BASE BALL NEWS.
kingWOod Loses Game on her
Own Ground

Last Saturday afternoon was a
splendid day to play ball, and
good crowd gathered ct the King
wood Base Ball Park to see our
club cross bats with the Morgan
town team.
The visitors arrived early in the
morning and spent the day very
pleasantly in our little town, and
were very gentlemanly set OF fell
lows, and deserve better treatment
than they get from the Morgantown
papers. Because the Kingwood
club went over there and defeated
them on their own ground, the
papers over there made the mistake
of assuming that their club was no
good and can't play ball. They
had no idea and didn't want to
admit that anybody over here
could play ball, and so they rIdi-
cnled their fellows for not boating
us, 80 they determined to redeem
themselves over here, and loaded
mp for us with three players from
Uniontown and one from Waynes-
burg Pa. Even then our club
ought to have won the game, but
most Of our boys played the poorest
game of the season. Dent and
Cobun played magnificent game,
and Hayes and Sapp did very well,
but all the others can do lots better
than they did IN that game. The
pitcher, catcher and short stop from
Pennsylvania that played with Nor.
gantown were "out of sight" and
fine all-around players. Here IS
their line up and the result:
