And late into oblivion
See Hoey with understanding drop,
And those of whom we seldom hear,
Like Jackson, come out on top.
Metz, late of the Hartford, Atlantic
league team, played short stop for
Bedford. To him is due the credit for
saving his team from a shut-out.
O'Neal, of Cumberland, played third
base for Bedford and fielded the place
i'll good style. Crowley, the colored
contingent of the visitors, though a
heavy hitter, could do nothing with
Jack.
The home boys got at them" from
beginning to end. Their fielding was
right up to date. Coleman was every
place and some of his stops were pretty
shot stuff" The Gunnett brothers
played their positions like profession
ais and never lost a chance to make a
good play, while Gerlach got lots to
do and did it we'll. His batting was
all that could be desired. Dando,
Crow and Spates took in everything
that came their way. Spates' coach
ing put everyone in good humor.
The boys deserve the patronage so
liberalally given them and they hope
it will continue to the end of the
season.
To-day the team goes to Berlin, Pa,
to play the club of that place. They
left here last night and will return to-
night. Berlin has a pretty strong
team and play good ball. However.
the boys hope to come home with an
other triumph to their credit.
Next Saturday, Sept. 5, the Piedmont
club will play here, and as there will
be a great many visitors on that
day the management expects large
local crowd. The ladies will be adj
mitted free of charge, as usual, and
the "Americus" wagon will leave the
st. Cloud hotel every half hour, be-
ginning at | O'Clock p. m. All the
ladies will be hauled to the Park free
of charge. AS this is an extra induce
ment it is hoped that all the maids and
matrons will take advantage of it and
grace the affair with their presence.
Street improvements.
The dump of crushed stone on Main
c,tr Tho Nod Il Il
up quite nicely, but public opinion
upon the value of coal ashes AS a ce-
ment is as widely divi led as William
j. Bryan from Thomas jefferson.
Councilman Nickel is still partisan
of ashes and hangs to his view with a
zeal worthy of good cause. He per-
sonally superintends the distribution
of both stone and ashes.
Since the mention of the new pave
ment recently placed in front of Marx
Wineland's ''lron 'front.' a new gutter
has been added.
New and substantial pavements and
cutters have been laid in front of the
Stern property; Mrs. William Nc
Millan's and DR.. A. B. Prices crop
critics.
New bitches by George H. Wlttig,
Thomas G. Dillon and w. T. Kirby
have been laid.
Contracts have been issued for new
cutters fronting the St. Michael's
church, Ravenscroft Opera House and
D. F. McMullen residence properties.
Hint.
The JOURNAL has nothing to urge
upon 1.-The teachers of Frostburg and
vicinity concerning their action upon
the request of the Ministerial Associa-
ton.
1t will suggest, however, that the
teacher who attends strictly and solely
to the business for which he or she is
hired will most nearly comply with
his or her part of the contract and
give the least offence to all the bene-
ficiaries of his or her labor.
1t was not brave thing for the
higher authorities to shirk a decision
of the question and let the responsible
ity fall at last on the shoulders of
their dependents. Think, for instance,
of lot of great, oad-shouldered
men lodging a ticklish request and
leaving to some tender, timld girl,
whom they otherwise hold to such
strict account, the ordeal of facing an
issue which, in many communities, no
matter how she decides, is bound to
involve her in trouble!
Political.
The republican congressional con-
vention will be held in Oakland Sept. 8.
The county convention il Cumber,
land next Saturday, Sept. 5.
The primary conventions next Tues
day evening-in Frostburg from 7 to
8 o'clock.
Those of No. 4 will meet at the old
Central hotel; of No. u at Brode's,
corner of Main and Bowery.
