Columbus DemoraIized.

Columbus, Miss. May 6.-(Special)-The visitors had everything their way rom the start The locals were demorallzed and dumb playing in the first inning seemed to make them worse. Blankney did not allow hit up to the sixth in- ming. Two hits for one base each and a passed ball gave the locals their only score. If errors had been runs, the Discov- erers would have done well. The present lineup is one which the fans do not like. They long for Marshall on first. Some thing different from that today will have to be done or slump in the percentage of the Discoverers will soon be noticed Score k. F.

1t is hard luck that the rain has spoiled the Barons' chances to win some games at home.
 When game after game was lost on the road the enthusiastic fan trusted that when the Barons returned home some results would be on the right side of the ledger.
 But the rain has spoiled an opportunity. Nashville gets off with an even break for it is a practical certainty that the Barons will win today.
 There was no change in the local sit uation yesterday. Gene Demont reported to the park in the afternoon, although it is probable that he would not have played had there occurred game.
 Steve Reagan will play shortstop this afternoon and Raub will go to right field. Holmes, the new Baron catcher, will make his first appearance behind the bat

 Mobile, with Gordon Hickman in the box scored victory over the Memphii and Charlie Franks New Orleans Peli- cans were able to win out over the Little Rock Travellers in ten innings.
 The Mobile Memphis game was full or features. In the first place, Pitcher Hick- man accepted ten fielding chances and is credited with half a score of assists. In the second place. First Baseman Hart made 20 of the 27 put-outs. This Is doubt less due to the fact that the Memphii were unable to hit Hickn-ans benders out ct the diamond. Another feature of the game was the home run swat of Charlie Babb

street Turned Back TO City by the
Board of Park Commits
~Rioncrs.

The Park board has decided to abandon
L~eavenworth street as a boulevard from
to Forty-eighth street and transfer
1t to the city as a street. The fact Is the
street was assigned to the Park board as
a boulevard that 1t might be paved at
county expense, the law prohibiting the
county from spending money for the pave
ment of city streets, but allowing money
to be appropriated for h~oulevards. This
was done in the case of L~eavenworth street
and now that it is paved as a boulevard 1t
will become a street.
The well which is being bored at River
view park has reached a depth OF $50 feet
and is going still deeper.

DUB'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Notable Increase in Number Of Wage
Farmers Employed.
MANY MILLS ARE REOPEN1EG
one Of the Best Features oi
the weeks News Is the De-
mand for Railroad
Supplies.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2L-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review Of trade tomorrow will say:
Although the holiday and unreasonable
weather handicapped business this week,
further substantial progress was made
toward normal commercial activity, espe-
cially in respect to the number of wage
earners employed in the leading industrials.
Mills that have been closed for over a
year are reopening and many plants that
were on part time or force are now in full
opera.ion. Recovery is making remarkable
strides and almost every comparison with
conditions a year ago provides n reason for
ne day devoted 20 grateful recognition.
One of the best features OF the week
was the demand for railway supplies. Steel
rails were ordered moderately and many
leading roads are ready to operate " the
mills will roll according to special sched-
ules at standar price.
A little increase In sales of standard
drills to India is the only development In
the export department, the decline in price
OF silver postponing the expected improve
ment in demand from China while Red sea
buyers refuse to advance bids to current
figures.
