ThurmOnt 6:
Last Tuesday Md. Medical college from
Baltimore journeyed to Echo Field and
was handed defeat by the score OF IL
to l. In order to give j. Connolly rest
for the hard Villa Nova game which came
the following day, Harkins was chosen
to do the twirling for the Mountaineers.
His work proved too much for the doc"
tors, only four scattered hits being made
off his delivery and he struck out IL bats
men. The features of this game was f.
Connelly's home run.
Wednesdays game was a little more
difficult. The strong Villa Nova team
who played the Carlisle Indians on Tues
day and won by II score of to 5, came
here with the hopes of adding another
victory to their list, from the beginning
of the game until our boys last bat in
the ninth inning the visitors had the
game S to 8, but the ninth chalged the
tune. 1t was in this inning that M. S.
M, tied the score which resulted in three
extra innings to decide the victory. This
game is considered as one of the pretti-
est ever played on Echo Field. The game
was marked by fast fielding and clean
hitting. The M. S. M. boys put up
fighting game and played ball of profess
sional brand, although the Mountaineers
had more errors they eXcelled their OPP
ponents on the field going after every
thing in view and spelling many base
hit. Barry was easy for the local boys
while Connolly pitched mastery game,
holding the visitors down with men on
bases. Kelly, the local short stop, spraln-
ed his ankle while sliding to third in the
first inning. Here is how the twelfth
inning was played: Barrett singled but
was caught at second on E. Connelly's
bunt; Connolly stole second and scored
the winning run when c. Keiy's ground
err proved too hot for Skeletons handling.
Connelly's pitching was without a doubt
feature of this game.
