FANS
WANT SANE TINE
ASLAST SUMMER
Daylight Saving Program
Biggest Factor in Local
Baseball.

Baseball fans and players will be
iterested in the agitation in this city
for the adoption OF the daylight saw
ing program for the community dur
ing the coming summer. as the matter
vitality effects baseball interests in
the section. with the daylight saving
program In operation. it will be posi-
BILE to stage baseball games at $3.50
or 6:45 and have no difficulty in play
ing seven or even nine innings before
darkness would put an end to play.
Such condition would permit many,
who otherwise could not do SO, to wit
ness and participate in baseball games
during the summer months. With the
old time schedule In effect 1t would be
necessary to start games at FIVE or
$50 in order to have the contest com
pleted before 1t became too dark to
play. This is too early for many peo-
Pile to get to the games, as they are
not through work until $3.50 or six
o'clock in the evening, and by the
time they got home and to the ball
park the game would be half over or
more,
Many of the games at South Side
park last summer were not over until
$3.50 or later and yet 1t was light
enough to finish such contests, even
late in August and early in Septem-
Der.
Since so many communities have
decided TO stand by the time program
OF the last two years and since such
o1ncern as the Pennsylvania rail-
road has adopted the daylight saving
plan, It does not seem unreasonable
that such schedule could be carried
through here without any trouble.
While no action has been taken Of
/ ficially in regard to this matter by
the various leaders In the city league
baseball organization. it is reasonable
to believe that all will be in favor OF
the plan to preserve the daylight saw
ing program of the last two years for
this community in the interest OF
baseball and other outdoor sports,
which means so much to the health
and welfare of the citizens of this sec
ton.
And,you know, under outdoor sports
you can class many things you don't
find in IN athletic guide. Tor in
stance, the fellow who takes his sport
out in working a little garden after
the supper hour. He gets great
amount of good out OF this change
from office routine all day, and what
a great thing the daylight saving plan
Is for his little game with the hoe.

JUNIOR BASKET
BALLERS START
Some Interesting Games at
the Y. M. c. A. Satur
day Morning.

The Boys Department league
teams staged the second OF series of
games on the basket ball floor Satur-
day'morning in the Y. NJ. C. A. gym
nasium and every one of the specta-
tors as well as the players had a
thrilling time. The play started with
the Yellows and Blacks facing each
other for mortal combat. The first
half passed uneventful and .nded 90.
but in the second half the youthful
palyers frightened up and as a result
of a foul made by Clarence Moore.
Basil Hawkins was enabled to score
one point for his team by a free
throw. The game ended one to moth
ing for the Fellows.
The Blues and Whites then took
the stand and through the first half
the players seemed to be finding
themselves on the floor most of the
time, but with the exception of a few
fouls cvalled on various ones there
was nothing of note happened and
the first half ended nothing to moth
ing. Then in the last half James
Fawcett started things off with a
field goal. and then the players SEEM
ed to get their second wind and the
play started in earnest, Robert Good
win then tossed in free throw and
1t looked as though the Blues were
going to whitewash thei ropponents,
but ALT Raymond came to the rescue
of his team and threw in foul throw
and Junior Barr and Frank Reed fol-
lowed suit with free throw apiece,
and the second half ended three to
three. In the six minutes over it
took to play off the tie, there was
much exciting playing and Just be-
fore the gong sounded ALI Raymond
dropped in a free throw which won
the game TO rthe Whites by a score
of to 8.
The third game proved that the
Reds were superior to the Pinks, and
was won by Fay Squires who landed
a field goal at the last minute in the

ANOTHER BIG GAME
At NORMAL TONIGHT
Keyser Collegians Play the
Locals Tonight-yisi-
tors Fast.

There will Be another lively bas
ketball session at tho Normal schools
new gymnasium this evening, when
the Keyser Collegians, one of the
fastest organizations in the state, ac-
cording to their own press agent at
least, viii tackle Sandy Toothman'a
team. The visitors come fresh from a
victory on Saturday over D. G E.
while the Normal team will be out
for revenge for the initial defeat oil
the season, suffered at the hands OF
Wesleyan College Saturday night.
Sandy's men were through hard
struggle Saturday night and it is Just
possible that one or two of the Nor
NAL lads may be feeling little stiff
and sore today, but they will all be
in condition by this evening to be
out and do their best to get victory
over the visitors.
The game win start at s o'clock
and 1t is expected that large crowd
will be on hand for the contest. There
lis great interest In basketball in
this city and the local people appre.
ciate the efforts puts forth by the MOI
nal team in all games played to date
and take advantage of every oppor
tunity TO see the team in action.
Unless there is some reason to
make change, the Normal team will
likely lineup for the contest tiis
evening with the same players who
started the Wesleyan contest, while
the visitors lineup will be picked
from such men as Hoyt Gibson
Slocum, Montgomery, Shaffer and
"Spooks" Lyle, former Pittsburgh
Collegian star.

