The Varsity base ball team had the
pleasure Of showing the Commence
ment visitors yesterday one of their
ways of winning baseball game. To
be sure, it wasn't a very fast game
nor any great exhibition OF baseball
playing, but it was a victory, with
| features.
Richard Guys scholastic team OF
Pittsburg was the aggregation picked
out for the Varsity to lick on the
last day Of school. 1t was very much
like the over grown, eighteen year old
mountaineer thrashlng the pale city
chap who taught the 'sdeestrict skule"
during the winter. But large crowd
was cut to see the game; the licking
was scheduled and had to be pulled
off. The Scholastic nine is composed
of players from the numerous high
schools and academies la and about
Pittsburg. Their playing is decidedly
school boyistic. Many of them handled
the ball like they had been introduc.
ed TO the national game only day or
two age, and were little slow get
ting acquainted. Some kid, with
fine scorn, expressed it when be told
the short stop. HHuh, they throw like
girls.
Burns pitched a pretty good game
for the visitors but his support was of
the rottenest sort. A less game
pitcher, would have quit. Most of
the Varsity's runs were made on
stacks of errors, though the Varsity
got seven hits, including two two
baggars,
Smith was on the rubber for the
Varsity and pitched fine game with
the exception OF one inning when he
gave two bases on balls in succession,
with two men on bases to begin with
thus forcing in the only run scored by
the Scholastics.
Lefty Core was In the game for the
first time this year, and swatted the
ball for two bases the first time up.
John Purinton played star game at
second. He accepted some very diff
cult chances, and made nc errors. His
playing has been uniformly good all
season.
Buck Kennoy made catch that
discounts Hans Wagner's famous sixth
shut cut capture. A high fly was
knocked toshort. Williams and Buck
both ran for it. Williams was readys
eat it up, and Buck stopped.
Somebody yelled, "Bucks got IT.,
and Williams stopped back. Buck
made plunge shot his left hand un-
der it, close TO the ground. The ball
dropped squarly in his NIT and stayed
there. Boyce Reynolds caught the
the last ball thrown in a Varsity
game this season and put it in his
pocket
Richard Guy says sRed" Smith is
the best pitcher he has been up
against this season. He left for Pitts
burg this morning and will play ball
with teams their this summer. Will
liams also left for his home at Mones-
sen. Buck Kennoy is still here. Pop
Shrives will play professional ball this
summer.
Reynolds, Cole, Core, Purinton and
Ross will be in town this summer. 1t
is altogether probable that team will
be organized, and Morgantown have
baseball all summer. Jack Downey
will manage it, and 1t may turn out
to be a past aggregation.
