| "and we always expected trouble; but Bal
timore was the choice place IN the circuit
| We used to figure but the schedule weeks
ahead and count the days before we would
| get to Orioletown. Our spirits would rise,
| and we'd play nl5re gingerly game when
| we could say, We'll, Baltimore next!
| Yes. we would rather have played the
| Orioles than any other club in the business.
| and we always liked the people in Balti-
| more. too. My! but we had some lively
| times down there. Twice, 1 remember. Te
| beau was arrested, and once, in one of the
Temple cup games, We were playing to
| about 1900 people at the old Huntington
| avenue grounds. we had to have mounted
| policemen to escort us all the way down
| to the hotel We won the game and we
| won the Temple cup On yes, those were
| good old times, ana they will probably
| never come again.
