Wednesday afternoon the Gladstone hotel
and the St. Cloud hotel played the second
game of the series and the team from the
growing end won by Il very good margin.
DR. DcNaouley, the twirler for the Glad
stone, did excellent work for his team. His
shoots, curves, Blenders and drops were of
the McGinnity variety and kept the heavy.
hittcrs of the st. Cloud guessing.
Bartolon, catcher, gave HIM good support,
and the whole team behind the doctor did
well.
Haverstick, in right-tield, distinguished
himself. Once he caught very difficult fly
and made a very pretty double play. He
also welded the willow with effect, making
hit every time at the bat and scoring two
runs.
Moore in center-feld, and Lilliebell Koch
on third base were pleasing figures.
Squire .IefIries, on second, did some great
stunts.
For the St Cloud the Dillon brothers
Alden and Fred, were in the points.
Dunn in center and Rice in lcft-feld
covered lots and lots of ground, and general
ly got the ball after it stopped rolling.
Irwin and Brown umpircd.

Owing to Manager Murphy's refusal to pay
Frostburg for the game played at Midland
August > the home team declines to play
there to-day Saturday as scheduled.
The umpire, John Tenant, awarded the
game to the Frostburg team in the ninth
inning, but Mr. Murphy informed the Frost
burg team that the umpire was not running
things down there. He (Murphy) is the
Great Am.
Mr.. Murphy is probably an honest man, IA
great financicr and base ball manager of
immense ability, but the Frostburg players
do not care to give him the second chance at
them
! wish YOU would kindly publish Mr.
Murphy's letter and thus give the supporters
of the FroStburg team an idea of the means
employed by Midland to keep the team out
of its wcll-earned triumph and pay. | will,
if possible, arrange for its publication next
week. Until then we will endeavOr to ar
range games elsewhere to fill out the season.
NOTES.
Away out in Montana, too the people
enjoy baseball, and | am glad to learn
through a dispatch from Great Falls to the
Helena independent of the 9Th inst. that
pupil of 'Our Own is Il star in that country.
A copy of the dispatch follows:
The Great Falls Baseball team defeated
the Boston and Montana Silver Smelter
team this afternoon by II score of II to at
Black Eagle park.
Oder, pitcher secured by the local team
from Fort Benton, won the game. Despite
a sore arm, he pitched six innings during
which the smeltermen could not find him
at all.
With the game safely in hand he retired
to rest the sore arm, which he stretched
severely in practice last night. The game
throughout was interesting.
Base ball is queer institution, isn't
it? Just think-Midland beat Frost
burg-raritied air and all, last Saturday,
and to-day, in all probability Vale Sum-
NIT or Midlothian could lay Midland
out in dozen hits and 8 runs
Midland players are very proud of
their triumph last Saturday, but good
many people in Frostburg believe it was
giren to them.
The band If the Midland red cap
would look we'll emblazoned with the
motto-"tO hell with the umpire"
