often asked and answered if the town
would ever take ON life again; would the
shut-downs be permanent.

FieIded in Nine Games
PITCHERS DOING WELL
Team Weak at the Bat and in Base
Running, While Errors Have
Resulted in the Loss of
Three Games.
PITCHERS DOING WELL

The Barons have lost five games, won
four games and tied the tenth game on
this trip. Nashville took two OF the three
from the Barons but Little Rock drop
ped three straight TO the Slagpile Giants
and then on top of that Shreveport look
three straights and the fourth was tied.
Not including yesterdays game, the
Barons have batted only .194, which VIII
not win a majority OF the games either
at home or on the road in the Southern
league. The fielding of the team has
also been below the average, anc errors
were responsible for the loss of the three
Shreveport games.
On the road the team has shown itself
weak on the bags. Few stolen bases are
credited to the Barons and at other times
the base running has been nothing short
of dumb. The team has showed little in
side playing.
Failed to Hit.
With one or two exceptions the team
has failed to hit when hit would have
won the game. In each of s-.e Shreve-
port games a hit would have resulted III
one or more runs, and probably the
game. In Saturdays game the Barons
had three men on bases and no one out.
and were unable TO push a man across
the plate.
Below are given the batting and field
ing averages oil the team Wnlle on TINS
trip. exclusive of yesterdays game, and
also a comparative table showing the
number of times at bat, runs and hits Of
the Barons and their opponents in each of
the games.
The team goes to New Orleans today
for a series of three games, and judging
from the recent playing of the two teams,
New Orleans will take two of the three
at least.
Work of Pitchers.
The Baron pitchers have pit eked great
ball in the three games with Little
Rock and the first three with Shreve-
port. If they continue the good work, and
the Barons will show some improvement
in batting and b,.se running the team
has good chance to leave the Crescent
City with a percentage of 800 on games
for the trip.
The Barons nave only 1t 1874 on this

ROME, july 1.-THE heat is growing

Railroads Refuse Passes.

CHICAGO, July 5.-Scores Of cor.
gressmen and several United States
senators who have enjoyed the hos.
pitality of railroads for so long q
time that they have ccme to believe it
to be their inherited right, will have to
pay fare on their summer vacation
trips this year. The most prominent
eastern railroads have refused all re-
quests for free transportation which
have come from senators and con.
gressmen who were either in favor of
the Esch-Townsend bill or were luke.
warm in their advocacy of the rail-
road side Of legislation. In conse.
quence there is CONSERVATION in the
ranks of United States Legislators.
There is no installing the reason
for the turning down which members
of congress are receiving. To every
request that comes from Legislators
who have been placed on the blacklist
a stereotyped letter is sent. The let.
ter says that for years the railroads
submitted without q murmur to a petty
system of blackmail levied by legisla-
tors who had no claim to free rides.
This was done on the theory that when
the time came the railroads would
have friends who would at least give
the railroad side of legislation care.

Deadly Texas Tornado.

northeast and swinging far to the
southeast this afternoon, caused the
loss, 1t Is believed, of 40 lives, in.
jured a large number OF people, and
did untold damage to growing crops
and cattle.
Fortunately the tornado missed the
small towns in the section through
which it passed, but it zigzagged in
such a way as to take in the homes Of
many farmers and stock raisers in the
section. At Montague no lives were
lost in the town, but in the country
great loss Of life is reported. The
wires are down in all directions and
it is difficult to get particulars. Ten
persons are known to be dead in the
neighborhood Of Montague. Most of
those killed lived on Salt creek, along
