They went to that city to play the game

burg boys to come home with the ban
ner of victory. The decisions. the home
boys claim, were bad from the start, in
fact, rotten, as they term it. At the
end of the third inning the score stood
a to s in favor of Clar<sburg, notwith-
standing the decisions of the umpire in
Grafton's favor. The Clarlzsburg boys
concluded that they did not intend to
stand for any more bad decisions, and
Robinson, the third baseman, undertook
to argue the question with the umpire.
At that juncture policeman officiously
interfered and arrested Robinson. He
started to the city prison with him, but
en- route they ran mp against a drunken.
fellow, and while the cop was giving his
attention to him the baseball player es-
capped He lost no time in getting out of
town. The incident broke up the game.
The boys came home on the evening
train very indignant over the ungcntle-
manly manner in which they were
treated.

Il especially bitter toward Rev. w. Nj.
Blair and his actions in public and pri-
ynte matters as he terms it. 1t appears
that some years ago he charged Blair
with telling a lie and he still claims that
he told it. The incident caused them to
fall out and they have not since spoken.
A few days ago the porter at the Smithy
barber shop quit. A small colored boy
came along and ws,s given the job. Some
of the prominent citizens of the town
were at the shop one day and they con
cluded to have little sport with the
lad. So they put standing collar and
necktie on him. He rather liked it, but
it enraged one of the female members
of the minister's household, and she rush.
ed to the shop, tore the collar and neck
tic Off with a vengeance and denounced
the crowd as being no gentlemen. Mr.,
Randolph then took the boy to cloth
ing store. bought him new clothes and
rigged him up in style. Whether the in
cidcnt is the forerunner Of another bit
ter warfare in that town remains to be
seen, but. when the women begin to take
such a vigorous hand in affairs it may
be depended upon that there will be
