WINNERS OF BASE
BALL PENNANT Is

New York, Sept. 15.-With the
American League, rag copied by the
Philadelphia team and the National
pennant already in possession OF the
Cubs, the major league fans are de.
prived of any excitement in the way
OF close finish. In a majority of the
minor leagues there is the same lack
of sensational wind-ups. A notable
exception was the Texas Leasgne race.
recently completed, the Lone Star
fans having been treated to a thrill.
ing and hairraising finale, with Dallas
winning over Houston by single
game. With the North Texas metro
polls pitted against the big city OF
South Texas, the climax w1s some in
teresting.
Several minor leagues will wind up
the 1910 season this week, and within
TWO weeks the curtain will be rung
down on King Baseball, so far as the
minors are concerned, with the except.
ion of the Pacific League. That or.
ganization will continue to play until
early in November and the finish
promises lots Of excitement. At pres
int, four of the six teams have a
chance at the pennant.
The Eastern League, in which Ro.
chester and Newark are fighting for
supremacy. will wind up ten days
hence. Minneapolis has the American
Association flag safely nailed to the
mast and the last ten days of play
will make no difference in the pennant
race. Sioux City has a safe margin i'm
me Western League. South Bend has
cinched the Central League champion.
sTupt Spokane is the leader in tho
Northwestern League race. The South.
ern League season will end Saturday
with New Orleans the winner. Dan.

BUSINESS MEMS EXCHANGE
TO Be ORGANIZED IN BLUEF|ELD

meeting OF the business men will
be held in the Chamber OF Commerce
rooms, Thornton Building. Friday even
ing, September l6, 1910 at 8 O'Clock
for the purpose of organizing a Bust
ness Mems Exchange.
The business men of Blueheld have
long felt the need OF an organization
of this kind. This system is I'm ex.
tensive use in Ohio. PENNSYLVANIA. In.
diana and West Virginia.
In community where the people
are constantly changing the business
man cannot get too much positive in
formation as to the hHnesty and prom.
ptness of his patrons. Many worthy
people are refused credit on account
OF others who buy without the means
of or intention OF paying. This sys-
tenn o Organization will keep the bus.
mess men thoroughly posted and up
to-date as regards the credit standing
OF every customer in this district.
The object of the organization IS to
bring the business interests OF the re-
spective towns and vicinities into clos.
er relationship, so as TO do away with
trade abuses. ard to systcmatize bus
mess ideas. In connection with the
orgaE cation each business man is
furnished with rating book giving
the rating of any and each individual
who may enter his place of bushes
The working OF the organization is
similar to that of the general mer-
chantile agencies of Dun and Brad
street, excepting that the Merchantss'
Mercantiie Agency lists individual
members of the town and vicinity
as to their manner OF meeting their
obligations when extended credit.
Each member of the organization fur
ishes the agency with information as
to how his customers meet their OBJ
legations, with him.
The system will include all towns
in the coal regions. Princeton, Poca-
hontas, Tazewell, Welch, Graham.

Oliver e. Pagan. Indictment expert
OF the Department of Justice who has
had much to do with the framing of
the text of the indictments found
against the big beef packers of the
country by the Federal Grand Jury
recently. Once or twice before Mr..
Pagan has drawn up or had charge
of the drawing up OF indictments that
were found to be faulty by some tech
nicality. This faultiness has only serv.
ed; however, to make clear what must
be done to finally secure the proper
indictment SO that the person instead
of the corporation might be legally
accused of wrong doing and have the
accusation stand. Mr.. Paka is consid-
cred as having the best knowledge of
THE antitrust law possessed by any
legal mind of the present day.

Thsrs's . Largo Pot of Trouble Brew
ing For Ono Miiiiner.
/ Mr.. Standish was mad when he went
into the millinery establishment, and
the longer he stayed the madder he
got Presently he walked over to a
stunning black creation that hung on
a peg near the window and said:
This Is the hat want to see you
about" ~ "a
The proprietor came forward. ~.
'What can do for your he asked
You can FIX this hat over the way
my wife asked you to-" said Standish
eSplosively. She wants the feather
put on the other side, that bow moved
to the front, and she wants the rim
to bulge little more over the tenn
pies"
Seeing guilty flush creep over the
proprietors face. Standish went on
with increased heat:
She says you have refused to make
any alterations on the ground that a
stitch added to or subtracted from the
nat Is bound to ruin 1t, but tell you
that's oil nonsense. My wife knows
how she wants her hat TO look. and IL
she can't stand up for her rights III do
1t FOR her. She is coming around this
AFTERNOON TO try the hat on again. IL
1t isn't ready by that time there will
be no end or n row"
The proprietor twirled the black hat
on his forefnger and looked from 1t to
the head saleswoman lugubriously.
II remember" he said. that the lady
who ordered tbrt hat did bring It back
yesterday to be remodeled. Perhaps 1t
Will be possible TO make the altera-
lions suggested after ALL"
The managers humility made Stand
ish feel very proud Of himself.
That's tho only way to deal with
those fellows" he said when he left
the shop. you've got TO meet them on
their own level. 1t takes q man to do
that No wonder women get cheated
out OF their very eyeteeth. They
haven't got sand enough to say the
things that have to be said to secure
their rights"
Throughout the day Standish con-
tinued to revel IN self congratulations.
and he actually went home half an
hour ahead OF time to see If his wife's
hat had been metamorphosed into the
thing of beauty he had suggested.
WELL" said he jubilantly, was the
hat all right?"
"All rightr' said Mrs. Standish.
They hadn't even touched 1t. How
could you expect it to be all right when
you didn't stop In TO see about IT."
but I did STOP" protested Standish.
Il saw everybody about the place and
laid the whole establishment out In
great shape. Here's their card to prove
was there. | picked 1t up as | was
passing out"
Mrs. Standish took up the card and
! read the name aloud.
"O-o-o-h! she cried lis that where
you went? Why. you got into the
wrong place. What on earth will that
manager think? He must think you
are crazy"
Il don't care IL he does" said Stand
ish Imply. but 1 would like to know
what the owner Of that black hat will
