 entertained an narrowing grouch be-
 cause their city. although larger than
 Pittsburgh, Detroit, Washington and Cincinnati, has been relegated by the
 baseball powers to the position Of a
 minor league town
 Since the National and American
 league clubs were withdrawn from the MonunlentaF City, thousands of
 fans have refused to enter a ball yard controlled by organized tba1I, and these peevish ones have naturally Hooked to the standard of the new circuit, in the hope that it will restore Baltimore to the place it formerly occupied on the baseball map. Nor can one blame the people of Baltimore for demanding re- dress of their grievances. for since the very beginning of the pastime the Maryland city has been accustomed tp high class ball.
 In that period before the civil war when the American national game was alborning. the people of Baltimore were it's most enthusiastic supporters. As early as 1857 Raltimore had q fast team in the Excelsfors The famous
 Waveriys of Baltimore were organized in 1858. The following year two clubs claimed the name of Baltimores, and played series of contests to decide the ownership of the title. In 1881 the Baltimore PastiTmes de- feated the Washington Nationals, a club composed of government clerks who were almost invincible.
