MORE DAMAGE IS
 RESULT OF RAINS
HEAVY RAINS ARE DOING MUCH DAMAGE yN VARIOUS SEC
 TONS OF THE STATE.
Reports Show lowlands Are Over flowed and Planting Operations
 Are at a Standstill.

Little Rock.-Reports from various sections of the state show that the recent heavy rains have damaged what crops are in the ground and de. layed all planting. Lowlands have been overflowed, and it will be sey. sumed. In most sections, little cot. ton has been planted. and what has been planted is not expected to come up. Much of the country around Jonesboro, Pine Bluff, Newport Ashdown and other sections is under water, and the lands that by this time of the year should have growin crops on them are not in condition to be planted, and it will probably be two or three weeks before planting hood of Philadelphia the damage has been great and planting has been de layed It is estimated by planters that the cotton crop will be about onethird short this year as a result of the excessive rains.
 In Phillips and adjoining counties. farmers are very much discouraged at the prospects of getting their crops planted in time to secure an average yield. All streams and bayous are out of their banks, and much of the lands are covered uith water. The rainfall in the viCil If Marked Tree has been over 10 inoaes for the month of April. In the rice sections of the state it is reported that about one fourth of the crop has been planted. while the balance has been delayed on account of the excessive rains.
 Farmers around Texarkana report that crops have already been dam. aged and that greater damage will result if the rains do not cease.
 It Is reported from Brinkley that the rainfall has been excessive, but there is no way as yet to estimate the damage. All farming operations around Marion, it Is reported, are at standstill Planting is suspended and seeds that have been put in the ground are said to be rotted

UPHOLDS AGENT
 FARE INJUNCTION
JUDGE TRiE6ER DECIDES RATE AGAINST THE RAILROAD
 COMMISSION.
Court Holds That Railroads Are Not Making Legitimate Profit Under
 the Existing Laws.

Little Rock.-Holding that the freight tariffs put into effect by the Arkansas Railroad Commission and the two-cent passenger rate provided by an act of the legislature are non compensatory and confiscatory, Judge T-ieber made permanent the injunc- ton enjoining the state from enforc- ing these rates against the Iron Mountain and Cotton Belt railroads.
 Judge Trieber went exhaustively into the different items of expenses Of railroads for the purpose of deter. mining the difference in the cost of the two classes of traffic, state and interstate, and reached the conclu- sion that the local freight traffic of the Iron Mountain exceeds the cost of the interstate 2lO per cent and that of the Cotton Belt 250 per cent.
 The opinion declares that a rail road should earn six per cent upon a fair valuation of it's property when everything is prosperous and no ex- traordinary losses are incurred, and an additional allowance of one and one half per cent for surplus fund. It was declared by the judge that the railroads involved were unable to make legitimate profit under the existing laws, and for that reason they were confiseatory.
 The state will appeal the case to the highest tribunal before giving up.

|S TEST IF NERVE
REPARTEE OF DIAMOND INTEND ED TO TRY TEMPER OF
 OPPONENTS.
DO0IN'S DUEL WITH TINKER
For Once Cub shortstop 10 Rendered
 Speeches. - DeIehanty's Remark able Exhibition of Nerve-How Gibson Lost . Game for PIttsburo.
By HUGH s. FULLERTON.

The repartee of the baseball field is fast and cutting and as one young col lege man remarked after his first taste of the cutting incisive repartee of the major leagues. This ain't no place for a gentleman" 1t is as Dode Criss remarked after a short flight in an aeroplane: Its fine and exhilarat- ing. but I don't recommend it to . nervous person as a sure cure"
 The object Of most of the repartee of the diamond is to test the nerve and temper of the opponents. and the player who permits the rough rail lery to shake either his confidence or his temper is going back just as surely as when he commences to foul balls onto his feet-which in baseball Is said to be the surest sign of retrogres- sion.
 One of the sharpest passages of re- partee during the last season was the duel of words between Charlie Red" Dooin, the scrappy little manager and catcher of the Philadelphia Nationals, and Joe Tinker, the shortstop of the lOdoo. AIOoiA ID 0 Hidh WuO Ou tue Ddil Held never uses an oath of any sort but who. on the playing field can make . Mississippi river mate blush. He had just been made manager of the Phillies and Tinker, who is . fast thinker and talker, opined it would be a good time to see whether or not he could jar the nerves of the new man. ager. So when Tinker came to bat each time during the game he cut loose with fine line of insulting in- situations. He went out twice with out getting hit and each time he added to his line of conversation.
 You're fine manager" he remark cd over his shoulder as he faced the pitcher che third time. Where do you get off. you cheap skate? You grabbed managers job and cheated . good man out of a decent salary"
 He kept adding to that line of con- versation while Dooin. busily catch ing, was retorting in kind
 You get $3.000 for managing and catching and rob Gleeson of a salary of 34.o0o." remarked Tinker. What

cially as Grooch, their short stop, who couldn't hit a reformer with a paper wad at a council meeting, was at bat. It looked safer when Grooch pushed up a high fly that was coming down right into our first baseman's hands. Just as the ball started to come down one of those big mountain hawks we have up in Colorado came soaring along, looking for some easy-looking sparrow to eat. and it saw the ball. The hawk dropped right into that ball, sunk his talons into it and flew clear up onto Pikes Peak with 1t and the umpire let 1t go as a fair ball Four runs were scored and they beat us out to E."

During the early summer Jim Delehanty observed the rule of the club in one of the greatest dis plays Of nerve ever shown on the ball field. Del was trying to steal second The second baseman showed his leg out to block the runner while he took the throw and Del made hard twist ing slide trying to get past the leg which had him stymied and to reach the bag. His leg smashed against the leg of the baseman with terrific force and after the baseman had touched him out he hobbled around on one foot grooming and rubbing his shin and abusing Del for trying to hurt him
 Keep your leg out of the way and quit blocking runners and you won't get hurt" gritted Del as he arose from the dust Some of you fellows will get your gambs chopped off try iht " DlONh us- Anu uc dIOSe duu swaggered over to the bench
 Once concealed in the bench he called the trainer. who stripped down his stocking and discovered that the spikes of the baseman had gouged his leg along the shin bone for four inches literally scraping the flesh of the bone.
 It was that injury which practically put the Tigers out of the American league pennant race, as infection set in and Delehanty was only able to play few games during the remain der of the season.

He still was holding tho base when he saw that something was the matter with the big Pirate catcher.
