81 am a candidate for secretary Of
state" declared Houston G.. Young
chief clerk under Stuart F. Reed
whom gossip long ago placed as hav-
ing the office in view and whose serv-
ices in his present capacity put him
in line for advancement. Mr.. Io"ngs
friends have been quietly boosting lin
for some time and they have sought
expressions from leading politicians Of
the state, many OF whom encourage
him to make the race.
Mr.. Young has everything In his
favor. He comes from u well.known
West Virginia family, has largo lcr-
sonaI following, enjoys the confidence
of the leading mon OF the state, and
is exceptionally well equipped in every

way for the position. He has been
chief clerk in the Office Of the secre-
tary OF state for eight years under
both Charles w. Swisher and Stuart
F. Reed. His familiarity with the Of
flee places him in unique position;
no one in the state is quite so able to
govern that important department of
tho work as Mr.. Young.
When Mr.. Young was first mem
toned for this office, during the regu-
lar session OF the legislature, he
underwent a thorough investigation on
the part of many prominent men and
the fact that no objection has 5oen
filed to his candidacy speaks volumes
for his popularity and the confidence
of the people in his ability. During
the present extra session there has
been many things said in his favor and
it Is only fairness to record that il
any Republican in the state has a
preference for some one else for this
position he has kept quiet.
Mr.. Young is q graduate of Wesleyan
college at Buckhanuon and the West
Virginia University. He Is, first Of all.

verify It was hard for a yis=
ting team TO win there:
Pittsburgh once banked the third
base foul line to hold bunts on. fair
ground, and caused long wrangle
IN the league.
Almost every manager has the
pitchers plate elevated or lowered to
help the home pitchers or handicap
the visitors. For tall overland pitch
ers the plate is elevated as far as
the rules will permit-and often even
higher, while It IS lower for the small
underhand pitcher. Some ground
keepers change the elevation of the
slab from day to day according to the
pitcher who is<to work.
Soaping the ground around the
pitchers slab Is common, and some
managers have "doped" the ground
in the batters' box, their own men
avoiding the "doped" spots. Mixing
red pepper or other stuff with the soil
has been done repeatedly.
One favorIte trick is soaking the
base lines to make the going heavy
for speedy teams.
Almost all slow.footed clubs keep
the inheld heavy and soggy on pnr-
pose to equalize their speed with that
Of the faster teams.
The majority of these tricks are
forbidden by the rules and the UNI
pires will stop them II they discover
what is being done, but it is extreme
~ hard to follow the ingenious invent
iveness Of the players who seldom
repeat the old trick, but spend lot
of time thinking up new devices for
getting shade the better OF It.

Perhaps no celebrated author was
more hostile toward tobacco than
Balzac, 1t is true that Lamarttne
speaks OF the novelist's teeth as black
encd by cigar smoke. but Lamartine
was not intimate with Balzac. eau
tier on the other hand knew him we'll
and wrote eloquently about his hatred
of tobacco, BaIzac's ruling passion
was coffee, which injured him and
perhaps killed him. In some of his
novels he mathematics tobacco.
When he allows some OF his characters
to smoke there is yelled contempt "As
for De Marsay he was busted in
smoking his cigars"
