u 6 Court for MartjnSburg.

For nearly fifteen years West Nir-
ginians have been urging Congress to
pass an act authorizing the establish
ment of United States district and
circuit court at Martinsburg Several
times has bill of this character
passed the House, but it has hereto
fore failed in the Senate. During the
present session Senator Faulkner in
troduced bill for this purpose, and
his efforts have been rewarded by the
passage by the Senate of the measure,
which provides that, in addition to
the terms of the Circuit and District
Courts of the United States now held
in the District of West Virginia, shall
be held in each year, one term Of each
of said courts, at Martinsburg, in said
District, on the first Tuesday in Au-
gust. The junior Senator from West
Virginia is very much encouraged at
the progress he has made in this mat
ter, and if the House takes the same
view of the case now that it has in the
past the proposed court will probably
be established at Martinsburg.

BASE HALL.

w hat Is Being Done on the Diamond.
 Gore is playing ''yaller" ball for New York
 Hatfield is playing good third base for New York, and is hitting the ball. which is more than most of that team are doing. The Omaha Daily Bee of May 31st says: "Base ball managers in want of good pitch. CT can find one at Cedar Rapids, Ia, but whether they can sign him is another thing. His name is W. F. Hutchison. He made 8 great record in the Yale nine about 1880, and last year played strong game with the Des Moines, although he had been out of training for six years. He has had offers from Chicago, Detroit and New York, but thinks the reserve rule smacks too much of slavery. He would rather play ball than eat but was persuaded by his mother, a proud spirited lady, who has come west to live with him, to give up the diamond. There are reasons to believe, however, that he will now listen to propositions. Hutch is a strong hit ter and fields his position finely. He is as difident as modest girl, is gentleman and don't drink or bum. He is in the offices of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern railway at Cedar Rapids
 Radbournl has seen his best days as a pitcher
 John Kelly is now one of the league um- pires.
 Johnny Ward needs to take brace in his fielding. He is playing about as poor ball as any shortstop on the field.
 Shock of the Washingtens has accomplish. ed the feat twice this season of hitting for home run when there were three men on bases.
 Not quite so much superstition about Jonahs, etc., and little more steady ball would materially increase the standing of several league clubs.-Beston Globe.
 By refraining from playing the Bostons get nearer the top of the league schedule. What record they might make if they were to remain idle for week!-Boston Record
 Umpire Daniels of the National league, in case of close play at the plate, calls out distinctly: "The run scores, or vice versa as the case may be. This practice is one that all umpires might follow and give better sat- isfaction to the audiences.
 Clements has caught twenty-four straight games.
 O'Rourke should be fixture in the New York outfeld. He is a better batter and better fielder than Gore. In the first three games played against Chicago Gore got but one hit, and that was in the game where the New Yorks got twenty-four hits altogether of Van Haltren.
 Williamson and Pfeffer were fined $100 apiece in Philadelphia AnsOn for being out all night
 Umpire Daniels recently rendered his re- signation to Nick Young. He said it was only question of time when some club would be making charges against him, and he preferred to manage a club, and that he had an opportunity to do 50. Mir. Young re- fused to accept the resignation and told Dan lels that he would be retained throughout the season if he kept up to his present stand ard of excellence
