club, to 8.
The Westminster club, as stated above, de-
feated the Woodberry club on their own
grounds last Saturday, by score OF three to
one. and it was the closest game our club has
PLAYED this season. Abbott, the Woodberry
pitcher, was quite effective, and struck out
eight of the Westminsters. He was well sup
ported by Sullivan, the catcher, and by the
fielders, and the Westminsters did not score
at all until the seventh inning, when, by
punching their hits, they made three runs.
Driscoll and Nicholas formed the battery Tor
the Westminsters, and the club played well,
only three errors being entered up. Drseoi
struck out u of the Woodberrys. Irattiey,
of the Baltimores, who was furloughed to
nurse an injured hand, umpired the game,
and gave great satisfaction. The score by IN
nings was

Zecker took the cake in the Woodbury.
game last Saturday at the bat. He hit Abbott
for three bases One base was all the others
could get.
Greer is doing much better batting for the
Baltimores than he did for the Westminsters.
He never fails to make one or more base hits
now. When here his hits were rarely ever
safe and he oGsn struck out Probably he
believes in batting according to salary re-
ceived.
Bart. L. Cantz, who played centre field and
catch on the Littlestown club last year, has
been engaged by the Westminsters in the
place of Greer. He is a good catcher and
will cover as much ground in the left field as
Greer. He arrived here on Tuesday, and
will play his first game with the club to-mor-
row in Baltimore.
The Pastimes have plastered Baltimore
with posters announcing their game with the
Westminsters at Oriole Park to-day, at
O'Clock. They announce the Westminsters
famous amateur team, known as the 'Protes-
sional Annihilators. 2 They certainly have
annihilated every club they have met this
year. They are not professionals, however,
but they down professionals as well as anna
teurs.
The Westminsters will celebrate the 4th OF
July at Oriole Park, Baltimore, by thrashing
the Pastimes. On Monday they will do up
the New York Clothing House nine IN Baltl-
more, and then will start off on trip through
Pennsylvania. They will play at Harrisburg,
Allentown, Williamsport, Sunbury, Lockha-
ven, and perhaps other places. We shall
look for them to add further victories, and If
they have ordinary good luck they will win
every game.
How the Westminster club ever defeated
the Baltimores is a mystery. The Wood
berrys gave them q tough job and they made
narrow escape from defeat = Baltimore
NeauS. No mystery about it. In the first
place the Woodberrys played better game
than the Baltimores did, and in the second
place the Westminster club was not as strong
when it played the Woodberrys as it was
when it played the Baltimores. If the people
of Baltimore are not satisfied that the West
minister's can beat the Baltimores, let them
get the Orioles to invite them down and play
series of three games. If they do that we
will wager hat with the bald headed base ball
editor Of the NeloS that the Westminsters Will
win two of the three.
