The afternoon game was with Mt. St..
Mary's and then the boys received their first
defeat of the season. The defeat may be
attributed to the fact that the boys were

too great lead. The score:

On Tuesday the Union Bridge Club came
to town bringing with them the mighty
pitcher Whitehill, which made our boys q
little nervous at first, and consequently very
loose playing the first several innings but
our boys soon learned that although he had
pitched successfully against college teams,
he was not 80 much 70 be feared, and took
a BRACE but it was too late to win out.
The score:
Union Bridge .......O2 6 8 1 0 0 0 O--14
Thurmont ..........2 O0O7 O-10
Struck out-Ry II. Chew, s. Base on balls

Our boys are fond of the sport and while
our team is good, they are light also lack the
proper management, and until n captain is
selected and players secured willing TO be
governed by that captain, they need not ex.
pect to win games from well disciplined
teams.
On Friday afternoon the Sons and Daugh.
ters of America will cross bats and it Is more
than likely we will be treated to q burlesque
on baseball. Next week the married men
will play the non playing single men.
There are plenty of baseball rumors afloat
and it is more than likely Wigville will try
to buy the franchise of one of our clubs and
transfer the club to that place. Now, boys.
don't sell out! Keep all the honor here.
