BASE BALL.
A Great Game.

The game last Saturday between the
Maryland Athletic club of Baltimore
and the Frostburg team will be long
remembered by the patrons of the
game here. The largest crowd of the
season greeted the teams when the
umpire called time at $50 p. m. The
grand stand looked a veritable flower
garden, as almost five hundred of
Frostburg's unapproachably fair
women graced the occasion. Most of
the male portion of the great audience
swarmed on the field and lined up five
and six deep from the back stop away
beyond first and third bases. The
greater and noiser crowd of roote1s,
equipped with horns, ETC., overlooked
the third base line.
AS the Baltimore team had won
Thursday from Meyersdale, and Fri
day from Homecoming, "Our Own" had
enjoyed a good opportunity to size up
their opponents, both manager and
players felt that the teams were about
equal in playing strength that if "Our
Own" could play its usual style and
do little batting, the game would be
won. The result proved their con-
clusion to be correct.
The rest of the thrilling story is left
to 1.-The Scorer
In the very first inning Jack, 1.-THE grand
old man''-he of the eagle eye, made three
base hit, bringing in a run that took the
breath out of some of the visitors. After that
"Our Own" played rings around the cham
pion amateur club of the State, and in the
seventh inning put a lead-pipe cinch on the
game by tallyng five runs on four hits and
three errors.
Wolf pitched as he never pitched before,
and only one of the visitors, Tucker, hit him
effectively, he having three hits two
baggers aud single, out of five times at the
bat.
Williams gave Wolf splendid support be-
hind the bat, his catching being one of the
best features of the game.
George Gunnett's left field playing was
truly git-edged. His double play in the last
inning was professional achievement The
crowd went almost wild with delight, as they
knew the game was won when they saw that
throw from deep left field go right into jack
hands on first base, completing the double
play and putting the last man out.
For the visitors Whtehurst, at short stop,
and Tucker, in left field, carried off the
honors both at the bat and in the field
Whitehurst is great intielder and covers
lots Of ground, while Tucker is one of the
best ut-felders ever seen here.
The score follows

PROSPECTUS.
The Frostburg management has arranged
for series of three games here with the Mid
land team, the first to be played this
Saturday afternoon at q o'clock; the second
on Saturday, 9th, and the third Saturday,
Sept 3D. The Midland club is strengthened
by several players of the Meyersdale team
and three good games are assured the patrons
of the Park. THE SCORER.
To the JOURNALS view the umpir-
ing Thursday was unfavorable to
Meyersdale, but that team took its
medicine and thereby most probably
lost the game. RI
The behavior of the Baltnhoreans in
the outset of Saturdays game pro-
ceeded on the assumption that "pro-
vision must noso be made for us to
win They wanted
l, To establish new ground rules,
and
3, Select one umpire-he their own.
To neither of which would Manager
Dillon, of course, assent.
The alteration between pitcher
Wolf and umpire Long was very I'M
fortunate occurrence. But for that
the visitors would not have a solitary
pretext on which they could hang the
semblance of dispute. A Lonacon-
ing gentleman summed this portion of
the situation up very judicially:
Wolf was right in his contention, but
wrong in his method of making it.
On Thursday Frostburg sympathized
with Meyersdale, but Meyersdale made
a poor return tor it on Saturday.
In the latter half of the glorious 9TH
Duke" wellknown Frostburg char
acter was struck by a whizzing foul,
whereupon he ''hollered OUT jumped
over the grand stand and was seen no

concerning just what Duke" re-
marked, some holding that he yelled

A Big Company Shirks.

M. Frost, agent for Adams Express
company, and E. P. Frost, clerk in
the Office, were arrested Tuesday at
Huntingdon, W. Va, and taken be-
fore United States Commissioner Bry-
an because they refused to stamp ex-
press receipts. They were held for
the United States grand jury under
$500 bond each. This does not look
we'll for the rich express company, at
whose instance the Messrs. Frost
doubtless acted. Everybody, rich and
poor alike, corporations especially,
should pay the taxes, and pay them
cheerfully. Mr.. Frost is son of the
late N. S. Frost, of this place.

