ing Together.

New York. July 1S.-The officials of the
National Cycling association have taken
a decided stand against ''teaming'' among
the riders and purpose breaking up the
practice. The first step along this line
was taken last night in New York. when
National Champion Frank l.. Kramer AMI
joe Fagler were summoned before the
board and notified that they would have
10 quit their teaming tactics. Kramer and
Fogler. who have been dubbed the steam
roller of the cycling game. have been in
combination since the season started
and have practically taken everything in
sight.
Kramer admitted last night that he and
Fogler had been teaming, but he asserted
that II they stopped the other riders
would frame up and work against them.
The board declared that no combinations
would be allowed of any riders. On this
assurance, Kramer and Fogler declared
they would quit teaming. and the rule
will be put into effect next Sunday at
the local tracks. This is expected to have
a good result on the sport, as il will COM
pei every man to rely on his own ability
in a race. A finish now with Fogler fight
ing Kramer to the tape will mean some
thing. and il will also give the other rid
ers a better chance. This will be espe-
cially true in the national championship,
which is expected to furnish a great bat

but was later farmed out to the Canton

his head on one side.

Catcher Meyers. whom the Giants
bought with Marquard and paid $4,000
for, is an Indian, weighs 100 pounds,
and is six feet tall. He has a great
arm, and has been batting 300 this sea-
son. He was a student at Dartmouth
college and played football there. The
Giants have broken all records in this
deal Of prices. Cleveland held the for
mer high mark. They paid $500 for
Henie Berger. and got a gold brick.
When Marquard heard that he was
sold to the Giants. he said that he
would quit the game at the end of this
year to manipulate a chicken farm at
Cleveland. II is thought the story of
the $1,000 deal has turned his head,
and he anticipates a part of the pur-
chase money and a big raise in salary
in order to get him to remain in the
game.

Next to "Rube" Marquard. Pitcher
Louis Durham OF the Indianapolis
team is now the most talked of pitch
er in the A. A. Only twice have the
Indians lost when he has been on the
mound. He cost the club nothing in
the way of purchase money. as he had
previously been Internationally re-
leased by the Louisville club and was
a free agent. His most noteworthy
feat was his double-header victory over
the Brewers at Milwaukee, but the
stunt that afforded him the most salts
faction was the shutting out of Louis
vile at Washington park. to 0. He
has won seven games.

Durham was released during the sea

SINGLE BARREL GUNS.
Many Are in Evidence in Recent
Grand American.

Chicago. July 1S.-One feature of the
recent Grand American handicap at Co.
lumbus was the number of SINGLE bar
relied guns used. Many shooters figured
that they could make better records by
using the single barrel. inasmuch as bot
one shot is permitted in the average trap
shooting tourney.
Chauncey NJ. Powers is perhaps the best
man in this city at the traps who uses
4 single barreled gun. He figured in the
Smith trophy event. which permits the
use of both barrels. al the recent Hi
nois State shoot. and well up to
tho fore Jay Graham won. however.
At the Grand American at Columbus
many shooters appeared with single guns
and with repeateTS. The Grand American
has already been won with magazine
gun. The tendency toward the single
shot gun seems to be growing.

At the Grand opera house last
night the Gutter Stock Company du-
plicated the success Of the opening
night and again appeared to a crowd
ed house. The bill was the Cow Boy
sheriff and IT went with a bang and
hurrah. The play was wen mount
ed and carefully staged and all the
cast acquitted themselves in mas
terly manner. This play, as well as
the opening bin, 'Thorns and Orange
Blossoms" was written by Mr. Nell
son Compton, who is member Of
the company. Mr.. Compton has
achieved the proud distinction Of be-
ing an "old timer" though not in
point of years, as he went on the
stage when very young. The chron-
ology of Mr.. compton's eventful life
as far as the truthful scribe learns,
IS something as follows: One bright
morning some years ago Mr.. Compton
was born. From his very first vocal
display it was seen that he would
be a rival of Robert Downing. The
next few years was devoted to a close
association with Borden's dairy, and

suddenly appears on the scene in the

INSTITUTE
of the State Epworth League
Here Will Be a
Big Event.

At a meeting of the Board OF Con-
troll OF Epworth League of the Meth
odist Episcopal church in the city Of
Chicago it was decided to hold an
Epworth League institute for the
purpose of training the Epworthians
of West Virginia in all departments
of League activity. This institute
will be a college in miniature and
will be in charge of faculty from
the leading colleges and universities
of Methodism. 1t will be held dur
ing the summer of 1908, probably
the first week in July, at the Fair
grounds at clarksburg.
The Rev. Wayne K. stalnaker, of
shinnston, who has been speaking
over the state prior to the meeting
OF the board has informed us that
the matter was settled at meeting
Of the board in Chicago, January
16, when the institute was granted.
The object of Rev. stalnaker's tour
was to secure 1000 to defray the
expenses of the institute and this he
did and the result was the thing will
take place at the time and place spec
ifed.
General Secretary Rev. E. NJ. Ran
dali, of Chicago. will have full con-
troll of the faculty and will make
their tour taking in West Virginia
at clarksburg. The athletics, and
social side will be in charge of the
Rev. Wayne X. Stalnakcr, the Rev.
j. E. Bird and Mr.. L. K. Richards,
president of the Richards Construct
ion company. These gentlemen are
each university trained men and
know athletics quite well, and fully
able to look. after this feature of it.
There were many applications for
the college in miniature but West
Virginia won out in the contest. Much
praise is due Mr.. L. X. Richards for
getting this Institute at Clarksburg,
as he pushed his town for all 1t was
worth.
This will be one of the greatest
gatherings of young people ever held
in West Virginia. There is a Meth
odist population in West Virginia of
$4,000 not including the NJ. E.
church, South, and other Methodist
branches. There will be at the in
stitute some OF the leading orators
of the United States to entertain at
night. There is already promised an
attendance of 500 students and most
Of them are manipulating so as to be
sure of a seat in the assembly.

HE BROUGHT OUT
AMELIA BINGHAM
Prominent Actor Now in City
Was the Man Who Also In
troduced Lizzie Evans.


Nelson Compton who is with the
Cutter Stock Co., which is filling
weeks engagement at the Grand
opera house, is an actor who has
taken prominent part in theatrical
business. lie is the man who
brought out Lizzie Evans in Fogg's
Ferry and also introduced the noted
actress Amelia Bingham. The lat
ter he found in a little Ohio town,
where her father conducted a hotel,
and recognizing in her exceptional
histrionic talents, arranged for her
appearance on the stage which met
with such remarkable success.
Mr.. Compton is one of the old
school of actors and is also one of
the best and is good either in
Shakespeare or comedy. He is con-
sidered fine dramatic teacher and
for several years when he was not
filling stage engagements he con-
Quoted a school of dramatic art. He
has played all over the United States
Canada and Mexico, and has been
abroad three times. For three de-
cades he has been identified with
leading theatrical ventures and by
this time he is pretty well posted
concerning the show business. Mr..
Compton is gentleman OF very
agreeable personality and is making
many friends here.
Twenty years ago Mr.. Compton
played through West Virginia with
Nellie Free as his star and while in
the state he is indulging in remin-
iscences of his tour then. He did
not play Clarksburg then, but did
most of the other leading towns and
he says there has been remarkable
change in all of them since that
time. 1t is hard for him to recol-
lect most of the places SO great has
been the change. He thinks the
state is qne of the most progressive
in the union and predicts big things
for it.
