AWHILE this jockeying was going
" on the National League mag
mates were listening to testimony
which connected Murphy with the
umpire scandal The sporting edi-
tor Of the Post had q letter which
fastened the goods on Murphy and
his duty was to produce It for the
good OF the game.
johnson explained that he
wanted to bring Murphy up on
charges, and said that 4 he were
given the letter he would prefer
charges against Murphy. The let
ter in his possession, johnson failed
to make any charges against Muir
ply. but simply used his informa
ton to force Murphy to make the
trades that Johnson wanted made.

time or you didn't. If the former
there is no sense whatever in do

nON"r forget to touch runner
- that is running right by you
when YOU have the ball in your
hand. often inflelders have their
minds go intent on where to throw
the ball that they fail to realize the
runner can he more quickly touch
ed out and the ball then thrown to
the other base for doubles than
to attempt the double by two
throws.
But If YOU are standing right In
the runners path II is well to re
member that you run a great risk
Of spratning your wrist if yea stick
the bali out in front of you and
right toward him. If he is close
upon you he viii telescope your
hand and arm, and a sprain OF
some sort is almost bound to FOL

neatly to one side by foot or so
and lightly rake him with the ball
as he goes by, being careful you do
not try to hold the ball against Hl"i

IN guarding any base where you
have to put the ball on the run
ncr. remember that If you will hold
The ball in front of the base-that
ie. between him and the base TO
which he must come-you can
make him come into the ball him
self. For no man can reach the
base safely. nor be called safe
until he does get to that base,
Therefore it is quite unnecessary
for YOU to leave your station and

.tlG*doctors guaranteed a cure tbF Two
weeks treatment in local hospital,
was brought To. the attention OF the
Associated Charities. The organiza
ton Immediately investigated the
case and found on account Of the To-
cation, the case was out Of the juris-
diction of the town and county and
for lack of funds could not give the
sufferer the necessary treatment.
Think what christmas present
Of a two weeks treatment in the hos
pital would mean to this poor wo-
man and her four little tots. If she
receives this treatment she will in all
probability be restored to health and
be able to care for these little ones
and If such treatment is not fertlI-
coming. she may either sucCumb to
the malady or be crippled for life.
This is but one OF many needy
cases in this city,to which a few dol
lars would be a God send.
Fairmont people are not SLOW TO
respond to the call OF .the'needy and
the West Iirginian.. will spare no
pains or trouble to raise a tlnn
which will notnonly care for the
needy and bring Christmas cheer to
The little ones in5ncd but will aid the
Associated Charities all through the
year to render aid to the sick and
afflicted.
If you don't have dollars to give,
give half dollars, quarters, dimes,
nIckcls and even pennies and sec
how much benefit will be derived
from tho fact that You have given Of
your means to help those less fortu-
nate.
1t is said that there is much
greater JOY to be gotten from giving
u gift than receiving one. Try IT
and sec how Il is in your case by
sending a generous contribution to
the Associated Charities fund which
the West Virginian will cndcavor to
raise during The weeks that inter-

and the fight for liberty began. The

Moore argued the case. The supreme
court Of the United States affirmed
the decision on its merits in very

The money used to carry on the
case into the highest court in this
country was collected from the fell
low convicts in the prison who were
all well pleased yesterday morning
when they learned that Rev. Graham
had been granted a pardon.
No person knew what influence

had previously arranged that Graham
spend the remainder Of his years at

Graham left the institution yester-
day morning, a fur different man
from what he was when he entered
on his life term. His hair was gray,
his body bent and he walked with a
nervous step. His body bent far for

him, only a short time ago, as his
last place on this earth. With his

he afforded picture which caused
