WON
BY CLOSE MARGIN
BEST GAME or TIE SEASON WAS
GREATLY ENJOYED BY
THOSE PRESENT.

waynesburg defeated the locals at
Traction Park yesterday to o. Judg-
ing by the liberal applause Impair.
TALLY bestowed upon either team by
the crowd It was decidedly the most
Interesting game of the season. There
were several reasons why this should
be so. In the first place both aggre-
cations played masterful ball and in
the second many OF the visitors has
performed before on local fields and
the fans had not forgotten them.
While Jim Gronninger, Elmer Can
non. Cowan and Lefty Core were given
generous hands, Bob Conway was the
prime favorite and incidentally he
won the game for his team. Milt
Montgomery, who had intended man
aging the team representing this city,
has charge of visitors and handles
them in manner highly satisfactory
to his employers II the teams record
so far this year is a sample of what
Waynesburg fans want in the line OF
baseball.
The game was pitchers battle in
which neither Elmer Cannon nor Buck
Jackson excelled the other. Honors
were about evenly divided between
these clever slab artists. Both pitch
ed the article of ball that makes hit
with local crowd. After. the first
inning when Waynesburg managed to
get two men on the paths with no.
body down, not man on either team
reached the first station in safety un-
til the fifth when Carpenter, first up,
singled. However, he was forced a
moment later and the hit did no good.
Then it went to the seventh without
man on when Jackson issued the
only pitching fiuke Of the game by
hitting Core on the knee. Bob Coma
way was next and although he had
struck out before, he was given nice
notice by his many admirers. On
each Of his former appearances at bat
Jackson fed him high ones and had
him. at his mercy. The first one he
dished up this time was low curve
and Bob did with 1t what he always
does to that kind. namely. punched
II good and hard. 1t sailed over
Lutcher's head for two bases and Core
counted although had Conner moi
dropped Lutcher's relay he might pos
sibly have been nailed at the plate
That was the extent of the scoring.
