MERIDIAN WINS AGAIN
DETROIT AMERICANS COME.

Meridian. Miss, March 26.-The first real
games will be played here Friday and
Saturday when the Detroit American

After outhitting the locals again today,
the Marion Military institute boys COW
cred themselves with a coat of white
wash by their numerous and costly errors.
The game lacked the spectacular features
of the day before, both sides appearing
listless. The last game of the series
will be played tomorrow afternoon. Score:

was the Birmingham pitcher, and he
yielded but three hits. An unfortunate
error robbed Bartlett of a game that he
should have won.

Athletics in the worlds championship
series against New York in 1905. He is
not given regular place on the team,
however.
Guy Woodruff, Manager Vaughn ~
nephew, is en- route to Birmingham. The
youngster, as is remembered was draft
ed by New York, and the Barons could
not get him at the beginning of the sea-
son. 1t seems, however, that no contract
was sent him, and he comes to Birming
ham.
He is an outfelder and infielder val
liable utility man. 1t is difficult to see,
nevertheless how he can land a berth,
with the Barons. He is a valuable ''fu-I

Baseball arrangements should take care
that wrong impressions are not given.
The fans yesterday expected to see the
Philadelphia Athletic regulars instead of
the Colts. The sporting writer's in Bir-
mingham had the same impression.
True, the game was the best of the
practice season, and really the most en-
joyable. The fans were disappointed,
however, that none of the great stars
twinkled.
For the information of the fans, there
fore, it is now said that the game this
afternoon will be between the Barons
and the Philadelphia American Colts.
From baseball viewpoint. the sport
promised is excellent.
With the Colts is Billy Bartlett, the
'blue eyed boy of destiny" He is an
old Southern league. twirler, having
starred on one occasion with Shreveport.
1t is remembered that on one occasion
he pitched a no-hit game against the
Barons in Birmingham and lost it, thus

Some of the Features.

The visitors should not have scored. The
fans had an idea that Hoffmans double
to left was due primarily to the TACT
that Gardner was playing out of posi-
ton. The triple of Lelivelts should not
have been, and would not had Gardner
backed up Wordsworth. However, the
fans are glad the scores were made be-
cause the game was rendered more inter-
esting.
The feature of the game was the base
stealing of Hastmeyer. He purloined four
bags. In the tenth inning he stole sec
ond The fans and players thought Burke
called him out Walters threw the ball
on the ground and started home Burke
then ruled that the runner was safe.
Gastmeyer then ran to third, which Al
cock thinking the inning over, had de-
serted.
Walters played a rather uneven game.
He has not yet got his hand and arm
to working Turner added new laurels
by his work, and the fans are now cali
ing him a conner. He has probably made
good. Montgomery did not play yester-
day, but will get in uniform before the

but nothing serious will result.

mended that sewers be laid on

played remarkable vitality in sur

WAS ESTIMATING TIMBER
IN CUBA THREE MONTHS
James Hannaway Has Returned From
His Labors for the American
Tobacco Company.

j. b. Hannaway of Brainerd,
who has but recently returned
from Cuba, spent last night in
this city, renewing acquaintances
since his return to his "native
heath.'.s
Mr.. Hannaway, who has a wide
reputation as lumberman and
scaler and estimator of timber.
spent three months in Cuba, es-
timating timber and gathering
data for the American Cigar
company Of New York. This
company has vast holdings of.
lands in Cuba, there being some
excellent lands which are covered
with valuable tim Der, including
mahogany among other hard
woods. Mr.. Hannaway put in
most of his time three miles west
OF Las Marines, (which is slso
west of Havana) and worked for
the most part along the coast.
Mr.. Hannaway states that the
hard wood there will be logged
about the same as pine is lum-
bered in northern Minnesota. It
will be cut into the regulation
log lengths, and then afterwards
manufactured into the various
lengths desired. He states that
the American Tobacco company
will put in a sawmill near Las
Marines, in the spring, and will
at once begin saving the timber,
which will be cut in the woods
and hauled to the mill.
