Dillon vs.. Murphy.

When Hibernian meets Hibernian
then comes a tug in base ball.
This suit was brought to recover 50 I6,
alleged by Thomas G. Dillon, manager
of the Frostburg Baseball Club, to be
due by Thomas Murphy, manager of the
Midland Baseball Club, the amount be-
ing the dividend claimed by Mr.. Dillon
from the net proceeds of Il game played
at Midland Saturday, August ,.
The trial came on before justice
Chambers Friday evening of last week.
Mr.. Dillon, as his own attorney, found
himself pitted against Hon. David J.
Lewis, State Senator. counsel for Mr..
Murphy.
The latter went to the bat by asking
for pen and paper; took first base on
motion to dismiss on the ground that this
game should also be played at Midland,
Mr.. Murphy being resident of that
district-No. IS; aimed to get to second
on the allegation that the contract was
made there, therefore it was Mr.. Muir
phys right to be tried where he was
guilty, and not in "Big 26''
Mr.. Dillon replied by denying that the
contract was made in Midland. He
affirmed that it was constructed in Frost
burg, all the high parties concerned be
ing here ut the time. He further an
nounced that Mr. Murphy was the party
of the first part, seeking and soliciting
the agreement to play ii series of games,
and that he (Dillom of the second part
had accepted Murphy's challenge, all his
terms, and especially all his detis.
After a consultation with Mr.. Murphy
Mr.. Lewis told the umpire they had de-
cided that Murphy's attorney had been
caught off his base between second and
third. They dropped technically No. |.
"Well, then, gentlemen, are You ready
to proceed?" asked the judge.
Attorney Lewis did not deem it wise
to 90 on with a suit improperly brought
and which had no standing in jurispru-
dence. Ever sin, e the days of Justiniau
it had been understood that when a base

\ Pleasant Meeting.

The EpwOrth League rally, held at the
M. f. Church, South, this place, last
week, was genuine success.
THE Beautiful City, given by the
home Chapter Wednesday evening under
the instruction and direction of Miss
Jennie Scott and Isaac Kear, was very
fine. The characters portrayed were
Tlyr;m--Miss Pearl Bone.
T""hc'-Georgc Payne.

U,ssc"gcrs-Misses Lizzie Mcmillan, Eva
Rear, Lenorc Smith, Alice Jenkins, and

faultlessly.
Rev. J. c. Jeter, pastor, led a sunrise
prayer-service Thursday, which was
profitably enjoyed by large number.
At 1Oi, o'clock Rev. G. II. Cannon

The singing by the Piedmont choir,

Davis, of Piedmont, and the duet by the
Arnold Sisters, of Elk Garden, were rare
treats.
The paper read by Miss Edna Chad
wick, of Cumberland, on 1.-The Bad
Lacquer" was novel and very profitable.
Rev. J. G. Jeter gave a short talk on
"Whv Four Gospels 2" which was
listened to with great interest.
Rev. G.. T. ID. Collins, of Piedmont,
furnished much of the humor and enter
tainment which distinguished the oc-
casion. Young and old enjoyed his ap-
pearances very much. His son, five
years old, accompanied him.
The question box, conducted by the
president, was of unusual interest, the
local talent as well as the ministers tax
ing a very active part therein.
There was much work done. The
secretary, Miss jamie Scott, was kept
busy throughout.
The next service will be held at Cum
berland.
Fifteen new members We're added to
the roll.
Rev. &. r. ID. Collins offered a resolu-
ton extending thanks to the people of
Frostburg for the pleasant manner i'll
which they We're entertained, and Rev.
G. II. Cannon said that was the way
Frostburg people did things. They
treated him nicely for three years.

