FRosTBURG Nor In TIE LIST
A Frostburg lady noticed in the Cum
berland NewS of last Saturday that THE
Monongahela Valley Collegians, of Nc
keespOrt, Pa" want to tour the Cum
berland and Shenandoah Valleys" with
view of playing teams en- route. 1.-The
teams most desired are Cumberland,
Hagerstown, Frederick, Homecoming,
Winchester, MOrgantown, Martinsburg,
and all other good towns in this vicinity. !"
What bothers the fair questioner is-''if
Fros;burg is good town why was it
not named? Or do the 'Collegians' re-
gard Frostburg as bad town.
The JOURNAL didn't take the matter
so seriously. 1t suggested that the Sol
legians" had probably selected only
those teams they believed they could
lick.
HUNTINGDON VS.. FRosTBURG
1t was a good game, Notwithstanding
Frostburg went down under the crush
of too
The visitors are stalwart, earnest play
ers, and in critical situations the pitcher
filled his office with brain work. Frost
burg could hit him but not hard enough
If the Huntingdon pitcher made a mis-
take it was that he didn't make it easier
for Frostburg to hit balls that rarely
got out of the diamond. About three
exceptions Hines, Cooper and Jenkins,
one each, were field drives. Herein lies
the home teams weakness-not in want
of ability to hit, but lack of strength to
hit right.
The Huntingdon players" writes
"Keno," "seem to be "a classic bunch,
and they had no occasion to exert them
selves on this occasion.
big Bill Jenkins did the twirling for
the home team, and was i'll good form.
That he failed to win was no fault of
his, for at times his support was bad.
"'Skeet' Mckenzie, of Meyersdale,
did the catching we'll.
Hines was on first and did the posi-
ton great credit.
Cooper had some difficult chances in
left-tield, but got them all.
"All in all the fielding was pretty
good, but the baSe-runuing was on the
bone head order.
Huntington had no trouble to win;
in fact, it looked in the outset that
Frostburg was out-classed
The crowd was small; the receipts
didn't cover the guarantee. So the
management lost some of the dollars
made on Decoration Day.
james A. Taylor umpired in most
creditable fashion. There was not
Homecoming won from Cumberland
last Saturday. to 0. This was the
first game this season between the two
clubs, Brown, the new twirler for
'Coney,' is a good one, and Barclay,
catcher, is giving him good support.
The Midland Park Association peo-
pie are putting their property into good
shape. New seats in grand stand, new
bleachers, and the fence has been gener-
ally restored. Graded and rolled, the
Out-tield, when finished, will make the
best baseball park in the county. Be
sides, Midland has good team, all of
which makes it a surety that there will
be some enjoyable games there this year.
1T looks like this is good time to
organize a county league of entirely
home talent. With Cumberland, Iona
coming, Midland, Mt. Savage, Frostburg
and Piedmont, a splendid league can be
formed, as the teams are quite evenly
balanced. Many very interesting games
would be played Let the managers get
together and organize. A big lot more
interest will be aroused and manifested. 1"
COMING EVENTS
Frostburg will play Homecoming in
Athletic Park, that place, this (Satur-
day afternoon.
