T here was one battle the late Sen. Charles McC. Mathias Jr. couldn't win during his 26 years in the House and Senate - where he had championed such historic causes as civil rights legislation, women's rights and restoration of the Chesapeake Bay while defying the Republican Party with his opposition to the Vietnam War - and that was concluding the Civil War for his hometown of Frederick. For all of his political power and acumen, Mathias was unable to persuade Congress to pay back the original $200,000 ransom (at 4¿ percent interest, compounded)

Orioles top prospect Dylan Bundy knew that eventually, the scoreless-innings streak that defined his dominance in the Low-A South Atlantic League would come to an end. Now that it has, in his debut with the High-A Frederick Keys, Bundy can focus on incremental improvements like his pitch mix and command, which will be key to his development as he climbs the ladder toward Camden Yards. "Giving up your first one or two runs in pro ball, it's going to happen to everybody," Bundy said.

Following Rye and Bond Street Social, another new bar is coming to Fells Point. To be called Frederick's on Fleet Street, the bar replaces Tyson's Tavern, which closed last year. The general manager and part-owner is Jim Saufley, a longtime bartender and part-time boxing coach.  The anticipated opening date is April 1. Like Rye, Frederick's will focus on craft cocktails - originals by Saufley and his own take on vintage cocktails. Saufley has been a corporate bartender, for Marriott hotels, for 18 years and is a member of the new Baltimore Bartenders' Guild . He and his business partner, Eric Butterfield, have been renovating the small bar - it holds about 100 people - since last October, when they bought the business.

Orioles' wunderkind Dylan Bundy is moving on up. In a highly anticipated move, the Orioles announced Wednesday that the 19-year-old right-hander has been promoted from Low-A Delmarva to High-A Frederick and will start Saturday against Salem at 6 p.m. at Harry Grove Stadium. Bundy was originally scheduled for one more five-inning stint at Delmarva so he could continue to work on his off-speed offerings, but instead will go five innings for the Keys. “He looked like he could benefit from another challenge and still work on things,” Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette said.

Ian Yarmus can spot them when he goes down to his favorite indoor climbing gym in Rockville or when he travels to Seneca Rocks in West Virginia, the place after which he named his now 3--year-old daughter. "I remember being 100 feet up [at Seneca], and there was a guy up there who was freaking out, he was completely paralyzed with fear," Yarmus recalled. "He was in over his head. He didn't have the skills or the training to be in the situation he was in. I had to tell him everything to do, tell him where to put every piece of equipment and what part of his body to use and where to put it in the rock.
