Hazel GREEN'S Lament.
(Tune- well l Swan. y

(Tune well / Swan.")
There was a ball game played to-
day with H. G. A.
With the team from West Liber-
ty beat up from who knows
where,
We learn it had it's Harmon men
and others along to help
them,
That's the reason why the score
ran up into the air
But l swan, their umpires were
bum,
Or was it that they didn't know
just how to Judge the
game,
At any rate they hit the gate Of
judging wild and off the
plate,
Awaiting their pitchers approval
for the same.
But don't feelbadly H. G. A.,
because you lost the game
to-day,
IT'S often by our failures that we
rise to deeds the higher.
The next time you play ball, get
in the game for good and
all,
And show the West Libertys
some H. G. A. fire.
Well I swan, the game has come
and gone,
West Liberty's Growing because
the think they've killed you
dead,
But wait until another day when
you with them play,
And they'll fad that H. G. A.
will then come out ahead.
Miss Dew. Hazel Green.

The Real Aristocracy

The real aristocracy of any
community are the people who,
having a bithright in the place
in which they live, and having
girded themselves about with
honor and integrity, know that
nobody, anywhere, are better
than they are.
They can afford to live econom-
ically and plainly, and do their
own work if they choose, and
because of these economies they
can take and enjoy the higher
and better things of life. They
do not need to have a lot of mon
ey, or to put on airs, they are
the real quality, and in their So
ciety the simple vulgar rich, who
have nothing but their money to
recommend them, would feel
miserable, lonesome and out of
place. And in this very aristocra-
cy you will find a greater degree
of decency and refinement and
comfort and happiness than any
where else on earth. Farmers

Two Victories
West Liberty Base Ball Teams Put
1t Over Hazel Green in two
First Games Of Season

The West Liberty ball team
journeyed to Hazel Green Satur-
day to try conclusions with the
invincible team from that little
Mountain City, which had been
reported as being in such fine fet-
tie that nowhere in the Noun
tains would they be able to find
a foeman worthy of their steel.
But alack and alas! The best laid
schemes Of mice and men gang
aft aglee. Not that Hazel Green
couldn't play ball-no, not that,
but there were others who could
play.
The score stood four to full six
teen,
But not in favor Of Hazel Green.
Yes that's what happened but
just how it happened well our
space is too limited to tell it all.
The features.of the game was the
playing Of Davis, Fraley, Potts,
Cisco, Steel, Henry (Walter),
Henry Daniel,) Cox and Carter.
The line up was as follows.

The Female Of the Species.
BY GilbertsPatton Brown.

ny RiiDOi vi tlulOll DlOWh'
The writer is a bachelor of good New
England birth;
And here in Cultured Boston, Yes,
the dearest town on earth
He writes some verse, likewise some
prose and tries to get the kale
And he'll tell you why the female is
more deadly than the male.
This thought has long been vexing
men, they can no longer bear it,
Yet many bane no5 the caurage to
openly declair it.
But brother Kiplirg here of late his
verse has hit,the nail
That the female Of the Species
is more deadly than themale.
I once tried to win maiden, yes, l
tried and tried again
1t was way back inlmy boyhood, in
the sturdy st3fe OF Maine;
l tried by night, 1 tried by day, yet it
was no avail,-
For the Female OF The Species was
more deadly than the male.
I've read from the book oJnature on
the lond and on The sea,
I've seen Widows ard fair maidens in
theirchoicest fiery,
But each one krews because she knew
wcmans intinss never fail
Fol the Female Of The Species is more
deadly than TIE male.
Now my dear and jentle readsr, stil
alone On earth3am I;g@
Man has never beea a leader--Ill
neither whimpey or cry.
Pllstill love The genile darlings, thoug
l soon may hit fhe trail
For the Female of thk Spices is more
deadly than thq male.

If the Il. G. AS will searcl

If the II, G. AIS will search
diligently it is the opinion of the
better informed that they can
find a ball team somewhere in
the mountains of "0ld Kahn
tuck" that can interest them.
But the people of Hazel Green
are good entertainers and those
who attended the game Saturday
were pleased with the courtesies
shown them while there, and de-
sire to extend their thanks to the
good people whomade their stay
in Hazel Green apleasant one.

The H.G.A. second ball nine
came overto West Liberty Mon
day and crossed clubs with the
High School team of this place.
Although the scores ran high
there was some pretty snappy
playing by both teams. The
game seemed to lag at times and
a great many errors We're made,
but conditions were very unfa-
vorable. The wind was blowing
a gale throughout the entire game
and toward the latter half it turn
ed so cold that the players actual
ly suffered,
Henry, for the locals, pitched a
good game, and had it not been
for a few costly errors would
have held the visitors down to a
much lower score. Cisco replac-
ed Henry in the 9th and finished
up the game allowing only 2 addi-
tional runs. Carter for the H. G.
A. pitched fast ball throughout
and with proper support would
have had a different tale to tell.
The line up was as follows.

The report that the masters who viii

not alarm chess enthusiasts about tie
ultimate success Of this great undertake
ing. We cannot believe. in the face Of
Mr. Rosebault's repeated assurances that
the necessary funds were in hand, that
the delay was caused by failure on the
part of the management to furnish trans
portation expenses. What has probably
happened is this: Hoffer and Marshall
received word at the eleventh hour that
some of the masters who had at first de-
cied that they could not make the trip
could make arrangements to come If the
date of the opening round could be post
poned a short while, and naturally con-
cluded to wait If this is not the case, IL
Mr.. Rosebault has not offered proper
guarantees for the expenses and prizes
we trust that adequate and immediate
steps will be taken by Felix Kahn. treas

inexplicable mismanagement.

now living in Uxbridge, Mass. is III town
