A striking evidence of the solidity
of Blucfield's banking inatiutions is
the fact that the State Bank of Blue
field increased its surplus and capi
tal in the midst of a financial strin
gency from $50,000 to $94,000. The
Sta<tc Bank Is strong and conserva
tive. and showed its contempt for a
panic by increasing its facilities i:i
the face of a financial stringency
Bluefleld banks have stood the finan
cial storm without the least trouble
and have never thought of resorting
to scrip or clearing house certifi
cates.
• BROKEN PROMISES.
The Anti-Saloon League wants
the scalp of Governor Dawson for
the reason that he failed to include
in his call for an extra session ot
the legislature the question of local
option, and thereby broke faith,
having promised the leagu ■ that this
subject would certainly be embraced
in he call. But hasn't the league
gotten accustomed to machine rule
in West Virginia with its broken
promises?
In the language of the Hunting*
ton Advertiser “who expects Gov
ernor Dawson and the Republican
party in West Virginia, to carry out
pledges? Governor Dawson and his
party for four years have been
pledged to n primary law. None has
been adopted. Governor Dawson and
his party are pledged to a registra
tion law. in two legislative sessions
no real registration law has been en
acted; only a substitute that is worse
than a farce. Governor Dawson and
his party are pledged by a solemnly
adopted state platform to a railroad
commission. None has been cre
ated. and the governor, out of re
gard to political expediency doubt
les, neglects to include the railroad
commission in the long list of things
that may be considered in the spe
cial legislative session.
“The record of Governor Dawson
and the party that he controls is a
record of broken promises. So what
right has Mr. Alvord to complain
that just one other little promise
lias been fractured?"

Charleston. W. Va.. Jan. 18.—
A large number of the Norfolk and
Western coal field operators were in
the city hoi ling a lengthy confer
ence. but all are very reticent about
giving out any information of the
purpose of the meeting. It is un
derstood, however, that the princi
pal question was relative to the re
sumption of operations in that terri
tory. but from what little could be
learned no definite date was arrived
at. The money question seemed to
be the real trouble at present. The
banks have not shown a disposition
to let loose of the money stored in
their vaults.

TO LEAD PE N NEXT YEAR
j&arj:E7Wzzr
William Hollenbach, full back of the University of Pennsylvania foot
ball team, has been elected captain of the eleven for next season.
Hollenbach has become a great player under conditions that would have dis
couraged most players. Two ye?rs ago, during the preliminary practice,
he broke his leg, and this year he sustained a broken nose in the Brown
game and played tne entire season with two broken fingers.
BOWLING MAY TAKE PI ACE
OF BASEBALL IN WINTER
Introduction cf Professional Leagues
Considered by Far Seeing Magnates
—Twlrlers Make Good Bowlers.
Far-seeing baseball magnates are
beginning to realize the possibilities
of the ten-pin game as a popular form
of Indoor sport, w'lh the result that
It may be only a quest Ion of a few
years when bowling leagues will. In a
measure, take the place of baseball
during the wlnt* r season. Il Is a fact
thut ball playoii* make the best bowl
ers, and the pitchers arc remarkably
expert with the small halls in the
duck-pin game.
Garry Hermann, president of the Na
tional Baseball commission, and also
of the American Bowling congress, the
western controlling organization In
the ten pin game. Is very enthusiastic
over the possibilities of making the
indoor sport more popular by the In
troduction of professional leagues. In
this matter he has had several con
ferences with C’apt. Adrian C. Anson
of Chicago, who made an effort to es
tablish such a league two years ago,
but failed because of the lateness of
the season.
In the east the Eastern and Inter
state leagues, organized two years ago,
have been a great success Eight or
ten cities have placed teams In these
leagues, with the result that at ench
series of games the attendance indi
cated their popularity. In the East
ern the series consists of games be
tween Individual two, three and five
men teams, while In the Interstate
only five-men teams are competitors.
There is no reason why such a sys
tem could not he successfully ex
tended to include eight or ten of the
largest cities of America.
The result of Herrmann’s success
has attracted attention from other
magnates, and particularly those of
the east. Barney Dreyfuss of Pitts
burg has lately taken a great inter
est In howling. He has personally as
sisted In organizing teams in Pitts
burg. and says the Smoky City will he
more largely represented In the Cin
cinnati tournament than the home city,
Jictdentally Dreyfuss is a candidate
for next president of the A. B. C.f
and Pittsburg wants the 1908 tourna
ment. Votes were counted by tour
nament representation In (he A. B. C..
and that’s why Pittsburg will send so
many teams to Cincinnati.
Dreyfuss' energy has also excited
the attention of Chicago bowlers, and
Charles Comlskey, president of the
White Sox. Is being quietly groomed
for next president of the A. B. C.
with Chicago as the tournament city
In 1908.
It is a merry fight, with New York
bowlers looking on and wondering If
the time is not at band when Harry
Pulliam, Frank Farrell, John T Brush
or Charley Ebbots cannot be bought
Into the game.

COACH YOST REFUSES
TO BOW TO THE EAST
Claims West Labors Under Handicap
on Account of Eligibility and
Training Rules.
When asked recently about his opin
ion of relative merits of the football,
from a general intersectional stand
point. Coach Yost said:
’'.Minnesota and Chicago got just
what we got at the hands of the east,
and it simply goes to show what I
have always contended, when working
under the revised western conference
rules. Tuke two horses, equally
matched,* put one through a good pre
liminary training, and keep the other
In tho barn until shortly before tho
race. Then hitch the first to a lum
ber wagon and the other to a sulky,
and which will win out?
"View It from another angle. Let
the east not start a foot, or try on
football togs until the day college
opens, and lot the west have the same
free rein that the east enjoys In
making a schedule of unlimited games,
while the east would he restricted to
five or seven games. I think Minne
sota, Chicago and Michigan could
clean up on any three teams In the
oast for a Apish of the season.
"The west has been blindfolded and
hoppled and told to try and outfoot
a swift runner. The west has done
credit to Itself under the handicaps.
"Why, when Michigan played the
Carlisle Indians In 1901, who were
coached by the same man they have
now, and Michigan had pro-season
training, a training table, and a log
lean schedule, our team beat the In
dians 22 to 0 In two short 20 minute
halves. And that Carlisle team of six
years ago had Just as good material
as Warner has this year.
"And In tho east the freshmen are
allowed In make a complete schedule
with other college freshmen, and get
the advantage of a full year’s work
that Is denied them here.
"If is more than a man can gel
Into Ills sophomore and junior years In
tho west.
"Even with all these handicaps, 1
say that we tied Pennsylvania this
year, and It mathematically shows
I hat the touchdown by Magoffin should
have been allowed
"I am from an eastern college my
self. but they have not shown tho
west anything yet that would convince
me that under exact conditions on the
start and through the season they
have hung anything Into tho wild and
woolly wesl.”
