Manager of Ross Building Team Re-
fuses to Stand for Postponement
of Game With Carterites.

Ross Building Baseball Association
Incorporated
Office of The Manager
Hattiesburg, Miss, June II, 1910.
Mr.. Tom Foote, Mgr.
sHattiesburg, Miss.
Dear SIR
Your representative, Mr.. %. A Wind
ham, was in to see us this morning
and, incidentally, asked that We do
you the favor to postpone tomorrow
(Saturday's) game. Have had the mat
ter up with our directors and they
agree with me. fully, in that it would
not be wise to play this game at a
later date. 1t is scheduled for tomor-
row at 4 p. m. and shall expect you
to appear. We, of course, feel sorry
for you and have realized from the
first, as you do now, that you have no
team and intended to Bluff" as u.s.
ual, but the matter has been allowed,
by you, to go too far. We have known
all the time that the streak of "Yel-
low would show up before the game,
but you were so insistent that we
finally gave in to you.
Now, come up and do the best you
can. The Dear" public expects but
little from you and won't be disap-
pointed at the result, which has never
been in doubt. Eastabuchie is, no
doubt, a nice place to go, especially
when there's dinner on the ground"
but you will have to cut it out this
time. Yours truly,
ROSS BUILDING BASEBALL ASSN.

Coon BASEBALL
IN COTTON STATES

Jackson, Miss, June 1.-THE Cot
ton States is playing a high-class
game, and several big league scouts
are down here to look the teams over.
Robert Gilks, for several years at the
helm in Shreveport, when that city
was in the Southern, has been follow
ing the Jackson team around for sew
eral days watching Graham, Flint and
other men perform.
Graham and Flint are the pick of
this circuit, but other teams have some
fast men, For instance, Tutwiler of
Hattiesburg is a conner, as is Boyd,
the centerfielder. Both are playing
fast game in the field, but Boyd is the
better hitter. Railing of Greenwood
is another infielder the scouts have
been watching, while Davis of Yazoo
is one of the most promising outfield-
ers in the circuit, though Bates, when
he is going right, is hard to beat.
Flint is unquestionably the most
promising youngster in this circuit.
He is a husky lad of feet l inch,
weighs 215 and is fast on his feet. He
covers lots of ground and has every
hing but experience. He is one of
the best natural hitters in the bust
ness, and all pitchers look alike to
him.
Hanna, Vicksburg's centerfielder, is
another fast man, who is destined to
move up next year, while Cox, play
ing left for Yazoo City, gives good
promise. These men have been play
ng a consistent game in all depart
nents, and it begins to look as though |
hey will all be bought up before the
lrafting season begins.
The Cotton States also has some
lever pitchers Among the beavers,

TELEPHONE SECRECY!

Are you a criminal that secrecy
should be held out to you as a bait?
Or it is assumed the people are so
silly that they will believe that the
telephone company has time, to say
nothing of reasons to hear the count
less thousands of conversations pass
ing over it's wires?
While no telephone system is abso,
lutely proof against eavesdropping if
some debased person on the inside set
about deliberately to accomplish such
a thing and could escape the surveil-
ance of others about the place, in
actual practice one telephone system
is as SECRET as another. If you
WANT secrecy, patronize us.

/ Sorrels Of Jackson is the best. He
formerly pitched for Nashville in the
Southern, but he is a better man to-
day than then.
McManus of Yazoo City and Wolf of
| Greenwood are also good men and
should move up next season, while
Eaton of Hattiesburg and Winges of
Meridian seem to be ripe for pluck
ing by some team higher up. Kidd
Of vicksburg has the speed and curves,

win, scout for the New York High
landers is here, while Padden of
Washington is due to arrive in a day
or two.
| Poshler of Jackson is one of the
fastest infielders in the league. He
has been hitting hard, but not getting
them safe as often as he might, but
is probably the best all round third
sacker in the circuit. He is due to
move up next season.
Bates, who led the league in hitting
for time, has had slump in batting
recently, but is beginning to pick up
again and will soon be among the
leaders again. He is fast man in all
departments, and should find Judgment
in Glass A league next season.
This is Flint's first year out, and
with experience he will make one of
the classiest first sackers in the game.
He is tall, has good reach, and can
hit anything he can reach. His only
batting weakness is the balls he can't
reach. He is hitting well up toward
375. Graham, his team mate, is not
far behind in hitting. Graham has
just begun to get his eye on the ball
recently, but has been boosting his
average at a terrific rate for several
days.
If Flint keeps the pace he has set,
he will easily lead the hitters of the
league, and is one of the best first
basemen in the circuit though he is
probably charged up with more errors
than the average man. But that is
because he goes after everything, and
does not care any more for errors
than if they didn't count
The teams are all well balanced
and the games are close and the sport
good. The attendance all over the cir
circuit is coed, and steadily improving
with each week. Hattiesburg, Merid-
ian and Vicksburg have frightened up
on the weak spots, and all are playing
classy ball. while Jackson, Greenwood
and Yazoo City are continuing the
strike they took early in the season.

