Spoil Season.--Better
Games Expected.
FAIRvIEw.

FAIRvIEw, Aug. 3-Local
fans have been somewhat disap-
pointed in baseball games which
have been scheduled for Fairview
the past two weeks. Sunday, July
%, the Waynesburg team, which
should have met the Fairview
Club on its home grounds,
failed to- appear and the game
went to the locals by default. Last
Sunday, the Monongah Glass team
by a stroke of luck romped away
with 8 to L victory. Tuesday a
team representing the little town
of Brave i'll Pennsylvania was
forced TO return home without
playing the twilight game sche-
duled for the Jarvis grounds with
the Henderson, Nationals because
of heavy downpour OF rain. and
last night the game scheduled by
the Fairyiew A. c. could not be
played because of wet grounds.
The management announced,
days game promised to be the
best of the season. The Williams
Hardware Co. of Clarllsburg has
been supporting a team this sea-,
son that has been forcing all OPP
popents to take the small end9of
the scores. Coming fresh from
winning the city championship of
that city they will invade Fair
view to add it's scalp to the numer-
Gus ones carried. Manager Yost,
however, believes that with his
recently acquired material of
former high school players the
visitors Will meet their Waterloo.
Every effort is being made to
have his players in tip top condi-
ton for the struggle, and il is
safe to preulct that the contest
will be worth witnessing whatever
the final outcome.
Prayer Meetings.
All local churches conducted
their weekly prayer meetings in
their respective churches last
evening, and according to reports
much interest is being manifested
in these meetings and the att
tendance is growing weekly. Pre-
paration is being made to hold a
series of prayer meetings i'm
mediately before the opening of
the yearly union revival to insure
the best results during the evan
gelistic preaching.

noon at 1880 Sunday school will

Members of theichurch are pre-
pairing basket dinner for the oc-1
casion. and from former reports
of their ability in this line, it is
likely that the dinner itself will
