On form, Gunton should be able to
take two out OF three games from its

nobody doubts the outcome in the least.
The Gunton team has put up one of
the hardest uphill fights on record in
amateur baseball in Washington. Every
thing has apparently been against 1t
from the start AT the opening Of the
season the management decided to carry
not more than twelve men, including two
pitchers. and two catchers. Hutchinson
and 'Rube" Clark were counted upon TO
do the pitching. and Woodward and
speakman the catching. For personal
reasons, Clark left Gunton for Fourth,
and Speakman was called to PhiIadel-
phia by the death of his father, leaving
the team with exactly nine men. With
one exception. these nine men are still,
playing the positions they started in.

In the early part of the season several
of the players were injured. but stuck
to the ship. Hutchinson, the only
pitcher on the staff. was not in good

his gameness and loyalty that Gunton
owes her present position His record
is fifteen victories, four defeats. and one

BIDS ARE EXPECTED SOON.
Virginia and Southwestern May Soon Let
Construction Contract.


The Virginia and Southwestern rail-
road is expected to ask for bids in a
short time for the construction OF line
of road from Toms Creek south to its
Gate City line. This is over the route
which it has won in fight for right Of
way with the South & Western road.
The reason that the work has not al
ready begun is that there is an iniunc-
ton pending preventing the road from
proceeding until the right OF way mat
ter is settled in higher court.
1t is stated that the Virginia aud
Southwestern road is going right ahead
making preparations to build this line
of road, which is a very important one.
The indications seem to be that the
Virginia & Southwestern road has the
key to the situation in the southwest
Virginia coal fields. While the South.
ern Railway aud the Seaboard Airline
were fighting over the South & West
ern road, the Virginia & Southwestern,
or Henry X. McHarg, has run away

between the Southern Railway and the

Misquotations.

During his remarks in the Swayne |
case Congressman Clayton, of Alabama |
used the quotation, 'The tree is known
by his fruit" Whereupon there was
laughter among certain Republicans,
who thought Mr.. Clayton guilty of
misquoting. Bnt he quoted correctly.
The Bible says: "Either make the tree
good, and his fruit good; or else make
the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt;
for the tree is known by his fruit.
The Bible is often misquoted. SO is
Shakespeare. 1t would require col
umns to name the Interpretations Of
Shakespeare. A few examples may be
cited. Comparisons are odious" is
misquotation. Shakespeare wrote,
Comparisons are odorous." Another
misquotation is, zone foot on sea and

"One foot in sea, and one on land. OF

"And then he babbled of green fields. J"
The correct quotation is, ga babbled

man with strange bedfellows" is often
quoted as Misery makes strange bed
fellows. Another misquotation is"Man

Shakespeare wrote dressed" and not
"clothed. We often see this:
Nothing extenuate,

Shakespeare wrote it this way;
Nothing extenuate,
