CAN'T fLIR7
With LEAGUE
States She Must Be Repre-
scented Saturday.

Special to The NetCS.
Jackson, Miss, Dec. 9.-The opinion
seems to prevail among the baseball
followers at Meridian that they can
defer action until after the holidays on
the question of applying for fran
chise in the Cotton States League.
1t can be stated with authority that
unless Meridians application for a
franchise is submitted at a meeting
OF the league representatives in New
Orleans, that city will not have pro-
fessional ball during the season of
1910.
In word, it is the purpose of the
league promoters to finally perfect Or
ganization at Saturdays meeting, eth
er with a six or eight-team circuit,
and if Meridian is not willing to come
in at that time she will be left out
in the cold.
The same applies to Gulfport, Mon
roe, Alexandria and other towns that
have been flirting with the PROPOSE
ton. They must make up their minds
b fore Saturday what they are going
to do, or they will not have an oppor-
tunity to do anything. The invita-
tons to join the circuit will expire
with the converting of the New Or
leans meeting, and unless two other
towns have representatives on hand.
and in readiness to put up the forfeit
of $500, a six-team league will be de-
clared.

FIRE DEPARTMENT
DID fine WORK
During Conflagration Which Destroyed
Cottage on Mabel Street Early
This Morning.

A splendid piece of work by the
Hattiesburg fire department was ac-
complished this morning during the
conflagration which destroyed a cot
tage belonging to George L. Pace, on
Mabel street.
Although the Pace cottage was a
total loss, the alarm having been
turned in too late for the department
to reach the scene in time to save it,
some extraordinarily rapid and effect
i've work was necessary in order to
prevent destruction of adjacent prop
erty.
When the department reached the
scene of the fire, the walls of the
building had already collapsed, and no
time was lost in an effort to save ad-
jacent property. One house, which
was located only a few feet from the
burning house, was badly scorched by
the heat, and Fire Chief Potter, while
bringing hose to action on this build
ing, sustained painful burns about the
face and hands, so intense was the
heat. The building was saved, the
damage being very slight.

pectant attitude to-day pending the
conference scheduled at New York by
District Manager c. A. Robinson, of
the Aetna Standard Mills of the Amer
lean Sheet and Tin Plate Company and
the officials of the United States Steel

be the operation of the plant as non.

the former event it is feared trouble
will result, as the union men, all mem
bers of the Amalgamated Association

now struggling for the life of the or.
