BASE BALL
Big Leagues Started Thursday-Texas
League Season Opened Friday.

Thursday saw the opening of all ma
jor league base ball. The American
National and Southern leagues were
opened before immense crowds. Gin
cinnati, Rittsburg, Brooklyn and Boston
were. winners in the National, while
Washington, Cleveland and Chicago
were victorious in the American New
York and Boston played tie, In the
Southern League Mobile, Montgomery
Atlanta and Memphis won their opening
games. President Taft opened the sea-
son in Washington by throwing the first
ball It was the first time on record
where President threw the first ball.
He remained until the last man was out
and seemed to greatly enjoy the game.
Besides President Taft and wife, Vice
President Sherman and other notables
were present Pitcher Johnson of the
Washington club pitched mastery
game, allowing only one hit and shut
ting out Philadelphia 3 to 0. An inn
mense crowd witnessed the game.
The Texas League played only one
game Friday and that was won by Dali
las 8 to 2.
Harry Mcintyre will wear Chicago
uniform this season and is expected to
have a good year. Mcintyre is a great
twirler and last year lost many game
by one run on account of the inability
of his teammates to hit the ball, and
also errors made at critical time of the
game. He has been with the Brooklyn
team for FIVE full seasons. He has
played with Memphis and Shreveport
when they were in the Southern League.
While he was with Shreveport he did
good work, but was sick most of the
time and was not able to show his abil-
ity He also did fine work for Memphis,
from whom he was secured. Both he and
the Cubs are delighted that he viii play
with them this year and are sure that
with a good team back of him he will
have long string of victories.
The High School team has organized
for the season and will be composed of
the following players: Gown Braswel1,
pitcher and second base; Jim Nicholson,
pitcher; Tinsley Gilmer, short; Frank
Wi1ited, third Franl, Dugey, first base;
Dick Gamblin, left; Ben Mathews, cen
ter; Allen Graves, right; Louie Levy,
catcher and captain. The manager OF
the team is Jerome Ferguson, one OF
our most promising young athletes He
has good record as an athlete and he
viii no doubt have winning team.

ton by the engineers of the Unitec
States and that Texas street was finally
accepted with favor as being the best
site offered
The bridge situation has been re-
duced to simple issue. 1t is bridge
at the foot of Texas street or no bridge
and therefore it is the rankest of non
sense to waste time or words in dwell
ing on Lake street as a site for the
bridge
At the session of the Council held
Tuesday several bids were offered for
the construction of the bridge, some bids
being for the piers and others for the
superstructure, each bid being on the
basis of cash or its equivalent.
1t must now deolve on the City of
Shreveport and the authorities of Bos-
sier Parish to reach practical business
conclusion which will secure the con
struction of the bridge at the earliest
date possible. 1t is impossible to over
estimate the importance of this bridge.
1t is true that the City of Shreveport has
a one-seventh interest in the Vicksburg,
Shreveport and Pacific bridge, but how
is the City of Shreveport with Bossier
Parish connected to derive their portion
of this bridge should the railroad deter
mine on It's remodeling or i'll the con
struction of new bridge over which
would be eliminated the traffic for pc
destrians and for vehicles?
Such a possibility may become actual
at no distant day, and then in what pre-
dicament would Shreveport and Bossier
Parish be left?
This is no idle fancy nor the vaporing
of the mind. Such change in the
Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific
bridge is not only possible and probable,
but it is dictated by good business sense
and has already been forecasted by men
who keep abreast Of the times.
Instead of knocking" the bridge, as
some of the citizens of Shreveport
seemingly have delighted in doing. there
should be getting together, pulling
together by every citizen who having
some pride in the community III secur-
ing the construction of the bridge
The question is not whether we like
Dickson or whether we do not like him /;
nor is it "Im against the bridge because
Bill Jones wants it," The proposition
is direct We must have the bridge. We
can not progress without the bridge.
Bear in mind that if we should fail to
become active in the construction of the
bridge at this time and without delay,
we may lose the opportunity which may
not be available for years to come.

SBTLBo THE scApEGoAT.

The New Orleans States says While
we have no particular sympathy to
waste over Senator Bilbo, who created
such rumpus in the Mississippi Legis-
lature by his bribery charges. yet re-
flecting men can not avoid the conclu-
sion that it win require something more
than the censure or the expulsion of
Bilbo to restore the shattered confidence
OF the people of Mississippi in those who
have dominated the present session of
the State Legislature.
Probably Bilbo ought to be fred for
being an ass, but the men who are re-
sponsible for the disgraceful conditions
in the General Assembly, of which Bilbo
is a symptom, are deserving of even
more censure than he When in the eff
fort to defeat one candidate, the major
ity of the Legislature resorted to the Sc
cret balolt, the very things that hap
pened were not only made possible but
inevitable; for there can be no expana-
ton of the secret ballot method other
than to enable men to betray their con-
stituencies without being found out. 1t
is scarcely probable that the Legislature
will successfully appease the public dis
satisfaction with its course by merely
throwing Bilbo out to the hungry wolves
of factional passion. The disease is
fundamental, hence mere surface treat
nent can but intensity it.

