MISBUin
IN OPENING OHIUIE
Wertz Pitches No-hit Game Against
North York; Fast Fielding
by Locals
History repeats itself. Harrisburg
trimmed York in the opening game
of the season, score 5 to 1. It was
not a' league game and North York
furnished the attraction. It was a
York team, and Harrisburg baseball
fans always find much satisfaction
when York can be beaten.
The contest Saturday was the first
regular battle for the local indepen
dent team. "Shorty" Miller and his
aggregation put up an interesting ex
hibition. The crowd was not large.
«s the fans in this city have not
awakened to the fact that this is to
be the representative team at Island
Pajk this summer. It was also rather
breezy for a baseball game.
Don Werti Star Pitcher
Doh "Wertz, the pitcher, was the
•tar. He let York down with no hits.
The only run scored by the visitors
was through an error by Miller in cen
terfield, a sacrifice hit and an out at
first. Harrisburg was without the ser
vices of "Pete" Stewart, who is out of
N?e game with an injured wrist. Beach
took his place and took care of what
came his way.
York had a good team in the field,
hut no hitters. Purnell had speed and
curves, hut at critical times he was
given ragged support. Harrisburg
bunched the lilts in the fifth and
cinched the game. Next Saturday,
Ellzabethtown. champions of Lancas
ter county, will be the attraction. The
