It Is said the trouble grew out of a guying match started in a friendly man ner between two of the players and that OBrien got the worst of it. As a result he has swelled up and, like a little boy who needs spanking, refuses to play. Jimmy should act man and quit such foolishness.
 To attempt an explanation of yester- days struggle would be foolish, and the figures best tell the story Little Rock got the biggest bunch of hits on record in the Southern league and made the fewest number of runs off so many hits ever heard of in the history of basebal On one occasion they got three hits with out a run and on another only succeeded in scratching in two runs off of total of five clean raps.

WILL RESIGN FROM
BERGER STOCK COMPANY

Members of the Lafayette clientele
who have enrolled Eugene Ormonde and
Selene Johnson on their list OF stage ia
vorites will regret to learn that both
players are to sever their connection
with the Berger stock company at the
conclusion Of the present week.
Although both were engaged for the
entire summer season. it is not unusual
that such changes should occur at any
time, and though Miss Johnson and Mr.
Ormonde have a generous following
among the patrons OF the stock com
pany, 1t was announced last night that
their designations would take effect
within few days The plans of neither
player are known, but 1t is probable that
they will shortly become members of
other stock organizations.

UNEXPECTED DELAY
IN M'KAY WILL CASE

An unexpected delay in the proceed
ings relative 10 the settlement OF the
estate of the late Col. Nathaniel Mckay
has been caused by the refusal of one OF
the witnesses to his will to verify his
signature. The Will of Colonel Mckay
was offered for probate some time ago.
II was expected then by counsel repre-
senting the different interests in the
estate that litigation concerning a di-
vision OF the property would go along
in the way usual in such contests. The
refusal of one OF the witnesses to the
will OF Colonel Mckay TO make an at
testation to his own signature brought
the proceedings TO a sudden stop, or,
rather, prevented them from beginning.
One OF the attorneys interested in the
litigation said today it Is not probable
that the refusal Of the witness to attest
his signature is apt to delay the pro-
ceedings for any great length of time
He said the other two witnesses TO the
Will will be asked besides attesting
their own signatures, also to make oath
as TO the fact that the other witness
did sign the will in their presence.
1t is now expected the contest will
be gotten in shape for trial before the
summer recess OF the District Supreme
Court begins

ALL IMPURE FOREIGN

European Manufacturers Must Send
Only Real Article.

Assistant Secretary of Agriculture
Moore has requested the Secretary Of
State to obtain from the United States
consul at Mayence the details Of the
trial of DR.. Schlamp Won Hope Or.
Won Hope was tried on the charge OF
selling adulterated Nieistiner wines, and
in the course of the trial urged that ne
was not practicing a fraud. as all of
the Nieistiner wines are adulterated.
ord that no pretence is made OF selling
the pure article. This was denied by
other experts, but the confidence in the
vine was greatly shaken.
Mr.. Moore is anxious for the informa-
ton. as IT bears out the contention of
the Agricultural Department that for
eieners are sending thousands of dol
lars worth of wine to this country
which could not be sold in the country
OF manufacture without risk of prose-
cution. Under law passed at the last
ses sion of Congress the department can
after July 1. prevent the Importation of
adulterated or impure foods. liquids, and
drugs American wine merchants will
benefit by the law, and they are asking
the department to certify that their
products are pure
Letters will be sent to the United
States consuls asking them TO warn
foreign manufacturers that impure
goods will not be admitted 1t is
thought that this warning will have the
effect of causing pure goods to be sub
stituted for those now being sent here.

Indignation Meeting Raises Funds
to Garry Case Into Courts.

An organization OF automobilists

bilist Association was formed last night
by more than fifty Washington enthu-
siasts who propose to fight the new au-
tomobile regulations. even 10 the Su-
preme Court. fund of nearly $500 was
subscribed 10 carry on the fight and a
committee appointed TO retain attor-
neys.
The meeting was held at the home of
Dr. William B. French. 500 East Capitol
Street The speeches OF the evening
were directed especially against Judge
Kimball who had replied TO question
regarding the severity OF the fine for
breaking the regulations, that he would
impose the limit of the fine even II it
were $50.
The sense of the meeting was that the
regulation permitting policemen TO stop
all automobiles and demand 10 see
the licenses would expose the wives and
daughters OF the automobllists to an
royance and inpertinence.

safe the life and limb of all citizens. and

spurred on by the frantic yells of the
hundreds OF pretty girls literally wrap

Capt. L. F. Scudder, of Central High
School. marched proudly upon the sward
at the American League Park promptly
IT o'clock yesterday afternoon. and the
sixteenth annual competitive drill for
the Allison Nailor diamond medal. and
the more coveted prize flag for excel
lenee in drilling, was begun.
1t was one of the largest and most
enthusiastic assgmblages that has ever
attended the first days drill.
The companies taking part in the drill
were B. of Central: Company D, under

by Capt G. H. Huddleson. of Technical.
Early in Arriving.
Although the drill was not scheduled
to begin until O'Clock. long before that
hour the grandstand was crowded This
gates leading TO it were closed about
half an hour before Captain Scudder
marched his company on the field.
Centrafs rooters were in the majority,
although the hoarse- voiced sons of Tech
were in evidence. When Captain Scud-
der and his cohorts made their appear

and yelled:

at the start, but the program contained
sixty-fve intricate numbers. Captain
Scudder was trifie nervous, and fire.
quently started to give the wrong COM
mand, and had to steady his men to pre-
vent them from executing the maneu-
vers.
To the average spectator without
technical knowledge of military man
uals and maneuvers, Company B did
well. The chief fault was the omission
by Captain Scudder of several OF the
numbers on the card. His company also
Jagged a trifle in the center, and the
manual was not executed up TO the
standard.
The firing of the company was a trife
irregular. but firing. fortunately for
Company B, is not of paramount impor-
lance in the competition, although ii
speaks better for company TO fire to-
gether
Al the conclusion of the regular num-
bers Captain Scudder put his company
through the extra numbers which he had
drawn After reporting to the judges.
Company was marched off the field.
and Captain scudder was presented with
large bunch of pink roses.
