We had lively game of baseball last
Saturday with the Western Maryland
team from Hagerstown, our boys winning
by score OF five TO six. There was a
lot OF scrapping over decisions ofthe UNI
pire, E. w. Athey, both sides kicking
loud and long. Rogers covered himself
with glory by sending three-bagger into
right field, while waste made three hits,
each of them good for two bases. In the
last half of the ninth inning, with two
on bases, and the score standing D to D,
Harry Maddox went to the bat. The
rooters implored him TO do something,
He spat upon his hands, pulled his cap
down over his eyes and stood like Hora-
thus at the bridge until good ball came
along. He Swatted it into right field for
a safe hit, and Muldoon skedaddled home
with the winning run. The crowd went
wild with Joy and Maddox took his place
in the hall of fame Athey pitched a
splendid game, and il is predicted that he
will make fine pitcher with practice and
further development.
The Brunswick team, which puts up
the most interesting article of baseball
furnished by any OF our visitors, played
against the locals here on Tuesday, and
we are sorry to report that the game
wound up with scrap again. In the
fourth inning Brunswick got two runs,
and there was nothing further doing until
the sixth. when ShepherdStown began
batting streak. waste led off with athree-
Dagger and Rogers, M. Andrews and
Kerns kept right up with the good work
until we landed three runs. In the
seventh we piled up four more, while
Brunswick added two in the seventh and
three in the eighth. The visitors failed to
score in their half OF the ninth, and when
ShepherdStown went to the bat the score
was tie, seven TO seven. waste got
around to third, and when Rogers struck
the ball he made break for home. The
ball got there about the time that he did
Stultz, of Brunswick, who was umpiring
that inning, declared that he was out. 1t
was stated that he had first called the
runner safe, and had changed his decis-
ion. Stultz denied this. AS the run de-
cided the game if it were allowed, Shop
herdStown contended for il StrenuouSly,
while Brunswick just as vigorously re-
sisted Neither would yield and no COM
promise could be effected, so the Shop
herdStown team claimed the run and the
game, while Brunswick called the whole
thing off. Moler and Stutz umpired the
game in a style beyond criticism, taking
alternate innings, until the wind-up. Our
new pitcher, M. Andrews, won the hearts
of the rooters, not only pitching a fine
game but proving himself good hitter
besides, landing one up aganstthe center
field fence waste also showed himself
slugger of the first class, making three
hits OF the sort that count fast.
What promises to be great game OF
baseball is scheduled for next Tuesday
afternoon at O'Clock, when the Fats and
Leans will contest. The lineup is a
lovely one, as may be seen by the follow
ing:

well, I'd b.; Dr. Gibson, S. s.; Robert
Grove, Sd b.; Frank Myers, |. E.; David

row, c. Substtutes-J. E. Schley, c.

in weight and girth the Fats far outclaSS

Admission Is cents, and everybody is in
vited to attend, for the Association needs
the money. A. S. cambridge is to be the
umpire, and the game will be decided
strictly on its merits, as he doesn't know
a thing about the rules.
