ARE
GREAT RUN GETTERS

as Many as Their OPP
ponents.


MoRGANToWN, June s-West vir-
ginia university's crack baseball team
which meets the Wheeling team here
Friday and Saturday in the most i'm.
portant series of the year, as it has
developed has scored SO runs to only
20 for her opponents in the fifteen
games that have been played this
year. West Virginia's defense has
been Smost air-tight. On five occa-
sions she has shut out her antago-
nists; three times she has allowed
but one run; five times she has allow
ed two; once she has allowed three
and on one occasion her foes achieved
total OF four, this total, by the way,
coming for Wheeling in that memor.
able contest which was the 'Varsity's
ony defeat at home this year.
This result has been achieved by
excellent pitching as well as by the
most brilliant fielding seen here in.
years. Latterner and Lemley on the
mound and West Virginia whole CO.
terie of infielders and outfielders have
performed most creditably, not to
mention the stellar work of Martin
behind the bat.
The Wheeling games will be very
hard to win. Manager Yoke of the
visiting team declares that his aggre.
CATION is forty per cent better even
than when it defeated the Varsity
here six weeks ago and it is very
doubtful If West Virginia is that much
improved, though there is no doubt
that the Old Gold and Blue is much
stronger.

M0NODGAH BEAT
. THE B0TTLENAkERS
Interesting Game in the

Night.

By timely hitting and making every
init count for at least one run, Mo-
'nongah Glass defeated owens in their

|and thereby stepped into first place
ln the city league. Score: Monongah

I'm the first inning with two runa
when G.. Boise, Owens star slugger
Pitt TO the bill board in center field
for home run with one man on
lbase. The GlassJnakers came back
srong and scored four runs in the
rst inning by punching hits and
~ a series OF very costly errors on
he part OF the Bottlemakers. Again
|in the fourth inning Monongah Glass
punched four hits and scored four
more times.
The East Side players were able
Ito get more hits than the Twelfth
street boys but being unable to hit
lat the proper time their safeties were
Iall in vain.
r. Long was unusually strong in
the pinches and pitched alright base
ball when the Owens players were
|pn bases. - Boise deserves much
credit for the fine, work he did on
the mound for Owens, and had his
support been a little better there
|might have been another team lead
ting the league.
Herb Barnes umpired the game
and satisfied all with his just deci-
sions. The feature of the game came
IN the fifth inning when "Bev" Gar
