After supper most of the boys went out to
Earstown to see the great iron furnace loca-
ted there and operated by Hon. James. H.
Thropp, the present member of Congress for
the district. This is a great plant, just now
running to its full capacity, giving employ
ment to about 500 men.
Here manager Dillon met an old Cumber-
land friend who is managing the EarlstOwn
company store, and to him, manager Bidde
Howard Gump and ''mne host" Eckelbrger
of the Union Hotel, The Scorer desires to
extend thanks for courteous treatment ac-
corded all
1t is just also to assure all the good people
of Everett that our visit will be pleasantly
remembered long after the base ball season
closes and the bluebirds cease to whistle.
We arrived in Huntington Friday morn
ing at 10 and found the game well advertised
for that afternoon. r. l.. Worsing, the
manager of the Huntingdon club, is base
ball magnate over there. He is to baseball
in the Juniata valley what John T. Brush
is to the National League-"a high muck a.
muck and a hustler from away back
The Huntington club certainly have fine
grounds, not a stones throw from the depot
of the Pennsylvania and Huntington and
BrOadtop railroad. 1t can be reached in five
minutes walk from the business portion of
the town; is enclosed and has an elegant
grand stand which will seat about 500 people
comfortably.
The day was an ideal one for baseball and
our friend Worsing, having got together an
aggregation from all the towns along the line
of the H. and b. T. K. R., felt sure of a
victory. Tate, Jones and Hartzell, of Everett;
Clymer and Ashburn, of SaXton; Port, Nc
Cahan, Reed and Gilbert, of Huntingdon,
comprised the team that was expected to
knock "smithereens" out of the Mary landers
Port, the south-paw twIrler, whom Frost
burg patrons saw here, was in the pitchers
square for the home team, and up to the 9th
inning delivered good ball McCahan caught
him well, and the team behind him
played good ball. The rooters and fans were
out in full force and things looked decidedly
blue for the Maryland boys. 1t was neck
and-neck all through the game and when
the 9th inning began it was ethers game, as
the score stood to 3, with the mob bowling
like mad.
Right here Our Own" made up their minds
that they hat to hare His game, as they need
ed it in their business of making a good rec
ord to carry home. George Gunnett was the
first man up, and as he has been batting in
good form right along all Maryland felt that
the hour and the man had met. The old
State was not disappointed. George made a
hit, stole second and scored on a single by
Coleman. Then Luskey followed with a
home run to left field, scoring Coleman and
himself. After that things were easy, as the
Pennsylvanians had gone to look for Andres
balloon and stayed there till Maryland scored
ming.

Three Triumphs.

The Frostburgers. taking on the big
stature of 'Marylanders, invaded the
old keystone" last week, fought three
battles and came home crowned with
the aurels of three victories
The Scorer" is permitted to tell the
story more in detail
Last week will go down in Frostburg base
ball history as red-letter period-one that
will be remembered by the team as well as
by their friends and rooters long as they
live.
The team left Thursday morning to play
three games along the line of the Hunting
don and Broadtop railroad-the first in the
busy, hustling town of Everett.
Arrived in Everett about 10 o'clock same
day and were welcomed among strangers by
our whole-souled former fellow. townsman,
Sam Wenn, who informed us we were to go
up against pretty hard proposition that
afternoon as the Everett club had played IL
games SO far this season and had II victories
to their credit. So their percentage was even
greater than the Midland Press accords the
great Murphy gang from Blufftown.
After dinner with mine host of the Quinn
Hotel we adjourned to the grounds to begin
the contest.
The grounds are located almost on the
banks of the Raystown branch of the
blue Juniata"
Almost the whole population turned out to
the game and to be disappointed in seeing
their team get the first defeat of the season.
Holderbaum, of Bedford pitched for
Everett, and Our Own found him easy
Oler gave him good support behind the bat
the in-tield playing on third seemed poor.
For "Our Own every man played good ball
and did his full duty. Warren pitched an
excellect game, allowing only six hits
Lusky is a catcher par excellence, and his throw
ing opened the eyes of the PennsylvanIans.
Coleman, Frank Spates, George and DIN
Gunnett played the in-Iield in top-notch
style. Powers, Williams and John Spates,
in the out-tield, were in the running all the
while.
Mr.. Hill. of Everett, and James Tenant,
of Frostburg, umpired the game in very
satisfactory manner.

The second game with Huntingdon was
played Saturday afternoon. 1t was scheduled
to begin at 3 O'Clock. About 2 the rain,
threatening all day, came down in shower.
On this account the attendance was kept
down to about half of that on Friday. A
great many thought there would be no game,
as the grounds were very wet. The manage
ment decided, however, to play, rain or no
rain, and the umpire called play ball"
William Spates was put in the box for
Maryland and covered his native State all
over with glory, allowing the heavy hltters
of the Huntingdon team only 5 hits, and
striking out 8 men-a record he may well
feel proud Of Lusky, as usual, supported
him finely, and the boys in the in-lield were
in the running from Alpha to Omega.
