Hagerstown here today.

ttShcsOWh hNiS
Winchester here Saturday morning
Jupiter PluvIus has put a damper
on baseball games and festivals. The
festival for the benefit of the club
cleared up nice sum but not 70 much
as was expected.
Gus Rutland, who has been playing
second base TO the NJ. "A. @. team, has
joined the Montreal club of the East
ern league.
Sterzer proved too many for Hag-
erstown last Wednesday at that place,
shutting them out 5 to O..
The NJ. A. Z. boys put up good
game behind him. McGar for Hag-
erstown also lid good work in the box
as ouly runs were scored Off of him
and his support was ragged.
The games with Winchester for Fri
dav and with Hagerstown for Satur-
day and Monday were called off on ac-
count of the bad weather.
Winchester is Martinsburg's stumb-
ling block. In the five games played
our boys have only scored two runs
and haven't come any ways near de-
feating the Virginians.
The score on Thursday in Winches-
ter was to /, Winchester earning
two runs and Martinsburg one. The
other four runs were secured ON errors
as our boys seem to get stage fright
! when the Winchester boys come around
and make many misplays and forget
/ how to use the lumber. When Win
chester comes this week the home bows
will either defeat them or give up the
| task.
The Elks and Eagles had battle
| royal at Athletic paak last Wednes-
day. the former winning 10 to Z. The
boys surprised the natives by pulling
off some great stunts. A few more
games like that will develop few stars
for the big team.
Berkeley Springs has lost her nerve
and the home club can win most any
old time now, as the score of 8 to 3
shows by our boys getting the big end
at the Springs, Tuesday. Miller the
great twirler, was an easy proposition
while Foreman for Martinsburg held
their opponents down in good style.
The Doctors could not stand the pace

distapced them % to s. 1t was siren
uous contest and while several Of the
players performed well, it is to be
hoped the majority of these ''srtists"
are better at their profession than at
ball tossing

With the memory OF two defeats to stir

went after the "Medics" yesterday and
before the end OF the game had them so
badly off that II was Just like taking

for supremacy on the diamond, and
crowd OF about 200.
In anticipation OF a hard battle Man
ager Williams and Capt. Palmer or the
LAWYERS made a very careful selection
OF the nine best baseball representatives
OF the bar, with the result that the bat
ting order was headed by Crane. Barry
and Paine, three players who won fame
on victorious Brown mines In past years
The problem OF getting twirler who pos
sessed sufficient skill 10 hold down the
hard hitting Doctors was settled by the
choice OF Heltzen. the former Mapleville
first baseman. This player made his de-
but and covered himself with spangles.
All the credit of the victory cannot be
given to him in view OF the fact that
the Lawyers had on their batting toys
and laced out l2 hits. The contortions
through which the Doctors went In efforts
10 locate the elusive sphere were con-
tinual source OF delight TO the followers
OF the Lawyers in the stands. In addition
Hetzen caused nine batsmen TO fan the
ozone and allowed but two free walks TO
first base.

the referee could get fairly started on the
count. Granders seconds threw up the
sponge The action was useless, for Al
could scarcely have gotten 20 his feet

Grander had the advantage OF Muir

at catchweights. which probably favored
the Phoenixville man somewhat, but the
rules which permitted the men 10 hit on

on the break and several times he got
this in with telling effect.

Bradshaw used to be good as twirler

believing he had q chance TO steal the
race. doubled his efforts. In twinkling
he caught the leader and before Miller
was able TO force his flly back 10 her
top speed again Baringo had passed the
winning post in front by three parts OF
a length.
The stewards called Miller before them
and questioned him. He said In explana-
ton that the trainer OF Revenue told him
before the race that the filly was short
OF work and not TO make too much use
of her He eased her up In the stretch,
he declared. because she was growing
leg-weary, but he did not think she would
quit racing so suddenly.
The stewards just warned him.
II was unfortunate for Miller's rec
ord--to say nothing about the loss OF the
money his hackers should have won--that
he lost the race on Revenue. II that hlly
had won he would have ridden three win
ners during the afternoon.
