The select crowd of faithful fans
who journey to Moore Field last
Friday afternoon saw u simon-purt
article of baseball by. two excellent
teams, aud the one touch needed u
complete their pleasure-a home
victory perched upon the loca
banner after nine as hard fought
innings as ever seen.
Robey. who was pitted against
Rienhart pitched brilliantly and
fielded his position like a profes'
sional. He was superbly supported
by William Hunter, and the entire
team. The catching Of Hunter was

vile scores crossed the plate
Reinhart was brilliantly supported,
and pitched "heady" ball. being
especially effective with men on
bases.
For the locals the fielding OF
Brown at first. George Hunter in
left and Malcolm Foley in right,
was of the best, both Foley and
Hunter taking in hard-hit flies after
fast foot-work.
Theentire team worked as smooth
as an oiled machine, and when one
man failed to STAR in the field
he made UP for it at bat.
The Smallwood boys were there,
as usual. Sylvester getting three
hits and making a nice put-out
while Albert hammered out two.

tired G. Tribbett at the home plate
in the first inning.
For the visitors the star work
was done by G. Triplett, Reinhart
and Kerns. the two latter making
up fine battery team.
Robey established record fol
the local team by having III strike
outs, 1 put-out and assists, 9 thus

corded.
While the scorer was generous in
giving the locals 13 hits, they were
so we'll scattered by Reinhart's
excellent work that they went
for naught until a combination OF
hits after two men were out and an
opportunity had been given for
retiring the side in the seventh
inning netted three runs and
victory. Before his good work
they could do nothing in the
eithth.

Local Option Election Ordered.

Acting upon n petition signed by
81 qualified voters of Battletown
MagisterialDistrict, Judge Thomas
W. Harrison last Saturday ordered
a local option election To be held i'm
this District on Tuesday. Septem-
Der Ia, 1907.
The election law requires that a
petition for a local option election
must be signed by at least one
fourth as many qualified voters as
the number shown TO have cast
ballots at the last preceding general
election.
The last preceding general cleo
tion was held in 1906, ut which
time only 81 votes we're cast i'm
Battletown district.
In the election of 1904 the vote
stood, Wet, ia; Dry, 90; a total
of 1S3 ballots being cast.
The law also requires that two
years shall have elapsed since the
last preceding local option election.
and the last local option election
was held on December l3, 1904.
1t will thus be seen that the
dry" advocates have co,npI, d
with every provision of the law.
As far as can he lcarnd from he
poll lists of the District, and count
ing ali those Confederate veterans
who are entitled to vote without
prepayment of the Poll Tax. there
will bc about 800 votes cast in this
District at the coming local option
election, and, from every indica-
tlon, 1t is an even money" bet as
To who will be victorious.
The "drys" claim to have been
heavily reinforced by voters
who have heretofore voted the
wet" ticket. but have become
dissatisfied with the conduct of the
saloons in Berryvilie, alleging that
intoxicants are secured on Sunday
by minors, and at illegal hours
during the week.
The "wetS,' on the other hand
claim that. they will again be re-
turned the victors by safe ma
jority.
The COURIER is inclined To the
belief that the fight will be very
close.
If the "wets" win, then the
"drys" will simply have been out
voted, the majority being satisfied
to let the present system alone.
1T the "drys" win, then the
saloon men will have no one to
blame but themselves, as many
radical Improvements in the con
duct of the business of some of
them could be made with ease and
profit. We suggested that al
screens and-frosted windows be
removed during hours when the
saloon is supposed to be legally
closed. Such an ordinance was pass
ed by the Town Council, but was
only in force a short time until il
was rescinded. We have suggest
ed that a standing reward of 500
be offered by the saloon men for
evidence leading to the conviction
of any person selling liquor on
Sunday, out of legal hours, or to
minors. But nothing has come OF
it.
In the election of 1904 the
COURIER took an active part. as
our readers will recall. In the
present fight, the COURIER v i'll
print no arguments either for OF
against local option unless paid for
as regular advertising.
