brunswick was beaten al Athletic
Park last Wednesday lot 0. The game
was too one one sided to be interesting.
Handioee and Anderson did the battery
work for Martinsburg.
Hsgerstown won frJm the NJ. A. G.
team to in that town, Thursday
last. The game was close and interest
ing. Foreman pitched for Martinsburx
and Kenna Of the stanton team pitch
ed far the Marylanders.
The home boys turned the trick on
Hagerstown, Friday. winning by 3
to score. The game was a coed one
and resulted in the same score as the
day before, only the NJ. A. G.. team
getting the big end Of il. Handiboe
pitched well for Martinsburg and
Shrader for Hagerstown.
The most unsatisfactory game OF the
season was The one Saturday morning
with Winchester. Schrader of Hagers-
town, was on the slab for Martins
burg, and was pitching good ball and
held the visitors down. until the seventh
inning when two runs were scored. In
Martinsburg's half of the seventh,
three home players got on bases with
no hands out and things looked good
for big victory for the home lads, but
Winchester thought it was about time
to leave and pulled out for home; all
the men scored as no effort was made
to put them out and the visitors refus.
ing to play the game was forfeited to
the NJ. A. Z. 8 to 0, Jack Sinner, tn,
Winchester pitcher, was the only one
game enough To want so play the inn
ing game out. Winchester has caused
all the trouble in baseball in this sec
ton this season, forcing ell the anna
tedr teams into professionalism at a
| hervy expense and when the clubs get
sufficiently strong TO give them good
run for their m.,ney squealing at the
first opportunity.
The greatest surprise of all was when
the home boys, most Of them last
years Royal Blue players, defeated
the VI. A. &. team TO 2, Saturday af-
ternoon. Several OF the professionals
were out Of the game, but 1t would
have made little difference to Fred
| Cline, the local twirer, as he had all
kinds Of speeds and curves, aud his OPP
ponents could get only one or two
balls out Of the diamond Three hits
were made off Of him two OF
which were scratchy. Anderson caught
in good style and the boys only had
one error.
The home team won from the St.
| Aloysius club Of Washington, Monday
| morning, in loose game 8 TO 2, and
| lost III the afternoon to the same club
in holly contested contest 4 to 3
Foreman and Laughlan was the home
battery in the morning game and
Handiboe and Anderson in the after
noon.
The season Of the home club will
)on end.
The largest crowd OF the season at
tended the afternoon game Labor Day.
The most remarkable game IN the
history Of the major leagues was play
ed in Boston last Friday, when the
AT. letics Of Philadelphia defeated the
Bostonians after "A innngs 4 toll.
Hagerstown took both games from
Stanton, Labor Day, by a to score.
The score was the same in both con-
tests only in the first game 10 innings
were necessary.
The st. Aloysius bunch seem TO be
spasmodic players, playing good
game, one day and bum one next.
Thursday they lost out 10 to 0. John
son, lately Of Stauntsn. pitched for the
M. A. G. and the visitors could not
fiud them. On Wednesday they play
e good game and made the home
team play hard to win by 2 to
score
