Eagle Archive: Calling all 'well-behaved players' for baseball in Carroll County

Eagle Archive: Calling all 'well-behaved players' for baseball in Carroll County






You may have noticed that the Baltimore Orioles have gotten off to a good start so far in the young 2012 season.

Hope springs eternal, and spring makes me eternally hopeful, so it's only fitting to note that baseball was also on the minds of Carroll County readers more than 110 years ago.

On this day in 1899, a local newspaper carried a news story that the local "Westminster Base Ball Club" was looking for a few good baseball players…

"The Westminster Base Ball Club ... desires to win the championship and toward that end desires to have a team composed of good players who will be able to play good base ball, and will take full advantage of the five mile limit in order to obtain the players if they can not be gotten in this city." …

What is that 'five-mile limit' all about? We may need to call upon local historian and Carroll County baseball history expert Dan Hartzler.


[…]

According to Mary Ann Ashcraft, an historian for the Historical Society, "Baseball was a big draw in all parts of the county, and competition between local teams often got very intense…"

[…]

In the April 22, 1899 article that appeared in the now-defunct Democratic Advocate newspaper, it is interesting to review the set of qualifications desired by the Westminster Base Ball Club.

“While no roughness or rowdyism on the team will be permitted, the team will be no kid glove affair, to the detriment of good ball playing, but every effort will be made to obtain a representative club of conscientious, efficient, and well-behaved ball players…

“The team announced last week will be permanent only so far as the members, so announced, are able to play good ball and play regularly.”

Where do I sign up? Put me in coach, I’m ready to play.

Democratic Advocate, March 25, 1899: Francis J. Englar, a well-known farmer hurt during tree work

A serious accident occurred near Linwood last Saturday afternoon.

Mr. Francis J. Englar, a well-known farmer, was lopping a tree in his yard, and fearing it would damage the adjacent dwelling in falling, he tied a rope to the top and attempted to pull it in an opposite direction.

As it was falling Mr. Englar slipped and fell, while a heavy branch struck and pinned him to the earth.

He was held in that position until assistance arrived, when he was extricated while in an unconscious condition. Medical aid was quickly summoned from Union Bridge, and everything done to alleviate the sufferer. His oldest son was also severely bruised.

January 28, 1899: J. M. Harden Wagon House destroyed by fire - Democratic Advocate

J. M. Harden Wagon House destroyed by fire

Democratic Advocate, January 28, 1899

The wagon-house of J. M. Harden, on the Nicodemus road, near Reisterstown, was destroyed by fire at an early hour last Saturday morning.

The loss is $1,250 and the insurance $850. Mr. Harden thinks the building was set on fire by an enemy.

The wagon house contained farming implements and a buggy, all of which were destroyed.

The building was located about 200 feet from Mr. Harden's dwelling house. The fire was discovered shortly before 2 o'clock by Mrs. Harden, just as the roof of the building fell in with a crash.

About two years ago a son of Mr. Harden shot a man in the leg, who, he alleges, was in the act of setting fire to his father's threshing machine.

This season has marked the 120th anniversary of the football team at McDaniel College.

According to Dr. James Lightner's history of the college, "Fearless and Bold," the first football season at then-Western Maryland College, in 1891, consisted of five games.

"On October 31, 1891, the first WMC football game was played in Westminster" against Pennsylvania College, now known as Gettysburg College.

1895: First commercial movie screened

On this day in 1895, the world's first commercial movie screening takes place at the Grand Cafe in Paris. The film was made by Louis and Auguste Lumiere, two French brothers who developed a camera-projector called the Cinematographe. The Lumiere brothers unveiled their invention to the public in March 1895 with a brief film showing workers leaving the Lumiere factory. On December 28, the entrepreneurial siblings screened a series of short scenes from everyday French life and charged admission for the first time... read more

American Sentinel, October 9, 1897: Man rescued from Western Maryland Railroad accident

Man rescued from Western Maryland Railroad accident

American Sentinel, October 9, 1897.

A man who gave the name of John Adams attempted to steal a ride on the Western Maryland Railroad, from this city, on Saturday last, and would have lost his life if he had not been discovered and rescued by an employee of the road.

He endeavored to board a freight train, but missed his footing, and would have fallen under the wheels if he had not been caught and supported until the train was stopped.

Justice J. Hoffman Fuss held him for a hearing until Monday and then committed him to the county jail, for thirty days, for violating the law in relation to stealing rides on railroads.

American Sentinel, August 10, 1895 Murder in Manchester District

American Sentinel, August 10, 1895

Murder in Manchester District - A brief account of a horrible murder, committed in Manchester district, came to us by telephone yesterday morning.

The victim of the tragedy was a man named Jacob Miller, a comparative stranger in Manchester. Miller had been working in that place and neighborhood for a week or more.

