TECH IS WINNER
IN FIRST GAME

Carnegie Tech displayed better all
around baseball good sense yesterday
in the game with Varsity at Morgan
town and walked off with the first
game of the series Al. The Varsity
out-hit the visitors but stupid work
on the base paths made It rather easy
picking for Hans Wagner's boys. Wag-
ner has taught the Tech bunch how
TO make the most of every hit. and
they do not throw away chances by
poor work on the bases.
Tech scored one in the first inning
on an error, a sacrifice and hit. They
added three more n the second after
two were out. Woods hit one man
with the ball and two singles and a
double followed sending in three tai
lies. A single and double gave West
Virginia her only run. 1t was made
in the second round. The score:
