CROWD BALL WOULD
NOT HOLD ANY AIR
So High School Inter Class
Contests Become Tennis
Matches.

A puncture to the large crowd ball"
in practice at South Side park yester-
day afternoon made it impossible for
the various classes of the high school
to put on their crowd ball contest. In
stead tennis players were selected
from the various classes and an inter
class tennis tournament was held.
Carlyle Small and Samuel Rock, OF
the Sophomore class won the tourna-
ment, easily defeating their opponents
in both the semi-finals and the finals.
In the opening sets Hill and Dean
Of the Junior class were matched
against Small and Rock, the latter two
winning the first two sets, the first by
SO score. The second set was a
love set for the Sophomores who sue
ceeded in getting six games before the
Juniors won single game.
The other seminal match was be-
tween the Freshmen and the Seniors,
the Seniors winning the first two sets.
William Layman and orval Wolfe
were the Senior players and Robert
Morris and Paul Akens represented
the Freshmen class.
In the finals, Small and Rock ex-
perienced little difficulty in defeat
ing Layman and Wolfe. Coach Kahn
was the referee.

Hole at Home Plate
Injuries Two Men

A small hole Just in front of the
home plate at the South Side base.
ball diamond has been the result of
two very painful accidents to members
Of the city league baseball teams.
Last evening in the Mining Machin-
ery-Mid- West game, Jim Beech. third
baseman for the Mining Machinery
nine severely twisted his ankle while
sliding into the home plate. He was
carried off the field by friends, una
able 70 finish the game. 1t is very
probable that Beech will be out of
the game for several weeks as a result
OF the accident.
In the Monongah Glass-owens game
at the park Monday evening, "Buss"
Alredge left fielder for the former
team also twisted his ankle while
sliding into the home plate. Alredge
has been ON crutches and 1t is likely
that i win be some time until he is

Consumers Fuel to
Play Lumberport

Sunday afternoon at p. m. in the
town Of Lumberport, there will be a
baseball game between the Consumers
Fuel Company team of Downs and the
fast Lumberport team.
Manager Rothlisberger in announc-
ing the game, stated that Johnson
will do the mound work for the Con.
sumers with Brady on the receiving
end. The gas company team Is ex-
pecting to find Satterfield on tho
mound for Lumberport. Last year
Satterfield pitched a number of games
in this vicinity and his speed and
curves are not easy to hit, acco riding
to reports from number of Marion
county players who have faced bin.
Sunday will be his test. Should he
stand firm against those Consumers
sluggers, he can rightly call himself a
twirler.

George Jeffries, secretary-treasurer
for the Idamay baseball team, and one
of the active men from that town who
has helped to put Idamay on the base

pital in this city few days ago for an
operation for appendicitis. The oper-
alton was successful and Mr.. Jeffries
is now recovering.
Due to minor injuries to two mem
bers of the team ,Idamay will not play
baseball this Sunday. Beverage, one
of the most valuable men on tho Ida
may team. Is suffering from bursted

What is the matter with Babe
Ruth?
They ask it in the ball parks, on
the streets and in the homes.
Seems funny that a walloping swat.
ter, dandy outfielder and a corking
good pitcher, who started the season
by hammering out home runs almost
every trip to the plate, should be bat
ting $50 in his first 10 games.
Yet it is fact. Babe hasn't been
doing much. He's losing games when
Ed Barrow sends him to the slab. A
bad arm keeps him from making long
throws from the outfield. And at the
plate the opposing pitchers have his
number.
1t looks bad for the Red sox when
The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1919-06-05

Just now Babe is almost useless as
pitcher and nil as batter. His arm
won't permit nine innings OF hurting
and 1t won't permit him to hit high
ball.
He can still hit the low ones-hem
knock them out of the park-and It
doesn't hurt bit. But 1t is mighty
painful to strike at high ball-AND
THE PITCHERS s KNOW 1T AND
SMILE. They're dishing up lots of
highballs.
AS soon as Babes arm rounds to
he'll be back in winning stride
again and the Red Sox again will be
formidable as American League title
contenders. In the meantime the doc
tors are working on the arm and Ed
Barrow is praying.
The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1919-06-05

Babe is not in shape. In fact, they
dropped nearly every game after he
began to slip fast.
The homerun king, the seventh Won
der of hitters, the star pitcher and all
round handy man for Boston is at
present in the dub class.
Some say temperament did it-that
he couldn't get along with Barrow.
Well, Babe admits he and Barrow
have quarreled, but he says that isn't
the reason.
The real reason-and take Babes
word for it's peculiar injury to his
throwing arm, sustained in a game in
which Babe played left and had oc.
casion to make long throw to the
plate,
