An unusually hare hitting contest was
played between the McLaughlins and
Marions, at Marion, in which the Nc
Laughlins proved regular giants at the
bat, hitting the ball thirty times safely
and making each hit count for a run,
the batting and run columns figuring
alike. The Marions played we'll. but were
surprised by the persistency, of their OPP
ponents in the use of the bat and for
feited the lead. For two innings the
Marions appeared formidable and 1t look
ed like a walkover with the score 9 to 0.
McLaughlins made four runs in the third,
but the lead failed to diminish, as the
Marions made four in fourth and fifth.
The sixth gave the Macs an opening and
during the remainder of the game they
pounded the ball all over the field, nd
Ing the ninth inning with IL runs. The
Marions became demoralized and were
relieved when the last put cut had been
made. The scores were

Yachtsmen are talking over a yacht
race that was sailed Sunday on the New
York Bay for a wager Of $3.50 between the
sixteen ~footers, the Maggie p. of the
Mariners Harbor Club. and the Just
Right of Bayonhe. The latter was handled
by Daniel Bedell, of Elizabeth, with a
crew of five men, while the Maggie P.
was in charge of Skipper Jones. The
course was five miles. The Maggie p.
had a time allowance Of twenty seconds,
but won without it, beating her rival on
every tack and won by three minutes
and fifty seconds. The Just Right car
ried away a shroud at the start and also
came near being fouled by some gar
bage scows that were being towed down
the bay. These mishaps are attributed
to the loss of the race.

spoke to 1000 people at the post
office here, last night, and he created q
good impression. This afternoon he
organized branch Of united mine
workers. 200 strong. He speaks to-
night at Rivesville. There was a
small break IN the ranks OF strikers, this
morning. Col Fickiuger, president
of the Monongah camp, said, to-day
The break, this morning, means that the
strikers will be at work before the week
is out. Dsbs is failure in West Vir-
ginia. - He leaves for the Kanawha
district on Thursday. He has been
shadowed by two Pinkerton detectives
since coming to Fairmount. When ad-
vised here last night not to 60 to KAN
awha, that he would be shot, he said
he would go II death were certain. He
said: 81 shall never again engage in
a strike, IL this one fails. There never
before was an industrial movement like
this Ia all the states but Pennsylvania
aud West Virginia, the operators are
on the side OF the strikers. A handful
of men in West Virginia, block this
movement. Laboring men deserve the
conditions under which they are now
struggling. for not freeing themselves
when the popular sentiment was all on
their side. If this strike Is
lost, shall believe that
workingmen are no better than
beasts. bought and sold like cattle.
Their present condition is like that OF
convict, With difference, that for
the workman there Is no pardoning
power, but death to release him."
Dsbs Is discouraged, and says the
situation demands the presence OF
President Ratchford, or some other
prominent mine man on the ground.
FAIRMoNT, West Virginia, July 90
John Clark, Of the "Chiefton" and
"Prtchard" mines, said to your cor
respondent, this afternoon, that the
back bone of the strike was broken and
that the operators need fear nothing
further. He regards Debs' VISIT as
failure of the worst kind.
