MANY CHANGES
ARE BEING MADE
WHEN TEAM APPEARS HERE To-
MORROW MANY CHANGES
WILL BE OBSERVED
IN THE LINEUP.
In Order TO Maintain Discipline Man.
ager kunkIe Has Been Com
PEELED to Suspend Several
RecaIcitrant Players.

There seems to be discord in the
ranks OF the Columbus baseball team.
and in order to maintain discipline
Manager Kunk1e has been compelled
to suspend and fine several players
ST. John has been fined and tempor-
arily suspended, and Paulig has been
benched indefinitely. 1t seems that
both Paulfg and st. John have been
playing indifferently, and it is claim
ed that the loss of several games is
traceable to costly errors on the part
of these two players. Campbell has
also been laid off on account of in
different playing. Campbell is the
first baseman, who was secured from
Webb City in exchange for Red"
Wright, and when he first came he
showed up in fine shape, but soon
became careless in his work, and his
suspension followed.
Andrews, the outfielder and change
catcher, has been traded to Meridian
for Marshall. Andrews is a good
player and a hard worker, but in it's
present condition the team needs
man for the outfield alone, and Mar
shall can perform acceptable work in
this position, while his salary is con-
siderably less than that paid An
drews. Marshall will play the field
continuously, and Harlow, one of the
new men recently signed by Kunkle,
viii serve as change catcher. Greg
0ry, another new man, is playing sec
ond base, and Huber is once more
at short.
In its present disorganized e I'd dis
rupted condition, the team is steadily
losing Thursdays game in Mobile
was lost to the home team by a score
si3f seven to three. and the Oystermen
won Fridays contest by a score of
four tao nothing.
The concluding game of the Mo
bile series was played yesterday af-
ternoou, and was won by the Oyster
men by a score of four to one Bishop
pitched for the Csolumbians and Boyd
pitched for Mobile. The Columbus
team viii return home today, open
ing a series of three games with Gulf
port ON Lake Park diamond tomor-
row afternoon

car line, is to expend $4,000 in i'm
mediate improvements. This sum
viii be expended in making a loop
around Washington Park, in improy-
ing the condition of the track, and
in the purchase of new cars. Later
on the company win provide for the
extension Of the line By an additional
appropriation.
The two buildings for which con-
tracts have not been awarded the
postofice and the Southern Railway
roundhouse, are sure to be erected.
The awarding of the contract for the
postofice has been delayed by the
sudden death of Assistant United
states District Attorney Buchanan,
who had been entrusted with the task
of investigating the title to the Me-
Quown property. which was selected
as a site for the proposed structure.
Congress has made an appropriation
for the postofice, and the building
wiz certainly materialize. The delay
in awarding the contract for the
Southern roundhouse was occasioned
By the fact that none of the bids sub
mitted by the contractors came with
IN the appropriation and it will there
fore be necessary to either modify the
plans or secure more money for the
work. The company has definitely
determined to build a roundhouse in
this city, and the erection of the
building is only question of very
short time.
The improvements noted above rep
resent an expenditure of about $375.-
900, and with the dwelling houses,
stores, cottages and other smaller
buildings now IN process Of construc-
ton here, it Is safe to say that build
ing operations representing an expen-
diture OF harf million dollars are
in progress. There is great activity
in realty circles, as well as in build
ing operations, and Columbus real
estate rs daily increasing in value.

Messrs. F. S. Slcight and John

N. D., are in the city. Mi. Sleight
has land in the vicinity and Mr..
R~ockafellow is looking about with
a view to investing. They express
themselves as highly pleased with
this section of the country. They
have recently made a trip of in
spection to the irrigated districts of
Washington and Oregon and landed
here with the feeling that no better
land or opportunities can be found
than here in Elmore county. They
saw land in North Yakima that
could not be purchased for $2500
per acre and less than fifteen years
ago it was being sold for So. SO
per acre. They are convinced that
the same condition will prevail in
this vicinity and that the time is
coming when the lands will be in
as great demand as those of North
Yakima.
