DIR. Hogg and Mr.. Green.

There is quite a difference between
the employment Of Charles Edgar
Hogg, dean OF the College Of Law of
the West Virginia University, as
counsel in the Virginia debt suit
and the practice of Henry S. Green,
one OF the lesser instructors in the
university, in trying 10 conduct a
daily newspaper at Morgantown and
hold town a teaching position in the
university at the same time.
Dr. Hogg was retained as counsel
in the Virginia debt suit long be-
fore he was asked to give up lu-
crative law practice and take over
the management OF the law college
at the University and he made the
change, at a considerable sacrifice,
with the distinct understanding that
he should be allowed to continue as
counsel in this important case in
which the state is a party and also
to appear as counsel in other cases
occasionally when they would not
interfere with his duties in the Col
lege Of Law. This was what may
be termed good bargain for the
state as it thereby obtained at a
nominal figure the services Of one
OF its most brilliant and able native
sons-a distinguished and scholarly
lawyer whose attachments as a law
text writer alone have ranked him
among the law authorities Of the
country and have given sufficient
testimony Of his high worth. Be
sides, his engagement as counsel in
this important case was a proper
recognition Of West Virginia talent,
such as served to please the people

1t was the lawyers who prayed
that the legis lature a few years ago
give Harrison county criminal
court. Since then the people gen.
orally have Joined the lawyers in
appreciation of the answer to the
prayer, and there are but few, il
any, persons in this county, who are
pleased with the threat of the lcgis-
lature to abolish the court. 1t has
proved beyond shadow of doubt
the necessity Of its being and no one
familiar with the great amount OF
litigation in Harrison county can
successfully deny that 1t is impera-
i've.
Its creation was not for the pur-
pose as the members Of the bar here
know, Of having offices for moro
men. No such motive prompted the
bar, whose members were practically
unanimous for its creation. Since
it came into being; the Telegram has
heard no complaint against its ex-
istence.
The judicial circuit comprised OF
Harrison and Lewis counties, both

Since the thirteen colonies became

BASEBALL COACHING.

In tho Big Leagues the Sign Language
10 Constantly Changing.
Hugh s. Fullerton writes in the
American Magazine on baseball coach
ing in the big leagues. He says:
"Each team has its different systems
Of coaching. it's different language of
signs, motions. cipher words or phrases,
and no one can hope to learn them all.
The worst Of trying to study the sign
language Of the game. by which the
coachers from the little spaces near
first and third bases give or transmit
the orders for plays, lies in the fact
that the sign languages change rapid
ly, often being altered or entirely
changed in day. II Arlie Latham
jumps into the air and screams Hold
your base!' it may mean Steal second
today and tomorrow it may mean Hit
and run One never can tell what a
sign means. Hughie Jennings hoists
his right knee as high as his shoulder,
pulls six blades Of grass and Delahan-
ty bunts. You are certain that Jen-
nings signaled him to sacrifice, so the
next day when Cobb is at bat and Jen-
nings goes through the same motions
you creep forward and Cobb hits the
ball past you so fast you can't see it.
If Connie Mack tits his hat over his
eyes and Eddie Collins steals second
base as the next ball is pitched, nat
urally you watch the hat, and. 10, Bar
ry plays hit and run. You hear Clark
Griffith yelp Watch his foot" and see
two Of his players start double steal.
The next time he yells Watch his
foot! you break your neck to cover the
base and both players stand still. Some
players and most spectators give up
striving to learn the sign language OF
the game and just pie bail without
trying to anticipate moves or to pre-
pare for the style Of attack"

of the line that the advantage was

largely against reciprocity. 1t is
possible also, that powerful interests

of annexation and the rousing Of the

factors in shaping the result.
