Football Versus Base ball

1t is quite conclusive that boy
never gets to be too big or too old,
NOT to be pleased with ball.
= Although the baseball craze,
which at one time threatened to
supersede even the business interests
iof the country in Importance, seems
to be on the wane, yet another ball
game-foot- ball-steps in easily as
its natural successor, and promises
to out Herod, Herod himself.
The gate receipts at the game be-
tween Yale and Princeton, the other
day, are reported to have exceeded
fifty thouand dollars. That beats
any cilcus which ever exhibited, not
excepting Barnum's greatest show
ON earth. The tickets sold at $40.
and choice seats at SIS. and upward.
OF course any thing that can draw
like that and make money like that
is bound to go into the hands of
spectators very soon, and become a
mere money making expedient.
That is what is killing base ball.
1t got to be business. Men went
into it for a livelihood rather than
fun or recreation. The public ceased
to be amused when the controlling
feature was business instead of
amusement, and base ball which at
its best was very hard kind of
amusement, began to be rated below
par.
Football will now have its day.
1t is as rough game as baseball
There is as much danger in being
hurt. There is as much or more fun
to the spectators. 1t is the hardest
kind of work. A man of delicate
physique had better not monkey
with it. But there are features
about it which amuse the spectator
and fascinnate the participants.
The game that was played here
last Saturday was played in the
mud. The participants waded in
mud, and wallowed in mud and ate
mud, and thought it fun. One team
had travelled two hundred miles to
have the chance of such an expert
ence, and when they had it, and
had paid the bills, were doubtless
satisfied that it was fun.
Such is life. When the blood runs
warm and the animal vitality is high
there must be some means of work
ing it off.
There is philosophic suggestion
in the fact that the ball is the chos-
en- instrument for almost all our
popular games. Base ball, foot ball,
Billiards, pool, marbles &c, &c, all
have for their basis of operations
the ball. Boys and men alike seem
to be attracted by throwing, punch.
ing, shooting or kicking something

The candidacy of Col. VIM. A.
MacCorkle, of this city, for the dem
ocratic nomination for Governor at
the election of 1892, has been receiv
ed with much favor throughout the
State, and he may be set down as a
strong candidate for gubernatorial
honors next year. Col. MacCorkle
is very popular with the people of
all classes, and conspicuously so with
the rank and file who furnish the
great majority of the votes in the
elections. He is one of the very few
democrats in this State who has been
Fortunate enough not to make bitter
enemies OF to create strong antagon-
isms while at the same time brayely
lighting the party's battles, jealous
ly supporting its nominees and de-
Tending with earnestness and enthu-
siasm its principles and doctrines.
In every political contest in West
Virginia since Col MacCorkle be-
came citizen of the State he has
been found in the thickest of the fight
and has never been known to counsel
. compromise with the enemy or to
yield point that would seem to de-
tract from democratic supremacy. He

democratic cause, and he clings to
the doctrines and precepts of the

in the honest administration of ga
government of the people, by the peo-
pie and for the people" Should the
democratic convention decide to place
the name of VIM. A. MacCorkle at
the head of the State ticket he would
conduct a vigorous campaign and
would be elected. The Gazette has
no candidate of it's own. However,
as we have mentioned other gentle
men in this connection, and Col.
MacCorkle being a pronounced can
0idate, we deem it due to him, to set
his claims fairly before the public

The Result Of the w. & wv. V. U.
Football Game last Saturday.

Football Game last Saturday.
The game of foot ball between w.
d J. College and the w. Va. Univer-
sity took place on the show lot last
Saturday afternoon. The day was
cold and dreary. Rain in the morn
ing, snow and heavy blast in the
afternoon, making it very unpleasant
both for the players and spectators.
However, in spite of the bad weather,
$50 people, mostly in carriages, as.
sembled to witness Morgantown's
first game of foot ball. Though the
game was somewhat one sided yet it
was interesting throughout.
Mr.. Barnhart of Washington and
Prof Emory of the University act
ed respectively as referee and UNI
pire. The game was called at 2:45,
w. V. U. started off with a V, result
ing in the the ball belonging to the
w. V. U. and a gain of some Is or
20 feet on w. d Us territory. The
ball was next snapped off by w. V.
U. but was seized by Clark who ran
with it toward the w. V. U. goal
He, however, was downed and q
touchdown for w. d j. prevented.
This run of Clark's was fatal blow
to W. V. US chances, for during the
first half of the game she never re-
gained her former position in w. d
Us territory. The remainder of the
first half was played in their terri
tory, and resulted in score of AZ to
0 in favor of w. d j.
The second half was more holly
contested, the w. V. U. holding the
score down to 80 to 0. 1t was in
this half that Hogg distinguished
himself by making several beautiful
punt kicks. The score stood w. &
j. r. w. V. U. 0. This score is
not at all surprise when we consid
er the Fact that the visiting team
has been on the "war path" for the
past two seasons, while the Univer-
sity's team was one of two weeks
standing
Clark and Hepler made some good
runs tor W. & j., while Cory Hogg,
Bivins, Kunst and Smith did some
cook tackling for W. V. U. prevent
ing the score from being much larger
than it really was.
The kindliest feeling prevailed
throughout the game and few OBJ
jections were made. The Washing
ton boys expressed themselves as
very much pleased with their visit,
speaking very highly Of the treat
ment received at tue hands of the
W. V. U. boys; in fact affirming that
the treatment was the best they had
received anywhere this year A re-
turn game may be arranged for,
to take place at Washington before
the holidays.

1t is estimated that there will be
deficiency of $15O,00O,O0O in the
United States Treasury at the close
of the fiscal year in 1892 unless as
now the Secretary refuses to pay the
appropriations. This is the result
of the work of the Billion Dollar
Congress. And before a year re.
publican papers and stumpers will
be solemnly declaring that the Dem
ocrats did it.

New York State nearly always
elects democratic state officers but
seldom majority of members of Con

ought to correct this outrage as far
