CARL WARE A STAR
With the Bases Full, One Man Out and the Score 4 to 5 in the Ninth, the Nationals Failed te Secure the Needed Hit.
The Dan Shea ball tossers of Mem

The Dan Shea ball tossers of Mem phis defeated the Arkansas Nationals of this city at Forest Park Thursday afternoon in one of the fastest amateur baseball games that has been seen in this city recently by the close score of 4 to 3. Though the lead the Mem phis boys took in the fifth inning, when they scored two runs, was never overcome by the local nine, the game was exciting throughout, and the Na- tionals made several good attempts to score. In the ninth inning with the score to 3, and three men on bases, the Nationals could not score, though only one man was down. Arthur Brewster and Beaurie Hut failed to show the hit necessary to win the game at the critical point
 The two teams divided honors On the hits, each having nine to it's credit. For the Nationals, Ware led the hit ting, securing three safe taps out of four times at bat while Taylor is credited with two safe hits out of the same number of chances. Meeks and Parrott led the hitting for the visi- tors, each securing two hits out of five times at bat.
 Lawless kept his hits well scatter ed, while the visitors punched their hits off Sandy" Reeves, and these added to the five errors of the locals, account for the runs made by the Memphians. The threatening weather had it's effect on the attendance, only small crowd witnessing the game.
 John Bloom umpired the game. The same teams will cross bats again to- Iday and Saturday afternoon at For est Park. The following is the score:

Why Village Improvement Pays.

Make the country towns more beauti- full and the desire to leave them for the great cities will not be so great says the Los Angeles Times. In spring time the dwellers in the cities turn with longing to the country and the country town. They long for green fields and singing birds, and happy the suburban town whose people have made it's streets shady, its appearance attractive. for to such will come peo- pie who add to the community's life and prosp. 'ity. From an economic view village improvement pays. It fills up vacant houses. it increases the value of your property, it educate:s your boy and girl and it will make this world pleasanter place than yor found it in the past.

Washington, Dec. 12.-Members of the
Democratic national committee who were
in this city were among the most inter-
ested OF the readers OF the announcement
made I'm this mornings papers that Presi-
dent Roosevelt had reiterated his deter
mination not TO accept another nomina-
tion, for the presidency. and while most
OF them were reserved In their comment,
II was evident that they saw In IL fa-
vorable omen for their own party. Several
Of them frankly expressed the opinion
that President Roosevelt could poll a
larger Democratic vote than any other
on ndidate, and their inference was that
with the president absolutely out of the
race, the Democratic candidate would
not only retain the vote OF his own party.
but would stand a better show OF making
inroads upon the opposition
"As a supporter OF Taft. / am very
much gratlfed that the statement has
been made" This was the remark of
Senator Long of Kansas, who was an
early White House caller today.
Mr.. Long added that he had always be-
lieved the presidents former statement.
and considered that Mr.. Roosevelt had
never contemplated being a candidate
again.
