New MANAGER

Inlllp y. derldCD mas DeeI eleCteu
manager of the Frostburg Base-Bal
Club for this season. Mr.. Gerlach Is
an old, tried and true player, one who
has done good work for the team i'll
nearly all positions, and he has every
business qualification necessary to sue
cess-an accomplishment which all his
town friends of base ball wish him.
Homecoming vs.. FEosTBURG
Manager Gerlach's team won with "a
garrison finish i'll last Saturdays game
with Homecoming by score of to >.
Homecoming led until the last half of
the 9th inning, when an old-time spell
of hitting set in. Downton-first man
up, hit for single; Hines followed with
hit. and then the boys cheered when
the old-timer, Mooney" Gunnett, stood
OH the plate. All expected to see him
shift the quid from the left to the right
side and drive the ball over the fence.
But he fooled them; he let the quid stay
and laid down an unpretending parlor-
front bunt, which filled the bases. Then
came Cooper, fence climber, who also
hunted, but Downton, not expecting this,
got caught at the plate Bases still full,
only one out, and score . to 1 against
Frostburg A short time it so remained,
for the old, reliable Pat Brophy mean
dered to the plate, and what can be ex
pected in any crisis of competition, he
proved himself a hero. BY hitting for
a two Dagger he scored Hines and Gun
nett, ending the game.
The Spates brothers, jenkins and
Hamilton figured in the game at all
stages.

At big game in Waco with Fort
Worth, of a Texas league. one day last
week, jim Williams, formerly of the
Midland team, made ii sensational hit
one which, in the latter half of the 9th
inning, grabbed success for Waco from
what seemed surely impending defeat.
1t set /, 800 Texans wild with joy, so in
tense is the rivalry between the two
teams. They did everything to show
their appreciation of feat which scored
at the crucial moment. With the grand
stand half emptied a gentleman, stand
ing at the exit, bethousht to hold his hat
for silver tokens. The load got too
heavy for the hat. 1t was counted,
found to be $2S, and turned over to Jim
with extra-tremendous Lone Star fciot.
FAIR WEATHER WANTED
Finn Fancles," writing to JOURNAL
"hopes for fair weather Monday. AS to
a big crowd, fair field, and no favors
to either side
We certainly feel sure of those,
For we feel them in these here clothes
Finn must have written that himself,
for in the same south paw hand writing
follows this:
o, moisture is wondrous thing
1t brings the blossoms in the spring -
1t makes the rose bush blush in June
And brings the harvest all too soon.
So, ellow-pitchers moisten up
We've got to pitch to win the cup,
Nix on finding i-leaf clover
Just wet the ball and shoot it over
BREvITIEs
James Monroe Porter Shaffer says the
"Growing- End" name of col. Thomas
G.. Dillon's team is sweetly alliterative
midland Mistletoes."
A Coon PROPOSITION
The proposition to organize The Allie
gany League ought to materialize.
Homecoming. Midland, Frostburg, Mt.
Savage and Cumberland can do nothing
better, and no item in the papers would
attract more interest than STANDING of
the Clubs" especially with Frostburg
leading.
