You don't know rrEs young woman, neither do We,

taught her to the same method if she loses her

Capable workers, offering their services to bust

to find the right opportunity.
In fact, not many business men would care to EN-.

GETTING SET FOR
TENNIS TOURNEY
Physical Director Clevett
Now Ready to Receive
Entries.

Physical Director Clevett of the
local Y. NJ. c. A. is now making def
mite plans for the tennis tournaments
which we're Contemplated earlier in
the season and he announced yester-
day that entries would now be re-
ceived.
There will be two tournaments. One
tournament will be for men only and
will bn singles. The other tourpa-
ment will be doubles and will be for
tennis sharks Of the city an c,opor-
men and women, giving the female
tennis sharks of the city an orOor-
tunity to compete for honors
The tennis tournaments will likely
be started the, last week in this month
or the first week in September No
definite date has been arranged as
yet. Before tie schedule is worked
out definitely 1t will be necessary to
know the number of persons who are
going to enter and for this reason
1t is essential that all persons who
are planning 10 get in either tourna-
ment should hand In their names
now. The tournaments will take
place at the Y. NJ. C. A. courts at
South Side park.
Since the construction of the
courts, there has been quite bit of
interest in the sport locally and it
is believed that the tournaments will
prove popular.

WANT BIG GAME
STARTED LATER
Management of City Lea.
que Unable to Comply
With Requests.

The letter printed below is one
from an enthusiastic baseball fan who
cannot attend the O'Clock game to-
morrow afternoon between the Mo-
nongah Glass and Watson Building
baseball teams and makes inquiry as
to why the game could not be played
at A o'clock instead of 2 o'clock.
The West virginian has passed the
fans suggestion on to the president
of the City league NJ. L. Clevett, who
made an effort to have the hour of
the game changed, but learned that
the Midwest baseball team which
Is scheduled to play at o'clock, can
not possibly change their game to
two o'clock, as the factory men do
not quit work until p. m.
The management of the league de-
sires to cooperate with the public as
far as possible and the West yir-
gtnian will be glad to take up any
suggestion from patrons with the
proper league officials. The letter
concerning the game tomorrow fol-
lows:
Fairmont, Aug. Athletic Editor
The West Virginian:
would like to suggest that the
managers Of the Watson Building and
other teams that are to play base
ball on Saturday. afternoon, next be
asked to play the watson Building
Monongah Glass game Second as there
are great many fellows who work
till three and four o'clock on Sat-
urday who are very anxious to see
this game but cannot do so II 1t is
played at two o'clock / cannot see
why this could not be agreeable to
all teams and by playing it last 1T
will hold the crowd much longer.

TOMORROW GAME
STARTS ON THE DOT
Lemley Scheduled to Pitch
for Watson Building
Team.

Clark Lemley will pitch for the
Watson Building tomorrow and either
Charlie Burns or Charlie Long, most
likely the former, will york for the
Monongah Glass. The game will
start promptly at 2 o'clock and not a
minute later due to the time limit
in which to play the game. The sec
ond game between the Midwest and
the Wholesalers will begin at 4 p. M.
Lemley is in the very best condi-
ton and is confident that he and his
team mates can turn the trick. Burns
was at one time one OF Fairmont's
best pitchers but due to weak arm
has not pitched but one game since
he returned from the army
The umpire question is an import
ant one and President Clevet of the
City league, who appoints the Off
Gals, will be sure to have someone
in charge of the game who is per-
fectly competent for the important
job.

PLENTY OF pep IN
THE OWENS TEAM
Bottlemakers, Encouraged,
New Pitcher, Almost
Trimmed Watson.

one long lanky pitcher by the name
OF Poe about six feet and some inches
tail and who deceives his looks II he
tips the scales at more than 14O
pounds, made his appearance in the
City league yeste.eay evening and
with the Owens team playing alright
baseball behind him, almost gave the
strong Watson Building baseball team
trouncing. AS 1t was the Watson
ties were able to get a little the best
of the deal and won out by 3-2 score.
The dark horse twirler had an as
sortment Of something which was
surely hard to hit despite the fact that
he looked like country gink from
away back as he stood on the mound
and speeded them over the platter with
Ibis telescope delivery.
Added to his good pitching the
Owens team played the best OF base
bali behind him, several feature plays
being made. One of the most re-
markable catches which. probably
stands out as the best catch which has
been made at South Side park this sea-
son was running recovery of ball
off Shimmels bat in the fifth by
Moran, the little Owens outfielder. Al
the crack OF the bat the Owens player
was Off for the bah and managed to
reach It lust in time to complete the
catch. Not a player in the grand
stand believed the catch possible.
A. Bunner, the new Owens short
stop, played a fine game, making nu
merous catches which were real credit
for him. J. Bunner, the snappy minute
backstop. played an excellent game
and held his big pitcher up at al
stages OF the game.
The Watson team was not playing
below par. 1t was a case where they
were playing team which fought

FOOTBALL SPECIALS
TO RUN THIS YEAR
Mountaineers Will Take Ca.
Diet Corps to the Pitt
Came

MoRGANToWN, Aug. S.-Relief is
assured for this fall from at least one
of the many bans" placed on railroad
travel during the war, as both rail-
road companies operating lines be-
tween Morgantown and Pittsburgh
have agreed to operate special train
service between this city and Pitts
burgh on October 18th when the
'tMountaineer" football team meets
the University OF Pittsburgh eleven at
Forbes field.
During the war special train service
OF any kind was taboo and only recent
ly has the prohibition been lifted.
University athletic authorities have
applied for the operation of at least
one special train to accommodate eight
hundred persons. This train will be
run for the exclusive use OF the cadet
corps of tire university as 1t is esti-
mated that the membership of the
freshmen and sophomore classes will
reach this number. All members of
both these classes belong to the corps,
and will be taken by Major Mumma,
the commandant, in body to the
game. 1t is probable that another
special train will be needed to carry
university fans from this city as tho
greatest exodus that has ever taken
place for sporting event is assured
for the Pitt encounter.
A special train will likely be oper-
ated also for the Bethany contest at
Wheeling October 25th as this game is
expected 10 be interesting and Wheel
ing has been TO some extent apathetic
toward the university and slow to real
ize its Importance. 1t is thought that
II the cadet corps and band goes to the
Bethany game It will do much in the
way OF advertising as well as cheering
the team en- to victory.

Carolina to Play
Norwood Saturday

Carolina will go to Clarksburg to-
morrow evening to play Manager
Denham's fast Norwood park team
and a real live game is expected. Ida
may will play the same team at
ClarHsburg Sunday afternoon.
1t will be the first game that Car
DINA has played Norwood this sea-
son. Manager Hite of the Carolina
team will have his usual lineup into
the game, including Dugan on the
Mound and this sounds interesting to
say the least.
Captain Sackett of Norwood is sure
to have fast team into the game and
the Carolina boys will have to play
real baseball to come fome with a
victory

Mining Machinery
to Play B. 6 O. Team

If things work out as dope indi-
Gates, fans who go to South Side park
this evening to see the regular eve
ming game will witness good one.
The Mining Machinery and B. G. O.
teams are slated to>play baseball and
If they play like they did the last
time these two teams met real
game will result. The last time they
played the B. G o. won out by 10
score in one of the very r.est games
that has been played at tht park this
season.
Dawson will likely do the pitching
for the Mining Machinery and Captain
Boice will likely select Gilmore.
