that they had large crowd OF

had a friendly umpire, and with all
these favorable conditions, they
succeeded after the hardest kind OF
work In winning hy the smallest
margin of but one run the score
being o to 8. We know also, that

know further that we can bea; the

caused the rattle In these innings.
With the exception Of these innings
the Pennsylvania boys could not
reach the home plate, while Outcalt

after score until the fifth inning
when they secured lead of one
run, another In the sixth and one
more before the game ended, show
Ing that they played for their runs,
while some accident evidently
furnished the opportunity to cross
the plate for the other side.

That long list OF victories looked
good. But everybody knew that 1t
could not last all season, that
sooner or later there would be a
mark on the other side. The events
at the Association park, however
almost assured the local people
that the club that administered
that defeat would have to come
from outside the State. Every
thing we had seen that bore the
stamp of West Virginia had been
so easy that there seemed nothing
to 1t except a triumphal march
across the Commonwealth. But
while the rooters thought that, they
did not become so vain as to i'm
agine that we could always win
against all of the crack teams Of the
country, especially on strange
grounds, with unfavorable condi'
tions.

TOO MUCH RAIN

is the question uppermost In meu's
thoughts as they contemplate the
size of the harvest this year.
However, while the east suffers
from extreme conditions, threaten
Ing the crops, the west more than
makes good any possible shortage.
Kansas, Iowa, Illinois. Nebraska,
and all the great food producers of
the middle of the continent, have
superabundant yields and the only
anxiety with them Is how to Sc
cure hands to gather 1t. This, of
course, does not relieve the distress
of the eastern agriculturist over the
