Almost one thousand people gather

ternoon to witness. the second con.
test between Boone and Oskaloosa.
The Quakers had the game in the
third with runs by Bridges, who
earned it on a single and made home
on Bradshaw's three-bag hit. Kensel
went to first on first baseman's err
ror and then came a bunch of errors
by Boone's players and both Brad.
shaw and Kensel scored. The game
was lost seemingly in the fifth inning
when with two men out bunch of
hits and careless playing by the
Quakers permitted the visitors to get
in four runs, all of them earned and
made possible by Penningotn's three
base hit and Donovan's single. But
the Quakers worked nicely. Zalusky
got bunch in the eighth that some
thing was going to happen. He got
hit and was sacrificed to second
and third by Hobbs and Zarbaugn.
He was right in his bunch, for Catch
er Archer let one pass and Joe came
home. The score was tied on Boone's
error. In the ninth Boone was re.
tired in hurry. Bridges fooled two
OF them and Kensel was too fast for
Johns hot one and assisted him out
to first in a jiffy. Then the home
boys treated the crowd to a winning
run. Kensel got a hit and Donahue

his chances doubly good. 1t Is going to-

In 1901 Mr.. wysor was elected d mem
Der OF the Constitutional Convention o.
1902. In this distinguished body lie was
shonored by being made q member OF the
Committee on Elective franchise, a mem
Der OF the Committee on Corporations,
and a member OF the Committee on Final
Revision. IN this great convention Mr..
1yysor conducted himself In a way TO
win the admiration Of his associates, and
the power Of argument and the eloduence
with which he expressed himself on great
questions that came before that con-
yentiori won for him an enviable reputa-
ton His frequent debates on the floor
OF the convention--arnong them the Joint
debate between himself and ex-G Governor
william e. Cameron on tho question OF
taking the oath and submitting the
Constitution--were among the notable fca-
lures OF the convention. His debate With
Ex-Governor Cameron was perhaps the
most noted feature of the convention
from the standpoint OF oratory and argu-
ment. That Mr.. Wysor deported himself
'nobIy on this occasion, winning laurels
that can never fade. Is we'll remembered
fov the delegates and spectators who were
present during the debate. Mr.. VISOR
was schooled for Just such a distinguished
effort as he then made. by reason OF hls
familiarity with constitutional law and
by reason OF his special forensic ability,
which had previously been repeatedly
demonstrated In noted criminal cases in
Southwest Virginia, His prosecution OF
the late Dr.. J. A. P. n Baker, who was
on trial ut Abingdon In the summer Of
1891. on the charge Of having murdered
his wife, was perhaps the most nbted
and dramatic effort at oratory and argi-
iment that was ever heard in court in
Southwest Virginia. Mr.. Wysor's speech
alone would have been sufficient 70 Sc
cure the conviction Of the defendant.
After that great effort OF Mr.. Wysor. the
fury, which was composed of old friends
and neighbors OF the defendant. entered
The court room In tears to announce that
they were compelled to find the defendant
guilty. Thus was secured a conyi ction
which was afterwards reversed, upon O.
second trial being granted BY the Cir II
cult Court. IL.
SINCE his nomination for Congress Mr..
4Wysdr has made speeches at the follow
