MIDLAND VS.. FRoSTBURG

Last Saturday Midland came to Frost
burg after an accustomed triumph and
it was "scorcher" from the first to
last throw.
Frostburg, reinforced by the two big
Raleys from Bloomington and the royal
Irish duet from Piedmont-Kelly and
Doyle, was out for blood. 1t was the
strongest team the town has been able
to put in the field this season.
Midland, too, was manned to the
limit by tirst-class talent, and it is we'll
known that when Midland plays to win
good ball is the policy.
Finn was on the mound for Midland
and at his best. He is a great pitcher.
His feat Of striking out three big bat
ters with three runners on bases in the
fifth inning was wonder. With com
pletely unruffled nerve he saw how
three runs would put Frostburg i'll the
lead and he determined to forestal that
event even as a possibility. And he
did! 1t was the commanding accom-
plishment of the game.
Woods, catcher for Midland, was equal
to every emergency, and until the latter
half of the ninth inning the field boys
behind Finn did equally WELL At this
juncture, however, with the score 3 to
in Midland's favor, the latter made an
aeroplane ascension and didn't get back
until FrOstburg scored runs, closing
the game with Frostburg 4, Midland 3.
Big Dan Raley pitched excellently for
Frostburg, and Mckenzie, catcher,
seconded him correspondingly well.
The latter is also reliable hitter.
Kelley at first and Boyle at second
made some fine plays, and Brophy-well,
he played centre field in sensational
style, and his run in the ninth was the
winner.
Was the game worth the admission
fee: 1t was, and then some!
But listen TO Keno" concerning the
game of Thursday at Midland:
1t was a farce. James Edward, better
known as "Huck" Finn, deliberately threw
the game away, and so acknowledged and
boosted of it afterward
In the two first innings he allowed Frost
burg to make runs, and then the Midland
ers refused to play longer behind him.
Manager Dillon took him out and put in
Stevens.
One run was scored on Stevens in the re-
naming innings.
The final score-Frostburg / Midland 6.
New ORGANIZATION
The Frostburg team has elected new
manager-William E. Hartman, secre-
tary-Joseph H. Brown, and treasurer
the old standby, DIN Gunnett. Mr..
Hartman is spoken of as good fellow,
full of business, and qualified to shape
the team into good playing status.
