BOSTON, July Count Penoist d'AaY,
tn" Naval Attachd of tho French Em-
bassy. who is vacationing at Manchester,
has high regard for the military and
naval preparedness Of this country and
does not believe any enemy would dar.
attack us
In the Philippines alone Count d'Alv
finds the United States in position ol
possible unpreparedness to meet the
attack Of any foreign foe.
In case OF a war between America and
any other Power" explain ed Count day,
1T would first be- necessary for the enemy
to cripple or annihilate your defending

After this remarkable feat was accom-.

of hypothesis that the enemy has pro

u landing at some place on your shores
TO attack your harb or forts with war

extreme, particularly II we ass ume, as We
must, that the guns are such as they are
supposed - be, although we may not be
disposed wholly to credit the occasionally
printed stories OF firing IL inchers twice
in one minute, which, II true, Is certainly
almost unbelievable.
An enemy attacking America would
naturally seek some unprotected spot
for the landing of an army OF invasion,

Although. owing to the tr emendous

landing Of an army of invasion on Amer-

There can be but one answer. Il
would lie suicide for the invaders.
The conquest of the United States

THE TIGERS
Are On HAND
Detroit Arrives For Two Games With
Hattiesburg All Fandom
Rejoicing.

Hughie Jennings, with some of his
great star players and a large bunch
of promising young players reached,
reached Hattiesburg Sunday night and
are at the Hotel Hattiesburg. Today
the players have been taking things
easily, some of them paying friendly
visits to different parts of the town,
and all are ready for the series of two
games with the Hattiesburg team.
There are a number of enthusiastic
fans from nearby towns here for the
game this afternoon and the outlook is
that when play BALI is called by UNI
pire Millette this afternoon the stands
at Hamper Park will be well filled, for
all the local fans are sure to be on
hand to see this, the first game of the
season, and to get a peep at the great
Tiger manager and his players.
Manager Smith of Hattiesburg, has
been a busy man during the morning
closing up all the odds and ends pre-
paratory to the game, and giving the
boys a gentle try-out to decide finally
on his lineup. The batting order and
lineup of the Woodpeckers will be as
| follows:
Gondolfi, short stop; Begins, left
field; Matthews, right field Tutwiler,
End base; Swan, catcher; miller cen
ter field; Harb and Jones, first base;
Dickman and Lassiter, .3rd base; Bag
by, Semmes and Antley, pitcher.
The game will be called at 3 o'clock,
and tomorrow's game at the same time.

Ness, the first baseman, is the man
who will probably take the place of
the veteran, Tom Jones, released
several weeks ago. Kirk, Lathers,

minor leagues and college teams
whom the Detroit management has
gathered at the expense of many
thousands, to look over, in the South.
Manager Jennings is himself person
ally in charge Of the team and his
coaching should be feature of the

and is always busy, even though it
is hardly possible that he will take
part in the actual play.

SCHEDULE OF
THE 1911 GAMES
Directors Adopted New Rules Govern
ing The Cotton States
League.

At meeting of the board of direc-
tors of the Cotton States League held
in Vicksburg Saturday the playing
schedule for the season of 1911 was
adopted.
Schedule No. Z, prepared by Chas.
Hendrick, of Selma, Tenn, wins the
$25 prize, having been adopted with
a few minor changes from the origi-
nal draft.
More than dozen schedules were
submitted, but after critical exam
nation only three or four were given
serious consideration, and that of Mr..
Hendrick was recognized as superior
to the others.
Salary Limit Raised.
Several important matters were
disposed of by the directors, the most
interesting of which was an increase
of the salary hint.
The clause on this subject adopted
at the meeting held in Jackson sew
eral weeks ago fixed the salary limit
at $3.50 per month, including the
manager.
The amendment adopted Saturday
fixes the limit at $3.50, not including
the manager, and the player limit is
twelve men, not including the man
ager.
This means that each team can af-
ford to employ first class man as
manager, and also recruit good play
ers.
Beyond any doubt, this ought to
mean a faster quality of ball than the
fans have seen in this section during
any season since the Cotton States
League was organized.
The Waiver Clause.
The waiver clause, which prevails in
all the major leagues, was likewise
adopted
This means that no club can release
a player without first asking waivers
from the other five clubs and allow
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1911-03-13