Some Local Sport Chatter

come ways his record is one Of, the
most remarkable in the history of the
game. No one can remember when
he was not recognized as one Of the
best coaches in the country, and year
after year he turns out teams which
are well-schooled in the fnndamen-
tails of the game, as well as possess
ing many innovations of attack and a
general stiffness OF play that is re-
variable. Warner Is always thinking
ahead of the present mode of attack,
and the present open game Is due in
no small way to his cleverness and
headwork. The Carlisle Indians
under his tutelage always had great
team, and Pitt came to the fore in
football as soon as Glenn assumed the
coaching position in that institution.
1t has been suggested that Billy
Sunday be made chairman of the Ma
tional Commission. Well, this would
make the meeting OF the great base
ball tribunal more interesting at last,
The athletic committee at Wash
ington & Lee has ratified the 1920
football schedule including game
with West Virginia at Charleston.

gantown who are holding up the

It is a wonder many Of the basket
ball players did not get pneumonia
or worse Saturday night. The gym"
was colder than all get-out and after
the boys had got all het up" during
the first half, they Sc. around in
the cold room for 10 minutes betwen
1he halves. But you can't hurt a
basketball player, oven IL you nut him
in an ice box without any clothes on.
President Roster of the Normal
made a neat little talk between the
halves in which he warned all those
who persisted in standing up and
shutting off the view of the game
from other people behind them that
they would have to go to the door and
get their money, If they persisted in
this stunt.
Several responses have been receiv-
ed from the invitations sent out for
the Monongahela Valley high school
basketball tournament, which will be
held here late next month. 1t prom
ises to be successful affair from
every standpoint.

Saturday evening was rather dis
astrous one for the basketball teams
OF Fairmont, the Normal going down
TO defeat before Wesleyan at the Nor
NAL gymnasium, while Coach Kahn's
high school tossers journeyed to
Clarksburg to take a beating at the
hands of the high school quintet of
that city. However we can't expect
our boys to win all the time-we must
have the bitter and the sweet in bas-
ketban the same as in all other lines,
and so long as we don't get all Bit
tiers and no sweets, We should not
complain.
There was great test Of the
craftsmanship of the local fans last
Saturday evening in the Wesleyan
Normal game, and they were not
found wanting. Faced by weather
conditions that made outside walking
very dangerous thing hundreds
made the trip to the Normal school
in the hope of seeing the Nopmal
team down Wesleyan and shook anu
shiyered for over an hour while the
home team was being trimmed. But
despite the fact that they had made
IA long trip in the cold and despite
the fact that the home team was be-
ing defeated, the fans never quit for
an instant. but kept plugging away
for the local boys until the battle
had been finished. That's the kind
Of support that puts the fighting
spirit into. the home players.
Mike Hamilton is getting to be
some snappy little basketball player.
He Just about worked himself to
death Saturday night. He and Jimmie
Knight had to carry practically the
full burden of the work for the Nor
NAL. Trust all the boys will be on
their toes for the contest tonight
with Keyser.
Jasper ColebanlS, of Grafton, handl-
ed the game Saturday night in good
style. 1t was not an easy game to
work by any means, but the Grafton
referee was right on the job all the
time.

NORMAL TEAM LOST
70 WESLEYAN FIVE
Local Played Hard All the
Way, But Fell Little
Short.

There are days when you know
when you Just can't save cent.
Such day was Saturday for the
Fairmont Normal team, or rather such
night was Saturday night, when
Sandy Toothman's men fell before
Wesleyan College 1922, while large
crowd of shivering spectators took
the disappointment with as good
grace as possible. The crowd was
with Fairmont from start to finish
and pulled hard for local victory
all the way, although soon after the
second half opened it was seen that
It0e Normal had small chance of cut
ting down the big lead secured by the
visitors early in the game.
1t would be unfair to Wesleyan to
say that they were lucky or anything
like that. They won because they out
played the locals and any team that
can do that is deserving of full credit
for such performance. The Wes-
leyan lads are little more expert
enced than several of the men on the
Normal team and had a little better
team work in operation Saturday
evening. Both teams did miserable
work when it came to shooting fouls,
team, because 1t was seen from the
start that the contest would be more
than ordinarily aggressive.
Ross one of the forwards for Yves
leyan, was the bright star for his
team and his splendid work in every
department of the game kept his five
out in front all the way. Some of his
shots were the prettiest seen here in
some time.
Knight and Mike Hamilton carried
the burden Of the work for the locals.
Knight playing one of the hardest
games we have ever seen him play
and little Mike Just about ran him.

Jack Coombs, in spite of his rather
poor showing as manager of the
Philadelphia teams, still believes
that he is capable OF delivering the
goods as coach of pitchers as is
evidenced in letter he wrote to
friend in Philadelphia recently which
contained the following:
Il have not heard from Detroit only
to have them send me my contract.
In my chat with Jennings l made all
arrangements about the southern
trip. am to- go south a couple OF

report to me at that time. That win

all over and hone TO help some of
them a little. As Hugh said | am to
have full charge of the battery men
and during the season l am the one
who will do the picking and the pull

business to be successful must have

department. l reckon | have been
able enough in my line to take charge
of the pitching and so am taking the
