Only About Half of the
Baseball Stock Yet
Taken.
K.I.T.HANGS IN BALANCE
Hopkinsville May Not Be In
The New League After
All.

The FIVE committees headed by
Frank Hoge, W. M. Hancock, Stone
wall Morris, M. E. Bacon and John
Sites have been canvassing the city

the stock necessary to put Hopkins
vile into the K. |. T. Baseball
League. 1t is proposed to issue
SO, 200 of stock and up to yesterday
only half of it had been taken in
blocks of from one share to 10
shares. 1t will take S2,400 to guar
antee the $500 salary roll for three
months and the rest is needed to
equip Mercer Park for the games.
The park will be in the heart of
town and a big attendance can be
confidently expected at every game.
The money must be made up this
week and the final report tonight
will tell the tale Of league ball for
this year. Some have subscribed
literally, but others are slow to take
hold of what will be a frst-class ad-
vertisement for Hopkinsville in
many ways. If you have been over
looked, call up any of the commit
teemen named and take some stock,
the more the better, If you have
subscribed only one share, double
up and help to make sure that Hop
kinsville will be in the league.
1t is reported that Madisonville
has fallen down in raising the money
and Owensboro is ready and anxious
to get in as the sixth town. Padu.
eah, Henderson, Vincennes and
Clarksville are sure goes. 1t is now
up to Hopkinsville to qualify. Will
you help do it?

Fishing With Cormorants.

On the banks of the river va we
saw many Chinese cormorant fishers
with their birds, which are very tame
and intelligent When fishing a piece
of grass is FIRST tied round their throats
to prevent them from swallowing the
fish, and they are afterward turned
into the water. The small fish they
can easily manage to bring back to the
boat, but when they find large speci-
men it sometimes needs the co-opera-
ton of two or three Of the birds to
land 1t safely on their masters boat.
In this river the fishermen often catch
the great saamander huge newt or
water lizard, which sometimes reaches
a length of ten to twelve feet and
whose flesh is much appreciated by
the Chinese. Wide World Magazine.

and it was this fact which gave the
market its negative strength and

Depressing effect was exerted by
the fresh show of strength in the
wheat markets especially tnose in
the northwest Renewed reports of
bad spring wheat conditions poured
into the market, increased attention
being given to the Canadian situa-
ton This was responsible for spec

The squirt in cotton added to the IN

exemption of new crop futures in cot

The demand for Amalgamated Cop.

accompanied by rumors of better
ment in the copper trade situation
and by the recovery in the price of
copper in London.
The Pennsylvania railroad labor
situation weighed on the market, al