ball manager flunked, the funk pervaded
the bunch and involved every position i'll
and around the diamond; that one cannot
sue the manager without also suing the
right fielder, and so on. Dillon, he said,
had brought action against Murphy per-
sonally, which, III this case. had been a
legal impoSsibility ever since the time
the Greeks tried to throw the Romans in
the pond because of Nero's chronic habit
of holding on to all the stakes.
Mr.. Dillon took the floor and said
Murphy, as an individual, made the con-
tract, using the pronOun, 'T'-tirst per-
during the entire preceding. He Muir
phy) was Il Am" throughout, using it
with as much emphasis as if he said each
time Il Am It. Il will do this" or
Il will do that was his refrain. No
other party or parties We're ever men-
toned. He (Dillon) protested against be-
ing robbed. He had personally put up the
money for the expense of playing the
game, and knowing no other party i'll
the transaction naturally looked to Mr..
Murphy for the q"oto agreed upon for
the winning team, the sum in this case
being SOL .46, and now drawing interest.
He showed the absurdity of looking
beyond Mr.. Murphy for his money.
There was no regular team in Midland,
Mr.. Murphy's aggregation being a med
ley of pickup from around about Never
Seen and just before you get to Kittycat.
How could he bring action against peo-
pie in all those districts: Hey?
Here Murphy butted i'll over his attor
ney's head with the pointless statement
that I'm still ii part of the Midland club. :"
This drew from Dillon the unparlia-
mentary, if not irrelevant retort-'yOu re
no good; you re rotten" Mr.. Dillon ex-
plains this mishap, however, by stating
that in speaking to the Midland mama
ger the national language of his team
should be used in order that clear un-
derstanding of terms may be cOmmuni-
Gated. He says that when members of the
club down there fall out among them
selves over individual responsibility for
loss of games, etc, they speak to and of
each other us though the entire team was
a seething mass of wounds, bruises and
putrefying sores" What is worse, he
fears they learned this unfortunate lingo
from some newspaper that is more large
ly read down there than even the Cum
| berland Times and Homecoming star.
Judge Chambers decided that the suit
was improperly brought and according
ly dismissed it,
To those present it appeared that all
concerned in and with the Midland
| Baseball team were willing to admit that
| they are not responsible. Hence, they
We're afraid to proceed with the case on
its merits, as they awaited themselves of
| all the technicalities of the law in order
to avoid payment of the bill. This adj
mission took definite shape when Mr..
Lewis, advising Mr.. Dillon without re-
tainer, told the latter during the pro
ceedings that "it was his tDillon's mis-
fortune if he had made a contract with
irresponsible parties"
| Which proves that it was Midland s
fortune on the other hand to deal with
responsible people.
And which again reminds the JOUR
NAL that the wheel of fortune is like
other wheels-when one hemisphere
goes up, the other goes down.

Prize Fighting.


The Frostburg Ministerial Association
has addressed the following letter to
Hon. John c. Wilson, States attorney:
FRosTHURG, Mp, September s, 1902.
Dor Sr-At a regular meeting of the
Frostburg Ministerial Association, held this
afternoon, the matter of local prize-fights
was discussed, and unanimous action was
taken denouncing these sO-called Sparring
exhibitions, which are, III reality, exhibit
tons of barbarous brutality, calculated to
degenerate the youth of the community and
promote lawlessness.
Moreover, it was noted that the best cit
Zens are a unit in condemning these dcplO-
rable spectacles, which are being held up so
frequently of late before the eyes of the boys
and young men, and in wishing that some
legal steps may be taken to grant Frostburg
the needed relief from that which is so
dcmoralizng, and IN looking to the duly-ap-
pointed officers for Il prosecution of the
violatorS of the State law, if there be Il law
covering such cases.
The time has come, in the opinion of the
Association, when every lover of civic virtue
and nobility of manhood, whether Chris
tian or not ought to speak out and throw
the full weight of his influence against this
bruisng business. At any rate, we believe
enough sentiment hostile to it is manifest to
assure you as States attorney that the best
citizens of Frostburg will uphold you in an
effort to eradicate this evil.
Praying that God may bless you in your
efforts to promote the moral welfare of the
county, we are Yours respectfully.

III. :. ECKER. Secretary.

Dear Sir--Lead and oil is no longer the
paint to be prosperous with.
As everybody knows, lead and oil chalks
or powders off in about three years-three
years is its limit
Painters are putting little zinc in their
lead to make it fought lasts good three
years with Il little zinc.
But painters don't like the job of mixing
zinc. It's Il tedious job, and, both being
white, nobody knows when the mixing is
thorough. 1t gets halfmixed; and the paint
goes on, u streak of lead and streak of zinc.
That is not good work.
The mistake made is in trying to do by
hand what is better done by machinery
Hand work can't compete with machine
work

r. r. Sheffield, the fullDack. came
up from Princeton the other Sunday to
address the West Side Young Mems
| Christian association at Princeton, and
| In illustration Of one of his remarks he
told an interesting anecdOte of the
football field. Fisher, the giant center
of the Princeton team, was unable to
make the team at first, for, while he
had the requisite physique for fine
player he seemed to lack that essential
element known in football parlance as
"ginger."
I'VE could not understand this de-
fciency in him." said Mr.. Sheffield,
until one day in practice coach who
had kept his eye on him noticed that
he stopped and begged the pardon Of
his opponent for going at him in such
all enthusiastic fashion in one Of the
mass plays. Fishers fault was dis
covered. He was too polite. He had
always been very gentlemanly and
courteous off the field, but on the grid
iron there Is not room for much polite
ness"
Fisher was instructed to play hard
and clean and beg no mans pardon
for it. He obeyed and made the team.
