younger sisters
and brothers, and they will ever cherish
her memory.
