SHEPHERD COLLEGE NOTES.


stride, and in the last week annexed
TWO WINS. The first team TO go down
10 defeat vas the Frederick School for
inc Deaf. Lefty Willis did the huri.
ing Tor the college outfit. and was in
rare FORM. He had the MARYLAND lads
hteraiiy eating out of his hand. The
sientees put up an excellent showing,
numerous times executing snappy PLAYS
that Drought forth the appause Of the
spectators. Metty behind the plate for
them was an excellent receiver. This
Fellow did the bulk Of the hitting for
ms team, securing a single and a two
oaSe wallop. As before stated, Willis
mad everything on the ball. His con,
troi was perfect, and with his curves
breaking on both corners OF the plate
caused fourteen of the opposing aggre-
CATION TO swing in vain. Newt Nc
nee was the batting hero of the day
WIN TWO singles and long two-base
MT TO deep center field. The final score
was 6 to I.
Saturday afternoon Harper's Ferry
High School came TO Shepherdstown
and played the Y. M. C.. A. team of
Shepherd College, who easily won the
game 10 to |. Knode was On the
mound for the Y and was in mid-sea-
son form, holding the lower graders
to two hits and one run. Some feat,
Willis had better watch his position
with the regulars. Shipe, the speedy
hrSt-sacker for the Y connected with
one of Storms fast ones and slammed
1t over the right-held fence for a home
run. We think il rather nice that the
high School boys can retain such old
timers in their outfit as Unper and
Benjamin. However, the Bridgeport
hurting ace put them to shame and
made them look like their fellow class,
mates.
Tuesday afternoon the college boys
Iourneyed to Winchester and tried
conclusions with Peyton Marshalrs
team of s. V. A. Willis was slated TO
twirl this game. He was evidently I'D
against the real thing, as the score
would indicate, it being 8 to 8. Shep-
herd College was the first to score,
putting across two counters in the
first inning. They scored again in
the third. S. V. A. retalliated in their
half by tying the score at three all.
they counted again in the fourth, put
ting them In the lead. They held
this lead until the sixth, when the COL
leee boys showed another run across
the pan. About this time some one cut
the mooriHgs of the balloon and as
the college boys came to bat in the
old lucky seventh" the ascension be-
gan. Before it had entirely disap-
peared from view Mckee, walper,
Carter and Harris crossed the coveted
spot with four runs and the game.
Willis, realizing the greatness Of the
moment, turned on full steam and the
5. V. A. lads were turned back in the
one, two, three order. Willis had
eleven strikeouts to his credit. Tabler
was the amateur Babe Ruth Of the
Festivities, garnering four hits out of
six trips to the plate. Mckee and
Reinhart each had three out of five
1t is singular thing that the Shep-
herd College contingent decorated
S. V. A. twice this season with the
crown of defeat, inasmuch as S. ".
A. applied the same ceremonies to
Randolph Macon Academy, of Front
Royal, who in turn defeated S. C. twice
this season.
The college team left this morning
for a three-days trip through southern
Pennsylvania. This afternoon they
meet the strong Penn State Forestry

School at Shippensburg, and Saturday
they wind UP at Gettysburg with The
high school team of that place
