MIDLAND vs.. FRoSrBURG,

MIDLAND vs.. FRoSTBURG.
The game at Midland last Saturday
between "Our Own" and the Dr. Car
penter aggregation was pretty hot
affair, and the FrOstburg rOOters got a
tremendous scare. 1t was this way:
In the last half of the ninth inning,
with the score ! to 3 in FrOstburg $
favor, it looked like all was over but the
shouting and that Frostburg would win.
But "things are not always what they
seem" and the Midland boys proved con-
clusively that the game is never over till
the last man is out. Haden was the first
man up i'll the last half of the ninth.
He hit to middle-tield and got to second.
Robinson followed with hit scoring
Haden. Ribold followed with another
hit scoring Robinson. Beckett hit in far
left field, putting Ribold on third him.
self on second, and Harris followed with
a hit scoring Ribold, putting Beckett on
third, himself on second.
1t looked now as if it We're all over for
Frostburg with three runs in, a man on
second and third, and no one out, it was
dollars to doughnuts that the Midland
team would surely do the shouting and
pull victory from the jaws of defeat.
The rooters and fans We're along the
line giving every encouragement tO.the
batters to "hit her out"
But the heroic bunch from this good
old town never says die" They are
not "quitters,' and never surrender I'M
til the last wad in the caissOn is gone.

The Fairlncnt (W. Va.) Times draws
a comparison. 1t says Piedmont is not
as good loser as the Frostburg team.
On Sunday after the close game, there
was nothing but kind words and praise
from the visitors, and good words for the
ball playing done by the local boys
against their star pitcher. AT Mt. Lake
Park on Tuesday, after Piedmont had
been so badly beaten i'll the morning
game they only desired an excuse to pull
out of the afternoon game and thereby
possibly save their reputation, or what
remained of it after the 1J-l game
SANE OLD THING.
Cumberland played two games with
Johnstown, Pa, at latter city last Satur-
day, winning one, losing the other.
Concerning the latter the .News is sore at
scorers" correspondents" etc.
Fact is, as matter of Cumberland
justice, equity, righteousness, temper
ance, and Judgment to come,' it is
wicked to beat Cumberland. And this
was rs much the case Is years ago as now.
Looking back through JOURNAL files
for veritication of another imposition
upon Cumberland an account of game
between Cumberland and JOhnstown,
played at Meyersdale August II, 1886,
was found. Cumberland played the
losing end of score of 10 to 8. Both
the .Ncmx and Times, agreeing upon no
thing else, charged the umpire with
gross Partially to Johnstown. Where
upon the JOURNAL quoted the following
lines:
There's a symmetry of notion
TO my sympathetic notion,
In the pitcher rs he curves the ball.
There's an idyl great in dicton,
Quite exciting fiction
In the batter when he flies the wall.
And the pose of grace and beauty
OF the catcher doing duty,
Is an epic quite exceeding all.
But for poetry of motion
TO my unpretentlous notion,
There's nothing like the umpire's gall.

"DOwn Nv the Sea"

One of the most beautiful comedy
dramas on the American stage, accord
ing to the critics of the large cities, is
the attraction announced for presenta-
ton at the FroStburg Opera House
Thursday, Sept. |.
The name of the play almost tells the
story. Down by the Sea- is strongly
written romance and contains more
genuine merit in one of its acts than
can be found i'll the entire play of the
ordinary melodrama of the present day
series. 1t is one of those ever-welcOme
stories that deal with the rough and I'M
lettered sea-faring men, whose natures
are full of chivalry and courage. The
situations are so cleverly approached
that the interest never flags, and every
one follows the action of the piece with
eagerness until the curtain finally falls
upon the last act.
The cleverness of the company, of
course, adds to the attractiveness of the
performance, and it must be acknowl-
edged that the leading characters are
i'll especially good hands, while the less
important parts are enacted with such
careful attention to detail that no little
praise is due to the competent stage
direction of the production
Fannie Curtis, an actress of decided
ability, who has impersonated many
leading roles i'll the support of the most
prominent stars of the country, and
who for the past three seasons played
the leading part in "Tennessee's Pard-
ner, appears i'll the principal character
in this play.
The scenic effects are particularly
handsome and elaborate, and many in
teresting mechanical contrivances are
used i'll the great storm scene of Act 3,
to add to the realism of the scene
Some very new and upto-date must
cal specialties are introduced during the
action of the play.

NOTES.
1t looked easy for Midland with Frank
Spates on the rubber. But Frank is as
good us the best of them He proved it
Saturday. When the team is together
it is pretty hard proposition. Cumber-
land bravado to the contrary notwith-
standing. The club that wins from
them will know they are playing ball.
Hayden, of Midland, is not only good
catcher but good hitter as well.
"Tom" Stakem got three base hit in
the very nick of time.
Capt. Mooney Gunnett was in fine
evidence, both i'll the field and at the
bat.
Owen Jackson's good right hand is
improving, and 1t is expected he will be
in his position behind the bat to-day.
Unfortunately there are a few who
have their hammers out doing their
usual knocking and making things I'M
pleasant as possible. But the great
majority of patrons who recognize per-
severance merit, pluck and get-thereness
are with the club and management, not
only with words of encouragement, but
their means as WELL Time and again
have the very best business men of the
town asked If the team needed any
financial aid, and if so, it would be
forthcoming. To these good people the
club and manager tender their sincere
thanks with the assurance that every
obligation, implied as well as specific,
has been met. Just now they need no
financial assistance, as they are all to the
good. The balance-sheet shows n sur
plus i'll the treasury, for which the boys
are truly grateful.

Trading Stamps.

Inasmuch as 1.-The trading stamp
horror has invaded Frostburg, it is not
out of place to quote an indication of its
nature from Ne"Spaperdom as follows:
The Advertising World, of Columbus,
Ohio, has taken up the trading stamp ques-
ton. In an editorial, in part, it very
sensibly says:
If trading stamps have not yet made their
appearance i'll your town, it will be far cas-
Ter to keep them out than to put them out
after they once get foothold And no one
can tell how soon they may strike any of
the few communities which are as yet
exempt. The thing to do is to start now
and lose no time in the effort to secure
united action against the stamps on the part
of your local merchants.
The statement of those who know
how the scheme works is-no matter
what article one gains by an aggrega-
ton of purchases, he purchaser pays for
IL al last
The day of legitimately getting some
thing for nothing, it is claimed, has not
arrived.
