Hall Stars at Bat With Three Hits,
One a Home Run
After suffering defeat in the first
practice game of the season, by the
Milford High boys last Thursday, 4
he locals came back strong Thurs
lay and easily tanned Manager |
team from Andrewville. |
This team which is composed OF |
husky farmers near town was rated |
5ery high and several fans had pre-
licted a defeat for the High School |
boys It is said that Manager |
Wright has been two years in try
ng to get this game scheduled. |
avs, Hall and Ryan, the trio of
lurlers on the local staff eack took
turn on the mound. Laws shone
and for four innings al
owed the visitors four widely scat
cred hits, with not a man reaching
bird. Hall then took up the bur-
len and was equally as good. Slim
Ryan who pitched part of Tuesdays
,ame at Milford then followed Hall
md with such commanding lead
n the run column he was not forced
0 extend himself.
The weather was certainly not
made for baseball and the small
handful Of fans who shivered
the game were forced to
heer Justify and move around to
,eep warm.
With a few more days of good
Practice, the entire team will be on
dge for the opening of the season
It Laurel next Friday.
