METROPOLITANS DEFEATED
AGAIN BY WOODPECkERS

The Meridian Dispatch of this morn
ing contained the following account
of the game in Meridian yesterday be-
tween the Woodpeckers and the
Metropolitans:
"The Metropolitans were badly de-
feated by the Woodpeckers yesterday
in smuggling match. Score IL to 5.
'Waldrons crew took the field bad
ly crippled, as the players recently
purchased are slow in arriving. A
pitcher was placed on second and
Emery donned the mask in crippled
condition, having sprained tendon
last Thursday during the game with
Yazoo City when 1t rained. The To-
calls, however, made the game close
for the visitors until the sixth, when
they had it all their way.
Dame fortune seemed to smile on
the Burgites, for they were certainly
lucky member of the wise class
said after Bagby had made a fluke
home run in the fourth which tied
the score, that was going some"
This 33rd degree fan stated he had
read the tales about Home Run Hag-
gerty, who carried a saw to every
game, using it to make hole in the
right field fence where he would
knock it through in the contest for
trip around the circuit, but Bagby's
stunt beat this When Bagby came
to the bat in the fourth there was
one man on the bags and ~ fly to
right field and according to the dope
of this rabid fan the ball went into
craw fish hole, allowing the batter a
home run. Anyway, Blanchfield, who
went after the ball, could not find it,
even after he had searched for it in
the alfolfo patch.
There were too many runs to try
to tell how they were made. The
Metropolitans scored the four runs
in the second by hard hitting on three
doubles, two singles and base on
balls.

GRIM TRAGEDIES OF OCEAN
Many Vessels Abandoned at Sea That
Are Constant Menace to
Navigation.

There is grimness about the brief
news dispatch which states that the
derelict destroyer Seneca, of the Uni
ted States revenue cutter service.
weighed anchor and steamed out OF
New York harbor to search for dere-
licts OF the seven-day storm which
ended recently. Vessels that have been
abandoned at sea, unless deliberately
destroyed. continue to be a menace to
shipping for long period following
their abandonment. For many years
1t was customary for sea captains, on
coming into port, to report such dere-
licts as they had observed during a
voyage, and the government published
charts in which the position of the re-
ported derelicts was shown, in order
that sailing masters might be on their
guard against collision with them.
There was at one time some talk OF in
ternational cooperation in the task OF
clearing the sea OF these floating
ships, but nothing came of 1t, and the
United States government finally
took the matter UP on its own account,
being for long time the only govern
ment which did so. and presumably it
occupies that position to this day. The
vessels designated as derelict destroy.
ers are specially fitted out with dyna-
mite and other means of destroying
and sinking the floating menaces to
navigation. and the significance of the
departure Of the Seneca lies In the
fact that the storm of last week IL
supposed to have caused many wrecks
on Hatteras and along the coast OF
the Carolinas.

FingernaiI Photography.

Would you like your sweetheart's
portrait placed on your fingernails?'
is unusual query at most of the
swell Berlin manicurists just now. The
new, fad grew out of a whim of a
pretty cousin of the kaiser who had
an enameled portrait of her fiance
worked on the nail of her little finger
The portrait was a gem of art in its
way and cost $50. The manicurists
took up the idea, and now. for small
fee of 20 marks-about S5-you can
have anyone's photograph placed on
your fngernail. The main skill Of the
manicurist consists in rendering the
photograph watertight; which is done
by coating it over with a shellac-like
substance. which is burned upon the
nail. This is the only painful element
of the strange process.
Quite a number of society danes
have taken to the idea and every
where you go you see fingernail pho
Biography. Mothers have pictures OF
their favorite and prettiest children
placed on their fingernails; young men
and maidens display their sweethearts
in the same fashion. and the fad has
spread marvelously since 1t was first
introduced. A portrait on a fingernail
will last with careful handling. about
four months without renewal.

STONE THAT BURNS ..-seLF
East Of the Jordan Lime 10 Made
