ACniVersity Contest.

The JOURNAL attended the Wiles
oratOrical tournament at the Univer-
sity of West Virginia, Morgantown,
Wednesday evening.
The assembly room, a quadrangular,
galleried hall, seating 1000 people,
was the arena.
Col. X. f. Fast, well known here, pre-
sided with grace and firm grip upon
the five gladiators.
Clayton Purnell, attorney, of this
place, was one of three Judges who sat
apart in the audience. At the con
cIusion each Judge, without Opportu-
nifty to compare notes with" his as
Sociates. sent his conclusions to the
platform. a committee collated
these with the result that Charles f.
Holden was awarded 500 in gold, and
A. LeR. Sawtelle $50 medal.
\ contest into which so many
elements of comparative excellence
entered was one not easy to adjudge.
But Frostburg's representative, fully
equal to the occasion, had his con
illusions corrObOrated, not only by the
Judgment of his colleagues, but the en-
thuslastic endorsement of the large
audience.
The other Judges were j. c. Work,
attorney, of UnOntown, Pa, and
Prof. a. H. Reynolds, Martins Ferry,
Ohio.
The intermissiOns were filled by mu.
steal and vocal numbers, in which
Miss Sue Gilbert, of Piedmont, w. Va,
shone replendently. Pretty, sweet
voiced and unassuming in singing
"Bobolink," for awhile ii appeared
the audience wished to keep her on
the platform all the time.
L. Getz Hill, of this place, one of
the University orchestra, is Il student
held in high esteem by his fellows.
AT Fairmont the JOURNAL saw DR..
d. p. Fitch. formerly of Frostburg,
and II. Il. Sample, formerly of Iona
coming. The doctors industry and
success as Il practitioner are visible in
his environment, and Samples ad-
vance in influential journalism is a
topic of the times in that country.
The JOURNAL returned ria Union
town and Conuellsville-an interesting
route.
1t was hard to get down to humdrum
again after being mistaken once for
scientist, and twice for a d. ID.
Real Estate Sales.
The two Davis properties on
Beall, the other on Bowery street
were sold Tuesday by Clayton Purnell,
trustee, at public auction to John S.
Lewis for 500 and $3.50, respectively.
He sold also the Bowen property to
John Richardson for 5000, and the
Thomas property to Miss Mary f.
Thomas for $3.50.
All these properties were advertised
in the JOURNAL.
This morning at 10! o'clock w. C..
DevecmOn, attorney, will sell the
Michael property on Orman Street.
Last Word.
The JOURNAL confeSSeS to consider
able shame in giving so much atten-
ton to the F6rUm, but it has got the
notion into its sinking head that it is
getting away with the great paper.
So this week it is thought advisable to
give it a brOadside that will relieve its
little brain and less conscience of the
proud flesh" that its bad blood has
lodged in its cavities. After this it
will get the smallest notice the Oc-
casion demands. At least, that is the
way the JOURNAL feels at this writing.

matthews beat George Kerwin, of Chi
cago, from the start to the finish, which
was reached in the sixteenth round when
the chicago mans seconds threw up the
sponge after their man had taken enough
punishment to make any three men stop
long before that time. Kerwin's game
ness Is unquestioned. Matthews was ten
pounds heavier than Kerwin

opponents head and body. and ripped his

back right swings which puzzled
Matthews. In the fifth round Matthews
Hoored his antagonist three times, and 1t
locked dollars to peanuts that Kerwin
would not survive another round. But
the western man came up like new In the
sixth round. Round after round they
banged away, with Matthews landing six
blows to Kerwin's one. The end came in
the sixteenth, when Kerwin was put to
the floor with a right swing. While
George was down his seconds threw up
the sponge, but Kerwiu was on his feet
and begged to be allowed to continue. He
was conveyed to his corner. and Matthews
was declared the winner. Time Of last

Members of Sons of Veterans Camp
Defend Their Publication.

Previous to the regular meeting of st.
Paul Camp No. l, Sons of Veterans, last
evening a farewell reception was rendered
Wallace easier, an active member of the
camp, who left for Philadelphia where he
will engage in business.
st Paul camp is about to issue a SOU
venir historical sketch of the three Mime
sofa regiments that participated In tho
Spanish-Amertcan war, the camp having
furnished a company of the Twelfth regi-
ment. While no articles of agreement have
as yet been signed by the officers of the
camp authorizing anyone to solicit ad-
vertisements for the book a few cards Of
ST. Paul business firms have been secur-
ed, and 1t is the intention of the camp to
use portion of the proceeds of the book
for the entertainment of the Thirteenth
regiment upon it's return to ST. Paul, sew
era1 members of the camp being soldiers
of the Thirteenth. The writer of let
ter which has been published in the local
papers, the members of the camp say,
must have jumped at conclusions and is
unnecessarily alarmed, the publishing Of
the book being, they assert. an entirely
legitimate undertaking and worthy of
support.

To make up for the Sunday game. which
was not played as scheduled owing to
police interference, Buffalo and Grand
Rapids indulged in a double-header
today and divided the honors. The first
game went against the home team. but it
required eleven innings for Grand Rap,

but errors by the local team assisted in
losing. Buffalo won the second game
hands down. Cross was no puzzle and
was freely batted at times when hits
were wanted. Grand Rapids found Gray

run. Score first game:

the best that Lally could do was a little
pop up to Carey. Then Friend deliber-
ately gave Vaughn his base on balls, evil
IDENTIFY fearing him. and preferring to
trust to Preston, who was next up, and
it turned out that he had guessed rightly,
for Preston struck out. Shugart dashed
the hopes of the fans with a hit to Smith
that forced Vaughn at second. The fans
had some little kick coming on Bren-
mans decision, for Vaughn had
good start for the bag, aud it certainly
looked as though he beat the ball out,
but Brennan decreed otherwise After
that inning Friend kept the hits well scat
tered. and the Saints had but little
chance to score.
LONGEST DRIVE YET.
But that the element of luck entered
into the game was shown again very
plaintly in the ninth, when Frank came
to bat and hit the ball an awful smash.
1t was a low line drive and found rest
ing place square in Smiths hands, who
did not even have time 20 get out of the
way Had the hit been one foot to the
right or left it would have been an utter
impossibiIity to have fielded it. And then
came Lally. and he hit the ball for the
longest drive toward the left field fence
that has been seen on the grounds this
year, but Nance was playing away out
for him and, after a long run, gathered
the ball in just at the edge of the cycle
track 1t would unquestionably have
been a home run had it been missed.
Vaughn got hit, but was thrown out
