|HATTIESBURG
Will CELEBRATE

Tomorrow is the GLORIOUS Fourth"
and there will be a general observa-
tion of the day in Hattiesburg.
The stores, the banks, the postoffice
and pearly every concern in the city
will take a day off.
1t is thought likely that the civil
term of circuit court will practically
adjourn this afternoon, that is that the
jurors will likely be dismissed so that
they can go home and be with their
families. Judge Cook may be on hand
to make the usual orders after the ad-
journment of court, if such is found
to be necessary.
Coming ON Saturday those who have
to work will have one day for enjoying
the occasion and another, Sunday, for
rest and worship.

GRIFFITH RESIGNS
HIS MANAGERSHIP

PHILADELPHIA. June 25.-Clark Crit
fifth, manager of the New York American
League club has resigned. His resigna-
ton took effect last night. President Far
rell of the club had not appointed man
ager for the team at that time. although
Jake Stahl or Elberfeld will likely act as
manager until a permanent successor to
Griffith is chosen.
President Farrell would not talk upon
the matter, but Clark Griffith admitted
that he had resigned. He said:
Yes. | have resigned. ! called Mr..
Farrell on the phone this morning ana
told him of my determination. l have
been DESTROYS of reSigning for some time.
1 met Mr.. Farrell today and =! told him

that rea son / wished to resign as man.
ager and make way for some one who
may be more successful than have been
There is no soreness between Mr.. Far
rell and myself and we part the best of
friends Mr.. Farrell told me he did not
wish me to leave. but l insisted and SO
the matter ended.
Il had become disguised and felt that
some other person should take the helm
Mr. Farrell did not tell me who that per
son would be. / had hard luck with the
team last year. and this year things are
again going wrong. Players have been
out Of the game and my pitchers nave
not rounded into form as they should. and
l felt that 1t was time for me to get out.
Clark Griffith became prominent; in base
ball during his career a pitcher for the
Chicago National club. He Joined AnSons
team in 1894 and during the next six years
was one Of the most successful pitchers
in the game. When the American League
expanded in 1901 Griffith jumped the Chi
cago Nationals and became manager of
the Chicago American League team. with
strange assortment OF players made up
of relics Of half a dozen teams. jumpers
from the National League. including JIM
my Callahan. Sandow Mertes and Fielder
Jones, the team, under Grifhth's leader
ship, won the American League pennant
When the Americans invaded New York
city in 1893 Griffith was chosen to man
age the Highanders. Frank Farrell. the
owner Of the club. has since that time
given Griffith free rein in regard to Sc
curing players and managing the team
In 1903 the Highlanders finished fourth
In 1904 they lost the pennant by the mar
row margin of points. being nosed out
Of Jimmy Collins.
In 1905 the team again finished second
this time to the Chicago White Sox.
1t was thought that the trades Grithth
put through would help the HlghlanderS
this season. They began we'll. leading In
the race until the team started on its
western trip. Since then they have won
only four games In eighteen played
There have been many rumors in circu-
lation for the past few days that there
would be a change in the management Of
the HighlanderS. For that reason the
shake-up of yesterday was not unexpect-
ed. Several managers have been spoken
of as the successors of Griffith, among
them Billy Murray of the Phillies and
George Stall;ngs of the Newark Eastern
League club. Certain it is that the team
has the ability to win. and thousands OF
loyal .rooters are hoping for better luck.
