The aegis & intelligencer. [volume] (Bel Air, Md.) 1864-1923, 1899-09-01

The Bel Air base ball team, accompanied by
large number of loyal rooters, went TO Tay
Tor last Saturday, and defeated the club OF
that place, by Il score of to 6, in an exciting
aud interesting game. The game was in doubt
until the last man had been retired in the
ninth inning, while the enthusiasm manifested
| by the large number OF spectators present will
| long be remembered as exceeding that wit
\ messed on any similar occasion. From the
| very first both teams were on their mettlc, and
gave little opportunity for run-getting, parti-
| cularly is this true after the IF inning, when
neither side scored run, the players going
| out in one, two, three order Bel Air scored
its seven runs on several good drives, aided by
one or two costly errors, while Taylor's runs
wee made altogether on costly errors at criti-
cal points by the Bel Air men, otherwise the
score would have been much smaller on both
sides The pitching of Richardson, for Bel
Air, was excellent, allowing his opponents
but few scattered hits and having eleven
strike outs to hi; credit. Weber caught him
in good style, aud his throwing to bases was
one Of the features of the game. Reckord, at
second, also played fine game, accepting a
number of difficult chances without an error.
For Taylor, Lawrence pitched good game,
but was hit very lively at certain stages of the
game, which resulted in several runs being
made by Bel Air. Tolley, in left, and Stsndi-
ford In right field deserve special mention for
their good playing, having a number OF diff
cult chances to contend with. Mr.. Clifford
ID. Rosan, of Bel Air, and Mr.. Standiford, Of
Taylor, umpired the game. Efforts are being
made to have the two teams meet again for a
third game, to be played September 9, on the
County Fair grounds, which, if brought about,
will give all lovers of the game an opportunity
to witness a most exciting contest.
A game was played on the Fair grounds, on
Friday afternoon, between the Bel Air Junior
Club and the Churchville team, resulting in a
victory for the visitors, the score being IS to
IA. The batteries were Hanwa2, Keen and B.
Rouse for Bel Air, aud Guppy and Bayless for
ChurchvllIe. Nelson Proctor distinguished
himself as second-base player.
The Bel Air team will play the Americans,
afternoon at $50 o'clock. Richard |
son and Weber will be the home battery.
