ning out with a 3-1 score. In every
sense of the word the game was a
heartbrcaker, in that the /Consolidation
'team touched Johnson, the Clarksburg
twirler up for a total of eleven bits,
among which was a home run by beverage,
while Trader, who was on the
mound for the visiting team let the
Clarksburg aggregation down on four
blngles. Errors at critical moments
.was the cause of the defeat.
Since this defeat the Consolidation
team has been longing to get another
crack at their neighbors on the Traction
Park diamond, but because of the
outbreak of poliomyelitis this has been
made Impossible.
With Trader on the mound, the same
twirler that held the up-the-river boys
to four hits, and with blood in their
eyes the Consolidation will go to
Clarksburg confident that they will
have little rouble in taking the best end
of the score.

fOll TO-DAY
Biff Presentation to This Paper's
Readers of Thrill
ing Volume.
Today marks the opening of the
West Virginian's grand distribution of
the leading account, in book form, of
the war from the Btart up to America's
entry into it.
It deals only with the cold facts,
bringiug out the great underlying
causes of the struggle in Europe.
The Nations at War is replete with
actual photographs of the monarchs
and their advisers, cities invaded, great
battles with their strategies, tragedies
and comedies, maps and charts marking
tho localities; monuments of past
victorious armies and side lights and
local color cn the civilian non-combatants.
as well as a hundred and one other
details of interest and importance, j
These pictures in color and halftone
are a realistic story in themselves, recording
as they do each event in regular
order.
An Interesting map gives a comprehensive
idea of the racial distribution
in the Austra-Huugariau monarchy,
the sections occupied by the Germans,
Austrians, Hungarians, Magyars and
other subjects of the empire, and also
maps showing the Teutonic dreams of
a pun-Cermanic empire as well us the
Russians' aspirations to domain.
Splendid pictures of the Zeppelins,
aeroplanes, submarines, siege guns and
otliei devices representing the highest
achievement of scientific progress in
the art of military destruction, as
shown in this wonderful book represent
the labor and ofltimes the risk of
life by the artists who procured them,
and they will be accounted accurate
and priceless by all who secure the
hook.
The text by Willis J. Abbot, today
recognized as one of tho highest an
thui'ities and an author of renown, is
bandied in a masterly manner, as evidenced
by his famous books, "Panama
and the Canal," "Story of Our Army.'
"The Story of Our Navy," and other
valuable works which occupy the
shelves of our foremost scholars. The
story Is a narration of facts with never
a variation from the straight line of
veracity.
The West Virginian urges Its readers
to take advantage of the presentation
offer which Is open today. Read
the Cash Discount Voucher printed
elsewhere in this newspaper and learn
how you may obtain a big discount
from the regular $3 price for a limited
period.
Maybe it's a little early to predict,
but bow about a guess that the batteries
for the first gome will be Schupp
and Rariden; Cicotte and Schalk.
