following young men: p. W. 7. 10y, DR..

Just what will be done toward forming
a League we cannot say at this time,
but in answer to our query last week,
the Editor of the Chronicle says: "We
beg to say that at this time four teams
are being organized in this community
and it is the desire of the baseball public
that Thurmont make arrangements to
play a series of games here during Old
Home Week, July 10, IA, Is, and Is. 1t
would also be to the advantage of both
teams that they should be the first to
sign an agreement from which a league
could grow
