of the players of the world are banded
together. forming an aggregation such
as would invariably prove pennant
winners year after year. Such is the
makeup of the All-America team -
every player Il star.
The captain is to be p. Tebeau,
present manager of the Cleveland
team, who will protect first base.
The catchers will be Donohoe, of
Chicago, and Alex. Smith, of Brooklyn,
the latter of which is able to play any
position Oh the team. he having shown
this season how nicely he can hold
down first base for the Brooklyns.
Powell, Of Chicago, Hastings, of
Pittsburg, and Dunkel, of Phlladel-
phia. will do the twirling. and the
will have chance to test their skill
and show their powers, Powell being
very strong against the Baltimores,
having shut them out this season.
Collins, Stahl and possibly Duffy-all

the in field, has built up great repu-
tation by his brilliant work for his
club.
Bill Lange, of Chicago, will play in

that honor.
Mr.. Eine says the pitchers selected
are all young, capable and willing to
do good, hard work, and even though
they should at times be hit up bit, it
will 60 to show just how strong the
balance of the players are, each hav-
ing plenty of work to do in his PAL
ticular position, and showing also just
why they have been entered into the
class of stars. He promises that the
Frostburg audience will be strung up
with excitement by the numberless
brilliant plays, necessarily brought on
IN a contest of the two strongest base
ball .eams that it is possible to get TO-
gether.
He also feels confident that ere their
arrival here the Batimores will once
more have won the Temple Cup, show
ing that if it had not been for the re-
markable run of bad luck and accl-
dents happening them during the en-
tire season, that they would now be
four-time champions instead of three
losing as they did, by the close margin
of about only one game.
Now, people, get together and show
Messrs. Selee, Barnie and Eline that
the enterprise of Frostburg is appre-
ciated, Frostburg being the only small
city lucky enough to get this attrac-
ton after having been compelled to
put up a heavy cash bonus as u guar
antee for the game.
Each OF the players signed with both
teams has deposited $500 with the
managers as Il guarantee that he will
at all times put up the proper article
of ball necessary for the continued
success of the enterprise.
Council Meeting.
Mayor Bear and Messrs. Nickel,
Shuckhart and Griffith were present
Monday evening when Clerk Mason
called the roll.
When the minutes were being read
only two lights were burning, but be
fore reading was concluded D. D..
Price came in with a pocket-full of
globes. two of which failed to burn.
When Clerk Mason had concluded
reading the minutes Mr.. Nickel was
promptly on his feet claiming that the
record contained matters never acted
upon by Council. Not only so--what
was recorded did not conform to what
Council had ordered in its acceptance
of the Electric light contract.
The Mayor, always prompt with eX-
plantations. claimed that the Irregular
ity was caused 10y Mr.. Nickel's indis-
position to hear the contract read at
the last meeting.
Mr.. Nickel responded that the read
ing of that contract was not a question
at the last meeting. but only the ques-
ton of whether it should be recorded,
and even that went by default, because
Council took no action. He contended
that no instrument of the kind was
subject to record until it had been re-
ported and ratified by the Council.
When he took his seat not a word Of
response came from anyone, not even
the Mayor.
A fter a few moments of silence that
could be felt the Mayor declared the
minutes correct as read.
Reports Of officers and committees
were promptly taken up.
