Duke Dent pitched game for Oak
Forest, Pa, against Rogerville, Pa, re-
sulting in victory for Oak Forest.
Some one in reporting the ball game
played here recently cast some refiec-
tons upon our boys. First by stating
that Seneca had not her best players,
and secondly by saying Granville and
Jimtown both played seneca. Seneca
had her best players, their third base
man, Mr.. McAfee from the University
is considered first class player.
Granville had but two players outside
OF the village one from Jimtown and
one from town, the latteer was one OF
Granville's worst players. The game
was very fair one and the chief cause
of Seneca's defeat was their inability to
hit Dents curves; he having struck out
thirteen of their men right in succession
one after the other. Seneca came to
Granville after defeating Fairmont,
stating they intended to shut Granville
out, and failing to do SO they became
very much chagrined.
Seneca had one hit off Dent till the
middle inning, when they got three
more, which l believe is all they made

Field Marshal Halstead has been
getting himself into trouble out in
Ohio by 1enouncing some members of
one of his audiences as traitors be-
cause they disagreed with him on the
Philippine question. In discussing
this burning subject it is just as well
to dispense with epithets. They only
denote a paucity of intellectual re-

them.

Cleveland, Aug. so.-Rioting and dis
