TOWN AND VICINITY.


The Pom league appears to have
omitted the third base team from its
reckoning for 1907. This, Cumberland
Pom off the map.
From present indications there is sure
to be something doing here i'll the
base ball business next season.
\ large gathering Of enthusiasts at
the St Cloud Hotel Friday evening of
last week meant something more than
talk Representatives from Il number of
local clubs were present, who talked the
matter over III busineSs-hke manner,
the result being the formation of a locll
league.
The following clubs were represented
by the managers, as follows:
Y. NJ. G. A................Th Thornton Cooper
Borden ............ ........ ....JOhn BartOldu
AIlegany ....... ...... Benjamin Williams
y. VI. l., of Frostburg .......J. NJ Shields
Eckhart. ..................... Bernard Byrnes
Y. VI. /, of Mt. Savage. ......P. +. Fanuon
Welsh Hin Glants....... Charles Williams
Midland ............. ......ThOmas Kinney
These clubs are all uniformed have
a good following, and can always raise
the necessary "whoreas to finance them
through the season.
In playing strength they are pretty
good. All have IL fair knowledge of the
game, as was attcSted last season in
many close, exciting games.
As yet the officers to govern this
League have not been selected, though
another meeting Will be held in the
parlors of the St Cloud Hotel Monday
evening, lOth inst, at ~ o'clock, when
the plans will be perfected and a schedule
submitted for adoption.
Outside of this movement IA number
of fans are endeavoring to put a good
tirSt-clasS independent team i'll the field
to represent the town.
An effort Will be made to lease the
New Park, put it i'll firstcIass condition,
and gather an aggregation that will he
up-to-date III every department. With
such players as the Gunuetts, SpateS,
Jacksons, Stevenson, and others. an
array of talent that is as good as the best
can be modified.
With Homecoming, Midland, Piedmont
and possibly, Cumberland, as com
pettors, besides Meyersdale, Berlin and
Somerset, just over the State line all
sure to have good teams, great interest
would be manifested and exciting. in
teresting contests would be the rule.
Ii all those who love the great Nation
al game for its good qualities, and not
for the merCenary dollars and cents it
brings, would give this movement a
boost with encouraging words, we are
sure to have some good baseball next

DECISION HITS MERGERS
INDIANA COAL INDUSTRY is
s BEING ABSORBED.
Railroad Companies, Among Them
the Rock Island, Are Getting In
... ..
Their Work. -

Tere Haute, Ind, Feb. 23.-The
decision by the United States SUI
preme Court relative to coal roads is
of direct interest in the Indiana BIZ
luminous coal industry, which in the
last year has. been passing into the
hands of railroads until more than
fifty per cent of the output is from
mines owned by railroad merger COM
panies. Still further merging in con-
temptation may be prevented by the
decision and by the proposed investi-
CATION by the Interstate Commerce
Commission:
1t has been understood that the rail-
way system which bought the John R.
Walsh Southern Indiana road and his
Southen Indiana Coal Company are
to be sold soon by the Chicago Asso-
ciated Bankers who took over his
banks and railroad securities, and
would complete the merging process
he began and toward which he had
brought seven big mines.
The Crock Island crowd' a week
ago completed deal by which they
gained control of four companies
with thirty-four mines, whose output
of 100000 tons annually is nearly
all sold in Chicago or beyond and
hauled to Chicago over the Chicago
and Eastern Illinois, a Rock Island
property. The president, chairman
of the board and other officials of
Rock Island were elected directors of
the Deering company, the parent
company of the merger.

great a variety of employment as pos-

convicted prisoners could be sent,
who now go to the county jails, ex-
cepting the sentence be an exceeding

under good discipline and proper
training and would have regular en-
ployment. The prisoners could be
more cheaply maintained in such in
situations, and, inasmuch as they
would be conducted in accordance
with the best reformatory methods,
better results would be secured.'
