TWO CENTS
LOST AGAIN.
Varsity Fails to Connect with
Navy Cadets.

Laconic Message Sent by Cole About
the Game Nothing but the Score is
Given Some Boquets thrown the
Players by Baltimore Paper Fun
ny Occurrence here Saturday.
The Varsity got licked on Satur-
day by the Navy. The score was
nine to two. That was all the in
formation that Cole sent in his
telegram of that date. The results
was not unexpected as far as losing
the game is concerned but it was
rather surprising that the score was
so large.
Speaking OF the game of Friday
the Baltimore News has the follow
ing:
"The fair sized crowd which Jour
neyed out to the Maryland Oval
yesterday afternoon was treated to
one of the fastest and most interest
ing games of baseball played at the
Oval this season. The Maryland
Athletic CLUB team lined up against
the strong University Of West Vir-
ginia team and won the game, to
6. Errors were few ON both sides,
and many brilliant plays were made
by the players of both teams, nota
bly, one handed stop back of sec
ond base by Purinton, who covered
the second bag for the visitors, alter
Shortstop kennoy had missed the
ball. The playing of Groninger at
third base for the visitors was also
feature of the game.
The game was nip and-tuck
affair up to the ninth inning, and
not until the last man was out was
the game clinched by M. A. G.
Smith, who twirled for the Univer-
slty team, experienced difficulty in
locating the plate, giving eight
bases on balls"
The boys do not have q game to
day. They are in New York and
will play Manhattan tomorrow.
Yale will be met the next day. They
will come home to play Grove City
here on Saturday.
A game was advertised for this
place on Saturday but those who
paid were almost the victims of
hold up. Bowman did not pitch
because of the kicking of the yisi-
tors and Bull Smith could not be
here.
Fairmont was never in the game
and was defeated by disgracetnlly
big score. There was fairly good
crowd up to see the game. The
score was Is TO A.

As something unique Ia modern lit
erature, the .Book of the Royal Blue"
for the month Of May will be on ad-
vanced lines.
The attempt to issue publication
which would include the well-known
Newspaper Satirists and "Funny-men"
of the United States. has never be-
fore been made, as the proposition is a
big one. Nevertheless, they have
been rounded up in this number, and
each man will appear in his charac-
teristic style, with photograph and
autograph.
The matter gathered together Ia this
manner is by far the best collection of
newspaper wit and humor ever pub
lished. Newspapers will recognize its
value at once, and every Literateur
will desire a copy, to become acquaint-
ed with the men who are the best Iep-
resentatiyes OF American humorous
literature.
The "Book OF the Royal Blue, "
which has been published monthly by
the Passenger Department of the Bal
tsmore & Ohio Railroad for the past
seven years, has presented valuable
reading from time to time, and this
special number will class it among the

vailed possibilities in the way of raw
material and chances to start fac
tories.
The town which stands at the TOP
OF the railroad line is to share In the
development which is taking lace
all along the valley.
Senator Elkins is getting busy out
there He is to put in several hun
dred coke ovens near town and has
given orders for the erection of forty
houses in that place.
The houses be is to build and the
men he will employ will make things
good in the town. Then too, the
town is to be the distributing point
for that country off the railroad fol
miles and miles. This makes things
good in it.
Morgantown for years was the
terminus of railroad and also OF
slack water. Each OF these facts
had great deal to do with her
progress and prosperity. Mason
town will prosper in a corresponding
degree.
Much coal has been bought in

Facilities for Work.

There is rejoicing in the School Of
Music over the decision recently
made to give the entire upper floor
of Woodburn Hall to that depart.
ment. The accommodations at pres
ent in the north wing of the hall are
entirely inadequate for the demands
of the department and the Increase
of scholars has been SO rapid this
past year that it would be impossi-
bic to find places for all the teachers
and students another year, with the
still further increase that is natural
ly to be expected.
A doorway will be CIT from the
north wing into the main building
and the carpenters commenced to
put in the partitions today. The
present large room, which is the old
Commencement Hall, now occupied
by the commercial department will be
divided into three parts, two rooms
and recital hall, which will &C
commodate about $50 people. This
is much needed necessity, for pupils
and faculty recitals, all of which
until now, had been held in Com
mencement Hall, which is too large
for ordinary circumstances.
Dean Wrightson hopes to raise
$1,000 for small pipe organ for this
hall, which will be needed for les
sons and practice. Here is a good
chance for some generous citizen to
do something that will be a benefit
to the School of Music and which
will be appreciated by many who
need these advantages for proper
study.
Dean Wrightson's studio aud
office will be moved to the main
building at the head of the main
staircase and there will be general
moving when the improvements are
completed, which it is hoped will be
before the summer term.
This is only stepping stone to
the eventual end in view for this
important department Of the leading
educational institution of the state,
viz, separate building, a temple of
music second to none in the country.
1t is interesting to know that these
temporary changes and improve
ments are paid for out of the School
of Music fund, the department hav-
Ing more than paid expenses this
past year, with faculty double IN
number in any previous year to be
paid salaries.

The intention of the new company
is to build new theatre, at Morgan
town. This will not be done this
year, but preparations will be made
and plans prepared for the erection of
a fine new building next year.
The charter for the company gives
it the privilege OF buying real estate,
erecting theatre and business build
ings, leasing and managing theatres
or play houses in Morgantown aud
elsewhere. 1t is very liberal in the
scope of activity allowed.
The company is negotiating for the
lease and management OF opera houses
outside this city, but nothing is ma

time.
The demand for better play house
in Morgant0wn is urgent, and the en-
terprise Of any company that will as

will receive great encouragement. The
present house, while accommodating
the crowds that attend on ordinary
occasions, is found too small on extra.

tainty OF the town out-growing this
building, it is extremely unsafe in
case of fire, on account of the narrow
and crooked passages to the entrance.
A move to build safer and more
