RAsE BALL NOTES.


About twenty residents of Mechanicstown
visited Westminster on Monday to witness the
game between the Orioles and Westminsters.
Among them was Chas. E. Cassell, Esq,
editor of the Clarion.
The Westminsters go to Woodberry to day
to play return game with the club there. On
the 4th of July the Westminsters will play the
Pastimes at Oriole Park, Baltimore. Some
time in July the club will take week S trip
to Harrisburg, Williamsport and Lockhaven,
Pa, and play about four games.
The Baltimore american of Tuesday said:
"The Westminster Base Ball Club defeated
the Baltimores yesterday by a score of nine
to seven. From all reports 1t was we'll
earned victory. The Westminster nine has
an unusually good record this season, and
this big triumph only the more clearly shows
the excellence of its material.
Several of the Baltimore club did not like
Barnie's engagement of Greer, and on We'd
nesday in the game with the Athletics, when
Greer caught Emslie, they made many errors
in order to lose the game and throw odlum on
the new player. Emslie and Manning were
discharged Immediately after the game and
Casey suspended with fine.
The boys tell a joke on Nicholas, the West
minister catcher, to the effect that if the West
minister's get defeated his better halt will not
give him any supper on that day. Conse-
quently, when the tide seems to be against
the club, it is often heard on the grounds,
freddy won't get any supper tonight"
Reddy hasn't lost any suppers so far, and is
not likely to, unless much stronger clubs
come here.
Manager Barnie has persuaded Greer away
from the Westminster team, but got his club
soundly thrashed the first time Greer played.
Greer is good player, but he is not whole
club himself One Westminster player can't
make the Orioles good club, Mr. Barnie.
You will have to take the whole nine if you
expect to play we'll If you had the West
minister club you could win the pennant IN
the American Association.
Now let Baltimore swap base ball clubs
with Westminster. = Baltimore american
No; thank you. We can't swap; but we have
no objection to loaning Baltimore few play
ers from the many good ones in this town, or
we will take pleasure in giving the Orioles
few lessons in ball playing. We could fur
nish whole nine from the odd players about
town, and if necessary we might be able to
organize whole association for Barnle.
The Baltimore Herald says 'We do not
doubt that some very cruel people will sug-
gest that Manager Barnie could make money
pANANSStSAitNA
players and engaging the amateur team at
Westminster Mr.. Barnie should not be dis
couraged in this way. If he be given half a
chance he will probably succeed before the
season is over in training his professionals
until they can play just as well as any anna
tours in Maryland"
Sporting Life, of June "a, in its depart
ment of ''Notes and Comments,' says: The
Westminster Md, Club on the 18th and 18th
beat the Harrisburg, Pa, Club by to Z and
to 3 Their heads are now swelled and
they actually expect to beat the Baltimore
Americans on Monday" This is very read
able paragraph, in view of the signal victory
for the Westminster Club, on Monday, and
oceasioned more laughter, on Monday even
ing, at the expense of Sporting Life, than
long time What will Sporting Life have
