BASE BALL NOTES.
When Westminster and Frederick City
come together in base ball contest, Western
Maryland would do well to make preparations
for another earthquake shock. baltimore

meet, and it will be the Frederick club drop
ping from its assumed position as champion
amateur club of the state.
The managers of the Westminster Base
Ball Club have been trying for two weeks to
arrange series of games with the Frederick
club, but have so far been unable to do SO.
Frederick don't want to have her succession
of victories broken. They would prefer to
meet easy victims like they have been playing.
Greer, the former left fielder of the West
minister club, is playing good ball on the
Athletic club, and is regarded as one of the
very best centre felders in the American As
ISOLATION. He has not only excited the ad-
miration of the lovers of the sport by his great
running catches, but has developed into a
good batter.
The Manchester, New Hampshire, club,
where Nicholas, the former catcher on the
Westminster club, has been playing this sea-
son, disbands next Thursday. Nicholas will
likely be home again by next Saturday or
Monday. He will spend the winter here and
will play few games on the Westminster
club His record this year has been excel
lent, and he will be quite an acquisition to the
club. Anders, Zepp and Nicholas will make
