See here you fellows of the league
newspapers who are giving Clarks-
burg 10 games won and IA lost in
the team standings. Clarksburg has
lost II games counting the game of
Wednesday, June 10. The Telegram
has been getting out extra baseball
editions every day with full box
scores of the games and that is the
way they count up in this office,
Some of you fellows go over your
files and count up the league games
like the Telegram does, and perhaps
you will get the standings u little
nearer correct than they are now.
Or copy them from the Telegram.

An interesting query is answered
in the Pittsburg Gazette-Times as
follows:
Y. Y. a., Fairmont, w. Va
Your query is: There are men or
second and third; the batter hits the
ball to the infield; man on third
tries to score, hut seeing he cam
make 1t starts back to third. In
the meantime. man form second has
taken third, and is standing on the
bag, while the catcher is trying tc
put former man out. Does the catch.
er have to touch this man? / con.
tend that by touching home plate the
man is forced out, and 1t is not neces.
gary to touch him." You are wrong
There was no force in this case. The
man running from second had nc
business on third and If touched
would have been out. A runner can.
not be forced from his bag by another
baserunner Had the man running
from second gone back TO second base
he would have been safe.

IS
NEGLIGENT
Provided With a Clerk But
Standings and Averages
Are Not Sent Out.

1t will surely be a relief when
Gronninger issues an official clnt
standing. Every paper in the circuit
and some of them out of 1t have a
different story to tell every day
Fairmont Times.
Here is where the Telegram feels
inclined to hand one" to the presi-
dent of the league. He has been pro-
vided with clerk by the clubs of
the league for the sole and simple
purpose of keeping track OF the aver
ages and the standings. If the
league president has not yet employ
ed that clerk it is high time for him
to do so and If he hasn't the league
members should see to 1t that he
does so, or clip off that additional
clerk hire salary. II the clerk has
been employed and is moping around
all month in getting few figures to-
gether, he ought to be fred and a
new one employed 1t should take
only few minutes for the clerk to
figure out the standings of the teams
at least. 1t takes the Telegram but
short time to go over It's files and
prove the standings 1t publishes each
day. The other league papers have
not time to do this. so 1t is up to the
president to straighten them out.

Every member of the Fairmont

credit, and Carlisle was the big hit

applause. He made running one

The Republicans are playing some
clever tricks on the people. Here's
one of them: During August the pub
fishing company of Harper 8 Bros.
New York, offered to send Harper
Illustrated Weekly to subscribers for
the balance of the year for dollar.
As the regular price Of the publication
is four dollars year, this was regard
ed as real bargain and many persons
accepted the offer. Now the cat is
out Of the bag, for it is believed that
it is a campaign trick to get Rspubli-
can literature into the hands of many
who would not otherwise be reached.
Harpers Weekly is bitterly partisan,
and with cartoons and editorials and
special articles assails Mr.. Bryan in
the same proportion that it lauds Mr..
Taft. A good many persons have
been buncoed by this little trick, which,
it must be admitted, is rather smart
one.

EVIDENTLY the respectable people
of Illinois have very poor opinion of
Speaker Cannon. On Monday the
Central Illinois Methodist Episcopal
Conference unanimously adopted the
following resolution:
"We deplore and condemn the custom
that gives Speakers of legislative bodies
the power to control legislation. The
conduct Of the Hon. J. G. Cannon, Speak
er of the House. IN refusing to allow q
vote on the Little6eld bill is worthy Of
universal condem nation, and we suggest
that such politicians who lack the ele-
ments Of craftsmanship should be re-
turned to private life. We urge upon
the people the use of all lawful means
in securing the defeat of the Hon. ]. g.
Cannon as Speaker of the House Of Rep
resentatives."
This is rather pointed indication
as to how Cannon is regarded by the
people of his own State.

The First Fair In Shepherdstown and
Other Old Days Therein.

EDITOR REeIsTER-In these days OF
self-gratulation upon the splendid sue
cess Of the "Morgan's Grove Fair, 1T is
interesting to bark back to the year
1858, one hundred and forty.two years
ago, in which year the first flair" was
established by law in S"Mecklenburg,"
now Shepherdstown, in the then coun-
ty Of Frederick. The Act Of Assembly
OF the Virginia Colony, passed 10 Nov
ember, 1866, provided for two public
fairs to be held in each year-one on
the second Wednesday in June, and one
on the second Wednesday in October,
"for two days, for sale and vending OF
all manner OF cattle, vlotuals, provis-
ions, wares and merchandise whstso-
ever"
Another provision Of that Act was {:
ION which fair days. and two days next
before and two days next after, the said
fair al persons coming to, being at or
going from the same, together with
their cattle, goods, wares and merchan-
die, shall be exempt and privileged
from all arrests, attachments and exc
cutions whatsoever, except for capital
offences or for breaches of the peace or
for any controversies, suits or Quarrels
that may arise or happen during the
said time"
Another old statute Of October, 1776,
Is interesting aud Is as follows "Hogs
not to run at large in Mecklenburg
(called Shepherdstown) in the county
Of Berkeley. Be it enacted, that IL any
swine belonging to any inhabitant Of
the said town shall be found running
or going at large within the limits there
Of, il shall and may be lawful for any
person whatever to kill and destroy any
such swine 30 running al large" But
the person so killing such swine was
forbidden to conf1scate or appropriate
it to his own use. He had to notify the
owner, If known, that he had killed it,
and if he was unknown, then it was his
duty to notify the nearest justice Of the
peace, who may order the same to be
taken for the use Of any poor person or
persons he shall think IT."
So it would seem that the question
upon which the old town has been so
often torn up upon, 'hog in or hog out, "
is very, very old one, after all. These
solemn Acts Of Assembly are found in
"Henning's Statutes at Large"
Charleston, w. Va, Sept. II, 1908.
