The Wichita Eagle lets go of this
clever little baseball story:
when I was with Ted Sullivan s
Texas Steers down in Dallas seven or
eight years ago we went over to the
little town of Peru one day to play a
game" said player the other day.
1.-The Peru clubs grounds were fear
fully and wonderfully laid out, but the
most fearful and wonderful thing about
them was the fact that right field was
forty or fifty feet below the rest of the
park and that the right fielder was al
ways out of sight. About thirty feet
back of second base the ground sud
denly fell away like the cliffs of the
sea, and down at the bottom of the de-
clivity stood the right fielder. None of
the other players and no one in the
stands could see him.
well, in this game-w11ich we ought
to have won easily-we had hard work
keeping alongside the Peru boys. Every
time one Of US hit to right field the ball
came back in jig time and we were
called out, but when a Peru player hit
one over the bluff it meant a home
run. I think the Peru team made seven
home runs that day.
Finally, I solved the problem. I was
coaching at first, and when one of the
Dallas boys hit one into the right field
valley I scampered out to the edge of
the cliff to see how the Peru fielder al
ways managed to get the ball. 1 had
noticed that every time the ball went
over the bank the Peru second baseman
would yell:
" Over she CONFESS!
HE gave the same yell this time
lust as I reached the jumping of place.
striking his hands together to ini-
tate the sound of the clash Of the ball
and glove. Mr.. Right Fielder calmly
reached into his blouse, dug out an
other ball and threw it up over the
bank. The ball the batter had hit was
still going.
'Outp yelled the umpire, and as he
was a. Peru man his word was law.
but we had made at least twelve
home runs that day and never got
credit for one"

 and Kills Two. A

Memphis, Tenn. Nov. 17.-A special to The News-Scimitar from Pocahontas' Ark. says:
 Bigger, a little town on the Frisco Railroad, ten miles north of this city, was the scene of a bloody tragedy last night. the result of which two men, John Shipley and young man named Dennis are dead, and Lee Jones, deputy Sheriff Jim Wisner and City Marshal Jesse Johnston are seriously wounded.
 Wisner had his jaw broken and one ear shos off.
 Shiple T, Dennis snd Jones were charged with being members of gang of cotton thieves who had operated in the Cherokee bay country for some time and the trouble arose when the deputy sheriff and his posse apprehend- cd them. When told to halt they opened fire on the posse which prompt ly returned the fusilade with the above results.
 Jones, the third member of the gang, escaped, but was wounded.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
MOST REPORTS INDICATE 1N-
 CREASE IN BUSINESS.
Still Some Delay in Mercantile COilec- tions, Especially In the south, Where Cotton is Not Being
 Marketed Freely.

New York. Nov. 17.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 market had little deleterious effect in comercial channels, most reports indi- eating further increase in the volume of business. Orders come forward freely for distant delivery and buyers experience much difficulty in making purchases for cuick shipment. Whole- sale trade in holiday goods IS now well LII der way and retail distribution of seasorable merchandise responds to the generally lower temperature. There is still some delay in mercantile collections, especially at the south, where cotton is not being marketed freely and to q less degree in grain regions, because traffic facilities are not ado qGate. but the majority or re- ports il dicate that payments are more prompt in spite of the higher money rates.
 Manufacturing plants have scarcely a drawback, except scarcity of labor in a few instances and small strikes that interrupt structural work to some ex- tent None of these influences after any considerable proportion of the ca pacity and there were many high rec ords of production. This Is the case at pig iron furnaces and coke ovens. while textile mills and shoe factories make almost as satisfactory exhibits. Traffic conditions have improved and railway earnings for he first week of November were 4 per cent. larger than in the corresponding time last year, while the official statement Of foreign commerce for the month of October showed a very ,arge increase in the aggregate and at this port for the last week exports gained $3,933,02S in com parison with 1904 while imports de- creased $1,160.047.
 Incres sed imr of irol and steel, especially structural shapes. testified to the current rate of consumption as domestic production Is undoubtedly at the maximum.
 Hides continue firm, tut trading is restricted by the light offerings of hackers who az sold far ahead, rather than any lack of demand. Further, ad- vances occurred in foreign dry hides. Leather is also somewhat less active.
 Failures this week numbered 240 in the United States, against 217 last year and 42 in Canada, compared With 27 wear ago.
