ShepherdSt0wn Wins Every Game.
Notwithstanding the fact that Hag.
erstown showed a yellow streak. last
Thursday by refusing to come here for
a game that they were in honor bound
to play in Shepherdstown, baseball en-
tbusiasts witnessed fine contest on
the home grounds. Secretary Lucien
Reinhart got busy with the telephone
when he found that aagerstown had
Aunked, and made an arrangement
with the Brunswick team to come
here. They arrived about four o'clock,
and found a good audience waiting
for the exciting game that followed.
Brunswick had fairly good team, the
pitcher, Keller, doing excellent work,
with Mari catching. Grayson and
Kerns were the battery for Shepherds
town, and neither made an error.
The local team made two runs in the
first inning Brunswick scored in the
second inning and made two runs In
the third, giving them a lead that
they kept until the seventh, the cold
chiils in the meantime rambling up
and down the spinal columns of our
local rooters. Shepherdstown made
two runs in the seventh, and Grayson
after that kept the visitors down so
that they got no further run. And
go we won by score of 5 to 4. MOler
was the umpire.
Saturday select team from Mar
tinsburg presented itself to our Won
dering view, and we just ct EN- up.
We ran safely around the diamond
eleven times, while the visitors found
the home plate. but once. Grayson
pitched fine game, allowing only one
scratchy sort Of a hit, and Kerns
caught another errorless game. &.
Gettle pitched his best for Martins
burg, but his support was 80 poor ne
was ready to 60 home after the first
half hour. Grayson struck out seven
men and Gettls eight. Sissler won the
applause of the multitude by lining
out lovely two. Dagger, while Musser
showed head work that proved con-
clusively that he was up to snuff and
on to his job all the time. The game
was too one.sided to be thrilling, and
by the time it was over everybody
was yawning. DR.. Wilson umpiredp
and he caused constant pain to Pitcher
Gettle.
Our browning achievement was
pulled off yesterday, when We whipped
our inveterate enemy, Charles Town,
in closely contested game by score
of four to three. The visitors came
over With the intention of winning,
having made places on their team for
three strong Winchester players, but
we were too heavy for them. Gray
son pitched splendid game for Shep-
herdstown, striking out eleven men and
allowing but three hits. he was ably
supported behind the bat by Kerns,
until the latter was disabled by hav-
ing his hand torn, and then E. Wood
finished the game in faultless style.
Cooper and Walker were the battery
for Charles Town, and they were all
right. Though Cooper struck out but
seven men, he allowed only FIVE hits.
The field support was also very good.
In the first inning Shepherdstown
made couple of costly errors that
gave Charles Town two runs, and 10"
cal rooters began to look sick. But
the home team pulled itself together
and the visitors scored only once after
that, while we piled up four and won
out. The game was hot one from
start to finish, and the visitors kicked
long and often. Several times they
threatened to quit, and they came
mighty near crying once or twice. A
considerable number of friends came
over from Charles Town to cheer the
boys along, but we put the players out
90 fast there was not much to do in
the way of enthusing. The visitors
took their defeat very hard, and we
will have trouble winning the next
game when we play them on their
grounds. Still, we think that we have
another drubbing in store for them.
Two base hits were made by P. Wood
and Triplett, OF the home team, and
by Johnson for the Visitors. The
only earned runs were two made by
Shepherdstown.
