 Their Waterloo.

Little Rock II, Pine Bluff 5
 Place Little Rock.
 The above is "news in brief" Of the game of baseball played in Lit tie Rock Tuesday. Although our boys went down in defeat, they put up an excellent game, and 1t wasn't the fault of the rooters who aceolr pauied them, for they certainly had their lungs in the best of shape and made good use of them.
 The Pine Bluff tossers were active and prompt in their work.
 Weedman and Brown were tbe batteries for Pine Bluff and Hale and Hutton for Little Rock.
 Browns pitching was not up to the standard and Campbell entered the box in the sixth inning. He pitched fine ball and kept the capital city boys within the bounds. The outfeld work of our team was most commendable.

If a man hoards his flour in famine
 times and charges exhorbitant prices to the starving people, he is a cruel miser. If a man who owned a boat were to refuse to permit it's use to rescue a shipwrecked crew unless he were paid for it he would be denounced as little else than a murderer. But when a combination of fnanciers takes advantage of a low supply of coal (which it has brought about by it's own evil machinations) to transform the sufferings of the poor into pro fits, it is-a Trust!
