SPORTING COMMENT.
BY J. ED GRILLo.

There does not appear to be any way to
stop the Athletics from winning the PEN
nant this year. With 9O-point lead and
the team going better than it has in sew
eral weeks the present trip has given it
an opportunity to strengthen its hold
on first place instead of losing ground as
was feared
In the National League the race is
tighter, though the Cubs have a COM
Portable lead But Pittsburg is going at
a terrific clip while the Cubs are slip
ping occasionally, so that there is still
a chance for the Pirates to regain the
lead.
Pittsburg has a lot of postponed games
to play off from this out, and il the team
has the pitchers to go through these
ordeals it stands an excellent chance to
win another pennant, though it will be a
marvellous performance if this is accom-
plished.
There is no team now that the Athletics
need fear. If things just break normal
ly for Mack the flag is his, of that there Is
no doubt The only real danger now is
that the Athletics will make runaway
race of it from this out.
The fight right now is one for second
place, berth which Boston seems to
have the best chance to gain. New York
is virtually out Of the running The alb
sence of Chase has weakened that team
badly and it has been losing consistently
of late.
Assurance is given that the kaufman
Langford fight in Philadelphia tonight
will be on the level or that 1T will be
stopped. 1t is so easy for couple of
fighters to give a siX-rOund exhibition
which will deceive even the wise ones
that every precaution should be taken to
make the battle on the level.
But these siX-round bouts really prove
but little To begin with, it would seem
! that a big fellow like Kaufman would not
be able to get going in so short a space
of time, while, on the other hand, Lang
ford knowing that he has only eighteen
minutes of fighting 90 do, can rush mat
tiers and go at top speed the entire route.
So the chances are that this contest Will
not determine who is really entitled to
have the first crack at Jack Johnson.
Johnson, in fact. does not intend to fight
for year or more so that the winner of
tonignt's battle will have opportunities

Pat Donohue is not getting much show
to do the catching for the Athletics since
Thomas returned to form. Pat may come
in handy however. if injuries put some
OF the other catchers out of commission.

Anent he /, K. Railroad.

The following article comes
from the pen Of Oscar Jenkins,
late Democratic nominee for
State AuG;tor and deals with a
subject in which every citizen of
this valley feels an interest.
The article was first published in
the Di5patch-News:
IT is absolutely necessary for
Parkersburg's prosperity and fu-
ture grow to have the Little
Kanawha railroad extended to
the up river coal fields, as we
must have cheap and permanent
fuel to increase materially our
manufacturing industries and
must have Jhe railroad to hold
our commercial supremacy IN
chat territory. The splendid and
in.elligen people up the Little
Kanawha valley naturally desire
to come e. Petersburg to trade
and mingle with our people, VIII,
have i'm common with them ;
kindred feeling, if the way, how
ever, is made easier to Charles
ton, Weston, ETC.. they will nat
urally drift in that direction, a
time is money with the people in
dustrious and wide awake. Som
will say es that is true, bu
how arc vo TO proceed to &c
said railroad extended? Ph
The Calhoun chronicle. [volume] (Grantsville, W. Va.) 1883-1984, 1910-02-01

answer is, work in an intelligent
and systametic manner.
The writer would suggest
the springing of some Republi-
can candidate as 'favorite son"
of the Little Kanawha valley to
succeed Senator Eikins in the
senate; in this way, Senator
Elkins would be forced to sit up
and take notice that the people
in that valley had made up their
minds to help those who are will
ing to help bring about through
sincere action and moral support
that would mean greater pros
perity to their valley. Wood
county should have candidate
anyhow for senatorial shoes now
worn by Senator Elkins.
In further support of extend
ing the Little Kanawha railroad
the writer would suggest, as sup
plimental to the above, a mass
meeting of the citizens of Wood
county to select delegates to meet
with delegates from other coun-
ties through which the railroad
would pass and have those in
turn select a few of the strong
est men from the various coun-
ties to comprise a standing COM
mittee to confer with railroad
powers to bring about the desir-
ed extension of the Little Kama
wha railroad.

A Lincoln Penny.

