laymen's Movement.

In all human activity there is a con-
slant effort towards the uplift of the in
dlvldusl, and the greatest effort to this
end IS the bringing of people in closer
touch with the teachings of the Bible as
the best means of raising the ethical
standard of the races of the earth. The
TWO greatest movements to this end at
present are the Sunday School Associa-
tlons and the Lsymen's Movement, and
both are gaining a foothold throughout
this country.
The Laymen's Movement is a new
thing to ali but a few in this section
and the first steps to make it popular
mere were taken on last Friday after
noon, when Rev. Charles H. Pratt. of
Richmond, field secretary of the move
ment, met few of those interested
and explained the scope and methods of
the movement. After a general discus
sion by those present, it was decided to
hold another meeting on Sunday on the
lawn at the residence of J. A. Leslie to
complete the organization.
The meeting on Sunday was well at
tended Caotain A. J. Tynes was made
chairman. The first matter for discus
sion was the advisabilty of holding q

Baseball News.

The Tazewell club played at Bluefield
on last Friday and Saturday and brought
home the scalp of the hitherto invinci-
BILE Bluefield team. The game on Fri
day was rather uninteresting, Tazewell
winning by the score of Z to 4, with
only one earned run. Douthat, for
Bluefeld, pitched star game, but his
support was ragged. Errors coupled
with poor and too deep fielding were re-
sponsible for all but two of Tazewell's
runs. The Bluefield twirler succeeded
in striking out eleven Tazewell batsmen.
Sam Peery was the star of the
Tazewell team, his pickup in the fifth
inning being feature.
The game of Saturday was a good
one, the playing being fast and snappy
with but few errors. Tazewell won on
stick work and the efficient pitching of
both Peery and Greever, who supplant-
ed the former. Hawley was the star in
this game for Bluefield, his running
catch in the sixth bringing round after
round of applause from the spectators
Besides Peery's good pitching and eff
ficient work at third, he was the only
man on either team to secure more than
a single hit. The final score in this
game was: Tazewell 5, Bluefield 8.
The Gary team has organized for the
season and is ready to meet any club in
this section. Gary has secured the SER
vices of Woodson, the crack first base
man of last years team, who up to sew
eral weeks ago had been causing quite
a sensation in the Carolina ass ociation
by his ability at the bat. Robertson
and Esser, the two old reliables, will
again be in the game and with the add;-
tion of several new men, Gary promises
the public the best article of ball seen
for some time. The grounds have been
put in good shape, a new grandstand
built and everything is in readiness for
the game. Any team wishing a game

We can't help telling this one on the
senior editor of the Clinch Valley News.
Last week he started an editorial,
which, by the way, did not appear, on
the practice of some of our fellow citi-
zens in letting their stock run at large.
Just as he had reached the most scath-
ing part, and where his language fairly
sizzled from the v.hemence of his ut
terance and his burning words were
making the paper smoke, small boy
put bis head in the office door and ex-
claimed: ''Mr. Leslie, you had better
go down to the pound and get your
mare out" A fellow-feeling, that
makes the world akin. especially when
you are ''it," has caused our esteemed
contemporary to modify his views on
the once nefarious practice of turning
your stock upon the streets.

ST 1IF TING PITCHER
COSTS SOX GAME
Ccote Substituted by Bushleman When 1t Was Announc-
ed Walter Johnson Would Hurl for Nationals and
McAleer Men Make Five Marks in the First
By SENATOR"

VEh an 1t was announced yesterday at
National Park that Walter johnson
would twirl for Washington there was
a sudden change in the plans of the
RudderIess Red Sox, and instead of US
ing Eddie Cicotte, a Mr.. Bushleman,
late of New Bedford, in the New Eng
land League, was ordered to the rubber
to oppose the slaughter of sluggers.
Before the sun had set on the first
inning the Nationals had performed the
surprising, unprecedented, alarming.
not to say, the remarkable feat of hav-
ing scored five runs without even the
semblance of hit. Bushleman had no
more control than a man with an un-
governable temper, and was as wild as
one who has just lost an Inheritance.
He had curves that would not curve
and speed that would not speed. with
the result that before the Nationals
went on the defensive for the second
time they had piled up five runs that
looked as big as a pardon to first de-
glee murderer.
Then with startling suddenness Mr..
Bushleman abandoned his sky explor-
ing and settled down with such de-
termination that during the succeeding
six rounds q brace of singles was all
they could do to the slants and shoots
that he served.
In the eighth the WIS jumped on
Bushleman, and as a parting fling
whaled the cork center for four hits, re-
suIting in two more runs, making a
glorious total of seven counts for US,
while the opposition had to be satisfied
with solitaire.
The few fielding honors that were
floating around were fished up by Gard
rler, the invading second baseman. He
made a couple of neat scoops and in
the sixth while going with all speed
ahead harpooned a line drive from
Milan's bat that got him a hand
The crimson-hosed lost no time in get
ting busy in the first. Hooper drove
into Lake Milan for a safety, and
Yerkes' pop, that would usually be easy
enough, sunk in front Of Mcbride back
Of short, putting Hooper on second.
Speaker bounded toward third and as
Morgan set himself to make the play
the ball took a, foolish bound and con-
tinued on to left field, while Hooper
waded home with the run that was des-
tined to be Boston's only one of the
game Gardner flied, Engle forced
Yerkes,' johnson to Street, and Speaker
was left stranded at Dock No. when
Schaefer handled Lewis without assist
ance. ....... go -f..
Mr.. Bushleman's donation party was
held in the second half of the first.

Milan drew a pass and swan to third
when the pitcher threw to the stand In
an attempt to catch him off his moor
ings. Schaefer got four balls, and SO
did Elberfeld.
Longs Sacrifice Fly.
With all ports occupied, Long debut
ed by driving a long sacrifice fly to
right, which sent Milan in. Walker forced
Elberfeld, but Schaefer counted. Nc
Bride was hit by a pitched ball. and
Morgan was the fourth to go down by
the Big Four route. With three and
two on Street. everybody set sail, with
the result that when Janvrin threw
wildly from third to first three Nation
ais registered.
With a lead of four runs and Walter
johnson pitching, the outcome was as
sured, so the fans simply settled down
to await incidents.
There was no more scoring until the
eighth, when the Nationals added cou-
pie of more. Walker splashed bounder
in front of the plate, and was at first
ahead of the throw. McBri6e's single
put Walker at third, from which port
he SWAN in when Morgan shot one into
right Street hit safely, and when John
son hit into a double play McBr1de
reached the home port.

Vincent Daley looks good.

The attendance OF women at the major
league parks in New York city this
season has caused considerable COM
ment. Never have so many women made
II a practice of going to the ball parks
for an afternoon outing. While it is
worthy of comment. 1t is also worthy
of commendation. Baseball must be a
clean sp1rt to attract women. They
would not continue to go to games II
none but rowdies participated in them.
They would stay away II the uInpires
were n.oSbed almost daily. Women
don't like that kind of work. Baseball
Is making good reputation for itself
when 1t attracts women in numbers
large enough to excite comment.
