.DECRY TREE BLEEDING
Lumbermen Say Practice of
Destroying Pine Forests
Will Soon Kill Industry

Philadelphia. Pa. Sept S.-That the
lumber industry of the country will
be killed within the next ten years
was the prediction made today by f. A.
Bridges of Quitman. Ca. in strong
plea for the preservation OF forests be-
fore the conference of lumbermen in
session here.
'BIeeding" Especially HARMFUL
IF the practice of bleeding trees for
turpentine and telling them at tender
age is continued at the present rate
he said. "the forests and wooded tracts
in the United States will be destroyed
and the immense lumber industry Of
the country killed within the short
period OF ten years.
AT present there is a shortage In tho
supply of lumber, but the worst is to
come. Unless some miracle happens
and forests spring UP over night. the
lumber supply of this country will be
exhausted within ten years. Abuses
are responsible for this state OF affairs,
the bleeding of trees being especially
harmful"
No Changes In Rules.
1t was decided Ky the lumberTnen not
to make any changes in the rules regu-
lating the classi dcation and inspection
Of yellow pine. 1t was agreed. how
ever, by the Southern shippers that the
local and Northern dealers could refuse
to accept shipments OF long leaf yell

dered-
In this way II is expected that the
former differences that arose from time
to time between the lumbermen VIII be
remedied.

CUNNINGHAM TAMES
FORMER TERRORISTS
Noble Work Throughout
Game Makes Victory over
Lowell a Walkaway.
"CLASSIEST" EVER SEEN HERE
Fans Went Away Feeling They Had
Witnessed Plays Worthy of
National Leaguers.

1t was all Cunningham in the game
yesterday with Lowell at the north side
grounds. The noble work of the ex
national Lacquer, tanned the former ter
rorists at every stage of the game and
but few safeties could be boosted out
Of the reach of the feet-footed field
ers- "Cunnie" secured a permanent
berth in the hearts of the six hundred
baseball fans who cheered him from the
time the first ball was tossed until the
last man was struck out in the ninth
The Hammond pitcher was the clas-
siest that has ever appeared in a box
in this city. He struck the Lowell
sluggers out just for amusement and
occasionally let them get hit TO tease
them and then frightened up and there
was nothing doing. He was more than
a match for the supposed invincible
Irwin. and the home team. inspired by
the confidence of a good battery, knock
ed the ball square on the nose time
and again and If 1T were not for the
clean and brilliant fielding OF the down
country boys half dozen runs could
have been bagged without trouble.
Pitchers Victory.
With the fielding about even, the
game was sure to be swung to the
team with the best pitcher, and that
tells the story of Hammond's victory.
Irwin was no mean opponent, to be
sure, but he was not the unsolvable
puzzle to the boys that he proved to
be in the game a week ago. The con-
fdence which the loyal home rooters
had in the ability of the home team to
conquer their rivals, with the glorious
record of % games won out of rs
played, was badly shattered after the
two previous contests and there was
not the quantity of money in evidence
and ready and eager to be laid on the
chances of the home team.
Hammond people who missed the
game yesterday for the purpose of see
ing the White Sox game in Chicago
should be sorry they went The quality
of ball playing was all that could be
desired, both teams pulling Off stunts
that would be worthy of any of the big
leagues. The hitting was plentiful and
nicely handled and caused the enthu-
siasm to wax to the boiling point.
Last Game.
This was the last game that will bt
pulled off on the local grounds by the
home team and served to leave a gooc
taste in the mouths of the local fans
Henceforth, until the opening of the
next season, kind thoughts of the gal
liant deeds of the Hammond baseball
team will be nourished by the loca
rooters.

1t certainly was tough to lose that
game yesterday TO the Tigers in the
eleventh inning when everything
seemed to point to victory for the
Sox, but then it is the fortune Of base
ball. and 1t only goes to show how the
Tigers fight for every game. Harris
passed ball was most unfortunate but
some Of the best backstops in the
world would have made slips of that
kind and everyone knows that Walsh
is not the easiest pitcher in the world
to handle There was Ty Cobb on
third watching for just such an op-
portunity and as he happens to be the
fastest man on bases in baseball he
easily scored the run that tied up
the score. But the loss OF the game
by a score of 6 to could not be
blamed all together on the young
catcher. Sam Crawford was TO blame
for putting a ball over the fence for
a homer in the sixth. and the Tigers
got eleven hits TO eight for the Sox
But the main fault came onto the
shoulders OF Jones and Comiskey who
allowed that trimmer Mcfarland to
keep Hart on the bench all the season,
and then when the pinch came along.
and Mac deserted the club Hart had
to go in without much experience or
practice Mcfarland did the same
thing last year and never should have
been kept on the team.

LUMBER TARIFFS.

The presence OF Deputy Marshall
schattner In the city serving papers
in the case of the lumber companies
against the railway companies Is a
matter of local Importance because
1t involves an effort to prevent the
conflscation of profits by an advanced
freight tariff which would result in
great injury to the numbering indust-
~. The lumbermen assert that
these rates are practically prohibitiye
and II their contention is true, the
railways are inflicting great Unjust
ice on this part of the country, be-
cause anything that affects the indus
try is felt by all the people. Lumber
ing Is one of our chief resources and
in this fight for reasonable freight
rates the lumber companies should
have the support Of the people.
