Forrest City vs. Osceola.

The Forrest City Base Ball team met the team from Osceola on the diamond Monday, and after spirited twelve inning game went down in defeat on score of to4
 The game on Tuesday was nothing more than practice game so far as the Oseeela team was concerned. as the score stood r to 5 in favor of the visitors.
 The game on Wednesday was more interesting, as the Forrest City boys held the visitors down to a score of sto5.
 In the l2th inning the visitors sue eeeded in putting three men across the plate, and shutting out the locals It was a pretty game and hard one Homer Folbre was in the box for three innings. when he was relieved by Pat Folbre. Brady was behind the bat-"with big mitt.a
 The visitors made their winning run on a hot grounder to short stop lsaacs. He had positive position in front of the ball, and had not trick of late interferred would have thrown the batter out. As it was, however. the ball came like a buckshot and just as Phillip made sure he had it, 1t bounded five feet over his head, and the trouble was all over.
 The work of the umps in all three games was highly satisfactory to all concerned, excepting a very few hon est mistakes. ]. G. Sanders umpired the game Monday most conscientious ly, though he put Phillip Isaaes out at third when it seemed he was very safe and would no doubt have scored and won the game.
 MT. R. L. Stockard acted in the second game, and was as fair as it is possible to be. D. C. Webb acted in the third with his usual fair, prompt and positive decisions.

The Forrest City times., 1906-07-20

Liberal advertising brought a large crowd of colored people and fair sprinkling of white folks to the Base Ball Park yesterday to witness a game between Forrest City and Madi- son teams, both colored.
 A game between two colored clubs affords much sport to the audience, as the hines enter into the game each with the determination to win. The roofing was tremendous.
 The game was pronounced the best ever played on the diamond by any club, either black or white. Nine innings were played resulting in tht defeat of the Madison club by a score of ? to }.
 The best of order was preserved and the management deserve credit for the manner in which the day va. spent.

DRASTIC LEGISLATION
President Roosevelt viii Send Con-
gress Tainted Meat Report.

President Roosevelt viii Send Con-
sress Tainted Meat Report.
Washington, June 2.-President-
Roosevelt yesterday decided to make
public the reports of Charles P. Nell,
commissioner of labor, and J. B. Reyn.
ODDS concerning the conditions of the
meat packing establishments as they
found them in an inquiry for his own
information. The report of Mr. Neill
and Mr.. Reynolds will be sent to con-
gress next Monday. 1t will be ac-
companied by a special message of the
president, in which he will take
strong grounds in favor of immediate
and drastic legislation to correst the
evils which are exposed in the report.
The president had not expected to
make public the report. He felt its
publication might injure the packing
house industry in this country. Pri-
marily the information contained in
tie report was obtained to be used as
a basis for the legislation proposed in
the amendment to the agricultural APP
preparation bill by Senator Beveridge
of Indiana He did not imagine there
would be serious opposition to an ap-
preparation for inspection of such
meats for domestic consumption as af-
forded to meats intended for shipment
abroad The packers, however, rose
in arms against the Beveridge amend
ment being insistent in opposition to
it, not only in principle, but in the
question of paying for the proposed in
spection.
Representative Wadswonth of New
York called on the President yester-
day. He is the chairman of the Agri-
cultural committee of the house, to
which the proposed amendment will
be referred. He indicated to the presi-
dent the intention OF the committee
to consider, the amendment proposed
by Senator Beveridge and adopted
practically without division by the
senate and to prepare substitute
for 1t that would be fair for all parties
concerned.
The attitude OF Mr.. Wadsworth was
not satisfactory to the president.
In view of the facts reported to him
by Neill and Reynolds the president ia
of the opinion that immediate legisla,
lion OF a drastic nature is necessary
to cure the1evils which have developed
He decided, therefore, to make public
the report which has been presented
: to him writing. He win send the
report to congress next Monday &C
companying It with special message
urging in strong terms the enactment
into law of the Beveridge amendment
as it stands in the bill.
