COMING EVENTS.
To-day Saturday the last game of
| the season will be played with Lonacon-
| ing at Athletic Park, Homecoming. The
home boys are on top by a good margin
aud the champion pennant for 1904 Will
| fly from the flagstaff at the summit of
the grand stand. Already there is Il
movement on foot among the ladies of
town to present the Club with the pen
nant which will be made by their loving
hands. 1t will be handsome, elegant
emblem-something the patrons as well
| as the Club will be proud of.
There has been some kind of a PROPOSE
ton made to some members of the Frost
burg club by some members of the Cum
berland club, the gist of which is that
the two clubs shall play five games as a
kind of post-series of championship con-
tests-two to he played i'll Cumberland,
two in Frostburg, and toss up for the
remaining game. The gentlemen of the
Cumberland club insist, however. that
manager Dillon step down and out and
have nothing to say in the arrangement
or management of these games. So far
and willing to acquiesce III the demands
of the gentlemen of the Cumberland
club and hopes, with all the lovers of
the national game, that the arrange
ments to bring these two teams together
may be perfected in fair, friendly

Any proposition looking to ignoring

voted down by the baseball boys. Mr..
Dillon has done nothing whatever to
forfeit the trust of anybody whose con-
fidence is worth having, and for Frost
burg to adopt the baseless contention of
the Cumberland baseball community
against him i'll any way. express or i'm

Some of the boys admit they We're

in the first of the series of Cumberlands
scheme to get to the top by beating the
tail-enders. The chatting of the visiting
players by the Cumberland spectators is
reported as something brutal.
The fear outside of the diamond now
is-the itch to make money" will take
too far the healthy element of true sport
out of the game.
At the last moment Keno" writes
that "the Cumberland Mrs this (Fri-
day. morning says
Col Thomas Dillon will close the season
after the game with the Homecoming club
Saturday However, the team will not dis
band, as they hope to secure series OF
games with the Cumberland club to decide
the championship of the county.
This report is erroneous, as tie cham-
jionship Of tie county is dccidsd. Frost
bury has IRON by good margin, and the
championship pennant will fly from the
New Baseball Park flagstaff here
whether Cumberland wins the proposed
games or not.
"But neither the hope nor the
proposition to play five supplemental
games emanates from Frostburg. 1t
comes from the Cumberland players,
who seem to need the money as what
ever revenues accrue from such games
will go the many orphans of the Cum
berland team and the few of Frostburg.
1.-The championship of the county,
it must be remembered by all, is
not an issue at all, as the .Ne~s we'll
knows. For long time; i'll fact, as
long as Cumberland was III the lead, the
Ners published the standing of the clubs.
Soon, however, as Frostburg took the
lead the publication ceased. SO it looks
as though the .Nrms, so far as baseball is
concerned, is for Cumberland and Cum
berland only"
