BASEBALL ENTHUSIASTS MEET.
AT a largely attended meeting held on
January 2Ist, in the Y NJ c. A. rooms,
in the interest of baseball for the season
of 1910, sentiment was in favor of hav-
ing the city represented by a semi
professional club.
The meeting was presided over by Mr..
]. Harry Grove, president of last years
baseball association, and plans we're dis
cussed for raising funds for the club. 1t
is likely that a bazaar will be held next
month and later play will be given at
the City Opera House by committee, of
which Col. E. Austin Baughman is chair
man. Last year Colonel Baughman
arranged successful two-night comedy
which yielded the association a good
sum. A committee was also appointed
to solicit subscriptions.
A letter was read rom Shippensburg,
Pa, asking the Frederick managers to
join in the formation of league, compris-
ing teams from Maryland, Pennsylvania
and Virginia. The plan met. with favor,
and promoters of the game here are ready
to send representatives whenever meet
ing may be called to form a circuit.
