1896-2-06 "'Stoney' McGlynn, the base ball pitcher, has returned to Carlisle. He would like to get on this year's team." 

1898-7-18 Pitched for Elizabethtown v. Manheim. Elizabethtown were down 12-8 in 6th when they walked off field in protest of umpire's decision, causing the game to be forfeited. One of the most exciting contests ever witnessed in the borugh. (Dispatch from Manheim.) Second meeting between the clubs - Manheims defeated at Elizabethtown in first meeting.
    Elizabethtown reinforced by McGlynn, crack pitcher of the Susquehanna club of Harrisburg. Taylor of the same club played short. 
 1898-9-05 For Elizabethtown, McGlynn beat Manheim 11-7. Game played for championship of county and $100 side-bet. "Each team had their rooters with them and they never lost an opportunity to let themselves be heard. There is great rivalry between the clubs..." 
    McGlynn batted 5th, went 2-for-4 and doubled. Walked 8 batters. 
    "McGlynn is a pretty good pitcher, but he gives a base runner too big a start. He is inclined to be wild at times and also easily rattled." 
    alt (Lancaster Intelligencer)
    Game was played at Lancaster so it would be on neutral grounds with an unprejudiced umpire. The articles of agreement for the game - $100 bet, county championship - were signed in the Intelligencer offices.
    "A large majority of the Elizabethtown people occupied seats on the grand stand, while the Manheim people were along the base lines, where they could make more noise than any place else. Their efforts to 'rattle' players were very humorous, and they were not unsuccessful." 
    "The police officers had a great deal of trouble during the game to keep down the rooters who came to town with the two clubs. They were allowed to yell as much as they pleased, but they wanted to go farther. They occupied the players benches much of the time. The Manheim men were especially troublesome, for they were nearly all in the field, and Officer Garman tells a funny story. One rooter attempted to run on the diamond while the game was in progress and the officer stopped him. The man went off reluctantly, saying, "Now, you know Manheim is nearer Lancaster than Elizabethtown, and you policemen ought to be with us. I only want to go down to second base to tell that fellow what to do."
    "There were many funny incidents in the game of Monday that caused laughter especially among the patrons from this city who are not accustomed to seeing the game played in the way the country clubs dish it up. Nearly all the fan was in the two rows of men that formed the fringe along the lines to first and third bass. The spectators coached, bet and swore in Dutch and English and the conversation and arguments were enough to put a farce comedy company in the background.
Among the chief rooters for the Manheims was Johnny Fetterly, who occupied a seat on the players' bench. He was one of the old Mountain Boys, a famous amateur club, almost twenty-five years ago with Billy Zecher and others, and he now lives in Manheim."
