LcwiStOWn vs.. TllurmOnt.
The first of a series of the baseball
games between the strong Lewistown
and Thurmont clubs will be played here
on Saturday afternoon at three O'Clock.
Neither of these teams has been de-
feated yet this season and an exceeding
ly interesting game may therefore be
expected Lewistown is particularly
anxious to carry off at least two out Of
three of these games to retaliate for the
shut-out it received at the hands Of Thur
mont in the last game Of last season and
it is rumored that its team will be Elm
forced by the addition of several players
from Woodsboro but the Thurmonters
are down to hard practise every evening
and promise to give Reed good support
which is all that is necessary to insure
victory.
Reed will pitch for Thurmont with
Rouzer catching, while Shaffer and Shat
fer will be slated as the battery for Lew
! istown. Mr.. H. T. Carmichael, Chief
! Engineer of the W., F. & G. Ry. will
act as umpire.
Let this game be record breaker in
attendance and enthusiasm. Bring along
those old tin horns, sleigh bells, ETC., and
root" as you never rooted before.
Both pitchers have stated that they are
going to pitch the games of their lives
SO surely something will be doing.
Games with the Motive Power Depart
ments of the w. M. R. r. of Hagers-
town and the p. r. r. of Harrisburg are
also pending.
