For the Advocate.
The statement in your valuable
paper last week that the Uniontown
boys went to the German Lutheran
picnic, near Smallwood, and did not
play on account of the lateness of the
hour is altogether incorrect.
The game between Sandyville and
Smallwood did not start till late, and
the score being very large Tin Sandy
ville's favor) made It too late to play
a full game, so it was decided to play
a five-inning game.
At the end of the fifth inning the
score was to 2. The 9Th inning neith-
er side scored, but in Uniontown's half
of the seventh they scored the win
ming run with two men on bases, and
no hands out. The right score was 8
to Q in our favor, instead of no game
at all.
We understood later that Sandy
vile had some imported players, but
that did not win the game.
We are ready to play the regular
Sandyville team return game any
time. JOHN WHOLE, Mgr.
The Taylorsville base ball team
gave the New Wind0er team a game
on there own grounds. 1t was an
uninteresting game, the score being
9 to in New Windsor's favor. They
had five of the amateurs and four of
the juniors. The Taylorsville boys
will play two games and then will
be ready for the whole team of the
New Windsor amateurs, with one
game at each place. AS the Mt. Airy
team shut them out, we cannot believe
that they can shut us out, as Barnes
gave them seventeen strikeouts. 1t
looked as though that ought to win
the game itself, but it was so that we
could not However, we will be ready
for them anytime with disinterested
umpire and if he does not treat them
all right we will take him out. There
have been three games played be-
tween New Windsor and Taylorsville
and Taylorsville won two. We will
still hold the championship if not re-
turned. Will play the Smallwood
team on the following Saturday, 18TH
at 1 o'clock.
New Windsor defeated the Manches-
ter team last Saturday in onesided
game 10 to 0. The feature of the
game was the pitching of Loats. He
allowed but two hits and struck out
12 men. Spencer, for New Windsor
made home run. The home team
played one of the best games of the
season, and the visitors never had a
lookin. Danner caught good game
for New Windsor.
Mount Airy again easily defeat
ed Sykesville at Sykesville Sat-
urday in the third game of series
of five for the championship of Car
roll county Ito 2.
Doherty was in fine form and had
his opponents at his mercy at all
times Mount Airy gave Doherty
gilt-edged support. The features OF
the game were fast double play by
Buckley to link to Hoffman and bril-
liant catches by Hall and Whipp.
Bouse and Bevans led at the bat for
Mount Airy.
The series stands two to one in
favor of Mount Airy. The next game
will be played tomorrow, Saturday, at
Mount Airv
