Juniors, 6; BeFryYllle, 0.

The Winchester Juniors easily
defeated a patched-up team yeStcr-
day afternoon by u score OF g to O..
Shepherd, who was really too
sick to play, pitched a good game,
but he was So weak that ne could
not field his position in his usual
good style.
The visitors scored four runs in
the first inning, but could do little
with Shepherds curves thereafter.
Cooper pitched high-class ball
for the visitors. and was ably sup
ported.
Shacklett had his right hand
painfully split by a foul tip and
had to be carried from the field.
Ills work was taken up by Nat
Smallwood, who did well, consid-
erlng his lack of practice.
While the score looks one-sided,
II was a pretty game, and, with a
lull team behind Shepherd, would
have resolved itself into a pitchers
battle from the start.

Town and County Cooperate.

In the Warren Sentinel we find
a communication from School
Superintendent q. +. Roy. jubi-
Jantly telling what Warren county
and Front Royal have secured from
the State in the aid of their educa-
tiOnal enterprise. Mr.. Roy says
that Warren is the one county in
Virginia that receives the maxi
mum amount allowed by law for
specific purposes. The reason is
the earnest disposition manifested
by the people OF the county and OF
Front Royal TO help themselves.
We think = large part of the credit
for these gratifying results is due
TO the Front Royal Board OF Trade.

"Ambsrins" Establishment Closes

Finding, after a fair trial, that
the sale of "Amberine" in Berry
vile could not be made TO pay, the
Robert Portner Brewing Company,
of Alexandria, on Saturday ordered
their local agency closed.
Agent White, who had charge of
the local establishment, informs us
that the other agencies-at Win
chester, Charlottesville, Manassas.
and other towns we're also closed
up Saturday night, as the venture
had been a losing one in all the
towns in which agencies were es-
tablished.
The reason for the failure of the
Berryville establishment is proba-
bly, the same as that which caused
the other agencies to be closed
the fact that the public could not
be induced to buy the "Amberine"
In bulk, as no less than six bottles
would be sold, and it could not be
consumed where sold.
1t was very palatable and
pleasant drink, but the people
would not buy it in quantities.
All this is merely another proof
of the fact that saloons are sup
ported by the casual drinker. and
not 10y the man who buys in bulk.
If the "Amberine" agency here
had sold single bottles. to be con
sumcd on the spot. they would
have done Il rushing business; but
1t was announced by the Portner
officials that it was their intention
To make the "Amberine" agencies
as little ike saloons rs possible.
and they held to that policy to the
last.

"SChaIpsrS" SCalped..

The big Indians" who tackled
the locals on Moore Field last
Thursday afternoon in the presence
of the best crowd OF the season,
were scalped by the local tossers
by a score of - To ;. after "A hard
fought and exciting game.
The locals pitcher, Shepherd, ,
was opposed by Dan Shepherd,
who demonstrated that hasn't for
gotten the gentle art of pitching
by striking out five of the regulars
and fielding his position in good
style.
Old Reliable Butch Young
handled the receiving end for the
Indians" and his throwing TO
second was feature, while Frank
and Alfred Kerfoot starred at
short and second. The prettiest
play for the Indians occurred
when jim Foley grabbed hot liner
between first and second, with one
hand.
For the regulars, Mocre starred
at first and in batting, his one
handed catch Of difficult foul ,
after a hard run, bringing the
crowd To its feet. He was ably
seconded 10y Gaver, who covered
all kinds of ground at short and
ran bases daringly. The battery
work of Shepherd and ShackIett
was high class, twelve strike. outs
being credited to them.
Beall, in right for the regulars,
received a badly split finger, while
Alfred Kerfoot was badly spiked
at second by Jones, the little left
fielder of the regulars.
Umpire Shewbridge, Of Summit
Point, who ofhciated, had a busy
day, filed with close decisions and
much "cussing.' but managed t.
pull through with his life and limt
undamaged.
While the receipts were not aS
large as anticipated, the money
received went long way toward
the expenses of the bali club.
