Sistersville daily oil review. [volume] (Sistersville, W. Va.) 1902-1905, 1903-06-01

The Review has always been tor
the local team. It has rooted In
the paper and on the grounds. 1t
has believed that 1t Is good thing
for the city. 1t has stood by the
local management and done every
thing possible to aid and assist those
who have given so much of their
time to secure the sport for the city.
The Review, always anxious for
good things to come, could scarcely
visit for the opening game between
Cameron and the local club. But
when day after day passed, and the
reports from Cameron became
stronger and stronger and when
they either defeated or held down to
a close score some of the best teams
In the country, and when the local
management could hear nothing OF
Outcalt, the Review began to fear
and tremble. 1t would be an awful
thing to lose the first game and
especially to village like Cameron.
The eventful morning came.
Cameron arrived, big, husky, raw
boned, Drowned fellows, strong OF
limb, keen of eye, fleet of foot, a
hard looking proposition.
They came with confidence, even
impudence. They brought money.
They wanted to bet. They swagered
anapuffed and blowed, until they
had the local base ball community
near paralized. A few fellows would
not be bluffed, but 1t looked bad.
They went to the grounds with
the air and confidence of vlctors.
Never did the victorio Us army OF
Gear march under the triumph
ant arch as proudly as did the
Cameron sluggers march onto the
ball grounds behind Bill Dalton
and Red Young.
Opposed to them were certainly
a lot of crlpples. Collins, Outcalt
and Abrams alone remained OF the
"old guard" The rest were new
and untried. Some of them had
never seen each other. They had
never played together. Every
body knew that Cat Eye" and
Saladin would do their best, but
they had faced raging and roar
Ing furnace all morning.
It looked bad: one-sided. awful
for the first game of the season.
The crowd was immense. The
grand stand was filled. The
bleachers were crowded. The
fence was lined. Although with

Well may the survivors of that
great struggle rest In peace and
contentment In the knowledge of
duty we'll and nobly performed. and
that a nation honors the living
with the dead.
Thirty FIVE years have passed
since the Grand Army of the Re-
public inaugurated the custom
of Memorial Day for the decoration
of graves of the dead soldiers who
fought for the preservation of the
Union. The commemoratlon was
promptly accepted as a National
institution, and Memorial Day has
since then ranked with Iudepen-
dence Day as a national observance
of honor to patriotism and devotion
In the service of the country. Joined
with the beautiful ceremonies of
the day, we should aim to impress
the sacredness of the great struggle
upon the minds of the rising gener.
alton, and the doctrines which
were established by the national
triumph.

Once again has Memorial Day
come and gone. With each re-
turning year the day finds Its obli-
CATION increased, for Time, with
relentless persistency, Is thinning
the ranks of the brave heroes who
fought the battles of the civil war.
Each year fresh mounds are thrown
up In the cemeteries, and new re-
cruits answer the roll call of the
innumerable army. Memorial day
Is, therefore, becoming more sacred
and Is growing In significance with
the return of each year. -Four de-
cades have passed since the close OF
that mighty struggle of brother

ont confidence In the result of the
game, the people wanted to show
their appreciation of the association
Of Its efforts.
It was an enthusiastic audience,
and when the chance came, they
rooted as of old. Seeming defeat
turned into victory sent the crowd
Wild, and they might have been
heard to Woods6eld.
The visitors tried to bluff when
they saw the crowd, and get some
more money. The bluff went to
the extent of a few dollars. The
people In the grand stand did not
want 1t to 60, neither did they
want their money back, but the
management wanted to give them
something for the money and 1t
was a wise conclusion, but 1t show.
ed Cameron up In poor style.
The game was all one way. We
were cit" right from the start.
The visitors were outplayed at
every point,-by IL to g on base
hits, 2 to d on errors and II to 9 on
strike-outs did the fung-together
club out.play the visitors. The
game was won In the first inning,
and then there was nothing to do
but howl delightedly as long as the
voice held out.
Collins, the same old Collins, was
at his best. He never endangered
the game for a minute.
Sweeney the new one, became
the favorite right off the reel. He
has everybody on his staff. and will,
keep them so all summer. The
management made hit when they
got Pat. He is not only a ball
player. but a perfect gentleman as
well.
Bevans, who arrived Saturday
morning, made good impression.
He promises we'll when accustomed
to the grounds and club.
Shaw and Fleming were good
and Abrams and Outcalt played
their old game Salsdin and Cat Eye
were old favorites, and 1t IS hoped
that they can remain with the team
throughout the season. They both
played ball all the time.
1t was a great opening of what
promises to be a great season, and
the best part of 1t Is we won by a
score of 9 to S.
Several accidents happened to the
visitors which no one regretted
more than the local players. The
visitors as rule were perfect gen.
tlemen and would win games
against weaker teams.

country that the country might
live. But few of those who partici'
pated In the great struggle of the
sixties remain. Theie ranks are
thin and many a cane supported the

dwindling columns of veterans that
marched to the various burial
grounds on Saturday to honor the
memory of their brave comrades
gone before. Of these true and
noble old soldiers 1t can be truly
said, "well done good and faithful

LEvEE COMMISSION.
Report of Recommendations Will Not
 Be Made Public.

St. Louis, June 26-After hearing all of the arguments presented by representa- tlves Of the various levee boards the Mississippi River Commission today set tied down to active work for the consid- eration of the mass of matter which has been offered and to formulate the report which will be submitted to the Secretary of War
 No announcement will be made hy the Commission in advance of the official re- port Strong efforts have been made to prevail on the members of the Commits sion to authorize improvements SarI to make allotments on the supposition that congress would stand by it's act in appro- prlaung money in advance
 Farmers and business men from the lower river districts have shown to the Commission that it would be unwise to hold back the levee work to ait on ap- preparations for the reason that the ives and property of all those residing in the valley would be imperiled by delay and 1t was believed that the report of the Commission would recommend nearly all that had been asked for and possible to grant.
 A serious question arises in the letting Of contracts in advance of the time for which appropriations are available, but 1t mas been shown to the Commission by many able attorneys that the step would be legal.
