GETTYSBURG IS
HITTING TEAM
Battlefield Boys Only Weak
ness Is Fielding; League
Doings

Hagerstown, Md, May 10. - One
thing interesting to note relative to
the records of the six teams compos-
ing the Blue Ridge Baseball League
up to the present this season, is the
wonderful improvement shown by
the Gettysburg team. This team, pi-
loted by Manager Ward, has nine
men, who have been hitting the ball
for $50. leading in batting and rank
ing second in the number of bases
stolen. The weakness of the Gettys-
burgians is their fielding.
Anxious to Hit Better
The pilots of the various teams are
almost without exception blazing the
way for their men to follow in bat
ting averages, Manager Jack Hurley
of the Hagerstown team, leading
with .555; Ward of Gettys-
burg has .423; Crooke of F'reder-
ick. .416; Hooper, Chambersburg
.45O, and Morris, Martinsburg, .2S5
Pitcher Howard of the local team
leads to date with strikeouts, having
II to his credit, while Baker, of Get
tysburg, is second with IA strikeouts
