Outdoor Sports.
RAsE HALL


The Westminster Base Ball Club went to
Taneytown on Tuesday and defeated the club
of that place by score of % to 20. The
game was full of amusement for the speeta
tors, the principal features being hunting for
the ball in the high grass and Imaginable er
rors. Most any kind OF batted ball was a hit,
and home runs were made on balls that did
not get out Of the diamond. The ground was
lovely for the kind of game played. The
home plate was in hollow, the pitcher on a
hill, and only the heads of the out6elders
could be seen above the grass. The left
fielders could not see the catchers at all, and
if one got ball he had to guess where the
home plate was. The score shows that the
clubs played ball. The ladies' of Taneytown
got up q very handsome bouquet of flowers
and presented it 10 the winning club. The
Westminster boys came out victorious, after
IA hard struggle The Westminster boys bat
ted hard and won the game after the seventh
inning by steady playing Both home pitch
ers were hit hard. A noteworthy feature was
the great pitching of Gait, who struck out 13
men. Bankert struck out and Rinedolar l..
