T. H. 8. Club Goes Visiting.
Last Friday the Thurmont High School
baseball team left town for two day
trip abroad and in the two days played
three games, the first at Frederick with
the High School team of that place.
In charge of Prof. H. D. Beachley the
club left here Friday afternoon over the
Frederick Railroad for Frederick. The
train arriving at Frederick 40 minutes
after the hour for calling the game, only
five innings could be played. Victor
Birely took to the slab and Lester Damuth
put on the mask. Victor held the boys
very nicely until the fourth inning when
three runs were made, due an error and
two wild pitches. Johnson for Frederick
pitched nice game. Score:
7. II. S.....................2 J 0O-s
+. II. s. ......l oA-A
Struck out by Birely 8. johnson 6; hits
off Birely 3, off johnson 8.
The club remained in Frederick over
night and early next morning left over
the B. & o. for Brunswick for the pur-
pose of playing with the High School OF
that city. Arriving in Brunswick shortly
after Z o'clock the boys took in the town
for an hour or 80, the game being called
at $50. The diamond at this city is
located on a hill and with little start
the ball would roll any direction down
hill. The venerable instructor, Prof.
Fogle, undertook the task of umDiring
and from what we learn the home plate
must have been variable in size-very
large when the pupils of his school were
fielding and very small when Thurmont
pitchers were in the box. His decisions
were so rank that Prof. Beachley took
his team off the field, thereby forfeiting
the game according to the rules of the
game. When the Thurmont club left the
field the score was 80 in favor of
Brunswick.
Disguised with the treatment received
Prof. Beachley and the club got out of
Brunswick as soon as possible, taking
the II o'clock train for Adamstown where
a game was scheduled for the afternoon.
Arriving ut the latter place hungry and
in bad mood, all hands started hunting
something to eat. Some were fortunate
and Jared sumptuously at the home of
good Samaritan, others partook of sand
wiches and were satisfied. The Adams
town club did not know Thurmont was
coming at that hour or dinner would have
been ready for them. After foregoing
all the above the club was not in very
good condition to enter the field at
Adamstown for another game, but at 2
O'Clock the game was called. The Adams
town clubs of the "cracker-jack" variety
and infants in the game have little show
with them. Eddie Creeger went in to do
the twirling and held his opponents fair
ly we'll for three innings. George Root
went in in the fourth inning. Only 13
men came to the bat in this inning
runs being scored. George certainly had
slice of fat meat in his hand, as he
gave four men bases on balls. Be it re-
membered here that this is but the fourth
game George has pitched in this year.
After two innings Eddie Creeger relieved
him. At the end of the game the score
was as follows:
Adamstown. Il 10 70x-N
I I n n n n
This being the first time the boys were
away; that they left on Friday, played
two games on the 18th and that l3 per-
sons were in the party, possibly accounts
for their bad luck. They all arrived
home Saturday night one minus mitt.
another shirt, and the club bat, but
all in bully good humor, loud in their
praise of treatment received at two of
the places visited but of third just the
opposite.
