the Legion team for the third time
this season Wednesday morning, when
Sandy Baker and his snappy club took
the local team over, 4 to 3. The game
was tied al three all when the visi-
tors came TO bat in the ninth. Sny-
der, first man up. drew pass from
Brandy Myers. He was sacrificed to
second. When Breckenridge flied
out. things looked good, for Patton,
Winchester's hurler, didn't look heavy.
But he drove one by Legge in shorstop.
Jack Snyder threw the ball to the plate
from left field. The ball was at the
plate ahead of the runner. but took
several bounceS, so that Shipley had
difficulty in getting il on the man. In
the excitement he slipped across the
plate with he winning run. In the
first inning Winchester scored two
runs before the locals could turn
around. But in Shepherdstown's first,
three runs were scored before Patton
could settle down to pitching. After
that first inning he made the Legion
men roll over and play dead, and was
not again in serious trouble. Win
chester scored another in the sixth.
Myers pitched effectively throughout
the game, and only the break in the
last inning ruined things. Hugh N
Pendleton, of Pittsburgh, called them
from behind the bat, and handled the
game in fine style.

The seamen's strike here has had
a tremendous effect all over the

fhave been so successful in forcing
their demands that they now talk
of going into the shipping business

or GOLF GAME


six hundred years and more an
old shepherd in Scotland grew tire9
az doing nothing all day but look
after his sheep 80 he amused him
self by knocking 9 stone about with
his crook. It interested him to see
how far, he could knock that little
stone and how he could get it out
when 1t fell into grassy hoflows or
among other stones. He chose as
round a stone as possible and put a
distinguishing mark upon it.
One day he mentioned this pas
time to the shepherd in the next
field, who tried it, too. Then they
made some Of the places more diff
ficult and measured OF definite
points and goals. At night. on their
homeward way they would swap
yarns. They measured OF their
holes in a circle, because in that
way they could keep watch over
their sheep, and they marked their
holes with q tag Of wood attached
to a stake. Soon all the shepherds
Of the neighborhood were following
their example.
