Scouts Seek Talent
IntheS Small Towns

The city youth with big league
baseball ambitions either must toss
aside those ambitions Or move to a
small town.
For some strange reason big league
scouts pass up the big towns and
spend their time burrowing among
the small towns. The further away
the small town is the better. The
scouts seem to give more weight 10
tips concerning ball players operat'
ing in towns Of about 500 or 1000
population than they do concerning
stars in towns Of $4,000 and $4,000.
When the scouts get a tip that there
is a real ball player frisking around
on the sand lots of Pittsburgh, New
York, Brooklyn, Detroit, Chicago
Cleveland, st. Louis, Philadelphia OF
some other town they give those tips
no consideration whatever.

In Local RiUer
SAM R. NUzUM AND c. w. EVANS
NAMED BY BOARD
OF TRADE.
CONSIDERABLE CRITICISM IS
HEAPED UPON BALTIMORE G
OHIO RAILROAD co.

Messrs. Sam r. Nuzum and G. w.
Evans have been appointed a COM
mittee to represent the .Fatrmont
Chamber of Commerce in soliciting
tho aid OF United States government
engineers in reference to the pro-
posed fill seeking to be made in the
Mononga1iela river by the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company, in pr.
der that the company may continue
the construction Of its Palatine branch
through the city.
The Chamber OF Commerce had
tcen asked by the Railroad Company
TO recommend tho Stag fill, but the
local body is not going to take any
chances in antagonizing the govern
meut which has spent many thousands
Of dollars to give the people in this
community a %naYlgahle stream.
At a meeting held Monday the mat
ter concerning the fill. was discussed
by members of the Chamber and the
above modus operandi was agreed
upon. At a meeting held last week
there was considerable criticism offer
ed regarding the way in which the
Baltimore and Ohio seeks to do things
in Fairmont.
In order for the railroad company
to build its Palatine branch it is nee
essary to construct a large retaining
wall or to make a fill SO that the
tracks ian be laid under the present
bridge. In constructing the wall or
making the fill a considerable part
of tho channel east Of the midTlver
rier would be taken up.
