And, as of Old, is in Form
of Emancipation
Proclamation.
PLAYERS ARE SET FREE
The Three-Eye League Repeats
History Through Act of
Chairman Hermann.

History dating back half a
century in the struggle between
the north and south was re-
peated today in the Three Eye
league controversy between the
north and south. Chairman
Hermann of the NationalBase-
ball commission, weary of the
civil strife and anxious to end
it, followed the example of the
illustrious and immortal Lin
coin, in the heat Of conflict, and
issued an emancipation procla-
nation.
Mr.. Herrmann's edict is of
imm ediate effect and frees at
once all baseball players that
have been transferred to either
the Quincy or Decatur teams by
clubs in the Three Eye league.
The result will prove a distinct
loss to both the Springfield and
Bloomington teams that have
been transferring their surplus
players to the towns that are
seeking to force their way into
the Three Eye league even to
the point of breaking up the
union against which the south
is once more found in the atti-
tude Of rebellion.
While the Quincy injunction
is still a stumbling block, indi-
cations from that city are that
today's developments may bring
the Gem city to realization
that it is profiting not itself
by keeping in the breach that
is wrecking the league that has
been in existence for 10 years.
COMMISSION STEAKS.
Cincinnati, May 2.-The Ma
tional Baseball commission to-
Gay gave out the following no.
tice: The attention of the
national commission has been
called to various newspaper
publications wherein it is stated
shat certain clubs known as
southern clubs of the Three
Eye league are contemplating
transferring surplus players to
the Decatur, H., club, an indie
pendent team, and arranging
a series of exhibition games ,
with that team.
The transfer of players in
this manner is illegal and con-
trary to the provisions of the
national agreement and the
rules governing the national
commission. All players trans
ferred in this way are hereby
notified they are free agents. +

was not a criticism of the Commercial
Club, for The News has no criticism
of the club or of any work done by
the club tending to the upbuilding of
this section and the industrial pros
perity of Hattiesburg, however prone
the President and Secretary Of the
club are to claim to the contrary. The
club is a good thing and has done a
lot of excellent work, but the club did
not do good thing in bringing the
street fair to Hattiesburg last Deem
Der and we do not believe that the
club as a whole or any considerable
number of the members endorsed the
coming of that street fair, or endorsed
the fair itself with its attendant gamb-
ling devices.
Our criticism was simply against
street fairs. There is very little diff
ference in any of them. These at
fractions are not of a character to
bring people to a town, and if they
| depended on their so-called amuse-
ments for revenue, they would soon
quit business. 1t is the skin-game
features that bring in the money. Our
argument was against The CONNER
cial club bringing a street fair to Hat.
tiesburg for the Prosperity celebra-
ton, as was contemplated on the part
of the Secretary.
| The News is opposed to these street
] fairs on two grounds.
First.-From a moral standpoint.
Their skin games, their suggestive
shows and dances tend to pull down
the moral tone of people who go tc
| them.
Second.-From an economical and
industrial standpoint. They attrac
no trade and no people to the town
They simply rob the people and give
nothing in return.

Editor Daily News,
Hattiesburg, Miss.
Dear Sir:
In your reported interview with L.
c. Mays 29th instant, yon stated the
Street fair which was brought here
last Xmas under the auspices of the
Commercial club and ran it's dozen or
more skin games and gambling de-
vices until closed down by the off
GERS, would appear to have been suffi-
cient experience along this line.
was very much surprised at this state
ment and Immediately called Mr..
Mays up and asked him where he re-
ceived the information and he stated
that he did not give this information,
that it was furnished by The News.
| stated to Mr., Mays that there was
not word Of truth in the statement
and that a great injustice had been
done the Commercial club and I re-
quested him to call the attention Of
the paper to this fact and have cor
rection made. II seems Mr.. Mays
took this matter up with your Mr..
Farrell, business manager of The
News, who came to my office yester-
day evening about O'Clock and want
ed to know if desired the statement
corrected. told him it was my I'M
derstanding that a newspaper was ex-
pected to publish facts and when they
found they were in error, it was their
duty to make a correction; that l felt
an injustice had been done the Com
mercial club, and 1t was the papers
duty to make a correction.
Now find in your issue Both in
slant, instead of a correction being
made, the paper has made no effort
to right itself; you come out with a
double column notice with the head
lines stating:-NO MORE STREET
FAIRS SAYS PRESIDENT JACKSON.
I did not make this statement to Mr..
Farrell. neither own, control or
operate street fairs and have nothing
to do with their coming or their 60
ing. However, did state that per-
sonally, was opposed to Street fairs
of directors of the club were also OPP
posed to them. also stated that the
city expected so much of the Com
mercial club and the financial support
given the club was so Indifferent, that
in order to meet our obligations, not
withstanding we were opposed to
Street fairs, we had consented on one
OF two occasions to allow them to ope-
rate under the direction of the Com
mercial club.
You stated in yesterdays issue OF
your paper that this Street fair came
"Unbenow'nst to me-" did not make
this statement, as knew the fair was
coming and the Cluo selected the
Street fair that was to come with a
view OF getting the best and cleanest
show that was on the road.
The burden of our conversation was
not about Street fairs but along other
lines that do not deem necessary to
mention in this article.
1t looks like it is hard indeed for the
Daily News to give the Commercial
club any credit whatever. You could
have come out with a short notice
stating that the paper was in error
and that the Commercial club had
nothing to do with the show that was
raided and this would have been all
that was necessary.
trust you will give this article the
same prominence that you gave the
reported interview in yesterdays pa
per. Yours truly,
T. S. Jackson
