The first athletic contest Of the
school year occurred Friday, when
Pennsville locked horns with Bev-
erly here. The Beverly boys Were
small, but gritty. They seemed
very determined to smack the ball,
scoring nine hits in seven innings,
in spite of the good hurting of Best
and Hilaman. The boys from the
old home town were better able to
circle the bases than their ad-
versaries, making six runs in as
many times at bat. The high point
OF the game was Tracy's hit over
third base for homer in the sixth
inning, breaking the tie score Of 5-5.
Henderson occupied the mound for
Beverly and threw a fast ball that
was hard to hit. Supt, Davidson of
Stockport umpired. Pennsville goes
to Stockport seeking scalps next
Friday.
