CHI ANARCHISTS
Will CELEBRATE
(By Union Associated Press.)

Chicago, May Anarchists of Chi
cago are preparing to celebrate tonight
the twelfth anniversary of the Haymar-
ket Square riot, in which seven police
men were killed and sixty injured by
a dynamite bomb. The recent arrest
of J. ]. Mcnamara and his brother,
charged with having caused dynamite
outrages all over the country, has
aroused the radical element among the
laboring men of Chicago and the police
fear there may be serious trouble to-
night.
The Haymarket riot occurred May 4.
1886, when the police attempted to
break up a public meeting which had
been called to further the eight-hour
strike then in progress. August Spica,
Albert R. Parsons, Adolph Fischer
and George Engel were hanged for al
legged completely in the bomb throw
ing. Other labor leaders were sent to
prison but We're later pardoned by
Governor Altgeld, who wrote book
to prove that the men hanged were in
nocent. Pictures of the anarchist mar
tyrs' were displayed in many windows

wedding OUT
PROCESS IS over
Cotton States League Stronger Than
Ever Before-other Changes
Are Likely, However.

The wedding out process in the Cot
ton States League has been completed,
and all teams have cut down to the
constitutional limit of thirteen players
and a manager.
1t is by no means certain, however,
that the six teams as at present con-
stituted will go through the season.
On the contrary, reports come from
several points on the circuit that ad-
ditional changes in the lineups are
likely, and it is probable that one OF
two managers may be decapitated.
Southern League cast-offs are being
sought after by several managers, and
when the waiver period in that organi
zation is passed it is probable that
there will be a goodly number of Glass
A. players DOMINIC uniforms in Glass
ID.
Generally speaking, the refuse ma
terial of the Southern League is not
very desirable, and, in a majority o
cases where players of this class are
enlisted they render no better service
than the minor league players who
have been through the spring practice
period with the minor league.

SPORTS
YAzIl0 CITY GOT BACK
HER GOAT IN A SLOW GAME

Starting off like the autumn breeze,
the locals bsgan a game yesterday that
looked like business, but in the third
absorbed a noisy puncture and ran I'M
Ill the eighth on a flattened tire. Yes,
bumped into a tough break in luck for
about five innings, when they again
returned to the radiant glow of the cal
cium glim.
OF course We have to allow Yazoo
a game once in while to keep them
from being discouraged and changing
their name, a la Gladiator" for ZOO
Zoos" sounds so easy, and really it is,
for didn't Harb get nervous and acct
IDENTIFY ease the pill over the fence?
Bagby in the sixth decided it was
his day off. Well, you've had your little
day off too, so you can't blame him for
retiring to the dim and distant Sc
clusion Of the bench, but not to I'M
cork there by stealth the briny tear
and spasmodic sob, for our teams not
built that way, but on the level the old
boy was not feeling much to the good
yesterday.
An angle that we can't quite tumble
to with anything resembling rush is
why that one Zoo rooter simmered
down so quickly, and why the said fan
didn't bubble over with glee, until the
end of the fifth. At first it seemed
that he was tickled to the gills and he
gave vent to a few hollow noises, and
then for while it seemed as if he
couldn't tell whether he was floating
in sea of champagne to the sound of
celestial music or sliding down a
creased rainbow.
We won the series, and are leading
the league, so We can't figure where
there's any kick coming from us
