HOBO MIGRATION
 HAS AGAIN BEGUN
NEW YORK IS BEING DESERTED BY HUMAN WRECkS, WHO ARE BLOCKING TOWARD WARMER CLIMBS OF THE SOUTH.

New York, September 20.-A notable ef feet of the approach of cold weather is the exodus of tramps. The park benches are being deserted and the railroads will soon be obliged to deal with the Hobo problem. The roads running out of New York have seconded the decision of the recent conference of railway boards at Minneapolis that the tramp evil is the most serious in railroad operation today, and they have referred the matter to their respective chiefs of police. These chiefs will therefore, gather in this city in a few days to discuss ways and means of meeting the situation.
 The New York Central has made be- ginning of dealing with the tramp pest by stationing a hundred young men of tried strength and courage on it's main line between here and Albany to keep tramps from boarding trains and commit ting depredations. The youths are sworn as special officers and were empowered to arraigh their prisoners Vagrants.
 Inc Central estimates that if loses $20,000 yearly in freight and stolen or de- stroyed by tramps in it's Eleventh avenue yards.

Surviving him are his devoted wife, six sons and three daugh- ters Mrs Forshee was in Chapman when the end came.
 Mir Forshee was 55 years of age, and had for many years been prominently identified in the lumber industry of soutih-

KICKS ON PHONE COMPANY

Jackson, Miss, September 20.-(Spe- cial.) .)--The board of trade members of this city who went to Vlcksburg to at tend the hearing in the custer pro ceeding instituted by District Attorney Thames against the Gulf Compress people, returned the same day very well satisfied with the outcome, though 1t gives Jackson only temporary re- lief The case was called off by Chan cellor Hicks for the reason that the son of Hon. Murray F. Smith, one of the chief attorneys, was critically Ill and he could not be present This does not dispose of the case in any way whatever, but the congresses are all permitted to begin operations again. and great satisfaction Is expressed in those towns like Jackson where there is only one compress, or even in Vicks- burg, where tn ere are three, but all under one mana cement.
 Many Complaints Made.
 Complaints are coming to the rail road commission from all over the state against the Cumberland Telephone company largely becalse of it's ra- fusal to obey the orders of the com mission as to free county service. Sev- era! months ago the commission passed an order on what is known as free county service" but which In reality is not any free service, but a complicated piece of reduced rate service that would hardly give satisfaction If en- forced al 1t is evidently not under stood by any of the patrons of the lines. Free county service as de- scribed at the railroad commission of flee, is no free service at all and 1t is really hard to understand just what it is.

A notable game of ye olden time as baseball history goes, was pulled off in 1877 at Manchester, New Hampshire The Harvard nine was playing the local club Inning after inning was played without a run until there were twenty-four in- nlngs and still no run. In this game Catcher Jim Tyng made the unprece- dented record of thirty-one put outs and three assists. That game is still talked of around Harvard Tyng was the first player in the baseball world to use a oatchers mask This twentyfour inning game was next to the longest in the history of baseball. The longest was played at Devils Lake, North Dakota, July IS, 1901, between the Grand Forks and Fargo teams. There were twenty
 five innings played in that game with out either side scoring a point. The big gest score on record is that made at Buffalo in the sixties, when the Niagaras beat the Coumbias, 209 to 10.

 One of the few woman pitchers in this country playing with a team of men, Is Miss Carrie Mover of Allentown, Pa. She has pretty good record as a pitcher. Last year she pitched a game against Reading, and was one of the biggest drawing cards of that section. A report of the game says that she did not rely on her speed but that she pitched a puzzling out curve that was too much for the other team. The opposing pitcher was a good one, and yet he was hit nine times against her seven. She played an error less game. At the bat she brought in one run by making timely single.
 The records of baseball show but two real genuine women fans. One of them was Helen Dawvry, who Is now Mrs. John Ward, her husband being a player with something of a record The other is Mrs. Charles Wilson of New York. Her son Buster is the mascot of the Giants, and they have missed only two games in three years at the Polo grounds. Ac- eompanied by her husband who is A wealthy real estate man, they have seen about every important baseball event in the United States. "ETi-Hr' Dixwell, the most unique cltizen' of Boston for a generation, with his shril staccato voice, and old "Well-Welr' of New York are about the most widely known fans of the masculine persuasion in America.
 " A. Cummings. the inventor of the curve In baseball pitching, is still living. He discovered the possibilities of the curve on Jarvis field. while playing against Harvard some forty years ago. He has written to his Boston friends that he will be there Homecoming week, and may pitch game just to show that forty years have not served to take all the curves out of his good right arm.
 The movement now on foot to eliminate the spikes from baseball shoes because so many players are hurt with them. had its counterpart in a successful move ment for the elimination of the hitting of player with ball, some thirty years ago. When the game was young hitting the baserunner with the ball was sane toned just as 1t had been in old-fash- toned town ball. Many was the time that a player running bases would take the chances of being hit and in fact would often try to draw the throw realizing that the chances were many to one that he could dodge the ball. But there were men in the game who would wait until the runner got at close range, and then throw dangerously hard. After several serious injuries had occurred, there came the successful movement that put an end to the rule. Considering the damage they have done the elimination of spikes has already been postponed too long.

mans correspondence consisted of
four or FIVE dictations. If a bust

ference with him required a walk

The telegraph was used only in real

Business men who travelled expected
TO spend weeEs on their tour. not
days with work in the daylight and

And as there was generally more
open air in the program of the day,
there was generally more com

A Word From James J. Hill.

This country today Is in most immi-
nent danger from want of transporta-
ton. Traffic is growing five
times as fast as mileage, and We are
UP against stone wall There
Is water enough from ST. Louis down.
Such a channel would save from
three TO five cents on every bushel
OF grain exported. There is cry
ing need for the Improvement OF the
Mississippi river. IL can't be delayed
Every day 1t IS delayed costs more and
more money TO everyone In the MlSsis-
sippi valley as far east as Columbus
Ohio.
These are the words of James j.
Hill. Not of steamboat man or an
inland State governor, or the presi-
dent of some river towns chamber
of commerce, but of the head OF the
Great Northern railway system.
They mean much. They mean that
the inland waterways must be put
to use for the sake of the valleys
through which they run. But more
important to the whole country.
they mean also that unless they are
used to defect from the railroads a
considerable volume of export
freight traffic, the whole business
of freight handling for every State
in the Union will be congested-
