An analysis of the work of the indi
vidual players reveals no weak spots in
the club, but the team, collectively, has
not been hitting the ball in that lively
manner which is necessary to win
games. Wheeling has boasted, and not
without reason, of her quartette of
twirlers, yet they have been touched
up in manner which proves that the
Iron and Oil league is particularly
strong in batters In fact the number
of base hits made by the home club on
its trip will not compare favorably with
the work of the opposing clubs. Prob
ably no minor league ever organized
possessed so many Naional League
players as the Iron and Oil. There are
at least a score of them farmed out to
the Pennsylvania towns, and therein
lies the secret of the strength of these
clubs.

1t is to be hoped that PRESIDENT
Powers may see his way clear to send
an umpire other than McNierney to Of
ficiate at the Wheeling games. The
best interests of the league demand
this. Mr.. McNierney was bounced
from the Interstate through Wheel
ing's protest, and there was an under
standing at the Franklin meeting, i'm
piled at least that he would not offici-
ate at any games in which Wheeling
played, unless the substitution of an
other umpire would occasion serious
inconvenience. Whether Mr. Powers
thinks McNierney is fair or not, should
have no weight in the matter. Wheel
ing patrons are firmly convinced that
he will not lose an opportunity to
roast the home club, and for that
reason his presence does not please
them, and has a tendency to keep them
away from the games. 1t would be
quite natural, too for McNierney to
harbor feelings of resentment and bit
terness toward the Wheeling manage
ment. He is only human.

1t was an exciting week in bowling
circles, and the contests scheduled for
the coming six days promise to main
tain the interest which has been mani
tested. The events of the week dem
onstrated the uncertainty as to results,
in contests with the lignum vitae
spheres. That the Nameless team
would win the championship in the
Musee race looked like a certainty last
Sunday, when the problem which con-
fronted the Brownies was the winning
of five games out of six. The oppo-
nents of the Brownies were the Daisies
and Bowlers. The former is conceded
to be one of the strongest clubs in the
league, and it was predicted by the
knowing ones that the last season
champions would fall down in two OF
the three games. But it is the unex-
pected which is always happening.
The Brownies managed by steady
work, with a little mixture of good
luck, to take three straights. Next
Friday night they meet the Bowlers,
and the result of the very exciting race
hinges on the outcome of the three
games. If the individual or team rec
ords count for anything. the Brownies
should take two games, in which event
they will be tied with the Nameless
club for first hOnors. If they win all,
the Nameless boys will have to be sat
isfed with second place, and the con-
soling reflection that they put up a
game fight.

The pennant race in the National
League continues TO be very close and
interesting, especially between Pitts
burg and Cleveland. Both teams go
away from home this week and it is
probable that the Spiders VIII show up
better than the Pirates. The former is
conceded TO be the best team of hitters,
although slightly Outclassed by Pitts
burg in fielding. But it is hitting
which counts and the Pirates must
show an improvement in this respect
in order TO maintain their present po-
sition in the race Pittsburg is also
sadly in need of another good pitcher,
and there is no prospect that this
weakness will be remedied before the
season closes.

He had IL. but at considerable expense. Ac-
cording to his own story. he spent part Of the

and his companions ran out. IL was broad day

Cooper added that he had brought the $lOo in
gold from Hong Kong, having received 1t from
the American Consul there just before sailing.
Cooper told the Inspector, that the number OF
the house where he was robbed was 100. but he
did not know the street or avenue. For some
reason or other he had an idea that . policeman
named Dooley was the one who took him to the
hotel where he lost his money.
There is policeman named Dooley connected

Justices Parker and Follett who have been
sitting in the General Term OF the Supreme
Court Of this department, under assignment of
the Governor from other departments. have OBJ
tained an order from Judge Freedman of the
Superior Court requiring Presiding Justice Van
Brunt of the Supreme Court and the Comp
troller to show cause why their bills for service
should not be passed under the law Of 1893.
That law gave Judges assigned to General
Term in this department compensation at the
rate Of S5, 900 year, in addition to their regu-
lar salaries in tho other departments. Justices
assigned to sit at trial terms here get $40 day
additional to their regular salaries
Justices Park or and FOllett. who appeared in
the matter by Elihu Root, wanted to remove
any question as to whether they were deprived
OF this extra compensation by the new Constitu-
tIon. Tho Judges raised the question them
selves.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Dean, who has
charge of the matter, said yesterday that he
would submit the question to Judge Freedman,
but he had no doubt but that the Judges are en-
titled to this pay, as the new Constitution in
this regard does not go into effect until next

on the ground that II interteres with the devel-
Opment OF the schools. Several OF the college
officials who have been interviewed express the
opinion that the action of the society will react
upon that organization rather than upon the

Review of Its Most Important
FentnrSS

After remaiEing in session for three
months, less one. week, the constitu-
tonal convention has ut last completed
the work of framing new constitu
ton Tor the State of South Carolina
and has adjourned sine die.
Seven members of the convention voted
against the final adoption OF the new
organic law. Mr.. Doyle voted with
the seven at first, but upon the COM
pletion of the roll had his vote changed.
1T has taken long time and no end of
deba.e to construct the new organic
law, and consequently many radi-
cal changes from the old consti-
tuition have been made, the five
most radical changes being the
regulation of the suffrage, with the
understanding" feature; the increase
IN the school tax; the imposition of
tho graduated income tax; the putting
in of the dispensary law regulations,
and the adoption of the anti-lyn nch law
section, which is the only provision
of the kind in any State constitution.
Then there is the increase. of the Su>
preme Court to four justices, and an
endless number of other important
changes.
The convention closed it's session in
an Impressive manner, singing God

by Clerk Melton, and the bcnediction

ment sine die WAS reached ut 9:57 l-2
