A special train from Winchester
brought over fifty fans to witness the
opener, all of whom was disappointed
at the poor Showing made by their
club.
Among those from Win chester who
witnessed the game were c. H. Bowen,
Jeff Stuart. Wooodson Moss, Judge
Benton, Clarence Boswell, Mr.. Bos-
worth, George Green and wife, Joseph
Lindsey and Robert Carr. the latter
representing the Winchester Daily
News.
Old Glory fioated proudly from the
pennant pole in the centerfield and the
appearance of the National emblem in
other parts of the field the park pre-
sented very patriotic scene.
When Kunkle disputed decision of
Umpire Kelley in the seventh inning
he was promptly elected from the
game. and was escorted from the field
by Patrolman Link. This was the only
occurance to mar the afternoon IS
sport.
Benton doomed up like shising star,
putting up an excellent exhibition ut
short, participating in a neat double
play. pulling down several hard
chances, occurred two clean drives and
pilfered two bases. His throwing 10
quick and accurate and if he continues
to improve he will set the circuit fire
before the season closes. His only
bobble was made on an easy echance.
TIVE home runs. "a single and one
three-baggei inst bad out of FIVE trips
to the plate. Pcpken performed in
this fashion and held down the initial
sack in an admirable manner. The
two drives over the left field fence
we're the harjest hit. on the local lot,
and went clean of the fence by twenty
feet. For his pains he received q
purse of something like $40 made up
among the fans.
Harrell and Goodman played with
their old-time snap. each counting four
runs. Out of four trips to the plate
Goodman.made three hits. On two oc-
casions he stole second and third, to-
tai of our stolen bases during the
game.
Finzell on third only had one
chance and retired the side in the last
inning. In this. position he showed up
to a great advantage. :even better than
in the outfield and hit the ball in
startling manner, getting three safe
ties out of three trips to the plate and
laid down couple of neat sacrifices.
Campbell and Wood played the out
held like veterans and pounded out a
two-bagger each.
Delehant. who was. at the receiving
end caught a brilliant game. He
handled himself we'll throughout the
contest and displayed remarkable
nerve when he was struck in the neck
by fouled ball. by sticking to the
game. He made several neat stops,
and threw bases well. His hitting
however was weak, but in the opinion
of the best judges he will improve in
this department and will prove a val
liable assistance behind the bat.
Blakenship demonstrated that he is
a hurler of more than ordinary ability
and Manager Lewis did the wise
thing in selecting his to pitch the
opener. Although at some stages he
displayed wildness yet in the pinches
be settled down and twirled champion
ship ball. In thu. fourth with no one
o1t, he exercised his skill, Walsh to
ground to Harrell, who nipped Wolf

kimble to fly to Wood. retiring the
side and relieving dangerous position
without the opponents scoring a run.
