SPORT
A. AS SHUT OUT
Boston National League Did Not Allow
Locals a Loolein.


That Boston National League took
the game at south Side Park yester-
day was due to the inability OF the To-
Gals to hit Malarkcy safely and bunch
of errors.
1t was not until the NTH inning that
a man crossed the plate. Carney had
reached first when Faulkner pitched
one that struck the plate and striking
Bartons glove on the end bounced up
on the sun shade and over the grand
stand. Before running Carney asked
Umpire smith what he should do and
was told to go on. He trotted around
and scored before the BAH was reeov-
cred. This caused a kick the home
team claiming that the rule pertaining
70 the ball going into the bleechers
only calling for two bases shoutd have
been enforced. but Umpire Smith re-
fused to allow IL. This caused the To-
calls to lose heart. After that the
ieaguers scored five more runs during
the remaining innings Of the game
Faulkner pitched a great game up TO
the unfortunate inning. He had al
lowed but one hit up 60 that juncture,
hut afterward seven more We're col
lected. lie struck out five men. Ma
larkey was only touched up for four
hits. but only succeeded in causing one
local man 10 fan. Honest John" Hum
NELL was there with his .itte club yes
terday, and two OF the four hits made
were secured by him. one called for
three sacks In the seventh. but he died
al third.
Harry Aubrey. who played third base
for the A. AS last season, was at
short FOR the league team and played
a faultless game. He was given a great
ovation when he came up TO the plate.

eye some boys who are going down,
down, lower and lower every day.
They have no one to teach them, for
we have no reformatory and our
missionaries are abroad. They have
no work to do because they have no
job. They cannot get job because
every time they see one coming they
hide. 1t is not their nature to work.
1t is their nature 70 lie, to steal, to
smoke cigarettes and drink blind tiger
whiskey and sing I'm nobody's dar-
ling, nobody cares for me.
If there is a state in the union that
needs reformatory for boys it is
Mississippi. Were it not for the
fact that our judges and juries have
been lenient and had so much COM
passion for Young humanity the con-
Wet farms of the state would be
stocked with boys. And the evil
grows worse as the consumption of
cigarettes increases.
Women will run around over the
country and hold their ladies aid Sc
ciety meetings and their Sunday
School conventions and thier prohibi
tion mass meetings and one will ask
for her hubby and some other
woman's hubby not TO drink intoxi-
cants, oblivion Of the fact seemingly
that this work should have been done
when hubby was a boy walking the
streets smoking cigarettes during the
day with his eye skinned for a con-
venient place to sleep during the
night.
We raise monuments 70 our dead
chieftains and allow our live boys TO
become convicts. We buy a home for
our confederate veterans, all of
whom have homes and will not give
them up, and yet let the boys of
these veterans go down to degradation
because they have no home to go to-
no reformatory where they could be
nursed back to manhood.
Let the noble women Of the state
take up this subject and hammer on
it until some good comes of it. We
feel sure the press Of the state would
gladly lend its influence.

PUBLIC UTILITIES.

1t is understood that the mayor and
board of aldermen, between growls
and grunts, are seriously considering
the matter of the city putting in an
electric light plant to be owned by
the city and do its own lighting.
There 10 no reason why this should
not be done. If the city can save
money by having its own waterworks
it can save money by putting in an
electric light plant and lighting the
city. If it cannot II certainly does not
expect a private concern TO furnish
lights at loss. If a private con-
Germ can furnish lights at certain
price the city certainly can furnish
the same service as cheaply and 1t
should cheaper If man had a hun
dred bushels of corn to grind every
day for 800 days it certainly would be
cheaper for him to establish mill
and do his own grinding than it
would to have it done. Public utili
ties should, however practical, be
adopted by every city, and if it is
cheaper for Hattiesbuurg to furnish
its own water it is cheaper for it TO
furnish its own lights.
