TEAM GOING STRONG

Last Thursday afternoon Shepherds
town defeated Uncle Sandy Baker and
ms nephews, OF Winchester, in a thrill
ing exhibition of the national pastime
Inc score was 2 to |. The Winches-
ter team came supported BY a consider
able contingent of loyal rooters, but
after the first inning they didn't have
much to root for. In the first inninr
Marshall led of with a clean single
through short, and a minute later
sprlnted for the second sack when
Brandy Myers made a bad throw To
eaten him mapping. He romped home
when Pope contributed another clean
hit. The next three Winchester plav-
ers went down in order. Shepherds.
town wasted a chance TO even things up
their half of the opener. SNYDER led
OH with hit, and as he started IN
second on the second ball pitched Mo-
Ter laid down a bunt. Weems threw
wild to first, and Snyder landed on
third, and Moler at second. Crowl
glanced high fly over short. which
Baker missed in an attempt to intro
duce new contortion act. SNYDER
started for home, but was thrown out
by yards by Marshall, who had run in
from left field. Mckee hit line drive
to left, which Marshall speared by a
beautiful one-hand catch, and Moler
was doubled up at third, ending the
inning and choking what ought to have
been fine start. In the fourth
Myers walked, and an error by Baker
and hit by Moler produced a run for
the home team. In the fifth inning
the game was won for Shepherdstown,
Rogers led off with a hit, and after
Clark and Mcdonald had been retired,
Rice and Myers both hit safely, and
Rogers crossed the plate with what
proved to be the winning run. SNYDER
famed, ending the inning. That was
all the scoring there was on either side.
After the first inning, Myers held
Winchester under his thumb all the
time, and allowed but two more hits.
Weems likewise pitched good ball, but
was nicked eight times by the Shep-
herdstown batterS. In fact the battery
work on both sides was clever. Brack-
enridge for Winchester caught a good
steady game, and Rice's work was his
best of the year, in our opinion. The
box score, which follows, relates the
