BASEBALL GOSSIP
AROUND CIRCUIT.
Movements in the Clubs In the Cotton
States League.

Tho "Champs" are scouting around
silently to fill one or two gaps so as to
m AXE them invincible this season, but
are fattered over tho prospects to land
the 1911 rag. Manager Thornton feels
sure that with the preferred stock that
the Greenwood Association has carried
over that he can duplicate his cute
stunt OF 1910 and every day he is assur-
ed OF tho consistent support and back
ing OF his constituency. Athletic Park
is being improved just a wee bit and
plans are being perfected to remedy
what inconvenience that occurred dur
ing the last season. Very likely an ar
rangement will be made for an automo-
bile service to the park which will cut
down the high expense of transporta-
tion to tho grounds. This will increase
the attendance and will insure bet
ter financial success. The fans are all
resting on the banks of the Yazoo"
and arc a little more concerned with
tho splended prospects of the "Champs"
than the dope from the clubs around
the circuit that tho very best has been
secured for each of these respective
cities.
The Jackson dopists have cranked d up
their tooters and have taken the stand
that nothing but stars have been cor
rallied and that the Lawmakers will put
up sitter fight than ever before to
wrest honors from the Queen City of |
the Delta" They seem to have all
their energies bent npon downing what !
they have termed "the erstwhile |
champs" and that club is not stinting
itself il any way to collect material to
put up scrappy exhibition of the game.
Proud of it's financial success of last |
year and confident chat they will re-
venge we can rightly expect stiff ar
ticle when Woodie's pets clash with the |
Newsboys. The selection Of their NAN
agor will be made the first of next |
week, and they are endeavoring to get |
tho craftiest of the craft to lead their |
club in 1911.

Items From Providence Enterprise.

Misses Katherine Owens and
Mary Arden Jennings, of Madi-

city Saturday and Sunday.
Judge j. F. Gordon, of Madi-
sonville, was in the city Thurs
day the guest of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Owens.
j. H. Travis, of Crittenden
county, was in the city Friday
and is looking we'll Mr.. Travis
is a former resident of Provi-
dence and has many old friends
here who are always glad to see
him.
The dwelling of Eli Brantley,
a we'll known farmer. living near
Fishtrap, this county, was de-
stroyed by fire at an early hour
Saturday morning. The family
were awakened by the loud bark
ing Of a dog to find the building
enveloped in flames and the roof
tumbled in soon after they made
their exit from the house. Only
four feather beds were saved
from the ruins. Mr.. Brantley
also lost his meat house and sup
ply of bacon. We understand
that he had no insurance on the
building and his loss is quite
heavy.
The stock barn of Zach Davis,
who lives on the Coley Oglesby
place in Crittenden county, was
destroyed by fire Sunday night
about IL o'clock and Mr.. Davis
loss is considerable. Besides
the buileing he lost two good
mules, a lot of corn and hay, a
new binder and many other ar
ticles of use on the farm. How
the flames started is unknown.
When the fire was discovered it
had gained big Roadway. The
first act of Mr.. Davis on reach
ing the building was an attempt
to liberate the mules, but the
animals were sufocated. Mr..
Davis is an industrious hard
working man and his loss is
much deplored by his neighbors
and friends. He carried no in.
surance on the property.
