Bull" Smiths Aggregation
Remembers the Fourth
with Vengeance.
(Carson)


The Clarksburg and Warrington
baseball teams met In battle royal
at Union Park Sunday AFTERNOON be-
fore one of the largest and most
enthusiastic crowds which has ever
assembled at the aold ball ground
the present season. The cause for
the extra turning out on this occa-
sion was the treatment AFFORDED
Smiths kids on, their recent trip,
the Fourth OF July, to Warrington
when the Clarksburg boys lost two
games, one, however. the first one
which was a pure and simple day
light robbery of the rankest kind.
and robbery of the sort which will
give Warrington a baseball black
eye for many full moons to come.
lCIarksburg won Sunday by the one
sided score OF to 1. completely
lquashing the Warrington team and
thereby more than getting revenge
for the treatment heretofore dished
tout by Warrington. Despite the
lone-sided score, the game was inter
esting as a close perusaI of this
article will show to you. II you
were not there, play the string out
and you will be put wise.
sold Lacquer Elmer Cannon was
sent upon the slab to be sacrificed
before the hungry local athletes.
cuppett was to have pitched for
the locals but was under the
weather, and in his stead Danley
was thrown into the breach, and
with stale" Quinn handling the
Indicator, the battle was on.
First Blood.
In the first inning Warrington
drew a blank, but for the locals
Quinn walked and after Moran was
disposed OF. went to second on
Smiths single to left. Blackey tap
ped to RIdgley who, got Quinn on
the line. and then came little Joe
Carduff, and singing to center
scored Smith. Skidmore few out.
Second Blood.
In the second inning each team
was blanked although Warrington
got Conoway on third he was left
there as the best Heller could dol
was to breeze In the third Man
nington tied the score, which was
an Xmas gift dtshed up to Inghram,
the old w. ]. player. when
Dawson let the missed third strike
through. and then followed this with
a passed ball, which put the big boy
On second, from where he went to
third on Cannon's out and scored
on Connor's single a moment later
when Coke hit to right for Man
nington's first and only hit until
the eighth inning.
Awful BOmhnrdment.
The heavy cannon was brought
into action by the local army in the
Hfth. Seeing that the tide of the
battle was about an even break and
deciding upon a new move and
change of position, General Smith
brought his heavy guns into action
at this time. Flanking the enemy
to the left. the first big gun was
fred. when, after Quinn missed {
Are, Moran shot good one to right
landIag himself on the enemy's I
second trench and although there in 1
grave danger of not getting back,
h. s life was spared when Smith /
went to the enemy's door by triple ]
shot and came in safe after Moran
when Blackey duplicated the same !
trick of his general. Blackey was c
killed at the plate. when he at ]
tempted to get back to his own J
army, when CarduR hit to Como {
way, but little Joe took big lead !
and got to second to be brought I
home when Skldmore shot single
to right. "Muggsy" McGaw did !
the expected by tanning and going ]
back to the hospital for repairs to {
his sighting eyes. s
Injury to Insult {
Elmer Cannon, the insulted
pitcher and operator of the rapid
fire gun for the enemy. claimed in-i !

by General Smith before the first
gun was fred, the local lads cut {
loose again.
