The base bali season having closed, a
brief review of the career during the late !
summer of the Mouptaineer Club of Eb-
eEsburg may not be thought out of place
The Mountaineer Club was organized
in 1866 1t played only two match games

rious, aud in the other of which it was
beaten by single run in the extraordina-
rily low score OF is to IL.
During the season just passed, the Club
played nine 6rst-nine games, and frac-
tional part of another. The measure of
success attending its efforts will more
fully and at large appear upon perusal of
what follows.

The fractional game spoken of was wit
the Juniatas of Hollidaysburg, in Ebens
burg, July 9Th. Only one inning wa
played, owing to the inSet,ing of violen
rain storm at that stage of the game
The one inning played resulted as follows
For the Mountaineers, runs; for til
= Juniatas, runs.
: IL will thus be seen that of nine frs
. class games played during the season
: eight resulted in favor of the Mountain
: eeUs, and ore against them. The tot
: number OF runs made by the Mouutaineel
! was 1856, to 254 runs made by all opp
:, nenis-or nearly two to enc in favor
= the Mountainee-s.
{ The Mountaioeer Club has made I
claims to the championship" and,
;; far as the writer hereof knows, does n
propose so to do. But the Club Co
. claim that it has won more games IL
&c season, and lost fewer, than any club We
ie of the mountains. And this claim il w
io defend against all cOGers.
~ All in all, the record Of the Noun oi
&c eer Club for 1867 is something of whi'
J u the people of Eoensburg may justly
proud. j.
