50 years ago Public school pupils of Carroll County will revive the annual Athletic Meet on May 17. This event was discontinued in 1941 due to war activities and has not been held since. This event is the culmination of physical education activities in all of the Carroll County schools and usually attracts large crowds of pupils, teachers and interested parents and friends. -- Democratic Advocate, May 10, 1946.
100 years ago The scheduled game between the Baltimore City College baseball team and the Western Maryland team, on Saturday, failed to come off, owing to the inclement weather. This cruel interposition of fate was a sore disappointment to some of our East End enthusiasts, and as the Baltimore team failed to materialize for the aforementioned reason, they set about to improvise a team to vie with the college boys. -- American Sentinel, May 9, 1896.
