July 4th was a glorious day for
Westminster. In the morning they
iourneyed to New Windsor with quite
a bunch of loyal rooters, and fairly
cleaned up things to the tune of to z.
Dorsey pitched an excellent game,
and had the New Windsor batters
swinging wildly at his offerings. In
this game Cal Plowman distinguished
himself by having a perfect day at the
bat, getting a walk, two singles, and
two doubles. New Windsor then mi
grated to Westminster in the after
noon with fire in their eyes, vowing
to get revenge. But it was not New
Windsor day In spite of his strenuous
efforts in the morning Plowman went
to the rubber, and his cannon ball de-
livery held off the foe. The final score
was Z to 4. The largest crowd of the
season viewed this game and all ap-
preciated the fact that Westminster
has a real ball team. Not the sem
blance of an error was made by West
minister in either of these games. Our
old friend and ever reliable guardian
of the midway station. Joe Smith, had
to view the games from the bench be-
cause of a sprained ankle. But Joe
says that old prop will be primed for
Taneytown.

Millions of Young People in Colleges.

1t is indeed astonishing to learn
how many young people are training
in universities and colleges. We earn
estly hope it is for the best, and
would with pleasure see many more
prepare for the ministery in the theo-
logical schools. The total enrolment
in Columbia University is 32,420. The
proud claim that Columbia University
is the largest in the world was at once
challenged by the University Of Cali

of 1926.
