Frostburg journeyed overland to
Meyersdale Saturday and crossed bats
with the team of that place in the de-
Gliding game of series of three, each
team having won game on Its own
grounds.
The contest was hard-fought one
from start to finish, marked by clean
hitting and sharp fielding on both
sides.
Meyersdale was retired in one, two,
three order until the third inning.
wnen It's batters guaged the South
Paw and opened up on him in lively
style. Singles by Williams, Hall and
Thomas, and a two-bagger each by
Matthews and Rely, assisted bya base
on balls, an error each by Frank
Spates and Olin Gunnett, gave them
seven runs and the game. The Penn
sylvanans were retired easily in the
next two innings, but managed to add
another in the sixth to their already
good lead on singles by Murphy and
Hall scoring Hetfiey, who gained "a
life on an error. This ended the run
getting of Meyersdale.
Frostburg went at them with will,
but was blanked until sixth. After
two men had been retired Wolf singled,
took second on Gerlach's hit and scored
on Colemans scorcher to right. This
seemed to put ginger in the home lads
and the boy Wonder" had no easy
time until the finish. They went at
him in the eighth in Trough Rider"
style and for time many were the
serious fears that rose in the hearts of
the Meyersdale rooters. Frank Spates
singled to left, Jack went out on a fly
to Rae, Wolf hit passed second and
Gerlach brought both in with homer,
the longest hit of the game. The next
two men made praiseworthy efforts but
could not repeat the performance. In
the ninth Jack made nice hit to right
after two men had been retired but
was left, this ending the game, leaving
the score to in favor of Meyersdale,
stated in detail below

Had it not been for the almost super
