The college baseball season is at hand and
before another week is over, weather permitting,
4 number of teams viii take the field for their
opening games. Most OF the early contests viii
d in the South. and these will be interesting
- giving some idea Of the probable strength of
eAe leading mines for the more important games
later. Il seems . pity that the intercollegiate
championship cannot be decided By a regular
series of games. Efforts have been made in the
East 20 organize an intercollegiate league among
the prominent teams, but to no avail, and the
title this year is quite likely to be claimed by
two or more mines, as has usually been the case
IN ttA past Last year Cornell, Brown and
Princeton were the claimants, and opinions diff
tered. although Princeton by virtue OF beating
Yale and Harvard generally awarded the
paim Personally. / am Of the opinion that
both Cornell and Brown could have beaten
Princeton IN q series OF games. The fight this
war shorld be mere interesting than ever, as.
no far - can be judged At this time. Cornell.

RAYMOND HITCHCOCK.
At the Academy of Music, Baltimore,
September 21.

At the Academy of Music, Baltimore
Raymond Hitchcock in "The Merry
Go-Round" will begin an engagement
Monday evening, September Fl, OF one
week, with Wednesday and Saturday
matinees. There can be no question
as to the size of the hit scored by Mr.
Hitchcock and his confreres in this
merry musical melange, as it tested
the capacity of the Circle theatre, New
York, for nearly six months. "The
Merry-Go- Round" is a frothy affair,
but has all the go and ginger neces-
sary to make success in these latter
days, and there is no doubt that it has
started on a prosperous season.
In the role of Hen Stubbs, country
clown, whose inclination leads him to
the city, Mr.. Hitchcock fairly revels
in the funny lines and situations which
the authors of the play have given
him, in addition to which he has a
number of new and taking songs
which he renders in his usual happy
manner. Mr. Hitchcock has not had
in long time part which suits his
personality so well as does the one
in "The Merry -Go-Round."
There is an excellent and we'll train
ed chorus, and the management has
provided lavish equipment for the
production in every detail.

Tennis,

Last Saturday the best tennis ever
seen in Westminster was played on
the grounds of the Country Club. A
match game was played with the
Frederick Tennis Club. Although the
home boys were defeated, they made
an excellent showing against Fred
erick's strong team, playing so close
that the result was in doubt in each
match until the last stroke was made
The Frederick boys rank among
the best amateur players in the state,
thus making the showing of the home
boys very gratifying 70 all lovers OF
the sport. The players and their
scores are as follows:
First set-FredericK, DeGrange and
Toms; Country Club, Gehr and Simp-
son; Score, 6-2, 1914.
Second set-Frederick, H. Hendrick-
son and G.. Hendrickson; Country
Club, Armacost and w. Mather
Score, ga, 6-S, GA.
In the matches of singles DeGrange
defeated Gehr, Toms defeated Simp-
son, H. Hendrickson defeated Arma-
cost, and Wilson defeated G. Hendrick-
son.
Another game of equal interest was
played on Thursday, September IL
in which the home team played the
tennis club from Hancock, Md.
Three matches were played, each
club winning match, with set
apiece in the third match and the
score '.five-all," when it was necessary
to call the game that the visitors
might make their train.

Mondays Game.

The Indians proved a good drawing
card in Westminster, about GOO being
present at the afternoon game and
nearly double that number at night
The captain of the Cherokees was
much pleased with the turnout He
said his team had been losing money
but that the receipts from the West
minister game would put them on
their feet.
The afternoon game was full of in
terest and excitement, the score stand
ing at a tie up to the sixth inning,
when Westminster made four runs.
There was but little difference in the
number of hits and errors, the advant-
age being with Westminster because
their hits were made at Opportune
times Cote, the first man up for the
Indians, threw fright into the crowd
by knocking the first ball pitched over
the right field fence, but he was the
only Cherokee who made the round
of the bases, only one other getting
as far as third, where he was left.
The Westminster boys outplayed their
opponents and won the game on merit
jenkins pitched his usual strong
game, and was we'll supported by
Barnhart. The especial features were
the brilliant fielding of Herd and
Bowie, and Spencer's guard of second !:

Those who attended the night game
were not pleased with the exhibition,
and declared that it was little more
than a farce. They say the lights
were poor, and the game itself more
like frolic than spirited contest
between athletes They intimate that
in the future after-dark baseball will
prove as strong drawing card as the
midweek prayer meeting. The In
dians grunted and admitted it was
shame to take the money, but they
needed it in their business. The
Westminster boys won.
Mount Airy had little difficulty de-
feating the Baltimore Coat and Pad
Company at Mt. Airy on Saturday by
the score of II to 0. Doherty held the
visitors to one lone hit. Base hits
came thick and fast in the sixth and
seventh innings, and the home boys
grew tired running the bases.
