Baseball a la Africa.

Last Friday afternoon the Dusky
Roarer Baseball Club of Martinsburg
came to Shepherdstown to play a
friendly game with the Chocolate
Club of this place 1t was thrilling
sporting event, enjoyed by the white
spectators no less than by the colored
participants and their friends. At
the conclusion of the game, which was
filled with exciting plays, the score
stood 20 to 7 in favor of the visiting
team. The score, however, does not
necessarily indicate the comparative
excellence of the two clubs. 1t Is
rather a tribute to the foresightedness
and energy of the Dusky Roarer who
played in centre field. This gen man
came prepared for trouble. He knew
the disputes that so frequently ARISE
in baseball games and the difficulty
of settling the same. Accordingly
when the first quarrel arose he ran
in from center field, went to the place
where his coat was hanging on the
fence, and ostentatiously slipped a
38-calibre revolver in his hip pocket.
1t was in very brief time after this
that the dispute ceased and play was
resumed, whereupon Mr.. Weaver, the
gen man referred to, put his gun back
in his coat pocket. After awhile
another dissension arose, and again
the Dusky Roarer ran and got his
trusty revolver. Again the trouble
abruptly ceased. This occurrence
was repeated as often as disputes
arose, and it is not to be wondered
at that the umpire favored the visit
ing team, be it ever so slightly, and
that the Chocolates refrained from
pressing their claims for favorable de-
oisions. The center felder's gun
helped out the club most excellentlY,
but after the game was over 1t was
his personal undolng. Town er-
geant Shipley had witnessed the per-
Torrance, and he arrested Mr.. Wea-
yer for carrying concealed weapons.
He was hailed before Mayor Miller,
who assessed fine of S. and costs,
amounting in all to 1920. This judg-
ment turned the JOY of victory into
gall and NORWOOD, for diligent
searching of the pockets Of the club
could only scrape up 1896. The
town sergeant had announced his in
tention to take the prisoner to jail
indeed had almost reached the gates
of the bastile-when one Of the Dusky
Roarers, going to the very depths of
his trouser pockets, happily found
another quarter. This made up the
required amount, and the visitors
shortly afterward departed for home.
They we've quite lo|-spinted at he
thought of leaving go much good crap
money behind, and were not entirely
without sympathy from those who
thought their victory should not have
been so ruthIessiy turned into dead
sea fruit.

Baseball.

baSeDau.
The Shepherd College baseball team
lost its first game last Saturday. They
were defeated by the Charles Town
Academy team at that place by the
score of 8 to 4. The game was a good
one, well played on both sides, and
all the runs were hard earned. Young,
the pitcher for Charles Town, did very
effective work and seemed to be a
puzzler for the college boys. They
were unable to hit the bali when it
was most needed. Morrow pitched
good game for Shepherd College and
was well supported behind the bat by
Clendening.
On Monday a big, round goose egg
was the result of a game played at
St. James, the score being 10 to 0,
with Shepherd College at the short
end of the string. While the score
would seem to indicate that the game
was pretty much one-sided, such was
not the case. No runs were scored on
either side until the fifth inning.
Several costly errors at this point al
lowed st. James to get lead, which
they gradually increased until ten
runs had been scored. The st. James
team played faultless fielding game.
Campbell and Campbell were the bat,
terry for St. James and Morrow and
Clendening for Shepherd College. The
boys were courteously treated and
are well pleased with both games
all except the scores. Another game
will be played Saturday at Middle
way with the Jefferson Academy team,
and they are living in hope that the
old saying, What happens twice will
happen thrice" is not true In base
ball.

sitions should take the nance instead OF
the miners. As the Ave men approached
the mine which is burning they became
aware that the water had not extin-
guished the blaze. They decided 10 tear
down the bulkhead erected to confine the
fire 10 one entry OF the mine. Just as
the covering was removed there was n
