THURMONT DEFEATED

THUKMONT DEfEAILU.t
Emmitsburg High School Had Hard
Time Especially in the Third Inning
When Thurmont Scored Seven
Runs.
Last Friday afternoon the Emmitsburg
High School scholars and alumni defeat
ed the Thurmont High School in close
game rather poorly played. The score
was 9 to S.the errors to 8, Emmitsburg
winning in both columns.
The game started out like baseball.
Stoner struck out. This gentleman
knows all about the. game-he lives in
Graceham or if he don't he ought to-,
Mr.. Stocksdale was out Rowe to Horner
and Wisotzkey pronounced like a cat
fight) bowled one to third and was out,
Chilean to Horner.
For the locals Eyster got to first some
how or other, Black made hit, Sellers,
fine young man, but little bashful,
struck out They say, and it booked
rather suspicious, that he was flirting
with little Willy White Wings and got
his eye damned when he was called out.
Sellers is good batter, bats his eyes and
sometimes the ball. Rowe has bad case
of chilblain. It's pity for him, if he
hadn't had basket he would have been
a good player. After making two bag
ger and finally landed on third base, his
feet began to tease him and Eyler put
him out just in time to make the score
10 in favor of Emmitsburg. 1t is not
known how Eyster got in that one run.
In the second inning the visitors went
out in one-two-three order. Creager the
best player on the field, flew out to Rowe.
Mr.. Foglc he's bird, played first base
for the Pikers, was intensely interesting
to the kids and enjoyed himself consider
able. He went out, Rowe to Horner.
Freshour struck out.
Carson Frailey, little out of training,
made hit, stole base and scored a run.
Mr.. Horner, who played first base for
the locals and did it very well, got as far
as third, SO he thought, but the umpire
thought different. Babe Frailey who re-
Gently joined the "Saur Kraut Brigade
along with Chilean, Eyster, Hoke and
Horner, scored a strike out. Chilean
made hit, Stokes drew base on balls
and Eyster knocked a pop fly to Creager
This ended the base ball. Score 10.
Now for the miscellaneous entertain
ment.
Paul Beard, this is a misnomer for
Paul's face is guiltless, the designation
though cannot be attributed to any fault
of Paul's for he raised one of Rowe's
wienwurst curves, which accounts for his
inability to raise a beard, and finally
scored run. Rouzer pulled himself loose
from the attraction in the surrey, soaked
the ball on the kisser, lightly ambled Ger
the green, and in the end reached home.
Rouzer, sometime during the game, was
struck on the wrist by sharp stone
which so incapacitated him that he failed
to feature in the score for the rest of the
performance. The fellow who threw the
missed was rude to Rolypoly. Eyler, next
up, knocked the ball where nobody
amt" and he too scored. Just at this
point somebody spilled a lemon and Bill
Snider appeared. Bill caught two fouls
with his feet. The Ringing Bros. are
trying to sign contract with Mr.. Snder
but up to the present writing, consider
ing the hopeless weather conditions Will
liam is too busy cultivating His monkey
wrench plants to think of any outside
contracts
When it was all over Thurmont had
scored seven runs. 1t took six innings
to overcome the lead and the combined
efforts of Rowe, Carson Fraley, thirty
six and half small boys, crate of lem
ons, sundry caustic remarks and divers
other things finally defeated the visitors.
