BASEBALL TALK.
Some After-tke-Battle Notes that
Have the Proper Ring to Them
for Frostburg Fans.
When Alexander whipped the earth
and vainly sighed for more,
He had a bunch of low-browed guys
who fairly reeked with gore.
They carried cleavers swords and
spears, and slaughtered by the
score,
But conquest was a crude affair in
them there days of yore.
When Bonaparte was in his prime, he
was a wicked cuss;
He had a gang of thugs who used the
deadly blunderbuss.
And when they left the enemy, they
left a fearful muss,
But ways have changed since days of
yore—we do not conquer thus.
There’s. Colonel Round-up Rustler
and his brave band of “com
mish”—
They’re smart, yes, awful smart, they
are and sure can beat the Dutch.
They tried to put the “kibosh” on,
get the pennant in their clutch,
But we’ve the money and the rag,
and are not conquered much.
Of course it is all settled now, and
everyone in and out of baseball cir
cles knows that Frostburg won the
pennant. As the stakeholder, Rich
ard Guy and Garry Herman, both
high authority on the national game,
so decided, the argument as to who
are the Simon-pure champions should
cease right now. .
The boys of the team, as well as the
management, had a hard fight, not
only on the field, but after the season
closed to get what was theirs, but
success has crowned their efforts, and
as was said in the columns of this
paper several weeks ago, the pennant
will fly from the flagstaff right here
in Frostburg.
The following letter speaks for it
self, and is from an old Frostburg
boy who twenty-five years ago was
very much interested in the good old
national game hereabouts, but for the
past twenty years has been making
good in the employ of the National
Government at Washington: .
“We just learned yesterday of the
success of the Frostburg baseball
team as pennant-winners of the sea
son just closed, and take this method
of textending our congratulations to
the manager of the successful team
in the exciting race just finished.
We are proud of our dear old home
town, which has ever kept pace with
the dazzling speed of progressiveness
which would baffle less alert citizens.
We are proud to know yoti stand A 1
in the front rank. To bring a team
out first in a league where there has
been so much worthy opposition, must
have taken much time; thought and
generalship, combined with knowl
edge which can only be gained by
years of experience in the greatest
nation’s greatest game. To the men
who did the playing on the field, and
to the other good citizens who assist
ed otherwise in this victory, a lot of
credit is due, and I congratulate them,
one and all. In this concentrated,
sublime effort you have kept the city
on the hill in Class One of the burgs
and boroughs that make up the great
est nation on earth.”
Men, we have five long months to
get ready for next season, but let us
not wait till the Ist of August to be
gin playing league games. The past
season has demonstrated that the
Georges Creek Heague was a great
success. It created an interest in the
sport that manifested itself more and
more as the season advanced. Next
season it should be better in every
way, as the experience gained this
season will be of great benefit next
season. Frostburg should have a
bang-up team next season, though
rumor has it that two or three of the
players are to go to the Dubuque, la.,
team of the “Three Eye Eeague.”
However, there is any number of
good young players in this locality,
and a good team is sure to be put in
the league. With R/an and Gunter
as catchers, Allen and Jenkins as
pitchers, there won’t be much trouble
in getting a good strong team togeth
er for the season of 1914.
Jim McGuire says he is going to
1 stick to Midland till they land the
pennant. Jim will be a long, long
time at it.
There is no doubt that Dr. Deming
and Joe Hartman, the baseball com-
V missioners, could excite great curios
ity by going around the world with
McGraw’s and Comisky’s teams, es
pecially in Japan. There are so many
ivory workers there.
Colonel Round-up Rustler says he
won’t be in the Georges Creek Eeague
next season. His team doesn’t lo'ok
any better than some other teams that
will be in it, and possibly he may
change his mind before the blue
birds begin to whistle. However,
whether he comes in or not, there will
be a league, and some good baseball
games are assured.

Pitiable Case of Affliction at
Eckhart.
Among the numerous families strick
en with diphtheria at Eckhart, one
mile east of Frostburg, one of the
most pitiable cases of affliction is in
the family of Wm. Condry, a miner
who had thirteen children until re
cently, when the life of one was
snuffed out by ' diphtheria. About
half of the surviving members of the
family, including the wife and mother,
are now afflicted with the dread dis
ease.
Such cases of affliction try men’s
souls, and it is during such times that
every man should feel the ties of uni
versal brotherhood and not only ex
tend sympathy, but substantial help
of whatsoever kind is needed. When
a community is stricken as Eckhart
is stricken at this time, a committee
of citizens should be organized for
extending the aid that is so often ur
gently needed among the poor. Sick
ness, affliction, tribulations and death
must come to us all, and all of us
should remember that there are none
who can be absolutely independent.
There are times when the richest as
well, as the poorest need the help of
others in some way.
A Public Nuisance.
For some time a crowd of extremely
noisy, vulgar and profane boys have
been in the habit of playing hide-and
seek -and other games in the im
mediate vicinity of The Spirit office
on Sunday evenings. The noise they
make and the language they use is
something fierce while people are on
their way to church, and the police
should see to it that a stop is put to
the nuisance.
Subscribe for The Spirit for your
absent friends. It will seem as good
to them as a weekly letter from home.
