(the scene i'll which the crown is offered
to CromwclD-is IA reproduction of the
costume worn by some great lady con
temporary with Cromwell, the original
of these being shown in the Palais de
Costume at the Exposition.
The costuming throug hout is intended
to be part of the great object-lesson in
history.
A good baseball team for FroStburg is
an assured fact for the coming season.
\ meeting of those interested We're held
at the st. Cloud hotel last Monday even
ing and considerable enthusiasm was
manifested.
The following champion players We're
present:
John Spatc>. Frank Spatcs
William Spatcs. DIN Gunnctt
Gcorgc Gunnctt. Owen Jackson.
Thomas jackson. George Coleman.
James Taylor. Philip Gerlach
Il. c. Dillon was elected president and
secretary, and Philip Gerlach treasurer
Everything vii, be done to make this
the very best team on Georges Creek,
and as the prr<onDH is genuinely Frost
burg, all at all interested i'll baseball in
this meek of woods" ought to be glad to
encourage the boys all they possibly can.
That the team can play good ball has
L Il
with the Spates boys back in their old
places on the team, il winning aggrega-
ton is pretty near ii certainty.
The management is already negotiating
with the very strong eastern Athletic
Club. of Washington, ID. c., for two
games here ON Decoration day, May 30
and the Atlantic" of Baltimore, has
written for dates. As it claims to be the
strongest amateur club in the State,
manager Dillon will endeavur to have it
here the latter part of June
Cumberland, it is said, will have IL
team this season. Already move in
this direction has been made by some
good people down there. 1t is hoped
they will be successful, us Cumberland,
with its 10000 people, ought to support
il first class ball team handsomely.
Homecoming will be Sin the push" as
Tom Smith assures everybody his will
be the very best ever got together in
"Coney."
Down in Piedmont Bob Chr is talk
ing baseball all the while and J. O. j.
Greene, the owner and manager of
Highland Park, will surely get together
club of good men. The grounds there
are in good condition, and the national
game is very poi u!ar, as was attested
last season.
The Midland fans are very quiet,
though, it is presumed, they will have a
good team. There are so many good
players in and around Midland that the
task of selecting good club is an easy
one. The encouragement given the boys
there is certainly great. The excellent
grounds, located almost in the center of
the town, gives every youth chance To
become IA good ball-player. So Midland
is quite sure to bob up with il pretty
good stack of players.
Our neighbors over the State line
Meyersdale and Berlin, are to have good
clubs, as they generally have.
In short, the outlook is most favorable
to good, close contests, and plenty of
them the coming season.
Concerning the SOL. 4G due the Frost
burg team by Midland:
Well, SO far no good intention is visi,
bic, and no intimatiOn has been heard
from down there concerning Frostburg'
claim for ii game won there August I'd
last. On this subject, however, Keno
writes beautifully and pathetically:
The merry yuletidc has come and cbbcd
The happy New Year, when everybody lie
tcrmmeS To do right, is ours, and yet q, yet ,
there are no tidngs from the land of Mid.
And SO on.
The JOURNAL understands that Il
strong sentiment averse to exchanging
games with Midland until the old score
issettled pervades the Frostburg manage
ment and team.
Ldtei'-"Keno'' adds to above:
With Il unanimity of action unparalleled
on any other proposition the boys congratu-
late John Spates, the teams great centre
fielder, upon his great catch of Thursday
May they live long and win many triumph>
! in the game of life
