The older heads of the Stogie team
accompanied by Manager Montgomery
will leave this evening over the B. &
o. for Morgantown. where they will
play the representative team OF the
state University tomorrow and Satur-
day afternoon. The boys will leave az
5:l5 and will go down to the little
college town with the determination
OF adding two more scalps TO their
belt. Monty stated last evening that
he intended taking the older heads OF
the team along and had not fully de-
cided just who would be included.
The varsity team is making ex-
tensive preparations for the coming of
the Wheelingites and have been prac.
ticing daily for the past week to get
In readiness for the duet OF games.
/ II is conceded that the university
bunch will have TO go some" to even
win one OF the games. but IL history
repeats itself the Stogies will not have
q walkaway I'm either of the contests.
/ The varsity will not be troubled in the
games with eligibility rules and the
regulars will appear in their usual
positions without any question The
+ coming or the Smokes has aroused
much interest among the students OF
the university rs we'll as the fighting
spirit among the ball tossers and two
excellent games are anticipated.
Monty reached n conclusion yester-
day in matter that has been causing
/ MN no little thought during the past
week and that was whether or not to
keep Servatius or Crane or release
/ one. Monty has deemed II advisable
10 retain both OF the men. who are
about the most promising players seen
IN this neck OF the woods for many
moons. The Wheeling club was Of
fered neat sum for the two players.
but turned the offer down. as n is the
desire 10 give local fandom the best
team possible this season. Both men
are good stickers as well as felders
and Crane will look after the initial
. bag position. while Servatius will
cavort around the right garden. With
Monty, Knisely and Servatius in the
outer garden the Stogies will have as
hard hitting trio as any one will
find in the Central league.
Willis HUMPHREYS. the California.
Pa. twirier. did not arrive in the burg
yesterday as was expected. but Monty
/ thinks he will sure be here to-day or
tomorrow. HuHphries is being de-
tained az his home owing 10 Illness.
but will be here before the opening OF
the season next Wednesday with the
Fort Wayne aggregation.
According 10 the big chief the fin

Monty will have 10 do some tall cut
