Western Maryland College Baseball Club
on Saturday last administered drubbing to
Pennsylvania College, Baseball Club of Get
tysburg on the grounds OF the former by a
score of II to 4.
The principal features of the game were
the hitting by Keefer OF the visiting team, the
terrific smuggling of Frank Miller, member
of the recently organized Westminster team,
and the daring, though successful, base rum
ming of Stull.
Although the visitors made as many hits as
the home team, they showed their inability
to hit Sellman when hits were needed.
The most remarkable feature of the game
was phenomenal catch by Frank Miller Of a
high foul fly in the fifth inning.
The decisions by Mr. Grouse gave entire
satisfaction, as there was not a single dispute
during the game.
