BELINGTON HIGH HUM
BLES WESLEYAN RESERVES

The Belington High Sshool added
another victory to their list when they
defeated Wesleyan Reserves in a loose
but rather exciting game here Friday.
After the smoke Of the battle had
cleared away the score stood II to A
in favor of the high school,
The High School hit the ball to all
corners of the lot; and that coupled
with the errors Of the Wesleyanites
enabled them to carry off an easy VIC
tory
"Chick Kittle" was on the mound for
Belington, and he was SO generous
that he only allowed the Wesleyan
batters 6 hits. He held his oppo-
nents at his mercy throughout the
game. Kittle besides pitching in excel
lent form and fielding in league style,
landed out three hits 1.-TWO of them
being two baggars) had two runs and
three stolen bases marked to his Gre
dit. Besides Kittles sensational hit
ting, Moore and Right each had two
hits marked up for them.
The Belington boys showed marked
improvement over last Saturdays
game in every department, and the
showing was very gratifying to the
rooters. The arrangement of the
batting order was especially notice
able.
