Maley is Oh Eat Liverpool pitcher

| By trade a mouidmaker in one of
the local po.tssies. When the Uni
versity team began to orgsrize this
spring, riends informed them of
Maley's availability, and a contract
was entered into. says the Crisis.
Now the rules Of the University
require that all members OF the ball
team shall be regular students or
candidates for degree So
when Maley reported there was
bordering as to what department he
should enter. He was kept far away
from the prying of the professors for
whole week. In the meantime it
was learned that not having di-
ploma from an accredited high
school, he would have to undergo an
examination. Malcy had paid more
attention to ipshoots than to ge-
ometry and was unable to dc so.
Happily, student bethought him
OF TREND named Cunningham, Of
Berkeley Springs, who had graduated
with honors from the local high
school, and so request for Gun
ningham's grades was submitted.
These came and were sufficient to
admit Maley to the agricultural de-
partment, where he was entered
under the name OF Cunningham.
Then for a week the student body
practiced calling Maley by the uamc
of Cunningham in order to accustom
him to his new cognomen.
Malcy was duly e tered and has
been the mainstav in the pitching
department of the University. Mean

Accused Men Bound Over to Answer
~ Before the United States
Grand jury.

Baltimore, June 1.-THE prelimi-
nary hearing of C. Ellsworth Upton
and Thomas w. McGegor, charged
with completely in the postoffice de-
partment frauds, took place before
United States Commissioner Rogers.
The specific charge against Upton and
McGregor was that they had conspired
with G. E. Smith, a trunk merchant
of this city, to furnish mail pouches
to the government at an exhorbitant
figure
In the testimony Smith was used as
witness for the government. He tes-
titled that he bought the pouches in
10000 lots from a firm in Massachu-
sets, paying 80 and 35 cents per
pouch. On the advice of Upton he
put in bid at 30 cents, which was
accepted. When he got the money he
gave 40 per cent to Upton and Nc
Gregor and kept the balance of the
profits for himself. He said he sent
the bids to Supt. A. w. Machen, at
Washington. Commissioner Rogers
bound over the accused men to an
swer before the United States grand
jury, which meets Saturday.

ect.
Some sales have been made in that
section. They have been reported

transferred.
When Mr.. Grant was asked about

Mr.. Sturgiss was asked about it
later and he stated that in a few
