The Clarksburg baseball team Will

tomorrow the strong Monongah team
The booking last week of this game
by Manager Smith greatly pleased
the many baseball fans in this city
as they realize that when these two
teams meet there is bound to be
good game as result OF the meet
ing.
The Monongah team has not
previously this season appeared IN
this city, but has been playing else
whore every Sunday and also week
day games in which it has been very
successful, having won the biggest
majority of games both on the road
and at home which they have played,
Monongah has defeated all the
teams that Clarksburg has played ex'
cepting the Ptttsburg Collegians, -
which it lost Thursday at Fairmont
by a score of to ). Clarksburg lost
to the Collegians hero last Sunday
by a 5 to 3 score.
Manager Smith. OF the locals, VINO
has been away upon business VISIT
for week, will be back in the line
up, which will greatly help the 10
calls as he was sadly missed in yes
terdays game with Elkins. Wyatt
of the university team, may be seen
behind the bat, replacing Dawson WHO
has not been hitting OF late and
whose pegging has been very bad
Danley, the absent pitcher has re-
turned and in all probability VIII
be back in uniform and will pitch
for the locals, Cuppett having worked
the last three games.
The Monongah team is managed by
Lew Hunt, the old Fairmont leag-
uer, and reports say that he has a
g. eat bunch of players together.
Backnan, Gronniger, Cole, Riddle,
Malone and Merrill, members OF the
team are university players. There
are other fast college youngsters on
the team including Hutchinson and
Rink" Darlington, the old o. s. star.
Hunt or Toothman will be upon the
mound for the visitors, and it Is
safe to say that If Toothman
pitches, the locals will have hard
struggle to connect with the south
paw as there are seven left-handed
Ibatters on the Clarksburg team.
Taking it all in all the game
should prove hummer and those
who will journey to the park to see
the affair will more than get their
moneys worth The game will start
promptly at 3 o'clock, Special cars
will cave the court house at 2:Os and
2:8S O'Clock.

during their long partnership not one un-
kind word had passed between them.
Mr. Huntington was most shrewd in his
bushes dealings and quick TO grasp an op-
portunity for gain, not alone for the profit
himself but for the keen satisfaction he
derived in proving his surmises along busi-
ness lines correct.
His maxim was that anything that can
be bought for less than the cost Of produc-
ton. tnat is not perishable. and that is an
article in general use is worth buying and
holding story is told illustrative Of this.
Huntington once bought lot OF bar steel
al e time when there was no manufa cturing
IN California. No one wanted it. and the
owner was glad 10 dispose Of II at a cent a
pound. For four years he stored II IN a
shed in his back yard. but when quartz was
at last reached everybody wanted steel The
result was that he sold the greater part Of
his supply for 81 a pound
Successful as Huntington was In his hard
ware business. he was not satisfied and be-
gan TO ponder new business project. His
local reputation was firmly established, but
still the field seemed TO him too limited. and
he longed TO test his abilities in a broader
cne. The idea Of a railroad that should
toin this wonderful new land he had dis
covered 10 the old one he had left behind
kept surging through his mind. The task
would BE- an appalling one. He realized
that but he also appreciated what the sue
cessful carrying out Of such an enterprise
would mean 10 the country and 10 It's pro-
moters
After months OF thought in 1851 he threw
himself boldly into the project. He first
tried 10 interest some Of his fellow citizens.
He pictured 10 them what IL would mean 10
