Silent Tom" jackson injured his
arm in the fifth inning, and he will not
be seen on the rubber again this
season. Tom is good pitcher and a
hard, honest player. The team will
surely miss his service, both IN the
field and at the bat, if his injury is as
serious as it now seems.
Coleman's play on second base was
very yellow" 1t demoralized the en-
tire in-field.
The only men to keep in the game
We're Williams, behind the bat, and
Gerlach, in left field. They played
the game as it should be and deserve
credit for it.
Prof. G. R. Daisy, manager of the
Cumberland baseball team, was here
Wednesday negotiating for series
of games. between Frostburg and
Cumberland for $50 side. If the
negotiations are successful the first
game will be played here next week.
Tom Smith, manager of the Iona
coming club, wanted the players of
both teams to be exclusively home
people. Frostburg complied with his
request, but Homecoming had johnson,
Of Piedmont, and Smith, of Midland.
If we play Piedmont johnson is on
the first base. IT we play Keyser, his
1.-THE and active figure graces the
initial bag, and when Homecoming
comes here, he is one of the ''erclusipely
home people," See ?
The Keyser Tribune says:
The Frostburg team is no SLOUGH. 1t puts
up good game.
The Homecoming Star makes two i'm
portant observations:
l, 1t goes without saying that excuses from
Frostburg will be more numerous than gem
uine.
The Star is mistaken, as the report
above given shows. The Frostburgers
could not play ball is the long and
short of it.
,, The game was devoid Of quarreling and
"kicking," and was for that reason appre-
ciated by ALL
That is easily accounted for. The
Homecoming team had everything it's
own way, hence the peaceable result.
Later.-Berlin touched Frostburg
Thursday for re-trial of strength,
and the story is told below by
humorous correspondent:
"Aha abe well l swami
Says |, 'tother day to brother john
"Our boys is gwine inter dry rot
En- thought they couldn't play whole lot
That wuz when they play'd Coney
But juwhillikins and waspwax.

Anyone in this town herein
What them boys done to Berlin?
Kin anyone tell?
Berlin, the club that left Just when defeat
stared it in the face sometime ago, came to
town Thursday to finish the doubtful game.
If there is anyone who entertains shadow
of a doubt about the outcome of the other
game we respectfully refer them to the rather
fulsome score to our boys credit-l4 to3.
They again came before us with not only
the pick of Western Pennsylvania, but they
secured the services of perhaps the best
players on the Homecoming nine-namely,
Pollock and Storey. But all of no avail.
They were not in evidence at any stage of the
game,
Leonard our new pitcher, handles warm
that cuts a brown groove into the
and makes the batter think he
has been passed by a cyclone.
David Williams receives from Leonard in
the prettiest style.
The next game will be with Iona
conlng-on Thursday, 10th inst. prob
ably. This will tie the two teams.
