The eastern trip has begun very
auspiciously for the boys of the Uni
vesity who are in the enemy's coun-
try. They met the Naval Cadets at
their home grounds on Saturday and
after hot and exciting game whip
/ ped them by a score of eight to seven.
In the first five innings the Univer-
sity boys played listlessly on account
of the tired feeling engendered by
their long trip but after that they
gingered up and won the game in the
eleventh inning. Dent and Shelby
were the battery.
The ne VS. was received here about

The following special dispatch
from Annapolis tells how the local
boys landed the prize:
/ West Virginia University downed
the Naval Cadets in an eleven inning
game Saturday. The game from
start to finish was the most exciting
ever played on the home grounds
The visitors won out through super
/ Tor batting but it took eleven innings
to decide the contest. The West
Virginians were met by the Cadets
and taken to their gymnasium where
the old gold and blue suits were
donned. The game was called
promptly at three o'clock. The Ca
diets made the first run in the sixth
inning closely followed by the Uni
versity boys who tied the score in
the eleventh. Manager j. E. b.
Sweeney is greatly encouraged and
says that the team will not lie
showed under by the Eastern Uni
versities.
