BANgiET FOR THE TANEYTOWN
R ASE BA LI. ( M B
The Taneytown baseball team, in
,; recognition of a most successful sea- I
i: son, enjoyed a most delicious ban
quet on last Thursday evening til the
■Central Hotel, being the guests of
Manager AV. Rein Alotler and the di
rectors.
The banquet was a real get-to-geth
ier affair and from the spirit mani
| tested it could easily be seen why
Taneytown was represented by such
a high class team. Not only was the
theme ot the evening in regard to the
1922 combination hut a movement ;
started to lie worked up during the 1
winter months so that Taneytown
would have a team equally as good i! |
not better than the one of the past j
season.
President Al. J. Thompson, ‘of tin
Frederick County League, was a guest
at the banquet and made a short ad
dress. Manager Alotter. Ralph Bon
saek, John Dreuning, William F I
i Burke. Fern Hitchcock and several!
jolliers spoke of the hearty co-opera
tion and spirit of the team of 1922.
| Manager Alotter presented each
member of the team with a silver j
hasjball. with the initials of each
| player and “T. A. C. 1922.” the gift
looming as a big surprise t ail and j
was very much appreciated.
I’he banquet was a tilling climax
to a most successful season and there
, is bo doubt that this little affair will
go a great ways toward adding more
interest in baseball to the town. The
team won 2.1 out of the 2.9 games
played during the past season.

KNIGHTS BOLD HAVE
LONG WALK AFTER
SEEING GIRLS
"CURED OUT" AFTER HIKING FROM MT.
AIRY TO FREDERICK IN EARLY MORN
ING DARKNESS.
The Frederick News says:
The days of chivalry and romance
are not dead. This is proven more or
less every day and many things occur
to substantiate that love lurks in the
lair just as much as "when knighthood
was in flower."
Two hopeful young cavaliers decid-
I ed to pay a visit to the idols of their
dreams in Mt. Airy. They went via the
U. Ai O. on Monday afternoon. Think
ing so much of the delightful hours
in store for them, they gave no
thought to the manner in which they
were going to return. They were in
deed philosophers of the first water.
The hours spent with the fair ones
gradually lessened to minutes and.
alas! soon came the parting moment
They were asked how they were go
ing to get hack to Frederick. They
bravely replied that they would find
away. They were entreated, suppli
cated, anil exhorted to remain until
the next morning, so they could get a
train, but they bravely refused to do
so and with a determined air set out
iu the direction of Frederick a la
hoof.
i It was then 12..‘10 and the thermom
eter reminded one that an igloo was
like a hot air furnace in comparison.
To make a long story short, we will
;skip over the lime between 12..'!fl and
| 1 o'clock in the a. m. The scene was
shifted to the fair grounds on the
edge of this city. With heads thrust
forward and feet dragging backward
they got here pretty well “cured out.”
They look the bitter with the sweet
and after a good sleep they were none
the worse for their journey but when
asked if they would like the same ex
perience. two pairs of eyes rolled and
i an exclamation escaped “never
again."
