READY FOR PITT
GAMES NEXT WEEK {
West Virginia Hopes to Land
Battles From Speedy
Pennsylvanians,

MORGANTOWN, May 81. Noun
taineer fans are looking forward to
the a1l-important games with the
University of Pittsburgh nine,
which is carded to play here on
Monday and Tuesday of next week
Both the Mountaineers and Pan
Tiers are well up in the struggle
for tri-state honors and the series
is one of the most important on the
Varsity's schedule of the year.
West Virginia and Pitt first met
on the diamond in the spring OF
1895, the local outfit romping off
with a 1876 victory. Since that
time nearly thirty games have been
played and the Mountaineers have
been victorious on no less than
twenty occasions. Pitt hast long
been West Virginia's supG<ior on
the gridiron, but in baseball the
M ountaineers have not yielded au
inch since that first game twenty
seven years ago. Through all the
years the Varsity tossers have
more than held their own and
turned in twice as many victories
as the Panthers.
On paper the Mountaineers
should cop both ends of the com
ing series, but newspaper VIC
tories have fallen through 50
many times this spring that the
Mountaineer outfit is taking noth-
ing for granted Pitt, according to
information received here, has a
strong and well-balanced club that
is much stronger than its record
to date indicates. Hard-luck and
misfortune has followed the Pan
theirs all during the present cam
paign and they have not as yet
shown their real strength.
The games on Monday and Mem
orial Day should both be hotly con.
tested battles, with overflow crowds
in attendance. West Virginia
hopes to increase her standing in
the tri-state section by turning IN
a double victory over her old rivals
and will fight every minute to that
end
