BASEBALL.
The Best Game Of the Season at the Park
Last Evening.

The best game of ball of the season
was played at the park last evening
between the Gracey. Woodwards and
the Queen Citys. The game was
closely contested, and some excellent
playing was done. AT the end OF
the fourth inning the score showed q
couple Of runs each. In the sixth In.
ming the Queen Citys succeeded in
putting a man around the diamond,
giving them one score the advantage,
The Gracey-W oodwards, however,
soon caught up and forged ahead,
BY punching hits in the eighth in
ming they ran their score up to seven,
and in the same inning the Queen
Citys made run. No run was made
in the ninth, leaving the game to the
Gracey- Woodwards in score of 7 to 4.
There was some excellent playing
done and the general verdict among
the spectators was that the Queen
Citys could beat their opponents
fielding, but the Gracey- Woodwards
are superior at the bat. Some bril-
liant plays were made by. both sides
and enthusiasm ran high among the
spectators.
w. B. Anderson kes ba @ ball as
well as any man in the city, and he
wants a game between the Gracey-
Woodwards and the Springfield club.
springfield has bourne the distinction
for several years past of having the
best amatuer club in the CIarksville
Tobacco District, and il game could
be arranged between their club and
one picked from the two mines here,
it would be a good one.
Ed. Kleeman played left field for
the Gracey- Woodwards yesterday
and did good wmk. He is the best
base runner seen on the diamond this
season, and he never misses a fly.
The Queen Cltys have terror in
their new pitcher. If they had u
catcher who could hold him they
would have battery second to none.
Chas. Cooke caught him last even
ing, but it was evident that he was
too light for him.
The Springfield and Guthrie base
ball teams cross bats at the latter
place this afternoon. Quite a mum
ber of the Queen Citys and Gracey
Woodwards, as well as other admir-
ers of the sport, have gene out from
here to witness the game.
The much talked Of game of base
ball between the buyers and the
warehousemen of the tobacco trade
will positively be played next Mon
day at the grounds on Second street
Both teams have been practlcine
hard and no doubt the game will bt
very interesting. The list of players
will be published in an early issue.

MANY LETTERS
Read in the Alice Mitchell Trial
at Memphis.
Lille johnson Put on the Witness Stand
and Breaks Completely Down
Carried From the Room.

The proceedings in the Alice
Mitchell trial at Memphis yesterday
is told as follows by special to the
Banner:
"In the biitchell case Robert
Mitchell resumed the stand this
morning. He continued the reading
of letters to Alice from her victim.
The last letter was written only
week before the tragedy while Freda
was on her last visit to Memphis and
while under the interdiction of her
friends from communicating with
Alice. This showed Freda to be as
much devoted to Alice as ever. She
assured her of her undying love and
said she hated her brother-in-law,
Will Valkin, like poison for coming
between them. Memoranda found
in her possession indicated that she
was seeking employment according
to her plan of supporting Freda after
their marriage. There were copies
of the advertisements for agents by
True q Co., Augusta, Me-, and Others
of like character. The witness testi-
fed that he thought his sister did not
realize her deed, or that Freda was
dead, as she always spoke of her in
the third person.
"Then the witness was turned over
to the States Attorney for cross-ex-
animation. He identified number
of letters as in his sisters handwrit-
ing. One of these was written to
Freda on hearing that she was in love
with young man named Ashley
Rozell. 1t was full OF passionate
jealousy. "Oh, if could only see
you, if ! could only see you,"
she wrote, and then reproaching her
for being unfaithful she solemnly as
sured her that she would kill Ash.
ley before he should have Freda.
She had gore so far as to price pistols
the day before, she said, and was de-
tered only because those she saw
were too large, and the price, $l2, was
more than she could afford. She
stated over and over that she was
mad with jealousy, pleaded with
Freda to be true to her and ended
with expressions of undying love.
ga number of such love-sick letters
were read from both girls TO each
other, and one of value to the State
written two days before the killing,
showed some temper on Alice's part,
as she told Freda if she wrote again
she would send the letter to her sis
! ter; said she had heard lot of scan
dial and wanted to hear no more of it.
Then in contraveution of the States
theory that Alice had no use for men
a number of letters were read, writ
ten by her to an unknown male cor
respondent at Erbon, Tex, and Pitts
burg, Pa. These correspondents she
and her associates had obtained by
answering advertisements. They
were of the usual type, some of them
of very afiectit nate nature, and adj
dressed Sweetheart and Dear Bird.

The present question is not at all
whether these wages are all that the
mel fought to have but whether it
can be said that they are''starvation
wages, 80 that men who resist the
enforcement of such a scale can be
said to be justified in violence and
in the killing of other men against
the suffering implied in a wagc scale
the lowest rate for the commonest
kind of unskilled labor Is sl.S per
day, while skilled labor receives up
to 1915. Nor Is this the whole
truth. 1t appears that under the
new scale the wages of the worst
paid employe would be actually ad-
vanced while the cut would fall up
on men who had formerly earned as
high as SIS per day, Under this
scale the sweeper who cleans
up cinders could not earn less than
sl.SG, a day and might earn s2.14
Under the old scale he could not
earn less than 81 80, aud might
earn 81 ~. lie therefore is actual
ly benefited. The best paid men
would not have received less than
IS 20, and might have earned as
high as 50 As Oh the schedule
which the rejected, while former
ly they earned, aswe have said,
once before sometimes as high as
SIS per dag. Nobody wishes to
enter into a discussion upon the
absolute sufficiency of these wages. |
But, relatively, they are certainly
much higher than are paid in
any other country in the world for
the same service; higher than the
average of school teachers receive;
higher, for the best paid grades of

1t has been a common assumption
of those who wished to excuse, as
far as they dare, the course of the
| strikers at Homestead, that these
men were striking against ~"starv-
alton wages" Their little homes
and the support of their families
were said to be the stake for which
they played this desperate game;
and the sympathy of the world was
invoked in their behalf as against
the men who were trying to reduce
their meager p%lttanc, to a figure
actually insufficient to sustain life.
This sort of argument will be
heard wherever the Carnegie troub-
lie is under discussion. We are not
prepared to say even with the figur-
es before us whether the wages
earned by these men were all that
they should receive or not. We do
not know how far they were justified
But we do know because there is
official evidence on both points first
that the strikers were in RECEIPT of
wages much above the average
earnings of the people of this couu
try; and and second that at the new
scale The poorest paid among them
could command good living in
come. These facts do not decide the
question of right and wrong at issue
between employer aud men; they do
decide that this Tux ab)ut ''st,ir-
walton wages" is due either to igno-
rance or to willfull misrepresenta-
ton.

of facts are reliable. The following
table shows the daily earnings of
the Carenage workmen under the
scale proposed by the management
and rejected by the men. The rates
given are for a working day of eight
hours, and they are those which
would have been paid if the en-
ployes had accepted the new scale.
