The Tailors' defeat of the Bakers re-
Gently has occasioncd more or less of the
usual back talk III such cases-talk in
which the big conjunction, eff, = figures
i'll more or less degree. The Bakers, it
Is said, have organized sort of war de-
partment having for its object the in
stitution of cHsUS beW for another trial
of skill and speed. In other words, they
want to "pull the buds off the Tailors
and soak en- i'll eye-watcr." A Tailor,
responding to this, told the JOURNAL
Its no use; they can't do it. Fact is,
them fellers have less ginger i'll the cake
and less alum to the spoonful than any
other baking powder | know Of The
JOURNAL hopes for the best.
''The Scorer" having heard there
would be a game at the Driving Park
last Saturday, attended, of course, and
below he writes about it to the paper
that is great
When cherries grow on apple trees,
And kittens wear lace caps,
When boys their sisters never tease
And bears wear wooden wraps;
When all the nursery dolls and toys
Begin to dance and play,
Then little boys and little girls
May lie in bed all day.
When donkeys learn to sing and dance,
When pigs talk politics.
When Frostburg is town in France,
When two and two make six;
When drops of rain are real pearls
When coal is clear of bone
Lonaconing's boys-and girls
May overcome "Our Own"
Tom" Smiths bunch of remnants from
Homecoming put in their appearance, as an
nounced, and the local team turned the trick
on them in good form.
Just now the home team is putting up
game that is mighty hard to beat They are
all right in every department, and the team
that wins from them will certainly know
they were playing ball.
William Spates did the twirling. He had
curves, speed shoots Blenders, Judgment
everything that goes to make good pitcher,
and all the while he was steady as a cart
horse.
Jackson, catcher, was not at his best, though
on the whole he played good game.
Capt. Mooney Gunnett and Frank Spates
played fast ball in fact, they made things
smoke around third base and were in the
running from start to finish.
George Gunnett on first, played an excel
lent game. Besides, he welded the willow
with telling effect.
Coleman figured in double play that was
fast and furious. and he covered the ground
around second base with an omnipresence
that won all hearts.
Spates, Jim" Jackson and Gerlach played
the out field in good form and filled their
positions like 'top-notchers."
Hall, of Buchanan, w. Va, pitched for the
visitors. Hei a tall, lank, light.haired youth,
and it was said by the "Coney" rooters be-
fore the game that he could turn a base ball
into an aerial pretzel. He affects a kind of
wind her-up' Flanagan swing that the
boys got on to early in the action and they
stole bases with cuteness and impunity. He
has Il Killaloo bird style of delivery flies up
INTO the air for a certain distance flies down
again and then lets the ball go whittier it
lsteth In fact, he is good pitcher, though
he assumes too many frills and fills the blond
atmosphere which environs him with IA few
too many tufts. Metz, the catcher Is a
veteran who caught some good games around
here in the early seventies. 1t is time he
was put on the retired list. His days of Use
fulness as a ball-player are past.
Mctiee, at first, played good ball. He is a
player who never gives up till the last man
is out and is always in the game while it
lasts.
Brady, in left-feld, at times looked like
fat Ir 'sh lord jumping aloft in rye field to
catch sight of Belgian hare. At other times
he appears to be diving into mother earth to
pull out ground hog. But it wasn't Brady's
fault after all that the Frostburg boys won.
He did his latest best which was very good.
He hit the ball hard and often; had the best
batting record on either team as out of four
times he made three clear hits.
Williams, of Midland, played left field in
his usually good style and COsgrove at short,
is player liability
Dr. DeNaoulCy umpircd the game and his
decisions were generally satisfactory. He
knows the game in all its details and gives
his decisions without fear or favor, as they
should be gwen.
