BASEBALL DOPE
Doinss of the Week in Baseball

Greenville lost the Memphis games
played with the Southern Leaguers in
that city last week. Our boys had no
practice to speak of at all, and the
result was not surprising. This week
Manager Rothermel has been practic-
ing the boys good and hard, and will
again meet the Memphis Southern
League team on the local diamond to-
day ard tomorrow, and great crowd
is expected to witness these games.
Manager Rothermel is confident
that he has winning team, and with
a fow changes in the line up, will
make good his former prophecies to
that effect. Third basemAn Flem-
ming has been released, Mr.. RotheI-
mel finding him not up to the stand
ard of players wanted IN his team.
Sidney Eckstone left on Monday for
jackson, Miss. where he is lined up
as pitcher for the club in that city in
the Delta League. He has what he
calls a "nixum ,hitimbus" curve, aud
his many friends here have wired the
opposing teams to get their lives in
red at once. Sidney finished with
Greenville last year, and is a good
player and rising one.

WARSHlPS
Nashville and Lawrence Pass
by the City Last Thurs
day

The United States gunboat Nash
Vile, in command of Commander
John Hubbard, U. s. N, accompanied
by the torpedo boat destroyer Law
renee, commanded by Lieutenant
Andre NJ. Proctor, U. 5. N, on their
way to take part in the st. Louis Ex-
position, passed by Greenville few
minutes after IL o'clock Thursday
morning. Their coming was heIalded
by the footing of the whistles of the
river craft and the whistles OF the
city. Great crowds thronged the
levee to see the water fighters and
to wave God speed to the boats.
The Nashville has been seen before
by our people, she having made pre-
vious trips to Memphis and st. Louis,
but the Lawrence, or vessel OF her
type has never been seen before off
Greenville, and this boat was the
center of all gaze With her long, low
black hull, four short black smoke
stacks, she made an interesting con-
trast to the white and towering Nash
Vile. The boats did not make a
landing but passed the city at slow
speed, almost stopping. at times to
give the people on the levee a good
view of them. 1t is expected that
the boats will arrive ct st. Louis in
about week, and the only day sdop
they will make will be at Memphis
for brief half hour. Capt. John
Good of the lighthouse service, serves

as pilot on the Nashville. while the
Lawrence has no pilot but follows in
the wake of the Nashville.
The Lawrence is of 400 tons dis
placement, carries crew of "A men,
and is said to be SO crowded with
machinery that but dozen visitors
can board her at time She is 24O
feet, 10 inches, long and her beam is
% feet, 3 inches Her mean draft is
6 feet l q inches Twin screws,
operated byfour engines, the horse
power OF which is 8, 400, propel the
Lawrence and her speed is 80 knots
an hour and her coal capacity is 1873
tons. The armament is composed of
seven six-pounders and four White
head torpedos. The vessel has prac-
tically 60 armor at all and her de-
fence lies in her speed and ability to
get away from hostile warships. A
shell striking this torbedo boat de-
stroyer would pass entirely tlroug h
her before exploding for her armor
plats could not offer resistance enough
to explode it.
The Nashville is of 1871 tons dis
placement and 9O7 tons. She is 900
feet long, 3S feet, l18inches in width,
and her mean draft is II feet. Her
indicated horsepower is 2,536, her
speed IS knots and her coal capacity
400 tons. She is propelled by two
screws.
1t is to be hoped that these boats
will stop here on their return trip.
Senator McLaurin has assured the
people Of Vicksburg that they will
stop at that city on their return, and
some such means should be taken tc
give our people an opportunity tC

EXCURSION
A Delightful Event to be Given
by the Baseball AssoCia-
ton tuesday Night

One of the delightful events pro-
missed for next week is the excursion
to be given by the Greenville Baseball
Association on next Tuesday night.
The handsome pleasure boat, -. S."
has been chartered for the occasion
and the trip will be one OF the few
that will be offered our people this
season. The excursions ON this boat
are always conducted with the great
est care and propriiety on the part OF
the boat officials themselves, and
when given under the arpsices of the
officers and managers OF the baseball
association of Greenville, none need
fear any conduct other than would be
expected right in their homes.
The boat has government permit
to carry thousands OF people, is
lighted by 1900 electric lights. has
one of the finest ballroom cabins
afioat, carries an exceptionally fine or
chestra, though small, harmless re-
freshments will be served. and taking
it all together, this excursion will
afford no end of pleasure to all who
may go The excursion will be given
for the benefit of the association and
no one should hold back from helping
such cause, and we are glad to add
that large number have signified
their intention to go.

INTERURBAN
Railroad is now Assured.
People are Interested
and Taking Stock

The blue print of the route of the
proposed electric line to Leland is now
displayed in the window of the Office
Of the Delta Electric Light, Power 81
Mann featuring Co., and is attracting
considerable attention and comment.
BY the proposed route the lima will
pass through some very fine farming
country, which in few years will be
divided into small farms and villages
and settled by colonies of Industrious
people whose attention will be turned
to trick farming stock raising, chicken
raising, and even manufacturing in
dust lies that will prove a great boon
to our county.
There is no doubt but that the line
will be constructed as the stock is
being taken as fast us it is offered
That it will prove paying invest
ment there can be no question, and MS
a city and country developer nothing
will equol it,
1t is very gratifying indeed to see
the wide awake and enterprising
people of Leland. the biggest little
city of its size in the State, extending
a welcoming and helping hand by the
taking Of shares OF stock and
pushing the work to secure the build
ing of the new line that will connect
their city with Greenville and the
Mississippi.

CAPT. JOSEPH J. POWERS
A Prominent Rivcrman of Vicks-
burg. Died Last Tuesday

Capt. Joesph j. Powers, OF Vicks-
burg, president of the Vicksburg &
Greenville Packet Co., died at his
home in that city last Tuesday affer
a long sickness. In speaking of his
life and character, the Vicksburg Her
aid says;
There was no more popular or bet
ter known man in any walk of life in
the city than Joseph J. Powers, who
had from early life made his home
here, and this knowledge and appre-
citation of him was not confined to the
circles in which he moved in bust
ness way, but to the citizens general
ly. He was liberal, progressive and
enteIprising, and kind hearted and
generous to fault, and to his enter
prise the beautiful Vicksburg steamer
Belle of the Bends floats today as
conspicuous example. as that craft
was the fruit of his own conception
and idea. While not a native of
Vicksburg, J. ]. Powers had lived
here so much of his life time that he
WIS looked upon as native. Born
in Memphis about 36 years ago he
spent only his earliest boyheod there,
being brought to vicksburg when a
mere lad. by his unoles, Charles and
June Mulholland. By them be was
educated Mt Notre Dame, Ind, from
which institution he went to New
Orleans, where he WAS employed for
while, afterwards coming here,
where his home has continued to be.
From the time that the Vioksburg
& Greenville Mail Company was or
ganized by the Mulhollands, as the
natural outarowth of the Mulholland
line, Capt. Powers had been identi-
fed with it IN various capacities
from bill clerk to president. When
Capt. ]. Mulholland died in 1896,
Capt Powers became manager for the
Greenville Packet Co, and when il
was reorganized he became president.
1t was his genius, pluck and enter
prise along with that of Capt. A. F.
Nimtz that built that company up to
its present high standing, and pro-
tuced the Belle of the Eends. When
