reason why the coming OF winter should mean a thing to
you, But suppose your roof is in a bad state of repair.
This will spoil the entire setting. You will be deprived Of

IS not right. Again we ask how Is your roof?
q If your roof is not right, now is the time to have it at

SIX TEAMS FOR THE.
BASKETBALL LEAGUE
Plans for the New Organi-
cation Meeting With
General Approval.

The announcement in The West vir-
glnian several days ago that Physical
Director Clevett of the local Y. M. G.
A. was planning to organize City
basketball league for this winter some
what similar to the City baseball
league, has startet the various indus
tries of the city to take census of their
basketball players and already ak dit-
ferent teams have expressed their in
tentions of entering the league.
The teams which desire to enter the
league are from the Mining Machinery
Monongah Glass, B. & o., Watson
Building, Wholesalers and West Vir-
ginian.
The Mining Machinery has quite a
bit of basketball material as does the
Watson building and it is believed that
an unusually fast team can be select
ed from the seven hundred or more
employees at the Monongah Glass. sac
B. & o. has a large pay roll and thai
company should also be able to put a
fast team into the league.
The plans for the league seem TO be
meeting with general approval. y
meeting of representatives Of the yari-
Gus teams will be called following The
ending Of the baseball league and IN
effort will be made to play the "pen-
ing game some time during November

Sport Chatter
BY The onlOoker.

Old timers galore will participate
In the Consumer Grafton game al
South Side park this afternoon.
Last time the Consumer team let
Grafton play their bench warmer
Gibbin, and the old man won the
game for Grafton.
Joe Phillips, Roy Keener, Kendall
and his other team mates will bring
memories of the "once upon a time"
when Fairmont was playing league
baseball.
Gee, but the West virginian was
kind to the Monongah Glass last
night. Just think how much a de.
defeat would have hurt Terry and
Grant, not mentioning @Ira."
Ira was not On the field last night.
Grant produced his usual good smile
with a little worried expression
around the edges and Terry" was
SC worried that he could not sit still.
Burns who causes much applaud
when he comes to the bat, laid the
stick last highland the umpire didn't
do it either.

At Montfatscon

TO the Editor of The Tribune
SIR: Relative to the controversy startN
by Brigadier General Butt concerning The
artillery support at Montfaucon, it NIGH
be of interest to know in this connection
that confidential report by members o.
the staff of the Chief of Artillery, A. Z. f.
published in Information Bulletin No. IT,
and issued from the c. II. q, 4. f. f.; Is
October. 1918, admits that Montfaucon vss
undisturbed by heavy artillery fire during
the attack and, so far as was known, was
captured hy the Americans without ths
assistance Of the army artillery groupns
In this sector. This was due 10 the lsls
that no liaison existed directly between TIE
grouping and the infantry, with the resn'
that Montfaucon was reported TO them a.
beng in our hands at least thirty hoas
before it was actually taken. 1t is fuf.ns'
admitted that the woods northwest Of Moa'
iaucon, although strongly held By the '''F
mans, were not sheledl by ,hc 4sra:
lcry from noon of the first dar lI..l -
neon Of the second because they var" 'f
iovcd to have been held by our MAX f..'
So much for the army ariillery, whi1'
consisted of the heavier euf.5 -nd how~'
ers. Concerning the divisional srtliier
which consists of the lighter artillery,
apparent that this was the only ar'iisn
used to reduce the concrete machine 'sD'
emplacements OF Montfaucoa, although
IS further stated the unsatisfactory ar'n-
milton supply TO these guns delayed 'a'

Flom the above it seems that BrigalT'
