1t was as il the fateful cry had

CLARKSBURG. W. Va. April 2I.-
Sherman c. Denham. president of
the West Virginia Fair Association.
today announced that a program of
good horse racing would be provided
for the annual fair here this fall as
well as for the fairs of ParkerSburg

for $1,000 each at eaCn place because
of the foot and mouth disease and
quarantine regulations resulting from
il. The association is member of
the Lake Erie TrottiTg Circuit and the
cancellation of the usual big stake
races this year has caused keen dis
appointment throughout the state.
Directors of the three fairs will meet
together in the near future and ar
range another uniform program OF
races.

TO DEPEND
ON new RECRUITS
New Pitchers Will Be Used
To Strengthen the Hurl-
ing staff.

NEW YORK, April 21-That Nc
Graw intends to dig heavily and hur-
rtedly into his store Of recruits was
proved Saturday when he relieved
Mathewson by Stroud and Ritter-two
young twirlers absolutely new to New
York. In days gone by McGraw. fol-
lowing his established custom, would
have kept those two fellows on the
bench for a full season. giving them
chance to observe big league ways.
The only previous exception to his
rule was Al Demaree, who was chuck
ed right into the limelight at the start.
And for one season he made good
The sudden debut of minor league tai
ent into game that was yet young
means that McGraw feels the neces-
sity of taking quick inventory OF his
stock of new material. From these
recruits he must form pitching staff
this season. and nobody knows it any
better than the manager OF the Giants.
Stroud proved him r. !. peer OF
much GXper a.cs anu handled himself
.cteran should. though he did not
--,rify the fans as did Bill Ritter,
the six-footer from Wilmington. II
Stroud had Rttter's natural strength or
Ritter had Stroud's experience a
pitching machine would be formed
that would be difficult to beat. Stroud
has been in the big league before. but
was sent back for more seasoning and
came to the Giants from the coast.
Ritter is brand new
The most valuable thing in Ritter's
pitching repertoire is fast ball that
appears slow at the start. He has a
half sidearrn motion that gives the
batter the impression that he Is lack
Ing in speed. AS a result before the
hitter has set himself the ball shoots
over like a bullet. Several of the Phil
adelphia batters swung at the ball Sat
urday after it was IN Meyers nit.
For man just recovered from typhoid
fever Ritter looked like very healthy
prospect McGraw expects him to be
great pitcher and is hoping that the
greatness will show this season in.

taken to insure the future protection
of the surrounding forests from fire

terest of the Colorado Springs and
Cascade water supply systems. 1t is

be operated in such manner as to per-
nit egress and ingress of persons re-