them five days in which to decide
whether they want that player, in
which event they can get him by
paying $50. Otherwise he may be re-.
leased. The fairness Of this clause is
readily apparent and it will doubtless
result in more satisfaction among the
players during the first few weeks of
the season
The Wedding Out Process.
The season opens on April 9th,
opening games in Hattiesburg, Green
wood and Yazoo City, and in accord
ance with a resolution adopted all
teams must be cut down to the twelve
player limit, not including manager,
by the first of May.
This allows the managers twenty
five days in which to select the men
they desire to carry through the sea-
soma sufficient length Of time to
winnow the wheat from the char. In
fact, 1t is likely that the weeding-out
process will commence before the
limit expires.
Swapping Of Games.
An arrangement was entered into
for modification of the schedule,
whereby Jackson will play Vicksburg
in Jackson on April goth, July 3rd and
August 18th.
These are Saturday games, and in
exchange therefor Jackson will play
Vicksburg at the latter place on May
9TH, June 18th, July 10th and August
goth, all Sunday games.
Directors of other associations of.
fered no objections to these trans.
fers. Jackson prefers Saturday games
while vicksburg always draws her
best crowds on Sunday.
The Mileage.
AS usual, the mileage will be pro.
rated The total mileage computed on
the seasons schedule is 20,262 miles
Greenwood having the largest amount
, and Jackson the smallest. The mile
age follows: Hattiesburg, 3,52S; va
zoo City, 1858; Greenwood, 4,16S;
Jackson, 2,232; vicksburg, 1898; Me
ridian, 1882. Total, 20,262.

SCORER should
KNOW SIGNALS
Of Mistakes Would Be
Avoided.

81 believe that every official scorer
should know the signals of his team,
at least" said Manager Schwartz yes
terday in President Hirsig's office. "A
lot of mistakes in scoring would be
avoided if this were So The way the
scoring is done now by a man who
trusts his eyes without knowing the
real reason for things, bad breaks are
made nearly every day. l have gotten
so that in the baseball season l don't
look at the sporting accounts of the
game, since the viewpoint of the sport
ing writer and the player are exactly
opposite, and the sport writer, unin-
tentionally of course, is in the habit
of laying the blame on the wrong per-
son.
81 remember when l was playing

have gone to our manager. We were
using the hit-and-run play during the
series with our opponents, and the
second game the catcher caught on to
our signal, which was hitting the bat
on the plate. Our manager called to
one side and said that the signal
would have to be changed if we hoped
to win. The new signal was a tug at
the left side of the batter's pants,
which was pretty simple, but would
undoubtedly fool the opposing pitcher
and catcher.
"The next occasion on which the
hit-and-run play was in order l was at
the bat, and the manager, who was
also player, was on third. l thought
that, to worry the pitcher, l would
bluff with the old signal, and
slammed the bat down on the plate
five or six times, feeling sure that the
man on third would understand. The
pitcher started grinning, since he
knew the signal, and threw one about
a mile high to the catcher. | stood
and let the ball go by without pretend
ing to hit it, when, to my astonish
ment, the manager on third came fly
ing in toward home. OF course the
catcher tagged him and l got the
credit for bone-head play.
"The only explanation was that the
manager had forgotten the new signal
and had responded to the old one that
was discarded during the game. He
realized what he had done just as he
was reaching the plate and felt sorter
cheap. That's one on me, Bill, he
said when he came to the bench, but
the sporting writers didn't know and
blew me up next day."-Nashville

PROSPECTOR NEARLY
DIES ON THE DESERT

A prospector named Powell. an
old timer on the desert. week
before last started from Rawhide
accompanied by his partner and a
dog to go to some claims in the
mountains between Fairview and
Rawhide.
They forgot to take along their
canteens and did not notice their
oversight until they became
thirsty after walking several
hours. They became dSzed for
want Of water and were in great
danger of perishing. After
wandering over the hills aimlcssly
for some time the partner-a
much younger and stronger man
then Powell-gave up hope of
getting the older man out of the
scrape unassisted and started out
in search of help.
After much difficulty he reached
Fairview, almost exhausted, and
told his tale. A rig was got ready
and party started out to hunt
up the lost man. His trail was
cot on the road which le..ds up the
gulch from the flat to the Nevada
Hills mill. and recognized on
account of its irregularity, show
ing that its m ,ker was tired and
staggering.
The team was whipped up and
soon he was overtaken and cared
for. He had wandered around
the mountains, followed by the
dog. until nightfalI. when he and
his faithful companion lay down
to rest.
When he awoke his dog was
dead from thirst. He resumed his
wanderings and at last found the
roaG learding up to the mill. He
would probably have reached the
mill and succor, but it was a close
call. Wonder Mining News.

FOUND RELATIVE
AFTER LONG SEARCH

An interesting local case, illu-
straiing the good fortune that
occasionally comes to people in old
age. is that of n woman for many
years well known on the Com
stock. Not long ago, she was
taken sick and being without
funds was taken to the county
hospital for treatment. A COM
muncaition was sent to her nephew
in Peoria. ILL.,. who is a wealthy
coal operator, telling him of his
aunt's unfortunate plight. He at
once came to this city, and took
the aged lady to his home. and
will provide for her in comfort
and plenty for the remainder of
her days. 1t seems that the
family had lost track of the local
woman for years, and were re-
joiced, at again finding her, and
being able to provide and care for
her in her declining years.