She was only a little girl and
she did not know much about
history, except that she had been
taught from the cradle to love
Robt. E. Lee. She had heard,
too, of Lincoln, and in the books
she read there had been no at
tempt to paint him as a scoun-
drel or treacherous william. She
knew that one time he had been
President Of the United States,
and that somehow he and Lee
had been arrayed again5t each
other. She did not understand
it perhaps she never will but
both men to her were great and
clean and spotless.
On Lees birthday at one of
the public schools Of this city the
children wished to contribute to
a fund for a monument to him.
They brought their little savings
and gave them cheerfully, glad
to be able to do even so little in
honor of their hero, the South s
hero. This one little girl had
only penny, and when it came
time to give that she hesitated
She had not thought of it before
but suddenly it occurred to her
that she must beware lest she
commit an improperly, please
teach her." she said, will it be
all right for me to give a Lincoln
penny"
We cannot all give Lincoln
pennies that will count as that
one did. How wonderously did
that little gift express the feel
ing of the great mass of Ameri-
cansl The coin with the head of
the war President was to be
used to assist in the erection of a
monument to the great Confed-
crate leader in that war, and who
can doubt that Lincoln and Lee,
if they saw the deed felt that
surely they had neither gone
through the strife in vain. "Out
of the mouth of babes and suck
lings" comes the answer to the
years of toll. This single Lin
coin penny was worth more than
any great sum Of money because
of the simplicity of the lesson it
taught and the magnanimity of
spirit which it manifested. The

Courier.

TIE Downfall of Taft

| Yesterdays proceedings in tn
National House of Representative
marked The climax of political par
tvs shame and the complete down.
fall of tic Taft idol.
Within the past few weeks it haC
become pretty apparent that tn,
feet Of tina idol were feet of clay
bit the chapter of history which
yesterday wrote proved that the
idols head was of no better mate
rial than It's feet.
Mr.. Tai. less than a year ago
began his administration with the
respect of the eptire country. He
was esteemed even by his political
opponents n man VIII ose breadth
and patriotic purposes ele waited him
above the plane of the mere partisan
Alas He now stands fully revealed
as one Of the sorriest figures in all
the category of political partisans.
For it is not concealed that his
party in the House has done his
will in packing the committee w mich
is to SIT in Judgment on the charges
that have heen made against his
Administration through his Sec
ctary If he Interior. Having
SUMMARY eNculpated- that official
Tithout apparently any investiga-
ton Of the truth of the charges
against him, now, when public sem
hment forces the request for con-
gressIoLal nyestigation, he has dc
tated the personnel of the commit
tee which Is to make that inves tiga-
ton; and 50 determined was ne to
put himself in this hu initiating posi-
ton that he denied the minority of
the House the right to choose its
own members of the committee. In
other words, on trial himself
through his Cabinet Minister. whose
cause he makes his own, and refer
ing his case to the tribunal of Con.
gross, who authorized committee
vas to contain representatives of the
political minority in Congress, he
has refused "a allow the minority to
name its representatives. insisting on
naming them himself!
And this by one who, in addition
to posing as a man of statesmanlike
caliber, has cultivated the distinc.
tive reputation of the jurist
The whole proceeding IS to be
characterized bv the one word,
Whi'ewasL. A committee SO cho-
sen can signify nothing else. It's
finding is discounted IN advance,
and so FIR as any value of such a
finding IS concerned, it might as
well be returned tomorrow.
Mr. Taft has now burnt his ships
behind him what few of them he
has not wrecked within the past
three OF four months and henceforth
it would be folly for HIM to make
any other yrstentions than of the
hack politi ian, willing to GO all
the usual politicians gaits in order
to get his ggst to mill. The coun-

The Grantsville News recently
stated that the Charleston Ga
zette intimated in its columns
that Jack Johnson, the negro
champion, would "wallop" the
life out Of Jeffries in their battle
next fourth O July. Here is
what the Gazette says in reputa-
ton Of the charge:
Libel! The Charleston Ga
zette didn't neither. The Ga
zette was not responsible for the
lily white plank in the democratic
platform and Furthermore the
Gazette never intimated that t he
big smoke would lick the boiler
maker. 1t is the confidence,
hope and belief Of this paper that
the evening of the next Fouth of
July will find a very badly pulver-
lied big smoke watching with
envious eyes Big jim count the
iron men that will accrue to him
from his signal victory. We are
good natured and hard to rile but
for heavens sake don't confuse
our position nor prostitute our
judgment in sporting events.
