ANOTHER HOWL.

lgft fa tlO WI.
In line with other Cincinnati mlsrep-
reservations OF the Wheeling bowlers
and the audiences that witnessed the
inter-city games here is the following
from the Cincinnati Tlmes-Star:
TT would be useless 10 make q COM
plant after being defeated. yet It Is al
most certain that had the Ci%ncinnatlans
been given half q chance In Wheeling
the results would have terminated dit-
ferently. Unjust tactics were resorted
to by the West Virginia people. and had
the same been done In Cincinnati there
would never have been the necessity
OF a roll-of; instead, the visitors were
given the falrest treatment while here"
This Is so far from the truth that one
can be excused for designating the
T1mes-Star q, liar OF high degree. The
audiences at Wheeling were fair and
the visitors were in no way interfered
with. On the other hand the Cincinnati
bowlers let loose q lot OF indians, us
they called them, for the sole purpose OF
rafting the Wheeling players. Just as
one OF the boys would be In the act OF
delivering O ball, these fellows would
jump in front of the player In order to
discomfort his aim. There was nothing
Of the kind here. The Enquirer bowling
mar was kind enough to say to the
Wheeling boys that, after meeting
them, he did not believe the tale of woe
with which the Needmore players en-
deavored to explain their defeat here.
Cincinnati has had q reputation as the
home Of honesty and fairness In sport.
The Times-Star and the Needmore
bowlers have not added to this reputa-
ton. They need more" fairness II
they have the honesty.

At a special meeting OF the board Of
education and Superintendent II. G..
Williams the matter OF his selection as
superintendent OF the Marietta schools
"a brought up and Mr.. Williams In
formed the board that he could not ac-
cert the terms OF his recent reelection
here. Very general regret was express
ed as the superintendent is highly re-
garded by every member Of the board
and the major portion of the patrons Of
the schools. He has been q very ear
nest worker and his whole heart is CIV
en- to school work. The board, however,
felt that in the present condition OF af-
fairs they might not be justified In In
,creasing the expenditures and although
Mr.. Williams was the unanimous choice
to be retained, the board hesItated
about increasing the salary to $1,700 per
year. Hence the superintendent will
accept the place at Marietta He will
finish his school year here and will not
go to Marietta until July or August,
and the best wishes Of this community
will go with him.