A Protest From a Prominent
Farmers Union Man
Mr.. B. F. Ward, Jr, Editor Union
Advocate, Jackson. Miss.

Mr.. B. F. Ward, Jr., Editor Union
Advocate, Jackson, Miss.
Dear Sir:-I am very much sur
prised and astonished, and that be-
yOnd measure, at the attitude and
the course you have taken in regard
to the resolutions sent to you by
Ranking Local No. 447. You have
raised a great storm and created
tempest. Where there should have
been calm, instead of pouring oil
upon the troubled waters, you have
added fuel to the fire, and thus with
a little fire you have kindled a great
conf1agration. When I wrote those
resolutions, and carried them to our
Union meeting for Endorsement. I
had in view the case of our State
President, G. R. Hightower, last
year. You know what he was
charged with. He was charged with
receiving pay as State Senator, after
he had resigned, and was elected
President of our State Union also
he was charged with seeking the
Governorship of the State through
the Farmers Union, and tsus lead
the Farmers Union into politics, and
the Grenada Sentinel, our county pa
per (whose editor was member of
the Farmers UnionJ, was among the
first that began the circulation of
those charges. SO President High
tower wrote me himself, and I have
his letter yet. Now, Brother Ward,
suppose our State President had done

All Are COwards Who Desert
Farmers Union

Dear Friend:-I want to say to
the Union brothers that to desert
the Union now is cowardice. We are
needing good, true men now more
than ever: men that will fight for
the right, and never surrender, but
die for the principles that we
espouse. 1t is always darkest just
before day, and we will have a new
day after the June Convention.
Tell the Coffee County boys to
hold to their Union principles. All
men are not Lees, and we have some
men who are willing to do to others
as they wish others to do to them.
and are willing for us all to become
educated, in order that we may not
be enslaved.
We can not free ourselves from
the power Of trusts and monopolies,
if we only let those who favor such
things teach us, and that behind
closed doors. We are of all men the
most miserable if we submit to that
kind of an education Brethren,
arise in your strength and demand
your liberty. Ours is an education
al Union, and that does not mean
that we must shut our eyes and stop
our ears to everything but what our
would-be bosses would have us
know. If the charges brought
against some of our officers, by re-
sponsible man, are false, why don't
they come out and deny them in the
open? 1t shows cowardice not to
do so, and rascality to slip around
and ask us not to believe these
things.
Mr.. Watson, don't hold up, but
keep on telling us what is going on
in the world, for we appreciate your
friendship. Ever your friend,
J. G. JORDAN.

Dear Mr.. Tom Watson:- am
proud and thankful that we have
such a man as you are, with the
nerve to contend for our rights
Brother Watson, keep ripping up
this Foreign Mission question. Show
them up in their true form. Show
up Duckworth and the rest of the
traitors that have crept into the
Farmers Union. I am President Of
Tom Creek Local No. 1910. I am
proud Of the fact that you have put
the boys on notice of the dirty work
done in the corner. I had the priv
ilege of meeting Duckworth one time
in our county meeting. He had
two-by-four lawyer with him named
Drake. We took up the room word
and found all O. K. but Drake; the
conductors turned in their report,
found all in possession of current
room word but Drake. Duckworth
said, "This fellow is all right. )"
saw at once that Drake was fish
eater. You have shown Duckworth
and the, rest of the bunch all the
courtesy a. man need to show. [ am
with you for square deal, that is
all we want.
My father has been a strong ad-
vocate for true reform for fifteen
years and has voted for you every
time you were in the field. A. L.
Brown, my father, has five boys and
all are Watson's friends.
Brother Watson, keep up the good
work, we will win bye and bye.