He was a quiet, well behaved and apparently an industrious man. Towards evening of Wednesday afternoon he left Manchester in company with two tramps, going in the direction of Melrose.

During the night persons in the vicinity of a grove near that place heard the noise of fighting in the woods. On Thursday morning the tramps who left Manchester in Miller's company, went into Melrose and reported that the body of a dead man was lying in the woods.

Their story was probably regarded as a fake, and no steps were taken to investigate it, but the report, in some way, reached Manchester and on Thursday night a searching party started out from that place and found Miller's dead body in the woods.

The man had been stabbed in the heart and cut about the face and head. The object of the murder was evidently robbery, as Miller had on his person, when he left Manchester, thirty dollars in money, all of which had disappeared, with other valuables, when the body was found.

An inquest was held, and a verdict rendered that the man was murdered by persons unknown to the jury. The jury was summoned by Justice Strevig.

Democratic Advocate, May 20, 1899 Frank Ryan’s land lies in four counties

Mr. Frank Ryan, of Carroll, is the most sought man by tax collectors perhaps in the state.

His land lies in four counties, though his residence is in Carroll. Part of his property is in Carroll, part in Frederick, part in Montgomery and part in Howard.

On his property is Parr's Spring, which is the point where the four counties join.

He can put one foot in Frederick county and one in Montgomery, then bend down with one hand in Carroll and the other Howard, and drink water from a spring the centre of which is where the four counties unite.

The miserable condition of the road leading from Oakland Mills to the Liberty pike

Call the attention of the County Commissioners to the miserable condition of the road leading from Oakland Mills to the Liberty pike

Democratic Advocate, December 3, 1898

Haight Items—By request of persons who travel the road leading from Oakland Mills to the Liberty pike, we call the attention of the County Commissioners to the miserable condition of said road, especially through the property of Mr. B. F. Bennett, and near the residence of Mr. T. S. Clark.

Those two places are well-nigh impassible, and not only a disgrace to the community but also to the county.

It is rather late to mend roads we admit, at least with dirt, but surely stones enough can be gotten nearby to fill these monster mud holes, and at very little cost now, but if it is not done, and accidents occur at those places, which will be unavoidable, this county will have to pay damages.

We doubt if there has been for years a place on any road in the county in such a miserable condition. We hope the attention of the Commissioners will be called to this matter and the road mended at once.

Democratic Advocate, December 3, 1898.

EAGLE ARCHIVE: From the rails to the pews, new churches are big deal in Carroll County

EAGLE ARCHIVE: From the rails to the pews, new churches are big deal in Carroll County

Posted 7/18/10 by Carroll Eagle
I have really never thought about taking the train to New Windsor from Westminster, but apparently that's what they used to do in 1897, according to a July 3, 1897, news item in the now out-of-print Westminster newspaper, The American Sentinel.

"This afternoon at one o'clock, the corner-stone of the new Methodist Episcopal Church, about to be erected at New Windsor, will be laid with Masonic ceremonies, by Door to Virtue Lodge, of this city.

"The members of the lodge will meet at Masonic Hall, in the Wantz Building, at 11:45 this morning, and leave for New Windsor on the 11:53 train."

A week later, on July 10, 1897, the Sentinel carried a front-page story about the fruits of that train journey -- the laying-of-the-cornerstone ceremony for the new church for St. Paul's United Methodist Church in New Windsor...

This month marks the 110th anniversary of The Manchester Fire Engine and Hook and Ladder Co. No. 1 fire hall, which was dedicated Sept. 2, 1899, in a community-wide celebration.

The fire company is part of a storied history of Manchester that goes back hundreds of years, even before the German and English settlers first appeared on the scene in the early 1700s.

Democratic Advocate, July 23, 1898: A narrow escape in buggy mishap

A narrow escape in buggy mishap

Democratic Advocate, July 23, 1898.
A Narrow Escape—Mr. William A. Abbott, of Hampstead, was driving to Westminster Monday morning, and Mr. Leonard Rill, of Houcksville, was just ahead of him in another buggy, going at fair rate of speed, when, from some unaccountable reason, the horse ahead dashed into a post fence alongside the road.

Finding that he could not get through the fence the horse suddenly wheeled and ran towards Mr. Abbott's horse. The horse acted as if mad.

Mr. Rill was thrown out and the buggy was smashed to pieces. Mr. Abbott turned his buggy aside to render aid, when Mr. Rill's horse bore down upon Mr. Abbott's horse and buggy.

It was a trying moment for him, as his own horse became frightened and began to jump. The loose horse dashed by, however, barely grazing him, but part of the trapping struck him, injuring the lower part of his right leg.

When Mr. Rill's buggy was demolished he was thrown a considerable distance, and for this reason was uninjured, except being shaken up to a great extent.
Democratic Advocate, July 23, 1898.
