they were unable to hit Goodwin with any

CHERRY AND WHITE
WINS FAST GAME
High School Team Annexcs Match
With Umpire's Decisions
Against Them.

The local Highiets defeated West
Chester yesterday, 1915. This Was the
third game this week that Buck" Ram
say has worked in and he has had a per-
feet week, winning three in row.
From tho start of the game, the UNI
pirc's work did not please the Whining
ton fans. Ramsay, they thought, WAS
given altogether too many bad plate de-
cisions, being forced to layt hem right over
the centre, always to the batter's ad-
vantage The decisions on the bases were
on the same line.
Four hits, ono double, were oil the
safetics from Ramsays delivery, while
he famed 10 The best Ivans could do
was turn away four, while fourteen hits,
three for extra bases, were chalked against
him.
The sixth inning was Bucks" worst
frame, when he gave three passes, hit
two and was touched for two-bagger.
This was the only time Bucks con-
troll wavered. Five runs was the total coli
lected in this stanza.
In hopes of pushing over enough runs
in the eighth and ninth, the West Chester
boys twice changed their batting order.
The umpire refused TO apply the ruling in
this case. On several occasions during the
game Coach Dunn was tempted TO remove
the local team from the field when the
decisions leaned too far for the Pennsyl-
vanians. Capt "Chick" Lannan will
be with the locals again on Monday. His
alternate pitching will be big help to the
Highlcts. The score:

clouds in the West, had no terrors last
night for the thousands who wanted to
see the Ringing -Barnum- Bailey show
Once inside the big tent, the weather was
forgotten. About 10000 people attended
the two performances.
One section of the circus train was
delayed yesterday morning in reaching
the city, and the street parade, scheduled
to take place at 10, was delayed about
four hours. However, the crowds waited
for it, and followed it on to the show
grounds for the afternoon performance
A great number of people were in the
city from other parts Of the State for the
big show, and the towns close by Whining
ton were especially well represented.
The circus has lost none of its lure for
the young, and also for the older ones.
The crowds that turned out to see the
show yesterday and the one last week
evidence this. 1t would be hard to
evolve a substitute for the circus as an
amusement for the people.
