CHARITY FUND
Was not Greatly Swelled By
Elks Game Yesterday.
MOrgantOwn Lodge Got Revenge and
Defeated Visitors 10-7-Game Wasn't
so Bad-0nly Seven Innings Played
Score by Innings.

hooole ~ AHHihScs
The Fairmont Elks came down on
the three O'Clock train yesterday
afternoon, we're met by the Glass
Workers Band, displayed to the
wondering populace from the open
seats a summer street car, and then
taken to the Athletic field and
beaten. There were 20 or more of
the visitors, and the beagle heye of
Old Slewth himself could not have
picked out the nine men who were
supposed to wear the base ball uni
forms. When they did get into their
togs, it was evident that beauty Of
form had not been the basis of Sc
lection. But then some of the Nor.
gantown bunch didn't look so awful
ly handsome in uniforms.
Good humor, scientific kidding,
and pretty fair ball playing for
amateurs characterized the game.
1t wasn't bad exhibition, after all,
and was greatly enjoyed by every
body, with the possible exception of
some of the players. The charity
fund was not swelled to any immense
proportions, and Manager Mills,
viii have to do some close figuring to
made things come out even.
Morgantown won tue game, of
course. In the very first inning,
Dolly Kinca1d smashed the ball for
two bases, just to start things a
going. And you ought to see Nal
lonee he hadn't had a baseball bat
in his hand for a long time, but he
swung it for q three Dagger the very
first time up. He got five hits dur
ing the game, for fatal of bases,
and that isn't any hot air, either.
The locals scored four runs in the
first inning. Fairmont scored one in
the first, and in the third, Corbia
got some Decker's creek sand in his
eyes, Lefty Gore threw the ball at
the coacher on third base, and the
Marion men chased around the bags
for two more. The final score was
10-7 in favor of Morgantown. Fair
mont made a tremendous batting
rally IN the close of the sevent b,
and scored three runs before Bowman
cut in with some real pitching stunts.
DR.. Towards work on the duffer
for the visitors was excellent. He
was very popular with the crowd and
received marked attention from Geo.
j. Humbert the champion kidder.
1t required two umpires to keep
things going right. jim Kennedy
looked after the Morgantown end OF
the empiring business, and he had
no lead pipe eineh, either.
The arguments in the sixth were
worthy of real base ball game.
The line up was as follows:
Morgantown: Kincaid, 2; Miner,

in Fresh Discovery Caused
ExeItement-AlI a Fake.

Between five and six O'Clock yester-
| day evening, the garments OF a sup
posed suicide we're found in the mid
die of Cheat river bridge. A shirt.
vest, necktie, several collars and cuffs,
and other apparel were piled in the
middle of the bridge.
On Que of the cuffs was written the

ed, and on the railing, were distinct
marks OF fngers, and foot prints, as
the man climbed to his perch for the
jump into eternity There was ne
hat, trousers, nor shoes, and there
was some conjecture as to the proba-
bility Of these evidences being false.
Why would the suicide wear part OF
his clothes and discard the rest?
Never the less, the discovery caused
considerable excitement among the
campers, along the river and the sum-
mer visitors at the hotels and club
houses. Shivers of horror at the
thought OF the respondent man, far
from home and friends, taking the
deep plunge into the dark treacherous,
waters of Cheat, the lifeless body
probably never to be recovered, chased
up and down the backs of the gay
crowds enjoying their holiday.
News of the suicide was brought to
town, and talk Of the affair was rife
on the streets. Some even went SO
far as to identify Pat McCan as man
employed at the steel mill up Deeker's
creek, some time ago.
A movement was set on foot to drag
the river, but this procedure led to
the declaration that it was a fake.
planned by some boys who are camp
ing on the river. The hoax worked
but for all that it was not very
gracious joke.
