In game featured by the num-
Dor Of errors made the West Virginia
Business College lost their first game
OF tho season Saturday afternoon to
the McClelland Bible class team by
the score Of IL to 8.
The lack Of practice Of both teams
accounts for the large score and many
errors. The pitching Of both AEnew
and Chcnnowcth waB good and with
proper support the score should have
been much smaller. The same teams
will play a series Of games later in
the season and with the practice they
will get in the meantime both teams
should put up different brand OF
