1t should be lost. The accountant
puts down l lost to Frostburg, when
there were two games played, both
won by Frostburg. If there was only
one played the spectators who paid to
see the game played which was not
| played should demand the return of
their money. But so far as we are
able to learn, and we have made some
inquiry, not demand has been made.
A word to the Frostburg Association.
Not another game should be played
with Cumberland, no matter what the
obligation or engagement, until it is
publicly admitted % that two games
have been played, and (2) that Frost
burg won both. Simple justice and a
decent sense of self respect demand it.
The Frostburg club will play Cum
berland this afternoon. Big mistake
even if we win.
Since writing the above we are au-
thorized by the Frostburg Associa-
ton to say that the game to-day is the
beginning of new series, the second
of which will be played here Wednes-
day afternoon next at 3 o'clock.
We infer from this that the old series
is an event of the past-Frostburg 2;
Cumberland 0.
Besides Robb, the Firearms pitcher,
our home club has been reinforced by
four other professionals.
AS the Cumberland nine has also
been heavily strengthened the prob
abilities favor a contest involving more
than ordinary skill and closeness.
Cumberland cs. Frostburg ;""Cum-
berland as. CINCINNATI" and "Cum-
berland us. st. Louis" Whew! aren't
we getting into societyg Will some
body head us9
Now, boys of Frostburg, for the
good old towns sake beat Cumberland
to-day and we will stand chock up
close and in line with Cincinnati and
St. Louis.
The Cumberland Times reports the
prevalence of an impression sin Fed
erick and Carroll counties that the
Cumberland club is loaded and liable
to explode in almost any game of ball"
And in Cumberland there IS suspic-
ion that the Frostburg club Is charged
with rend rock enough to blow up Sheol
Gate.
Personal.-The Parkersburg West
Va.) State Journal "learns with regret
that DR.. W. H. Ravenscraft will short
ly settle in Oakland, Md, near where
he formerly resided. The doctor is a
very pleasant, thoroughly cultured

hearty welcome ON his return to his old
State. He has many friends here who
will be sorry to learn of his intended
departure, and with them we wish him
success in his new field" The JOUR-

"could not stand it to live so fur off.