for the arrest of members of the Eaton
ball team Sunday afternoon, for vio-
lation of the Sunday baseball law, a
game was played with the Easy Task
team of Dayton, and was devoid of in
by the Preble county Sunday school
association. The reason for the privi-
lege is said to have been because the
management OF the local team had not
!. been sufficiently warned and because
arrangements had all been made and
expenses OF the game already incurred.
Next Sunday, however, arrest of the
violators is promised

The game Sunday afternoon was won

tween the city and the factory when

sides this morning, the board directed

BY losing the custom of the Seeding
Machine company. the revenue from

Refused to Accept Plan of
Riding Past Roosevelt in
Grand Review.
ARE NOT ROMAN SLAVES
(American News Service)

San Antonio, Tex, June 13.-Though
Colonel Roosevelt be great and at
present the cynosure of all eyes, royal
and others, in Europe, he is not great
enough to have 500 Texas women file
past him in review. Be this under
stood.
To the man who guides the destin-
les of the Texas Prosperity club, it oc-
Cured that 500 Texas lassies and ma
irons clothed in conventional cow
girl costume and mounted on the real
thing in COW ponies and filing past Ted
dy's reviewing stand in New York,
would mean a tremendous advertise
ment for the state and its resources.
But to the women it occurred that it
would do nothing of the kind and that
the grand, old Lone Star state, would
thereby merely proclaim itself the
home of the melodrama.
Now the game is off. and an idea
that really had some originality If ap-
piled to a hippodrome or three-ring
circus has been spurned with all the
wrath COLLECTIVELY of women is capa.
BILE Of expressing.
Why" said one of the most prom
inent women in this city. that man
must think that the world, since Mr.
Roosevelt left this country, has been
moving backwards. Texas women
ride in triumphal procession of a
plain American or any other man for
that matter? Never. To have some
of us dance before the hero's chariot
and others strew his path with flowers
must have been overlooked by the or
iginator of this silly plan, for only then
| would the homecoming of the feted
Colonel resemble the return to Rome
of Caesar. There isn't a man big
enough in all this world to make Texas
women honor him in such fashion
It's wonder that somebody hasn't
thought of Hero Hobson's kissing bee

TEXAS WOMEN BALk JOHNSON TOTES GUN
Black Champion Has Bad Case
of "Nerves" as Result
of Troubles.
HIS CAMP QUITE UNEASY
(American News Service)


San Francisco. June 13.-Jack John
sons troubles with managers and 9TH
ers, together with his training, has
given him such a bad case of nerves
that he goes around carrying an ugly
looking revolver and while he sleeps
two men each armed, guard the two
entrances to his room.
Johnson does not say anything con-
corning the carrying of the weapon
and all about his camp are conjured
to silence.
Johnson was walking around in his
room when the butt end of the weap-
on was seen protruding from his
pocket Someone advised that he COW
err it up and he drew his sweater low
enough to conceal it, without uttering
a sound.
There seems to be an air of uneasi-
ness about the camp but it is not
known that any threats of personal
violence have been made against the
colored fighter.
Little, since his dismissal as boss
of the colored camp, has been mingl
ing freely with the fighting element
here and has made many sour grape
threats. 1t may be that some of these
have been carried to Johnson who
fears his former manager is sincere
1t is also assumed by some that these
reports have been magnified by those
who believe themselves humorous
not knowing the nervous condition OF
Johnson.

Magnesium SuIphate Injec-
tons Into Spine Stopped
the Disease.
TREATMENT WAS NEW ONE

Philadelphia. June l.-Cured of
the first time in this CITY. twelve-year-
old John Smith. of 4s3 North FELTON,
street, was discharged frcm the West
Philadelphia Homeopathic hospital
yesterday. He was in the hospital
eight weeks. and when first admitted
it was thought he could not live more
than few hours.
The treatment used in effecting the
cure was first advocated by German
physician several months ago. 1t has
New York and Baltimore. 1t consists
of injections of magnesium sulphate
in conjunction with the anti-toxin
treatment.
These injections are made into the
spinal column. where the fluid reach
es the nerve center. relieving the vio-
lent spasms which usually cause
death. In the case of the Smith boy.
forty drops of magnesium sulphate
We're injected at time.
Case Attracts Attention.
Doctors all over the state have
watched the progress of the case with
interest. 1t is probable that the treat,
ment will now be adopted in lockjaw
cases by all the hospitals in city and
state.
While playing about {. stable nine
weeks ago the Smith boy stepped on
a rusty nail. He was at first treated
for rheumatism, but when his right leg
became stiff he was taken to the West
Philadelphia Homeopathic hospital
After his admittance his jaws became
rigid.
For two days the anti-toxin treat
ment was used. but this did not have
the desired effect. and when it ap
peared as though the disease would
prove fatal. it was decided to try the
new treatment. Drs. Charles Fox and
William c. Pierce took charge of the
case and administered the magnesium
sulphate.
Doses Gradually Decreased,
AS they employed the magnesium
injection they gradually decreased the
doses of anti-toxin, until the fifth day
when they discontinued it altogether
On this day the boys jaws relaxed
and his system was comparativel!
strong.
Injections of choral hydrate ant
sodium bromide were then given tn,
patient. Every four hours, during /;
period of four days, he was given eigh
grains of choral hydrate, and fort,
grains of sodium bromide
On the ninth day medicine was dis
| continued altogether. Until yesterda!
the boy was closely watched by tn,
physicians for the return of pain o
symptoms. None appearing, they con
cluded that a permanent cure ha,
been effected.
