Mt. ELLIOTT SPRINGS, July g.
With each recurring season old Vaiie
ty Springs has thrown wide it's hospi-

have gathered there in search of health
or pleasure. This season, under new
ownership, it makes its bow tOthe pull :
lie under a changed name-the Mount
Elliott Springs Company. 'UDcie
Sam" officially recognized it on July
LIST as one of his many postoffices, and
on that day the conductor on our tram
announced it generously and familiar
ly through the cars as we slowed up
beside the long platform. Quite a
number of passengers disembarked-
sufficient to warrant smile OF salts
faction from the conductor and brake
man in justification of the special stop
and the efforts they had Just made to
apprise us of the changed name.
From the station platform We looked
down as of yOre upon the sweeping
spread of green sward and handsome
shade trees that dotted the lawn. the
great verandas of the hotel and beyond
them the row of coy cattages. Stroll
ling about the walks were groups of
people, whose familiar faces we had
seen during past seasons, and received
the hearty greetings from them. we
had by custom learned to expect.
There were some physical i'm
provements noted about the place
itself made since last year, though to
the devotees of the place there did not
seem any that we're necessary to their
comfort or enjoyment.
The congenial co mpany, the quiet
ness of the peetty picturesque walks,
the peace and restfulness of the place,
the grandeur of the encircling noun
tains, combine to lend a charm to the
stay, lingering regret to those who
must depart. With the coming of
warmer days the large bathing pool is
a growing popularity, while the always
cool nights encourage those who would
linger to trip the light fantastic.tO the

height of season this last amusement
is more INDUCED in possibly and with
greater zest than most any other;
counting among its participants many
of the more sedate and of middle life,
who catching the gay spirit of their
juniors, join with them in merry cotll-

Midland now is not Midland of old in
baseball lines. Once that prosperous little
city was the proud possessor of a basebal
club which held its own with the best of
them, and better still, it was managed in a
true sportsmanlike manner. But. alas,
there has been Il great change. The Giants
have dcgeneratcd into Il sniilling, kicking
and quitting aggregation, with Il long yellow
streak down their backs. The truth of the
latter was demonstrated most forcibly
Saturday here in the game between the
locals and Midland. Umpire Curtis right
fully rendered Il decision, which caused Il
storm of objections from the visitors. and
this was followed by their starting off the
field The local management came to the
rescue and asked umpire Curtis to reverse
his decision, which he did and the Midland
players walked sheepishly back to their
bench under a terrific storm of lombard
ment from the bleachcrs.
Let Midland be not cast down nor
dismayed!
Let it not give up that all is lost when
the whangdoodle mourns or the yaller-
hammer knocks.
In short, let it take the paragraph
quoted, change mid to "Cumber," date
from September "a back to July l6, and
Cumberland to Frostburg!
In substance, the scene, incidents and
results were about the same, the adj
vantage remaining to Midland'S credit
inasmuch as Midland resumed play,
while Cumberland walked sheepishly"
off the ground.
Again the News says
Midland ended the season with Cumber-
land rather inglorouSly.
Again change "Mid" to"Cumber" and
substitute Frostburg for Cumberland. +"
Then remember that Cumberland
ended the season with Frostburg July Is
over two months before Midland closed
it with Cumberland.
The good Frostburg correspondent of
the .Nc~s wrote last Sunday:
local team is concerned, they playing their
last game with Homecoming at the latter
place Saturday afternoon.
The team has had very successful
season, winning more than two-thirdls of the
games played.
The team and management are justly
proud of their record and have nothing at
all to make them ashamed excepting two
games played in Fairmont. w. Va, on
Sunday.
Meanwhile, J. r. Poland, of Colby,
Kan, wants to debate the following ques-
ton before an intelligent audience with
any minister or student who desires to
support the negative side:
ReSolr,d That the Sabbath law was not
given at the creation of the world, was not
given for all time, was not given for all
people, but was given to the Jews, to the
Jews alone, and ceased to he binding after
the death of Christ.
The rivalry between Cumberland and
Frostburg promises to draw big crowds next
week. .Nc~s.
SO much the worse for Frostburg.
1t was old Senator Fessenden, of Con.
necticut, not Speaker Reed, who said
"the Almighty hates a quitter." But
what shall be said when one bunch of
baseball quitters scolds another bunch
for quitting!
Hence, will Cumberland "quit" at or
before the end Of the third game?
