JOURNAL to player, who said at once
"She is right. No doubt about it..
Very often player wants to make a
suggestion to fellow player, but can't
do so without attracting undue attention
or being heard by some outsider also
squatted where he oughtn't to be al
lowed. .
1t seems to the JOURNAL that the
managers of the grounds ought to regu-
late these matters. They should keep
the benches intended for the players
clear of intruders, and, if necessary, ask
the players to occupy them. Then all
squatters. little and big, should be kept
off all foul territory inside the bleachers.
CUMBERLAND vs.. FRosTTrRG
A considerable crowd witnessed the
Saturday afternoon game between the
runners for the Imperial Cup, etc, in.
Guiding over one hundred visitors from
Cumberland.
There have been better games, prob
ably, but this was good one because,
Notwithstanding the one sided score, it
was strenuous contest throughout.

earned 80 cents received with the 3

Finn pitched splendidly throughout,
and Cumberlands man-Diehl, did
equally well until the fifth.

COMING EVENTS
The Frostburg team will go to Cum
berIand this Saturday afternoon.
"What for?" Will laugh or cry later.
NOTES
That Cumberland pitcher is too slow;
loses lots of time looking at the ''vasty
deep" behind the bat before he begins to
wind up. Saturdays pitcher is meant.
En- po&SuDt-a National League game
was played last week in 81 minutes and
all hands We're praised for it,
a recent game in Frostburg occupied
, hours and 10 minutes
CONTRADICTIONS
According to the Pittin DroI.r, there is
IA Clergyman in Cleveland, Ohio, who
believes there will be base ball in
heaven.
A baseball manager i'll Cumberland
about II years ago told the JOURNAL,
however, that "church members make
poorest kind of basel ball players
And, latest, a Homecoming man de-
clares that "oue of the best players on
the Creek wont go into a game on sun
day''-because he is a church member.
Where are we at"
FUNNY SHOW
Take Me Out to the Ball Game" was
shown i'll the Frostburg Opera House
Tuesday evening, and the enjoyment was
immense. The heroine was Fanny"
the pretty wife who didn't understand
the game; the heroes" Blink" the
chubby and the family pup. 1t took
Fanny long time to dress and when
the party reached the electric car the
pup was found to be an embarrassment,
and so on. The game was on when they
hat was lin the way of big rooter;
Blink" was oblivious to all but the
success of the home team, and the pup
was ON the lookout for everything ION
the fly Finally. a lot of the home
team got after the umpile; the pup
joined them and got bite on the ump
1t was hard to pull him away, but when
loostd and driven off he carried full
of I,a
pants The series of situations was
laughable all through Latrr-John
Crosse says Frostburg ought to have a
dog like that every time the team goes
to Cumberland to play i'll the proportion

THE PRIZE
The silver cup offered by The I'm

the current series between Cumberland
and FroStburg, is on exhibition in one of
J. w. Shea's windows, and is beauty
one worth playing for. Later-James

ger of what are in Midland believed to
be THE Midland Invincibles," formerly
THE Midland Misletoes," seems to
think that no matter where the cup
lands i'll this fight it wont be a token of
championship.
PERSONAL
James jackson, hero of numerous vic
tories in the Virginia League, reached
home Tuesday and took part in game
next day.
Sprints.
The JOURNAL got in George j. Wittig's
"Overland" Tuesday and flew down to
Borden Shaft-over 1.-THE Townsend
road and the new stretch, built by
Rich & Jetfries, now open for travel.
1t didn't take long to run over the
smooth, solid surfacing of the two
stretches. but it was ii delightful en-
periencc going after passing the town
limit, and coming until reaching the
same line.
This means that the town ought to
make good" with the county-that the
streets leading to Union should be made
nearly as good as the county road to the
streets.
Then the great paper walked up on
Federal Hill and saw how the paving
job is unavoidably going slow; on to
James +. Crump'S work at Sand Spring;
then IA ride on w. L. Schofeld's steam
roller and made 300 feet in 10 minutes
Crump is doing a good job, and report
came down from mile above that j.
