The "Mound City,

St. Louis rejoices in the sobrlquet
Of Mound City from the fact that the
original settlers found there many
elevations which 1t is S.rSosed were
relics of that strange people who
dwelt in the Ohio and Mississippi val
leys and are known to modern times
only as the Mound Builders. NO ade-

OF their strange mode of leaving
memorials of their existence. The
limestone bluffs on which a part OF
St. Louis stands furnish solid toun'
dation for the business buildings.

Fridays Gamee

The Arkansas Nationals of this city and the Dan Shea team of Memphis again crossed bats at Forest Park Friday afternoon, and after one of the fastest and most interesting games seen on the local diamond for long time, the home boys came out vic. torious with the long end of the score of to l. Each team has five hits to it's credits, but the six free passes, which Coulter allowed the locals aided very materially their efforts to win.
 One of Pine Bluffs scores was made on an error, while the one run of the Dan Sheas was earned. Null lins, who pitched for the home team, was at his best throughout the game and worked like professional. While Coulter kept his hits scattered, he was wild at critical times.
 Beaurie Hut was the only playe.' on either side who secured more than one hit, while Carl. Ware, who led the two teams in the hitting Thurs day, had an off day, and could not land safe tap. His fielding was excellent, and though he has one er- TOT to his credit, the chance was 2 difficult one, and is excusable John Bloom again held the indicator, and gave general satisfaction. The box score follows:
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1907-07-14

Rieger took turns for the visitors throwing the ball away, and by their little game Hut scored one run. and A. Brewster reached third base.
 The game throughout was slow and dragging, and the time seemed to pass very heavily on the players as we'll as on the spectators, quite a contrast to the other two games which these two teams have engaged in at Forest Park this week, either of which would have been credit to any minor league.
 Parrott, the large catcher for the visitors was easily the star performer of the game, both in the field and at the bat. His fielding was perfect, while with the willow he secured three safe hits and two runs out of five times at bat. His throwing to second base and the general charac- ter of his playing has attracted the attention of the local fans, and their general sentiment is that either by or
 
 before next season, the Memphis team of the Southern League will have recognized his merits, and will offer him a permanent berth on their team.
 Sandy" Reeves led the local team in hitting, being the only member to secure more than one hit. On one. of these some of the fans contend that he should have had a two-hagger to his credit, for he reached second base before the fielder fielded the ball, and there was no error. The circumstances of the case are that Right Fielder Hester stumbled in a vain attempt to catch his fly and fell, giving a free exhibition of tumbling. He jumped up in time to get the ball, however, before the center fielder reached the scene of his trouble.
 By winning this game the Dan Sheas made it two out of three from the Nationals.

 0F ERRORS Dan Shea's Team of Mem phis Captured the Last of the Series of Ball Games Saturday Afternoon
PARROTT A STAR
Catcher for Visitors Played Great Hall-Whyte, Local Twirler, Was Pounded Hard by Nati0nals-Game Exciting But Featureless.

On account of the errors of the home team the Dan Shea baseball team of Memphis captured the last game of the series of three from the Arkansas Nationals at Forest Park yesterday afternoon by score of 2 to 3. Mullins yielded seven hits and these coupled with the eleven errors of the locals were enough to win. On the other hand Whyte, local boy and a member of the Miller High Life base ball team of this city, who pitched for the Memphians, was found by the Na- tionals for ten hits, but the four er- TOTS of the visitors did not come in the same inning as the hits, and the A4fe raps availed almost nothing.
 The best chance the local team had for victory was tluring the sixth in ming when with three men on bases and only one man out, Mullins was forced out at the plate by an ihfield hit Arthur Brewster, the next man up, was chosen by the pitcher for his own, and he was hit by pitched ball, forcing in Genevay. Ware, the next man up, was an easy out by way Of short to first. This was the time when a good clean drive would have given the locals the lead, and possibly enough spirit to encourage them 10 win the game. But when hit meant runs, it was not forthcoming
