There has been a good deal Of
discussion around town about
Tuesdays game. 1t seems that a
great many believe the game to
have been ''fixed" on the side of
H'ville and that they "Uhrew the
game" We do not think this is so
bot that it is an alabbl. H'viIle had
little or no seam yesterday, pitch
erS in the outfeld and one in the
inheld, and the club torn up gen,
orally. Besides this McFarlan was
pitching and on top of that the
club was confident and could find
the pill. 1t would have taken a
better team than H'ville at her
best to have won yes terday.

MONDAYS GAME

Lariscy pitched the home club
to victory and shut out the Haw-
kinsvile team Monday. Lar:scv
was IN fine form and the visitors
could not find him. Six scattered
hits, two of the genus scratch
were all the visiting team could
get. Byrd got three of these out
of three trips up. Lariscy was
supported we'll. The only error
being boot by Myers of Clarks
hot one to the second bag in the
first inning. Myers certainly had
to make pretty run to touch it.
In the sixth, Norris led up and
doubled to right field Lariscy
followed and rolled a hot one to
short. Short booted it and threw
wild to first, letting Les take
third. Byrd pegged to him to
catch LariscY who was on his wav
to second. He BUNDLED it scoring
Norris. Myers bingIed to right
scoring LariscY. Mony sacrafced
Meyers to second. Barnett lined
a mummingbird through second.
Myers took third and started
home but was pegged by Reynolds
who had recovered the ball. Beal
singled. Hates popped up to short.
The game was called in the
eighth on account Of darkness.
The game itself was fast enough
but Nance and Clark "beafed' SO
long in the eighth that the ninth
inning could not be played. Nance
had punched thrice and the feelings
of this leadoff man from the Flag
league were hurt considerable. He
wanted four strikes. Livingston,
altho an A No. 1 pitcher, was also
inclined to kill time. Manager
Reynolds stopped that practice
tho.

McFarlan pitched alright ball
for Fitzgerald in spite of the fact
that he could hardly see straight
after receiving a fast one on the
bean in the fourth. The fans who
heard the lick had no idea that he
could pitch any more that day and
when he walked out on the dia-
mond the fifth he was greeted with
the applause of every onlooker.
Garwood relieved him in the eighth
after the game was clnched. He
had their goats this time and gave
up only one hit. Weaver was re-

West Ylrrinla for Burton.

The presidential boom OF the Hon.
Theodore Burton. former United States
senator from the state OF Ohio. is rap
Idly spreading to his own states neigh
boring state east of the Ohio river.
West yirginians grow stronger daily
in the belief that he will be the Re-
publican nominee next year West vir-
ginians think well of not only his
state but Of him as well. The West
Virginia Republican press is partlcu-
larry strong in advocacy of his nomi-
nation and 1t is noteworthy fact that
this advocacy comes In voluntary man.
ner. there having been no organized
effort thus far In his behalf In this
state.
Several Republican newspapers in
this state voice the opinion that were
the statewide primary to be held ut
this time, the presidential preference
would be given Senator Burton by
overwhelming plurality, and unless
something unforeseen happens before
next summer, when the primary will
be held, the Ohio "favorite son" will
assuredly sweep this state.
As statesman Senator Burton
commands highest respect. A careful
student Of public affairs, he Is always
safe and sound. While he is somewhat
conservative. he is not reactionary.
Rather he has strong tendencies to-
ward the progressive idea and he ac-
cepts as truly American the fact that
the nation should always go forward,
and while remaining true to its ira
ditions should nevertheless eagerly
meet new conditions and measure up
to all demands of modern times. He
realizes that new conditions mean new
and modern measures and he is not
incapable, as at least one West yir-
gtnia newspaper says of him. of being
Influenced by those social forces that
are slowly but surely changing the
industrial order of the nation. Pub
lie service and diligent study along
with wide observation make him a
man of comprehensive and expert
knowledge so far as public affairs are
concerned and no man knows the
needs Of our country better than he.
He is absolutely sound on the great
fundamental principles of the Republi-
can party and truly American in every
respect. His nomination would please
West Virginia and he would sweep the
state.

The conviction forces itself upon us
that William Jennings Bryan would DO
an ideal selectman in u backnumber
country village. He would argue
against the creation of fire depart
ment on the ground that 1t would be n
departure from time-honored tradi-
tons, n reversal of village policy, a
menace TO peace and safety and chal-
lenge to firebugs and incendiaries.
And in the discussions around the
