BerrYYille. IA. Winchester. 8.

The BerryVille baseball team
waded into the Winchester boys
on the Moore field last Friday, and
when the post norton was held a
victory of II to , was chalked up.
Burchell was in good form. and
held them safe when men occupied
bases.
In the fifth inning Harry Gaver
was hit in the nose 10y sharp
bounding daisy cutter from
Grimm's bat, but pluckily contin-
ned the game. Considerable blood
smeared the greensward, but Gaver
was all right in 4 few moments.
In the Berryvil'e half of the
fifth inning, Alfred kerfoot was
hit on the head 10y thrown ball at
second base, For few moments
things looked serious, but Kerfoot
quickly recovered and celebrated
1t by stealing to third, from whence
he travelled home a moment later.
The feature of the game was a
running Catch of long fly into
left field by Walters in the seventh
inning, and a magnificent throw to
the plate. Glove, like Casey,
stepped up To the plate, and. after
having two strikes and three balls
called upon him, TANNED" the
next one in the nose. The ball
sailed along about ten feet inside
the foul line, and looked good for
at least two bases. Walters made
a hard run, and caught the ball
about two feet from the ground,
away down behind the mock-orange
bush which marks the foul line. 1t
was the prettiest catch seen on the
home grounds this year.
The batting order of the teams
was as follows:
Berryville - Gaver, Bird base;
Robey. shortStop; Dakeman, 1st
base; Kerfoot, I'd base; Moore,
catcher; Walters, left heId; Me.
Cormick, center field; jackson,
