Some Class to Cornell Oarsmen

Grantland Rice In the Nashville Ten
nessean said the following concerning the
Barons after the first gone:
ANY one who figures the lowly Barons
are all to the pickle these thirsty days
needs new dope sheet. They played
the brand of ball Thursday that would
trim any old club, and the Volunteers,
as a home starter got 1t good and
plenty. The count stood to 0, which
about represents the way Messrs. Man
uel and cast overshadowed the rest of the
field. Moxie pitched swell ball, and his
pals backed him to a cream colored fin
ish. j. Duggan was hit hard and the
Volunteers couldn't score. In the face
of this combination, we fail to see what
the use.
1t was either an off-day for Johnny or
an on-day for the Barons. You can take
your pick, the facts in the case being
that they peppered him thirteen times
for tidy total of nineteen bases. Led
by the Three Musketeers, Messrs. Hen
line. sdolesworth and McGilvray. with
three safe volleys each, the pesky visitors
set off the fireworks In the opening round
and blazed away until sunset.
In the meanwhile Mr.. Manuel had the
rival cast packed away in a Chinaman' s
trunk. You know what that means. It's
a cinch boost for the Death Rate. and no
chance for the talent at any stage.
Moxie was the guy that upset Hub Per-
dues winning combination several fort
nights ago. and now he returns with the
same old line of stuff. When the Senior
is working right he is the very caramba
of a gent to beat-caramba meaning
in plain United States something about
twice as stout as hell" At no stage
of the battle could we break over the
Mexican frontier with any effect, taking

Hand 1t to our Turtles and to Charley
Babb. Memphis is now only four and one
half games behind Birmingham, and it 8
a cinch that the present clip will soon
enable Babb to say he's justified his
claim that the Barons will be passed by
July Is. When he made that claim Babb
added 1t might be as late as August l.
At the time Memphis was 10 games be-
hind Molesworth's squad. Now the Tur-
ties are only four and one-half games
back, a clean pickup of five and one-half
games. With Birmingham caught, Mem
phis will have two full months to get up
in the first division Turtles are now 141a
games behind Atlanta, leading. That
plight is not much worse than that of
New York in the National league. which
is In third place, and nine and one-half
games behind Pittsburg, In first. No one
is counting New York out of the race
yet, but the difference Is that the Ma
tional league season runs some two or
three weeks longer than the Southern
Memphis News cimitar.
Pitcher Bokenfohr, a local boy and a
promising young ball player yesterday
secured Manager Franks promise to be
given a chance. Boke pitched numberess
one-ht games against local semi-profes-
sional teams and also starred with the
Alexandria club in the Arkansas league
until Alexandria dropped out. The Fort
Smith people offered him berth, but as
Jack Auslot of Alexandria gave him his
release at the players request he decided
to come home.-New Orleans Picayune.
Many wondered why Manag ger Reed did
not work Fritz or Kitchen in yesterdays
game. According to local officials, here
is why: The player limit is liz men, Reed
had a. not counting two catchers who
arrived In Little Rock yesterday, there
fore there is but one vacancy. If he
signed both men he would violate the
player limit His idea was to watch both
Kitchen and Fritz work and then sign
the one whose work impressed him the
most-Mobile Register.

Nashville July Especial drumming
bases like a lot of startled deer and
shifting the ball like a mother-in-law,
the Nashvilles walked away from the
Barons in rather slow and dragging
contest today by the score of 7 to 4.
Twelve times did the local contingent
land on the curves dished across by
Fleharty some of the biffs counting for
a good many extra sacks, and although
Win Kelum was not allowed to leave
the park untouched by the wooden rod
he kept his hits scattered, his opposing
batters under control, and 1t was only
toward the last that the Barons con-
nected with any success.
The Champs gave an exhibition in base
running today which will remain long In
the memory of the local fan-fock Sell
dom, if ever, has the old guard sat in
the bleachers and witnessed a header
or more skillful exhibition of pilfering
sacks from the Baron pantry Leading in
this respect were Bay and Wiseman. each
of whom COPIED two.
In fielding, the work of the Volunteers
was not perfect, Noyes again bobbling
balls a couple of times, and East, Sea-
baugh and Butler also fluking. But the
two double plays executed during the
fracas by the trio composed of Tonne
man, East and Butler were classy.
Nashville made her tallies in the first,
second and ninth innings. In the first
Bay led off for two sacks and Wiseman
hunted and beat it out Wiseman stole
second. East hit to second and Bay was
out at the plate. Tonneman flied out.
East stole second, with Doc on third
F1eharty threw the ball away and Wise
man scored. East advanced to third.
Segel walked Then Seabaugh drove
beautiful one to left, scoring East and
Siegel
In the second Bay walked; Wiseman
also drew a pass Bay and Wiseman
pulled Off neat double steal East then
brought both in with bumper to right,
but was caught trying to make third
against the throw-in.
Noyes popped up in the eighth to Bow
en-, who did the slippery finger act and
dropped it. Kellum then put one to deep
center for three sacks, scoring NoyeS.
Bay grounded to Fleharty, who muffed,
and Kellum scored.
Birmingham moved along doggedly into
the sixth before the plate was crossed.
Then the team got together and scored
for three consecutive rounds. In the
sixth Raftis singled. Raub then drove
one for two bases and Raftis scored.
In the seventh ELAN opened up with
a long one to center for three sacks.
Henline made an infield hit and ELAN
scored on Buffers error of Bowen's
scorcher.
In the eighth Raub hit to Noyes, who
threw wild, Raub taking second on the
error Gygli advanced him with sim
gle McGilvray drove deep one to CEN
ter and Raub scored on the fly, Gygli
differing third. Gygli then scored ON Ell
lams long f1y-out to Siegel.

