WESTMINSTER TAKES ANOTHER.
Defeats MechanicsviIIe Athletic Club
5.S,

Last Saturday there was played on
College Field, one Of the most inter
esting games that has, been played
| there for some time. The strong Me-
chanicsville team wutcl is one of the
strongest around here was defeated
by the local boys to 3.
Up to the fourth inning the score
was Q to 0. Twice previous to the
fourth inning Mechanicsville had a
man on third with only one man down.
Here Is where Mehring showed his
effectiveness, for he struck out the
two following men each time.
Westminster scored all it's runs in
the fourth inning. Gehr reached first
on an infield error, took second and
third when Bitzel slipped up on
Fogle grounder. Smith hit to third
and the bases were full. Chrest
singled sending Gehr and Fogle
home. This put Smith on third and
Chrest took second on the throw in.
l.. Smith struck out and Arnold the
next batter walked. This filled the
bases. Boyle forced j. Smith at the
plate. Steffy cleared the bases with
a long single center. Mehring wound
up the inning by striking out. Me
chanicsville made itE runs in fifth,
seventh and ninth innings.
The features of the game we're Mehr-
ing's effectiveness with men on bases,
Smiths sensational fielding, Steffy's
timely hit, and Munroe's running
