the Hattiesburg team left this morn

play the Gulls this afternoon. Smith
carried the pick of the men with him,
and that Hattiesburg will put up a
creditable showing goes without a

grounds, and with the addition of Mad

recent exhibition games have enabled
some of the youngsters ITO find them

will probably reach home Sunday

MOST perfect
4-T0ED HORSE
Specimen Of Eohippus Being Mounted
For American Museum of
Natural History.

New York, April 1.-The most perfect
specimen ever found of the eohippus.
or four-toed horse, the earliest known
ancestor of the noble animal which is
now being superseded by the automo-
bile, is being mounted and will soon
be on view to the public at the Ameri-
can Museum of Natural History. This
almost complete specimen of the skele-
ton of the eohippus was found last
summer in the Bad Lands of Wyoming
by William Stein, chef and teamster
for Wyoming expeditions and, be-
tween times, bone-hunter on his own
hook.
The new specimen is considered by
experts to be the most ancient in ex-
dstence, as 1t was discovered in a
formation which dates, roughly esti-
mated, to matter Of three million
years ago. At that time, say the scien.
lists, or rather shortly before. Wyo-
ming was at sea level and was inhab-

Gates of open air schools demands
can afford to throw away such a sum
every year? For a child that dies at
twelve years of age, before he has
rendered any service to society
through productive energy, must be
estimated as a total loss to the COM

1t is not sentiment, it is the thing

HATTIESBURG 5;
PURVIS 5 SCORE
A Pretty Game Played Between Hiqh
School Teams In Drizzle
OF Rain.

The first game of the present season
was played yesterday at Purvis by the
Hattiesburg High School and the Pur-
Wis High School The game was called
at $3.50 o'clock in drizzling rain, but
Notwithstanding the adverse condition
Of the weather, both teams did some
fine work.
In the first inning Purvis made three
runs and held this lead until the first
haif of the sixth, when Hartzog started
the fireworks with two-base hit. Six
runs were made in succession in this
inning, the Purvis pitcher walking in
one man. In the first half of the
eighth the Hattiesburg boys scored
two more runs on Lassiters three-base
nit. In the last half of the ninth the
Purvis boys made desperate attempt
to score and succeeded in making two
runs, which left the score 8 to S. in
favor of Hattiesburg.
One of the features of the game was
sensational catch by Bowel, center
fielder for Purvis.
During the game the Purvis pitcher
walked five men and Holmes three.
Holmes struck out seven men and
Vowel three.

The League Moguls Will
Meet in jackson TOMORROW

Jackson, Miss, April President
Scott has issued call for a meeting
Of the managers of the Cotton States
League at Jackson Sunday, April 2
at which the chief mogul will lay
down the law on kicking and umpire
batting.
President Scott Is determined to
have order on the field this season.
and he will have the support of the
press Of the circuit. Last season
there was too much umpire fighting
and not enough bah playing, but it
will be different this season.
The most serious trouble over UNI
pires occurred at Yazoo City and Me-
ridian. At the former city Hunt was
attacked on the field while Meridian
refused to play with Markell at Hat
tiesburg. FORGETTING one game of a Sc
ries, and both men were removed by
President Crowder.
Conditions have changed since 1910
and President Scott is in position to
discipline offending clubs, which
President Crowder was unable to do
last season. For one thing, the for
felt has been raised from $3.50 to
$500, and another is that if any team
refuses to abide by the rulings of the
president, Greenville stands ready to
step in and take a franchise.
All is in readiness for the opening
of the season Thursday of next week. |
The Cotton States, as a whole, was !
never in better state of prepared
ness. Every team has a squad of
good players to select from, and the
league will be faster than in 1910.
Indications are that the league will
be better balanced. too, which is an

CENSUS OF THE
BRITISH empire
A Count OF The Population Will start
Tomorrow Night-Stu-

(sy Union Associated Press.l

London, April IA count of the
population of the entire British en-

undertaken by any census bureau, will
take place tomorrow night. Ten years
ago 39O,294,152 people were found
within the confines over which the

sus is expected to show considerable
increase. In Canada, India, South

have been at less expense this season
than last, because there was less ex.
perimenting with players, and condi.
lions generally are much better than
year ago.
The season opens earlier and clos
es earlier, which insures a better at
tendance from start to finish of the
schedule, and 1t looks as though the
managers are Of better quality than
last season. AS a whole, the Cotton
States League of 1911 should be a
better organization in every way than
in 1910. The club owners have nut
the affairs Of each individual organi-
cation on business basis, while the
affairs Of the league are in good
hands, and If the season is a financial
failure it will be due to lack of at
tendance.
The umpires will report to the
president at vicksburg Wednesday.
April 5, when they will be assigned.
Assignments will be made by lottery,
and 1t will not be known until after
the meeting where either man will
work on opening day.
The season will open with Jackson
at Yazoo City; vicksburg at Green
wood; Meridian at Hattiesburg.

the census-takers and those who have
charge of the job will find it no easy
one.
While the counting of noses will
occupy only one night, the tabulating
of returns will require three or four
years, and the complete returns will
hardly be ready before 1915. The
first census of the British empire was
taken forty years ago next Monday.
The first real count of the British isles
took place in 1901, after long oppos-
tion based on scriptural grounds.
