"Hardluck Tom" Clark of the Racycle
club, on the Gardena diamond, finally
captured game of ball from, Gardena,
the leaders of the Southern state
league, by the score of 8 to 4. The
able coaching of Catcher Finley and

support of the team, enabled the
Racycles to escape from the cellar
championship of the league. Boyer, in
center garden, made a beautiful one
handed catch, which, if muffed would
have meant disaster for the winners.
Daniels made a pretty catch of a pop
fly back of the pitchers box. Gabe
did some fine heaving for Gardena, al
lowing only four hits. Clark twirled
good ball himself, allowing only five
hits and tanning nine of the country

Owing to the fact that Manager
Thomas of the Woodill-Hulse team was
short of players, through the permis-
sion of President George Reeves, the
Directories team was sent to play the
San Pedro club of the Southern State
league, and came home with a to
scalp dangling to their belt. The Direc-
tories simply played rings around the
beach team. Dutch Hoffman, for the
winners, played a star game. Crow
ley, for the winners, twirled a heady
game and was well supported at crit
ieal stages, when the bags were full,
by exceptionally fast fielding. Whalen
was the star player for the seasiders
and scored the only run for his club

An appointments as delegate from

vention of THE Lakes-to the Gulf
Deep Waterway Association" Nov.
1926 was bestowed upon We editor,
thanks to Hon. Chas. Scott, who is
a high ranking officer in the govern
Ing council of that association. 1t
was out of the question tor us to at
tend but our heart was with the
brethren while they met and radia-
ted out over the land, the necessity
for this grand project. Fourteen
foot water in the Mississippi from
Chicago to New Orleans is no Chin
era and is bound to come, and will
be wise employment of a portion
of the national revenue on internal
improvements. The cost Of main
tanning levees will be materially re-
duced when that depth of water is
maintained in the majestic Misslss-
ippi, for the filling up of sand etc.,
in the bottom of the stream that
causes the raising of the levee walls
from year to year, will be largely Oh.
waited. The immense advantages that
will accrue to all the country in the
way Of cheap transportation can
hardly be estimated.

The Tishomingo Co. Paragraph
is a new arrival to our exchange ia
BILE. Its published at Iuka, the home
town of our old friend, Mr.. J. j.
Chambers. We trust that it will
keep us posted on the news up that
way after which our heart doth pant.
We notice that it favors the Iniative
and Referendum for Mississippi,
which our state has already in part,
and which enlarged will be but more
democratic, as it takes out of the
hands of the Legislature and puts in
the hands of the people direct, much
of the law-making and approving.
Gradually introduced, we see no rea-
son why the l. & R. principle should
not prove benificient addentum to
our scheme of state government. Too
violently adopted as the Socialists
vainly advocate, it would perhaps
but poorly serve the great purposes
for which it is contrived. The people
of this country are that conservative
as to oppose too many radical chan
ges in their system OF government
all at once as that puts them in the
class of innovations.

The Grand Jury of Forest County,
sitting at the same time our Court
was held here. were shocked to find
that brutal whippings had been prac-
ticed by the guards over the County
Convict Gang. the bloody marks of
which cruel lashes were exhibited by
some of the unfortunate victims Of
the guards wrath and scourge. A
moderate amount Of corporal pun
ishment is allowed in working con-
victs, but no such outrageous appli-
cation of the stripes as those found
to exist in our neighbor county,
should as their Grand Jury has very
correctly and pertinently said "be
tolerated." In the selection and
watchcare of the guards of county
convict gangs, too much care can't
be exercised to see that they are hui
name in their management of the
unfortunates committed to their
keeping. The Herald trusts that no
such accusation will ever ring out a.
gainst the watchmen over Greene
County's Convict Gang, but we must
ever be on the alert, and not let such
an abuse of authority creep up on US
unawares, as it brings certain
measure of disgrace on the social u
nit in which it develops.
