LOWNDES COUNTY
 BUILDING ROADS
J. M. Block Ships Fine Cattle-All Conditions Are Against
 Cotton Crop

Fort Deposit, September 6.-(Special.)- If the good work continues, Lowndes county will soon have as good public roads as any of her sister counties. The work, under the supervision of Glenn Coleman. an experienced roadman, is pro- gressing nicely, especially the road that leads to Mt. Willing, Braggs, and other places southwest. To put this road in It's present perfect condition has required large amount of labor and expendi- ture of money. Many deep cuts through hills and fills in deep ravines had to be made. The roads are being utilized by automobilists and others.
 Many prominent planters are using their own teams grading and working pri- vate roads through their plantations, which intersect these graveled roads. This enables them to reach the market with their farm products more easily and di- rectly.
 A fine load of beef cattle was shipped from here to New Orleans yesterday by J. M. Black, prominent planter of Lowndes county These cattle were raised on the plantation of MT. Black. and are conceded by all who saw them to be the best ever shipped from here. About ten cars have been shipped from this point this season.
 The heavy daily rains are causing much damage to the cotton in this section. Where the foliage is thick the bolls are rotting before they mature. On the sup- lands the open cotton becomes water soaked, falls on the ground where the seed sprouts and ruins the class of the staple With the enemies of cotton. such as lice, black wilt, caterpillars, boil worms, rain and windstorms making cot ton around Fort Deposit seems to be an uphill business this year.

KNOCKOUT BROWN and
MATT WELLS TO meet
New Yorker Will Battle With
English Champ About J
May 80

Managers Dan Morgan and McDon-
aid representing Knockout Brown, the
New York lightweight, and Matt
Wells, lightweight champion Of Eng
land. respectively, argued long and
earnestly yesterday. The occasion for
the argument was the matching Of
Brown and wells. Everything was
satisfactorily arranged except the
weight, and it was on this proposition
that the argument was based. No
definite date was set for the battle,
but it was agreed that the pair should
meet at the Twentieth Century A. c.
in New York on or about May 80.
Mcdonald, for Wells, demanded that
the weight be 135 pounds at 1 o'clock
in the afternoon on the day of the
fight. Morgan held out for 1873 pounds
at 5. Then began the inevitable ar
gument and the inevitable concessions.
At the end of the argument it was
settled that the weight should be 1873
pounds at O'Clock, although McDon-
aid declared that he was not sure
that Wells would agree to this weight.

CONVICTION ONLY
PITCHER TO BALK
Detroit Recruit Has Unique Re-
cord Among Jennings
Leaders

Detroit, May 10.-Tex Covington has
the distinction of being the first Ii
ger twirler to make a balk in two
years. If Covey makes another balk
he will equal the league record for
1910.
There were ten balks in the Ameri-
can league last season. Ed Walsh,
the spit ball trust of the White Sox
was the champion baker Ed had
two to his credit. Eight other hurl-
ers had one apiece. Not a Tiger
HEAVIER was included in the also balk-
ed.
Walsh, with his peculiar movement
to first base, constantly makes mo-
ton as near to a balk as a pitcher
can move without making one. If
Walsh is the least bit awkward it's
likely to make one but few umpires
ever really catch him at it. Walsh
had probably ten Of then last year,
but only pair went on records.
The others who baked: Ford and
Warhop of the Highlanders; Groom
and Gray Of the Senators; Arcilanes
and Collins of Boston; Dygert of the
Athletics and White of the White Sox.

to the care free baseball fan there is
no sweeter music than the merry
swish of the base hit. The rooters
who dotted the bleachers at Newfield
yesterday enjoyed themselves hugely
because the game was nothing but one
long hit after another. And McCann's
boys were doing the lambastfng. They
clouted so freely that Bill Luby's
Northampton bunch went down to de-
feat by s to 2.
A tall, light haired gent named
Barry was the goat of the occasion.
He decorated the mound for North
ampton and his delivery yielded 13
hits. including four doubles and two
triples. Barry formerly pitched for
the Boston Americans and also for

a double and two singles, Lou Litschi

HARVARD MAY
ROW IN ENGLAND
Henley Regatta Stewards Change
Their Rules - New COndi
tons Will Permit Harvard
and Yale to Compete

Although Oxford declined to accept
HarVard's challenge to meet the Grim
son in an international rowing race,
Harvard and Yale will be able to row
at Henley this year if they so desire.
According to a dispatch from London,
the stewards of the Henley regatta
have decided to make an exception
in the rules this year. The change
will allow Harvard and Yale to COM
pete for the Grand Challenge Cup. If
either Yale or Harvard decide to send
crew on to London, the Americans
will meet Magdalen and Jesus colleges.
In the race will also be crews from
Ottawa and Argentina.
The announcement that provisions
will be made to allow American crews
to compete at Henley is welcomed by
college oarsmen here. Whether Har-
ward or Yale will accept the invita-
ton Is a matter of uncertainty. Har-
ward wanted to meet Oxford in an in
ternatfonal race. but it is not known
whether the Johnnies are willing to
go abroad and compete against the
English crews. However, there is a
good chance of Harvard's competing,
as the Crimson and Yale track ath-
letes are to compete abroad in an in
ternationa1 meet with Oxford and
Cambridge in July. Yale's position
in the matter is not known.
