SHINNSTON
SHUTS OUT
wills SONBURG
Latter Badly Beaten from Start to Fin
ish Score Being 1s to o.-Ended IN
General Misunderstanding.

The game between Wilsonburg and
Shinnston on the local diamond Tues
day afternoon resulted in a complete
shut-out for w'ilsonbnrg, The team has
reputation for playing good ball ON
it's own grounds, but falls down away
from home, In the game here the Viii
sonburg boys seemed to be ratified from
the first, but they would probably have
done no better, If they had left those
jugs of mineral water at home
The game was called promptly at $3.50
o'clock, but it dragged along until $3.50
and began to lack interest before the
first half of all the innings were played.
The attendance was fairly good, but
Shinnston seemed to have the crowd from
the first, opssibIy ON account of the
strength they showed over Wilsonburg
from the start
Wilsonburg, though badly beaten, did
some very clever work In one inning
double play was made by them and
two of the Shinnston fellows were put
out At another time one of the Wilson
burg team made a fine single-hand fly
catch, which elected much applause. The
team, as n whole, however, was slow at
the bat and deficient in the field. They
made only one hit, while Shinnston made
twelve.
The Shinnston team was not confined
to home people, but included men from
Mnnnington, Cameron and Clarksburg.
besides the boys of the regular Shinns
ton team. The Wilsonburg team was
made up exclusively of Wilsonburg boys.
The lineup of the victorious team was
as follows:
Cannon, pitcher; Morgan, catcher; b.
Conoway, first base; b. Smith, second
base; Saucnet, third base; Lindsay, short
stop; Fred Randall, right field; L. Ran
dali, center field; j. Hartley. left field.
For Wilsonbnrg the players were as
follows:
catcher; McAtee, first base; B. Maxwell,
second base; Fowler, third base; Kile.
short stop; Williams, right field; G.
Maxwell, center field, and Eddy, left
field.
The score was as follows by innings:
Shinnston .3 ) l O2 o l O-I3
Wilsonburg ....O o o 90 5000 o o
The last half of the ninth inning with
Nilsonburg at the bat, was rather lively,
and the real excitement of the day was
furnished. The umpire called man safe
on second on three-base run on what
the SIrinnston team contended was Il foul
ball Shinnston wanted to quit right
there and then, unless the decision was
changed. While the wr4lngle was on with
the pitcher and catcher both in the mid
die of the diamond with the umpire, the
latter called ball and the Wilsonburg
man on third base made home safe. The
umpire acknowledged that he called ball,
but he stated that he called time inn
mcdiately afterward. The Wilsonburg
boys laid down, because he asked that
their man go back to third base. The
game ended there, an dthe score was
gg.en to Shinnston just as made by that
team.

Chances Against General Advance.

New York, July 20.-Chances are
against IA general advance in the mar
ket beyond the high figures of yester-
day, so far as the days operations are
concerned. We look for an irregular mar
ket, with probably some further liquida-
tion of loans. According to precedent,
the reaction of yesterday was natural
and it should go further. There are
bull points on Southern Pacific. Buy
Baltimore & Ohio, Missouri Pacific or
Gnoin Pacific. But we would not buy
them except when weak. The market
structure has been weakened by the re-
duction of the short interests.

Galveston. Tex. oct. 2o-For the last four
DAYS the recently organized Grain Handlers
Union at this port has been on strike, the
main point at issue being the recognition of
the union AS a result, only about half the
regular quota of ships has been loaded, and
these by non-union labor. The union has asked
the aid Of the Federation of Labor. and to-day
the longshoremen informed the ship agents that
they would not have anything 10 do with ships
loaded by non-union labor AS the longshore-
men are essential. the outlook for tomorrow
is regarded with many misgvngs. II is
thought that all the organized labor the

before the trouble is settled.
To add to the complications. grain is com
ing in at the rate of twenty train loads a day.
which renders car blockade imminent Con-
siderable grain is now being diverted to other
ports, however, 10 relieve the situation and the
