There VIII he a Funeral,

Some one tried 10 effect an entrance
into The Times office last night, but

another. And still others looked ask
ance at the big fellows from Jonesboro,
and despopdingly shook their heads.
Il was cinch, so they said or thought,
that Jonesboro was just going to eat
up all the base balls that come over
the plate.
Few spectators expected to see any
thing but defeat to the locals, and the
result was a happy surprise.
The score stood to in orof the
locals, with the last half of the oh TO

What do you think of that?'

The visitors went TO the bat and got
in couple of tallies before our boys
seemed to realize that they were play
ing baseball. but after that, except one
run, there was nothing TO il, until tie
9Th, when the visitors made scores.
In the meantime the locals scattered
an occasional run in among the geese
eggs, and sometimes put couple of
men across the plate so rapidly that
the visitors saw that they were up
against it, and became just little dis
couraged, and their errors were numer-
Gus.
McClain made a sensational score on
safe two Dagger by errors of the WISH
tors. His all-around playing, as usual,
was the feature of the game. He plays
any and everywhere, and is as good at
one place as any other. He is "A safe
batter, a fast runner, a very genius at
stealing bases, and rarely ever misses
or fumbles ball that comes within
reasonable distance.
Gillian and Simmons were in their
usual positons-short stop and second
base, respectiyely-and did fine work.
though both have errors charged
against them, due, perhaps, to lack OF
practice.
Folbre pitched fine game, and re-
ceived very good support. lie was
slightly hurt in the eth by being hit on
the knee with ball bile at the bat.
Folbre was allowed runner at one
stage of the game, and McClain being
sent, stole two bases and scored on Sim
mons hit.
The visitors are bunch of ball play
ers, and we could not say that any one
OF them excels the other, unless it might
be that the work of Yoke on third
base would give him the honor.
IuntoD, on first made several errors,
dropping two or three easy fair balls.
They are lot of clever, good natured
fellows, and the absence of any wrangs
ling is much to their credit.
Major Brady is improving in every
game as umpire, and his decisions are
quick, firm and very fair. They are
certainly impartial, and if there was
any errors, the visitors got the best Of
his decisions. Brady is all right.
Ashford has quit the Forrest City
team entirely, and there seems to be
gladness on both sides.

Mccain will probably pitch for the

truth. they have US scared that they
will.

It is pretty safe to say that ey- very home in Waterbury had at least one copy of the paper yesterday. It was a gigantic undertaking for the short time we had to do the work. complaints have thus far been heard of. Of course it was impossible to give every advertiser top of column next to reading matter or outside DO sitions, and for that reason some think their neighbor fared better than they did. The Democrat has endeay- one at least what they have paid for If there are any who think they haven't received their moneys worth, now is the time to make it known In the rush of the last few days some who expected and wanted to be in the paper were unintentionally left out. Such of those who have paid if any, will of course receive their money back. That the paper has been we'll received and that those who patroniz. ed its columns are satisfied is evi- 1enced by the number who have all ready spoken on the subject We de- sire to thank all who in any way as- sisted in making the issue the success that it really was

It will be something to see the Rus sians fight the Japanese. says a writer in Everybody's. It will be nearer demonstrating what happens when the irresistible force meets the immoyable object than anything that has occurred in long time. In the end weight may tell and Russia win, but it will be only after some desperate and spectacular fighting, in which it is by no means sure that the Russians will have all the advantage. Behind entrenchments there is not much choice between them
 In the open field the Japanese should be victorious, other things being equal, because of their astonishing mobility. They will go around the Russians very much as the cooper in the old adage went around his barrel. But after that, what? Admiration of the Japan ese is unavoidable for one who has sesn them in active service, but one who has seen the Russians will never for get the impression of mass they give. Contemplation of a struggle between the two always brings up picture of a small man trying to stop a great stone from rolling down hill by getting in front of it. He may check it at the start, but it gathers momentum as his strength wears out, and it will oyer throw him at last and crush him.
