Marshall Won Second Game as
Result of "Just Plain
Luck," He Says.
Not In the least discouraged over
the tact that the Wesleyan baseball
team won only four out of thirteen
games played on Its southern trip,
Harry A. Stansbury, athletic director
at the Methodist institution, at the
nead of the entire WeBlcyan squad,
1 breezed Into the city Saturday night,
j The team came here from Huntington,
where they were defeated by the Marshall
College team two straight gaines.
The third game, which was scheduled
to have been played Saturday, was
called off on account of the had
weather.
The Wesleyan squad spent the night
here and was scheduled to leave for
Buckhannon at 10:40 o'clock this
morning.
"Just plain luck," was the way
Stansbury characterized Marshall's
victory over Wesleyan Friday. "The
Marshall team Is the luckiest bunch
I ever ran Into. We tad them 5 to 2
up to the eighth inning and Morrison
noo pitvuiug a jYiamcwBon. Then,
all of a sudden, those Marshill fellows
had one of their lucky hitting streaks
and when the smoke cleared away they
had tied the score. They won out In
the ninth by some more lucky hitting."
Most of the members of the team
were worn out when they reached the
city Saturday night, having travelled
2,000 miles In the last nine days, play- t
Ing thirteen games. Three games ,
were called off on account of Inclement
weather. The games called olf were 0
one each with Marshall College, Navy t
and Virginia Polytechnic Institute. c
Defeats suffered by the Methodists v
on their southern trip, Stansbury said,
were due to the fact that the Wesleyan
team had done no training at all be- r
fore they went on the trip. However. "
the games played on tbe trip furnished
plenty of practice for the team, and
Stansbury feels confident that his team
will cop both of the games to be played
with Muskingum College on April 28
and 29. In the meantime the squad
will be given hard workouts dally on
the college athletic field.

ThlB team played all the scheduled

Much of the success of the Bristol

Saturday
First Game of High School
Season to Be Played
with Grafton.
Although keenly disappointed because
the bad weather Saturday
"cheated us out of a victory over
the Shlnnston team," members of
the Washington Irving high school
baseball team Saturday night began
planning the strategy with which'
they hopo to conquer the strong,Grafton
team, which appears on the local
diamond next Saturday. The
game will be played at Norwood
park.
Next Saturday's game will he the
first to be played In the recently
formed Monongahela Valley High
School Baseball League, all the
games scheduled for yesterday bavins
been called off on account of the
rain, snow and low temperature. Besides
the Clarksburg-Shlnnston
game, a contest scheduled to have
ben played between the Morgantown
and Qrafton teams was called oft on
account of the, weather conditions.
With the weather permitting, the
local squad; under the direction of
Coach Arnett, will be on tbe field every
afternoon this week, getting in
snape xor me corneal wnn oituiwu.
Coach Arnett la of the opinion that
he has the best team ever turned out
by the local high school, and this
opinion Is shared by everyone who
has seen the squad work' out . The
pitchers will probably be allowed to
let themselves out In this wek's practice.
From Gratton come reports that
the high school team ot that city Is
one of the best In years and Is rapidly
rounding Into form, and It can
he safely predicted that the game
Saturday will be a fast one.
On the next Saturday following
the Grafton game, the local team
will cross bats with the Morgantown
nine on the letter's diamond. Then
will follow a game with. the Fairmont
team on the local field on April
29.
The Clarksburg team will visit
Fairmont on.May 6 and battle with
Its old rivals on the morning of that
day. This game will be a part of
the big Held meet scheduled to be
held In Fairmont on that day.
Coach Arnett Is confident that the
Washington Irving team will be welt
up among the leaders at'the close of
