On Friday afternoon last a base
ball team representing Charles Town
High School went to Berryville to
play a scheduled game with the High
School team of that city, A sudden
shower prevented play from starting
and on that ground the manager of
the Berryville team refused to forfeit
the guarantee agreed upon, although
only few hours before they had
telephoned to Charles Town team to
come on. The Charles Town High
School boys were rightfully indig-
nant and cancelled all return engage
ments. The fans of Charles Town
consider that their boys have been
served very shabby trick and are
loud in their denunciations of Berry
ville's act, though they do not lay the
blame so much on the Berryville
team which seems made up of real
sports, but rather on the manager,
who although member of the Berry
vile High School faculty appears
rather inexperienced in baseball to
hold such an important position.
The nine will journey to Shop
herdstown on Wednesday to play the
College End team. A large crowd of
followers of the national past time
will accompany the boys, who expect
to make it two straight. E. Kable or