Outplayed.

Col. Brent Waters, director of the
Maryland Athletic Clubs baseball
team, wrote very cheerfully of the
triumphant march of his aggregation
of amateurs to the Baltimore Ne,cs of
the 18th inst. Meyersdale had gone
down before them, and they awaited
onl y the revolutions of the wheels of
time to bring Homecoming and Frost
burg to bite the dust.
Indeed, as late as the next day he
said IN the Neacs:
The two victories we have secured over the
Meyersdale and Homecoming clubs has CON
WINGED them (Frostburgers) that their pets
won't have things all their own way, etc
Not only so, but
Our men consider this Saturday after
moons contest the game of the trip, are in
fine condition and fulof determination to cap
ture the honors for the third time, thus max
ing clean sweep for the Red and White,
After a proclamation like that, is it
not a little singular that director
Waters "Red and White should
come on the ground and, before a bail
was thrown, lay down conditions for
Frostburg that were not dictated for
Meyersdale nor Homecoming ?
For instance, was the eXaction of
new ground rules a part of the deter
mination" to WIN?
And the demand for only one UNI
pire, he their own-was that another
portion of their "determination to cap
ture the honors for the third time ?"
These are questions that may be
negatively answered to the Baltimore
audience, 200 miles away, but not tc
spectators on the ground.
The scorers record shows that Frost
burg earned | run in the first inning,
in the third, aud in the seventh
Baltimore | in the sixth, making the
score, exclusive of runs made on errors
Frostburg 4, Baltimore |.
The result is-the visiting team wa!
fairly, squarely and decisively heater
"a result from which there is no escape
no matter how rudely it snaps tn,
beautiful concentration of triumph
which had hitherto made the Athletic
path rosy broadway to Alexandria,
glory.

stu. They had gotten in all right for Thurs
days and Fridays games.
Mr.. Long may be "a perfect gentleman"
as we have been told time and time again
since last Thursday, but his umpiring, to say
the least, was yellow" The decision in
Thursdays game with Meyersdale was very
bad Here it is and all intelligent baseball
experts can judge for themselves
l.. L. (.
first and second bases were occupied by a
runner when the batter hit up an infield fly.
Rule As, section9, says-"Ifh he (the batsman)
hits fly ball that can be handled by an in
fielder while first and second bases are oc-
cuped or first, second and third with only
one out-in such cases the umpire shall as
soon as the ball is hit, declare infield or out
field hit, and the batsman is out
In the case here the first and second bases
were occupied; the nlield hit was made
| the runners on first and second bases started
for second and third respectively. Mr.. Long
| Justly declared the latter out but he very I'M
| justly declared the man who ran from second
to third out also, and put the man who ran
from first back on that base! Why he called
no one yet has found out. This decision cost
Meyersdale a run and possibly the game.
AS said above, Mr.. Long may be "a perfect
| gentleman" but he is very far from being a
perfect umpire.
As winners the Maryland Athletics are all
right As losers they are something different
All their talk about public protest was bluff OF
the checklist kind. They were beaten and
beaten fairly, and should as perfect gentle
men," congratulate their opponents This
they failed to do. For which we are sorry
as lack of such courtesy detracts very much
from their otherwise very pleasant visit.
However, we have no excuses to make, nc
apologies to offer. We did our best to make
their stay among us pleasant, but we coult
not make them present of the game on &

How to Look Good.-Good looks are
really more than skin deep, depending en-
tirely on a healthy condition of all the vital
organs. If the liver be inactive, you have a
bilious look if your stomach be disordered
you have dyspeptc look; if your kidneys
be affected you have pinched look. Secure
good health, and you will surely have good
looks. Electric Bitters' is a good Alternative
and Tonic. Acts directly on the stomach,
liver and kidneys. Purities the blood, cures
pimples, blotches and bois, and gives good
complexion. Every bottle guaranteed. Sold

The site of the new normal school for

With equal happiness and more

Beall's Park is the site for the Normal

of contention among several towns in this end
of the State we are glad it is to be located in
beautiful Frostburg. 1t will be another help
