Amarillo went down in defeat before
the cadets of the Military Institute in
the third game of the convention
baseball tournament at Amusement
Park Wednesday afternoon 1t was
the closest, hottest game of the tour
nament, and the final score was two
to one. None of the scores were made
on safe hits.
Thus far three games have been
played. Twice nave the cadets defeat
ed Amarillo, and once the town team
of Roswell carried off from the visit
ors the big end of the score. Today
tae town team is giving them another
trial on the diamond.
Both pitchers made splendid rec
ords- Hester, for the Institute, struck
out nine, passed no one and allowed
only two hits. Weller, the Indian, for
Amarillo. struck out ten, passed two
and allowed but five hits, two of
which were bunts beaten to first. None
of the five hits were buncned, and
the scores were made without their
support. 1t was entirely a question of
errors, and Amarillo made most of
them.
McAlester, in left field for Amaril-
10, made the sensational play for the
game. Hester had a terrifi fly that
would have hit the north fence, in
left field. He was simply robbed of
at least a two base hit by McAlester.

OF SAN
FRANCISCO EARTHQUAKE

San Francisco, Apr. 1S.-Just one
year ago today the newspapers thru
out the world were telling their star
tied readers, in big black scareneads.
that San Francisco was utterly des
troyed, wiped off the map, annililated
completely and beyond hope of res
direction Today San Francisco is
again great city, not as big nor as
care-free as prior to the disaster, but
still a great and progressive metrop-
oils. Scars still remain-bla ckened
heaps of ruins reminiscent of one of
the greatest catastrophes in all his
brave city are doing their best to
hide them. The business section OF
the city, a year ago almost wholly
devastated, has been largely rebuilt.
To most people the days of horror
that followed the quake have become
a dim memory, and to some light
hearted ones mere joke. A year ago
in the depths of the direst of disas-
ters, San Francisco is now going
about its business or pleasure as un-
concernedly as ever. Men VINO were
rendered penniless a year ago are to-
day wondering if their ''sure thing"
will get under the wire first in the
fifth race at Emeryville. Anyone who
imagined that the Golden Gate city
would be rendered solemn and melan-
eholy and sedate by the great nolo-
caust has, in the language of the
street, another guess coming.

cUNARD STEAMSHIP
COMPANY MAY MOVE.

Liverpool, April 1S.-Presiding to-
day at the annual meeting of the Gu
nard Steamship Company, Chairman
Watson said that he had no positive
announcement to make as to wheth-
er the company proposed to move
from Liverpool to an English Channel
port. He advised that the matter be
left in allegiance at present. He said
that overtures had been made to the
Cunard Company to ally itself with
continetal competitors, but that the
terms suggested could not be con-
sidered. The statement that the Gu
nard Company had sold its interest
in the Hungarian-American trade, he
said, was incorrect, that the Hunga-
rian government had not asked the
company to cancel it's contract.

to Roswell, and stated that ne had

The next speaker was Prof. H. w.
Campbell, the soil expert, who spoke
on scientific farming. He spoke brief
ly on his favorite subject, merely ad-
vancing the theory that better crops
could be raised, by a scientific treat
ment of the soil, than by an over
abundance of water. He reserved the
greater part of his theory and the
proof thereof for the afternoon meet

resolution favoring the annexa-
ton of the Pecos Valley of New Mex
leo to the state of Texas, in a spirit
OF compliment only, was passed. But
when this was done, j. F. Hinkle
made a speech against it, saying that
the move would be misunderstood and
misinterpreted abroad, to the detri-
ment of the counties of New Mexico
intended as the beneficiaries. After
other business, the move was again
brought up by Judge o. H. Nelson,
of Amarillo, who argued in favor of
supported by judge G. A. Richardson,
James F. Hinkle and others. 1t was
seen at once that it was a bad move.
and with the consent of the parties
making and seconding the first mo-
ton, the resolution was expunged
from the records of the convention.
Resolutions thanking Roswell for
the entertainment of the members,
favoring a national lease law and tae
compulsion of the railroads to give
better service, were adopted. Proba-
bly, score and a half of new mem
bers were received into the associa-
ton.
The bylaws were amended to make

The eighth annual meeting of the
Texas was adjourned sine die at II: 80
today, after a morning session full
of interest from start to finish. The
annual election of officers and selec-
| ton of the next place of meeting
were the great points of interest,
| Amarillo winning out as the next con-
vention city over Dalhart and Carls-
bad. The election of officers resulted
as follows:
T. S. Bugbee, president.
T. ]. Richards, first vice pres.
G. M. Slaughter, second v. P.
E. H. Brainard, secretary.
B. T. Ware, treasurer.
All the old officers were reelected,
except second vice president.
The meeting was called to order
at the new Association Rink building
at ten O'Clock. and Avery Turner, vice
president and general manager of the
Pecos Valley Lines, was the first reg
ular speaker. Col. Turner said that
he had been in the live stock business
all mis- life. He was especially inter
ested in this association and likes it's
methods, especially on account of the
fact that it is continually busy attend
ing to its own business. He said he
| considered forage crops the salvation
of the Panhandle. He favored the in
spection of cattle early in the season,
that the shippers might avoid the rush
that always comes later.
Mr.. Turner recognized the duty of
| railroads to a community, but said
that the Pecos Valley Lines, a branch,
were exepcted to do and were doing
| the work of a main line. He recogniz-
ed the fact that it was their duty to
put in improvements, but he urged
| that duty as it was, this could not
be done without money, and the ques-
ton was where to get this money. He
did not deny that the road was max
| ing money, but said that the Texas
commission laws prevented them
from making enough money to put
in the improvements needed, conse-
quently they have to borrow 1t. He
said that the road has in view the
expenditure of three million dollars
for improvements. Much of the work
has already been undertaken. When
completed this improvement will
make the Pecos Valley line better
| than a new road, he considered. But
| 1t will require more than three mill
! ion dollars for equipment. The road
is in need of many more cars. Three
/ years it purchased 500 cattle cars, and
all disappeared in three weeks. Since
tnat time Mr.. Turner has never seen
more than three of them together at
one time. The company. is not spar
| ing any efforts and hopes to build a
road to be proud of. But in order to
Co this its bonded Indebtedness must
be increased. The present trouble is

state against the Waters-Pierce Oil
Company will be held today before
Judge V. L. Brooks in the twenty
sixth district court. On May 1S, a
month from today, the suit will come
up for trial on its merits. The passage
of a law giving the attorney general
additional power to investigate and
produce the books of public service
corporation mas materially aided the
state authorities in the prosecution
of the suit.
