A very interesting game of base
ball was played on the Frederica dla-
mond on Saturday last between the
Fort Salisbury" team and Frederick
team, the score being to in favor of
Frederick.
When the Fort Salisbury team
made their bombastic appearance on
the diamond and in the preliminaries
prior to the calling of the game their
show up was to say the least was
grand with their strong manly athle-
tes it made the Frederick team almost
cowes to think of combating with
such a strong and noble appearing
set of ball players as their manager .
J. S. Camper, had arranged to cross .
bats with them on that date. The
manager saw that his men were dis
mayed but he soon quieted their fears
as he believed that he had the goods
and was able to deliver them. But the
visiting team only laughed in their
sleeves and was heard to remark that
we will handle them like handling
cat by the tail" but alas, they reconed
without their host. So confident the
visiting team was that they would
whitewash their combatants that they
put in the box their weakest pitcher
but the game progressed but few in
nings when the visitors became de- :
moralized and held a consultation and ,
the remark was over heard For the :
love of Mike" our game is going to
destruction we have "bit off more than
we can chew" we are up against a
fast team, so they put in their best
pitcher with the foregoing results.
The Frederick team used John Nc l
