GALA Democratic mass meeting was
held at Nottoway Courthouse to-day and
elected eleven delegates 10 the senatorial
and seven TO the House conventions here
Wednesday, August 9th. and instructed
them not 20 vote for any candidate who
VIII not pledge himself to vote for Mar

This Ohe Twenty eightm senatorial dis
trict is composed of NOttOway. Lunenburg

The sentiment I'm Nottoway as expressed
by the mass-meeting rs strongly in favor
of Hon. Thomas : Martin. nearly all the
leading politicians being strong advocates
OF his reelection. Among those who are
not regarded as politicians there is some
sentiment for Governor Tyler, but this
is not organized and but little interest has
been manifested for him.
Much interest is felt IN the senatorial
convention, for the reason that the MONT

Pippins Bishop had a whole lot 10 do
with the game yesterday afternoon. and
his performance surprised his most ardent
admirers.
sometimes Pippins plays good ball. and
this was one Of the times. lie not only
pitched wei. but he .hclded well. and
actually made two safe hits. This just
goes 10 prove the uncertainty Of baseball
for when Pippins goes in TO pitch nobody
expects him TO hit anything, save per-
haps a batter once in awhile.
Not only did he pitch and hit well, how
ever but he felded cxcolently. and had
four assists and two put-outs 10 his
credit.
Iqppins IS improving. and 1t Is hoped
he viii continue TO do so.
The game was sort Of catch-as-catch-
can afiair, and was one OF the snapplest
Of the seaosn. Indeed. so snappy was 1t
that IN the third inning Catcher SNYDER
was put out Of the game and grounds
simply because he "sassed' Umpire Null
lane And there was no telling which
team would win. for the score kept going
along in now you see 10 and now Won
don't" sort OF affair and 10 was not until
Murphy was thrown out al the plate TN
the ninth inning that II was sure thlns
for Richmond.
Tony Mullane may have been good
pitcher years ago. but he viii never be
a satisfactory umpire. His work pleases
no one lie has the players Of both teams
kicking all the time. and he IS guyed by
the roOters. lie is honest. but he does
not conduct the game with that smooth
ness and that positive manner that is
necessary for success His decisions are
easily directed by a hint from ii piaHer.
For instance. I'm the game yesterday Do
Ian was called out Tor cutting third base
in running in when Pfanmiller was caught
at FIRST. II was a physical imDossibility
for Mullane to have seen the cut by Do
Ian. but suggestion was given him, and
he called him out. Dolan did cut the base
all right. but Mullane did not see him.
and he has no right 10 render decisions
upon plays that he does not see. This
IL only given as sample nj how Mullane
Is guided IN his conduct OF a game. Do
Ian should not have cut tho base.
The game was a most enjoyable one
for the cranks. and a number Of good
plays were INDUCED I'm by both teams.
