MILLHEIM AN EABY WINNER, Centre Hall Loses Through Lack of Know. ledge of the Science of the Great American Game, The Millhelm and Centre Hall base ball teams stepped onto the dismond Saturday afternoon, on Grange Park, Centre Hall, to give Millhelm an essy victory by a score of eleven to one, and this score could easily have been increased by the visiting team had they so desired. An honest, detailed account of the game would reflect with discredit to the home team, con- sequently only the commendable deeds done on the field will be retold here. One thing, however, must be admitted, and that is that the Mill heim team knows the science of the game, whereas the home team does not, and consequently is woefully deficient when the ball goes beyond the battery. A glance at the foot note to the score will show that the home team should have played a pretiy even game, but they were not ablegto put out but one man on bases after an ad- vance to first had been made. Con- sidering the reputation of pitcher Musser, the home team made good records as to hits, Stahl baving made a fine three-bag drive at an easy gait, and Knarr a two-base hit.