He then went to pieces.
Neither team played good ball. Kellum

CATCHING THIEVES.
Residents of Lake Bluff Have Enough
Alarms Provided

Chicago. Jan. 2o-Should a stranger
in Lake Bluff, which has recently been
the scene of many robberies, incur the
suspicion of any woman resident here
after-here is what will happen:
The woman will rush to a second
story window and fire five shots from
a revolver.
She will then begin to toot a tin
horn she has been instructed to buy.
Her women neighbors will open
windows and foot their horns until
there is a mile and a half of footing.
The man nearest the fire bell will
start it ringing and the church bells
will be rung.
By this time the town policemen
and new town bloodhound will be
rushing forth.
The daylight posse of forty men or
the night posse Of 100 will also leap
to activity.
The citizens committee lately form
ed has issued an elaborate list of in
structions as to the method of Quel1ing
the marauder and results are awaited
with interest.

for the settlement of the disputes be-
tween the United States and Venezue-
Ia, has been practically agreed upon by
W. l. Buchanan, the special commits
sIoner of the United States who came

purpose of composing the difficulties of
the two governments of the Gomez ad-
ministration. The protocol, in it's pres
ent form, provides for arbitration after

The final form of the protocol is
awaiting the consent of Secretary of
State Root to certain notifications in

Dodge, the local representative of the
Orinoco corporation, one of the claim
ants, has cabled the company to send
to Caracas, an attorney to aid him in
a settlement.

DISsECT THE BODIES.
Then Burn Them Is Part of Ritual Of
This Society.

Chicago January 2o.-The formation
recently among Bohemian residents of
this city of a cremation society has led
indirectly to the revelation of a med
ica1 secret of thirty-one years stand
ing.
A score of prominent physicians and
surgeons have admitted that they are
members of the Ustion fraternity, a
society having for it's object the dis
section of the bodies of it's members
after death and cremation of the re-
mains.
This weird fraternity is of national
scope. Secret chapters exist in New
York, Philadelphia, Boston. Cleveland,
Detroit and other cities in the east
Each chapter is known as a verte-
bra. The Chicago chapter being the
first organized is called the "prima
vertebra." Its high officer is known
as the "encephalon." the Greek word
for head. It's next highest officer is
the "Medulla." Its other officers are
named after other parts of the human
body.
The members OF the fraternity must
undergo a preparation or apprentice
ship of four years before they are adj
nitted to full knowledge of its weird
ritual.

MAKING DIRT FLY.
Progress of the Work on the Panama
Canal.

Washington. January 2o.-Americans
are truly making the dirt fly In the
work of digging the Panama canal.
During 1908 more than three-fifths of
the total amount of material taken out
since our government took hold of the
work was removed. The monthly aver
age of excavation during the last year
was substantially the same during the
rainy season as during the dry season,
showing that the heavy rains no longer
are a serious obstacle. Another fea-
ture was the reduction of the average
cost per cubic yard for excavation
from 81 cents to As cents, or about IS
per cent.
Since this government took up the
work. from May 4, 1904. to the close
of 1908, 59,773,179 cubic yards have
been excavated, of which 37,016,6 93
cubic yards were taken out during
1908. By the French companies ST.
$4,000 cubic yards were excavated-
From the appropriations for canal
construction the expenditures from
May 4, 1904, to October L, 1908, were
$50, 275,000.
OF this amount s51,512,0 900 was ex-
pended by the department of construc-
ton and engineering.
