This Experience.

The back gives out, it aches and

which was wet by the rain, aud put

HOT BALLS
Caught On The Fly About
Morgantown.

Ii. & q. station Entirely Inadequate
Roads Deserve on-Drinking
Fountains Needed Clock Don't
Show After highland other Kicks.
Thirsty travellers have registered
many kick against that sachem of
selfish corporations, the B. Il o.
Railroad Company. But kicks I'M
like Moses rod, will not cause a
fountain of water to spring forth.
Conditions at the B. 4 O. depot
are probably worse than at many
others in other parts of the state.
If not, the patrons of the great B. Il
O. are indeed greatly imposed upon.
With passenger business OF
nearly $4,000 year. and a freight
business that has congested all
known avenues of delivery to the
people, the railroad company has
been too niggardly to furnish,
adequate accommodations for pas
sengers.
The platform room is hardly adj
equate for town of 500, yet it has
to accommodate a population of TO-
500. Will the B. 4 o. officials ever
arouse to the fact that this town is
growing into good big city, and
that regulation cross roads plat
form and depot are not adequate
for the traffic?
A dry town ought at least TO
furnish visitors with an opportunity
to get plenty of good pure water TO
drink. Drinking fountains to the
number of half dozen might at
least be supplied on the public
streets so that thirsty SWANS could
appease their fiery thirst without
resorting to an underground speak,
easy. A device for passing the water
through an ice chest and cooling it
during the summer months ought
not to cost much, and would be
great luxury to the country people
who come to town to buy and sell
during the dog days.
No matter what the good roads
convention may do, it is the duty of
the city OF Morgantown to go to
work and abate the dangerous places
in all the roads leading out of the
city on this side of the river. If
they cannot be made good in winter
they can be made fairly good in
summer at very little expense. and
it Is criminal negligen to leave
them in the desperate cos iition that
has prevailed for the past two years.
Practically no work has been done
on the suburban roads since they
have been taken into the city limits
The country people far into the
mountains to the east in the county
have more civic pride in this respect
than the people of the city. When
the frosts of winter have gone, they
gather on the roads with shovel pillow
aud scraper, and mend ali the bad
places, and with a few days Of air
and sunshine, the roads become very
good drivswavs. The roads within
the city limits cannot be so easily
repaired, but they can be improved.
A perennial source of annoyance
to the fellow who wants to get of
the street in good time is that dark
and ghostly clock tower Ii the
county court lives too far distant to
take any interest in illuminating the
face of the clock at night, let the

l cupy the sixth, seventh and eighth 1 places respectively. 1t is scarcely pos sible for either of those three teams to | improve their positions. The race be- tween the four teams next to Holyoke IS close one and spurt by either | will land the second position.
 The Springfield Union, among other things, prints the. following about the Springfield team: Manager Connor did not bring his players home for over Sunday, but kept them in New Haven It looks as though Roger was ashamed to bring them here after two such bad defeats. Perhaps a little of the salt water at Savin Rock will brace them up for their games in Norwich and New London with which they open this week. The Springfield team is past saving. It is on a rapid decline and would finish in last place except for one fact, and that is, Hartford is play ing such miserable ball that it has first claim on tail-end position. Joe Con- nor, Roger Connor, O'Connor and Tan sey are the only members of the team that are hitting the ball with any regu- larity and without help they cannot win games. Roger Connor's hitting has been a feature and he is close to the 800 mark.
 Waterbury will make an effort to get back into the Connecticut league next season. Already arrangements are be- ing made, for new base ball grounds which will be the equal if not better than any in the circuit. How Water bury is going to get into that league is mystery. One of the teams will have to be dropped, but which one? Tom Reilly says he will have corking good team in Hartford next season and that means Hartford will not be drop ped Still the directors may have something to say about, the matter. Holyoke and Springfield look like fix lures as does New London and Nor wich, although the latter city has not done we'll this season. Meriden has put up such fast article of ball that she is safe. However, if it should come to pass that some one of the teams will be dropped in all probabil ity M. J. Thompson, former instructor of athletics at Georgetown will be the manager.

 There will be a meeting of the City Amateur league managers this even ing at the rooms of the St Joseph society. It is an important meeting and every manager is expected to be present.
 Holyoke had nearly 5000 paid ad- missions Saturday. That city is pan ming out much better than Hartford or Springfield ever did. It is quite a worthy addition to the State league Norwich Record
 Here is what Mccarthy of Hartford thinks of his own playing, according to the Meriden Journal: II am going home and try to earn an honest living as my base, ball playing is like steal ing money,'' said Mccarthy after yes terday's game.
 It is practically settled that Boston and Pittsburg will play the best in II games for the national championship, if they are lucky enough to win out in their respective leagues, and this would give the public good chance to see couple of great ball teams out for business.-Boston Globe.
 Jack O'Connor, the celebrated catcher, is no longer a member of the New York American league club. He and Manager Clark Griffith fell out yesterday at St Louis; in fact, they narrowly escaped having fight short ly before the game between the Great CT New Works and the Browns was started.
 It is reported that Manager Roger Connor and Joe Connor, who own the Springfield franchise are anxious to sell. The poor playing of the team this season has not made the profits as heavy as last season and there is not much chance of them being increased for the balance of the season. The franchise to-day would not be worth whole barrel of money.
 The game between Willimantic and Manchester on the formers grounds on Saturday wound up in row The score was tie, to 1, when by close decision at the plate the umpire gave a run to Willimantic.

SPORTS AND ATHLETICS s
The recent victory of Walter E. Egan at Cleveland, where he won the title of

western amateur golf champion, was gratifying to a large number of g ol f e r s because Walter has been near c h a m p ion- ships so often but failed in the final rounds. He has been the runner up twice in the western, and
 last year he reached the semi finals in the national tour-

ney at Glen View. He was the runner up in the western event in 1899, being defeated by D. R. Forgan in the final round, up and 5 to play Tn 1902 he was again runner up, and was defeated Tn the final round by his cousin Chandler by up in an extra hole match. This year Chandler again defeated him in the final round for the Exmoor cup, and at the Onwentsia open tournament he was put out in the final match by Roswell Mundy, of Riverside, for the Rayinoaks cup. He again worked his way into the final round for the western champion ship, but as he had been defeated by Chandler so many times few thought he would win, but he managed to reverse the history of last year and win in an extra hole contest
 Dr. J. Lee Richmond, of Toledo. O.. made good showing in the tournament pr. Richmond became famous in a, day some % years ago by pitching the old Chicago white stockings out without a run, hit, or reach first base'' in an ex- nlDlt1on game with the Worcester tMass.l team. Richmond was Brown university student at the time and had been called up from Providence by tele- gram to pitch the game One result of R1chmond's showing was that Worces- ter entered the National league the en- suing season, but there Richmond met with only indifferent success and soon retired from baseball. He tried it again in 1887 with one of the old American association teams, but did not achieve success. Richmond is now successful physician
