PLAY BALL.
Opening Game In Westminster to BE
Made Holiday Affair.

Some OF our pessimistfc citizens
nave got the idea into their~heads that
there will be no baseball in Westmin-
ster this summer, but they are evil
IDENTITY unacquainted with the pushing
qualities OF the young men who have
this matter In hand. They know no
such word as fail, and we will not
only have a team, but one that will
De credit to the town. In the face
OF many obstacles, these young men
have perseyered until the thing is now
practically assured Through the
courtesy OF Western Maryland College
authorities the Westminster Club has
been granted the privilege of using
the college grounds. This cuts out
considerable part Of the initiatory
expense aud leaves that much more
money TO be put into the personnel OF
the team.
The first practice game will be play
ed on the college grounds next Monday
morning, May 3, at 10 O'Clock All APP
piieants for positions on the team are
requested to be on the ground at that
hour. From 10 to IL there will be
q try-out OF all applicants, and from
those tried there will be picked IS

In this game will enable the manager
10 determine what men are good
enough for the regular team and
what players viii have to be secured

lected as result OF the game Monday
afternoon Will play the Westrn Mary
land College team later In the week.
The opening game of the season for
the Westminster Club will be May 27
or 2S. II Is proposed 10 make this a
gala day for the town Company III,
the First Regiment band and the Fire
Department have promised to turn out
on this occasion. and II Is hoped the
merchants will close their stores
from 2 TO 6 IN the afternoon. II is
suggested that there be an Industrial
parade, and this would undoubtedly
prove an attractive feature at a min
imum OF expense for the business
houses. The Frederick merchants
have agreed TO close their places on
the afternoon OF the opening game,
and we should be no less willing to
encourage the great national pastime.

Western Maryland's highest hopes

was to beat Johns Hopkins, which
would give them the championship

They Desire to See Him Renomlnated
Without Opposition.

One OF the marked Developments Of
the meeting OF the Democratic State
Committee was practically unani-
nous sentiment In favor OF the renom-
ination OF DR.. Joshua W. Herring for
Comptroller. State and county lead
ers were outspoken In their opinion
that DIR. Hering's popularity through
out the State, as well as his excellent
record as Comptroller, make his re-
nomination virtually a matter OF
course.
Among those who spoke in favor OF
the denomination OF DIR. Herring, with
out any contest, II possible, we're

Governor Crothers is earnestly in
favor of Or. Hering's denomination, and
said
Without in the least intending to
dictate, | certainly think and believe
1t to be the opinion OF the Democratic
of the State that the denomination OF
DIR. Herring for Comptroller is prac-
tically matter OF course. DIR. Herring
is most faithful and efficient public
official, who not only performs his
duties with thoroughness and salts
faction, but besides his management
of his Office reflects great credit upon
both the State and the party. There
is no doubt OF his great popularity,
both personally and as a Democrat,
all over Maryland, and his renomlna-
tion Is not only the right thing to do,
but ii Is good policy, inasmuch as his
candidacy will unquestionably streng-

sonally, should like to see him re-
nominated without opposition"
