Shepherdstown dropped its first en-
counter with the National Tube Oom-
pany of McKeesport, Pa, on Wednes-
day by the score of S to I. This was a
listless game from start to finish. The
local boys made seven errors behind
Hulvey, who had II strikeouts to his
credit. Had they given him any kind
Of support at all there might be diff
ferent tale to tell. Hulvey pitched a
mighty good game and had the
McKeesport lads guessing at all stages
of the game. Veterley, the visitors
catcher, was the hitter of the day, hav-
ing three hits out of FIVE trips to the
plate. Snyder had to leave the game
again at the beginning of the seventh,
his bruised heel causing him too
much pain to continue playing. The
disappointment Of our local fans at
losing this game was alleviated by
reason of the Joy Of Manager Hugh
N. Pendleton for the iron men. We
all love Mr.. Pendleton-and, besides,
we wanted to encourage him. The
second game with the McKeesport
team will be played this Thursday
morning at ten o'clock. We will try to

then the big game-the tie game-will
be pulled off on Friday at the same
hour. Yesterdays score:
