It is pointed out, however, that Haughton will be obliged to change his tactics, if he is to succeed as a professional baseball magnate. Pub licity is needed in the professional game and Haughton cannot be sui ticiently lacking in perspicacity to fail to appreciate this fact.

Eastern papers are printing some interesting stories of the fight at Havana in which Jess Willard wrest- ed the heavyweight crown from Jac1 Johnson. According to some of the dope being passed out, the match wa5 a fixed affair and Johnson was to get S20,00O extra for taking the count be fore the close of the twenty-sixth round.
 It now develops, if one is to be lieve certain sport writers, that John son never received his bonus for throwing the fight to the Kansas cow boy. Johnson also complains that he never received his share of the nov ing picture receipts.
 Many sport followers will discrediI these stories but others are wont to take more or less stock ih the tales which have been more or less in thc air ever since the meeting of the white and black giants at Havana. A is always the case in sporting matters or anything else, time will telP'.

Frank Sloman of California is am- bilious to defeat Ted Meredith in the national quarter mile champion ship at Newark this summer. Slo- man was undefeated until he bump ed into Meredith at the Panama-Pa- cific games last August, and the beating that Ted handed him has ranked Sloman ever since. and so much so that he yearns for revenge on the Pennsylvanian.

Information furnished Walter Hagger-
tyb is out on bond furnished by some
one of such importance that Justice
OF the Peace r. Leigh Fleming refuses
TO say who 1t is. The information
against Scott charged him with selling
whiskey-and very bad whiskey; SO
bad in fact that Myers had an awful
time keeping red, white and blue COWS
from hitting him over the head with
locomotives. While thus evading the
female Of the bovine family he also
had to steer clear Of snakes with au.
tomobile headlights fol optics. Myers
was very drunk, he admits all this. He
was In such bad condition that he
unconsciously squealed on one Of the
'bootleggers alleged to be protected.
Sheriff Conway, armed with the war
rant for Scott went to the colored bar

the Lord High Monarch Of the under.

that a mistake had been made and
something had to be done right away

With Scott things were different;
he could waive to the Grand Jury.

When Grand Jury sits W. D. Scott
In n3alll likelihood will say that he never
sold diany whiskey. Myers. having seen
the folly of his ways will have to fur

he tells the Grand Jury what he told

that body will not indict him.

Scott is enjoying all the freedom Of

To Republicans
of West Virginia

On account Of the fact that the
primary for the selection Of dele.
gates to the National Republican
conventions In West Virginia to sc.
take place only one day before the
National Republican Convention, 1t
became necessary to call special
convention ms West Virginia, to sc.
lect delegates to the National Con.
yenticn, the names Of these dele
gates to go on the primary ticket
for endorsement. Such conyen-
doas were duly and formally called
by the State Committee, and the
various Congressional Commit
tees.
The State Convention which met
in Wheeling on May 4th, unani-
mously nominated four Delegates at
Large. These four delegates re-
ceived the vote of every member
Of the. Convention. representing ey.
cry county in the state. They are,
therefore. properly entitled to the
endorsement Of the Republican -vo.
ters Of West Virginia In the pri.
mary Of June 9Th. These four are
Governor II. D. Hatfield,
Isaac T. Mann, Mercer County,
Ex-senator Davis Elkins, Monon-
gala county. H. G. Ogden Ohio
County.
Following the convention, other
persons who were not candidates
before the convention at all, and
whose names were not presented to
the convention, had themselves an.
nounced as candidates in the pri.
mary.
In view Of the proceedings Of the
convention, which was one OF the
most harmonious and enthusiastic
evar held in the state, and In view
Of its unanimous endorsement Civ.
On the above four candidates, It
seems to the State Committee prop
er to make this announcement of
the facts, and to urge upon Repub.
licans generally to give their en-.
dorsement to the four candidates
above named.

Of esleynn's in every branch ofin-
ter-co1le egiate sport, but since that
time she has dropped out to IA large

NAL Unexpectedly, trimmed Wesleyan
at basketball by good score and
there is much more OF q tendency In
local circles to regard the Normal

rely on the very same entries against
Fairmont Normal that'she puts against
West Virginia at Morgantown today
and every one of the stars on the Gin

Wesleyan is especially strong in
the dashes, weights. middle distances
and long distances, but is weak in
the hurdles and has only Shumaker
to rely upon in the jumps and his re-
cent injuries make his competition un-
certain though Of course II he is in
good condition the pole vault and
broad jump records are liable to be
broken. Wesleyan has been limited
in opportunity for try.outs this year
and more. can be told Of the real
strength Of the team by its perform
