The Webb City club has established
a record which has probably never
been equaled in the history of base
ball and one that is likely to stand
for ages to come. Leading the league
by fair margin, the team struck the
CoOleycrows on the local sward for
a series which resulted in the Webb
City bunch falling into second position
on May 16. From that eventful day
the team continued its losing streak,
occasionally winning a game. until on
June 1 they were anchored at the bot
tom Of the percentage column. Then
the strengthening process began. Rohn
secured some new pitchers and prac-
tically new outfeld and began the
climb to the top rung again, which
he succeeded in reaching July g. The
summary is that on May IS his team
was leading the pennant race, on June
l he was in the last position and on
July regained their top position
again. In other words, he has been
up and down the scale three times.
and though he encountered many fats
on the trips he conquered them and
IS now singing many octaves higher
than he was on his first trip From
now on they will be right in the FIGHT
for the pennant. as the team is pIav-
ing first-class ball. having just defeat

BEGIN LAYING STEEL ON
THE COLORADO SOUTHERN.

Monday the track laying outfit on
the Colorado Southern railroad began
work at DeQuincey and inasmuch as
all the bridges and trestles on that
stretch of the line between the place
first named and Eunice have been
erected it is expected that rapid pro-
gress will be made in laying the steel
to the last named place. By the time
the gang reaches Eunice it is ex-
pected that the bridges and trestles
will have been completed to the At
chafalaya river, thus permitting the
laying of steel along the entire line
from the western part of the state to
the river in quick time, says the
Crowley Signal Of last Saturday.
These facts have been CLEANED from
the Beaumont Journal which gets its
information from the general Offices
Of the company at Beaumont. In
this connection the statement is also
made that THE contractors have laid
out all their work on the Crowley
branch. The right of way has not
yet been secured, but it is expected
to have it all by the middle Of the
week. This line is 22 miles long.
There will also be 10 miles Of ter
rninals built at Crowley. The officials
of the Colorado Southern, New Or
leans & Pacific expect their Crowley
branch to be completed by January
/, and made ready for operation the
first week in that month";
