Wesleyan to Play

Announcement was made early this
afternoon that the fast Wesleyan col
lege team from Buckhannon would be
the attraction at South Side park this
Saturday afternoon, meeting the local
American Legion team. These two
teams played a doubleheader at Buck
harmon last Saturday, each taking a
game. 1t Is likely that Burns, the To-
cal city league star, now at Wesleyan,
will pitch for the visitors. The game
should attract a large crowd.

Sport Chat

Rodgers, who umpired the game at
Morgantown. has sense Of humor.
While the Morgantown twirler was
winding up one inning with a local
man on second our hero made dash
for third. It looked very much as IL
he had made the base before the
pitcher delivered the ball to the bat,
ter, who sent up a high foul to the side
lines. Rodgers ordered the Fairmont
man back to SECOND. Coach Kahn en-,
tered mild protest. Says he to
Rodgers: THAT ,man had that base
Says Rodgers to Kahn without a
smile: perhaps he did but he is back
there now," and he pointed to second
station. The dispute was declared,
ended by mutual agreement. 4

coNNELLY AND MS CANDIDACY.

TH0fQdER REPRESENTATIVE WILLIAM NJ. CONNEiAY
is endeavoring TO jimmy his way back into the Dom
ocratc party in this city and State, from which he was
read because Of his intense and unnatural interest in
the election OF William G. Taylor, Republican, 70 the
Office q mayor OF Wilmington.
Conneny would like 10 for the Democratic noml-
nation for state senator from the Second Wilmington
District which embraces the territory south OF Eighth
street, and which now is represented by Thomas y.
Gornly. When he filed his certificate Of candidacy with
the Democratic City Committee Wednesday night It
with staggering rebuff After a long wrangle il
referred 10 a committee OF three. which will report
back Whether Connolly is really Democrat merely
Republican hepmeo posing a Democrat
What makes the situation all the interesting is
that some OF Conneys friends threatening TO run
him as independent Democratic candidate IL the Demo-
cratic City Committee bars his from the Demo-
cratic primary should ne resort to that extreme
pedient get with his foes the Democratic side
It may result in the Second District being represented by
a Republican for The nrst time since II created
In short the situation is which augurs well fos
Republican in that part OF city, because II
is noat all certain that II the fight develops the stat,
senatsrship It viii not extend to Democratic candidates
for oeler Offices.
