manager, and with two additional
PLAYERS who were no credit to the
team, would be no credit to an In
stltution at Moundsville.
During the game Monday, they
attempted to win by bluffing lobe
Hart. They didn't succeed, al
though one Cooper, who rested
securely In free bed the night
after, went so far as to brandish a
bat almost In the face of fearless
"Tobias," Their buster and
braggadocia and bulldozlng tactics
would not 60 and they lost the
! game.
Monday night, some of them
proceeded to take In the town. So
we'll did they do 1t that one of them
slept under the care of the city, and
another was compelled to seek an
other hotel.
Tuesday they were little more
calm on the ground, but that night
they attempted to run the Arlington
Hotel where they stopped: They
amused themselves with water
pitchers and soaked every thing IN
sight, and part of the lower floors
that were out of sight. And some
actions that could not be mentioned
In the Review were added to their
accomplishments. AS a result, In
the wee-sma' hours of the night,
Mr.. Dolap, the proprietor of the
Hotel, was compelled to call an
officer and have the entire outfit
elected from the hotel.
Their conduct has been shame
full from the hour they landed.
They came to run the town for a
| few days, and would have done 1t In
many towns, but not In Sistersville.
They have won bail games, but
they could not win from Sisters
Willie anywhere where their bull
doing tactics would not go.

the above remarks as far as they
pertain to any actions off the ball
grounds are not applicable to Man.

1t am satisfied that the Suzanne Ad.

tunity as this.
SfILlARD F. SNIDBR.

that ! think it will be highly credita,.
bic musical entertainment.
REV. DANIEL oC0NN0R.
Undoubtedly lovers of artistic and
,oul-stirring music have much more than
an ordinary treat in store for them in the
coming to our town of Madame Suzanne
Adams and her company Of artists. From
the high grade nature of this entertain
ment. which will appeal to the citizens
OF clarksburg, it is easy to predict an
overlooking house. The Y. NJ. @. A.
is to be congratulated on securing such
talcn for our city.
REV. S. X. ARBUTHNoT.
| expect to hear an artist next to
Patti. MRS. j. W. DODGE.
Miss Suzanne Adams has marked mu
seal ability and ! am sure she will de-
light her audience. There is a real charm
and naturalncss in her rendering which
cannot fail to win favor.
COLLIE DUNCAN.
Every person in the city who is inter
estcd in music will attend the concert
Monday night. 1t is seldom that the peo
pie Of this vicinity are favored by such
renowned artists. CORA SMITH.
| have not the least hesitation in say
ing that in my opinion the Suzanne Ad-
anus entertainment on Monday night will
be the best musical entertainment that
will be had in this city for some time.
