TAKES FIRST CAME.
Donnelly Team Falls to Fast
Morris Bunch.

In one sided affair and before
small sized crowd the Morris ball
team took the opener from the DON
nelly aggregation by the score of to
2. The small crowd was due to the
threatening weather and the short
notice or which the game was sche-
duled. The game started off as If
it might be close one, neither side
scoring in the opening session. But
in the last of the second the locals
got their sticks working and piled up
four runs on the visitors. At no time
after this was the game in danger for
Morris added three more to their sum
while the best Donnelly could do was
to acquire two IN the fifth; this was
the only inning that Donnelly scored.
Taken all in all the Morris boys
made a creditable showing for it was
the first that the team had played to-
gether and this is always handicap
in the first game or two. Pickering
the u. of M. athelete was on the
rubber for the locals and the fans
were very much impressed with his
GOODNESS at all stages of the game.
"Pick" did not extend himself during
the contest but used his head to ad-
vantage with men on bases. Johnston
and McGovern, the two other infield-
ers, looked after everything at their
respective positions and each one
lived up to his reputation. Deutch-
man in the out field looks like find
and his hitting ability will add great
" to the team.
The team had two games scheduled
with Appleton yesterday and today,
which were called off on account OF
the rain. Morris is now in communi.
cation with some good HEAVIER to re.
lieve Pickering who is the only
reliable pitcher in the squad. Ir
the course of week or ten days
two or three other good mer
will be added to the roster and this
will make up the weak spots on the
team and incidentally make Morris
worthy opponent for any of the
surrounding cities. The following is
Wednesdays game by innings witt
the box score.

A Norway legend.

According to work on Norway. the
scantiness Of the soil in that country
is explained by some Of the country
people as follows: At the creation Of
the world the angels whose duty it
was to scatter the soil forgot Norway.
Seeing this. the guardian angel of the
land made complaints to the Creator.
What was to be done? Impossible to
start the whole Of creation for the sake
Of Norway. Come, my little angels"
said he; ''look carefully and perhaps
you may still find little earth" The
conscience. stricken angels swept the
door of heaven. and the little dust they
found they gathered in their draperies
and scattered over the Norwegian
rocks

NEW UNIFORMS HAVE ARRIVED

Sometime during the next week
the Morris fans will have the oppor-
tunity of seeing the local team ar
rayed in their new uniforms. Paul
Spooner, chairman of the base ball
committee, went to the city and pur-
chased dozen suits. Spooner' s
selection was very good as he picked
something attractive and lasting.
The colors are maroon and gray: the
stockings maroon, Boston style caps
and an old English letter M on the
shirt. The suits look very good and
if the team compares favorably with
the uniforms, all that has been ex.
pected will be fulfilled.

NARROW ESCAPE IN
 SWOLLEN STREAM
Two En Route to Get Murderer in Autauga Have Thrilling Ex-
 perience in Water

Prattville, January 29.-tSpecial.)- .)-Dep- uty Sheriff D. B. Chamblss of this place and Stanley Parker, a livery man, who left this city last night at o'clock to go 90 miles in the country to capture and return to the county jail Joe Davis, ac- cused of having killed Andrew Wilson near Mulberry, in this county, last Friday night, came near losing their lives In Beaver creek at 12 o'clock last night.
 It seems the deputy and his companion drove in the ford of the creek, which was in fact very high from the continuous rains yesterday and just as the horse came to the deepest part of the stream raft perhaps a log, struck the horse and carried him down the stream for dis tanee of POO yards. The deputy and the driver seeing what had happened to their horse. jumped for their lives, and the deputy landed near dry land, but Mir
 Parker went in mid-stream, fioated down some 100 yards, where he succeeded in making his escape from the angry waters of the Little stream. They then went down the stream in search of the horse and found the horse and the buggy lodged against a tree, the horse in such deep water he could only hold his nose out of the water. The horse was saved by cutting him loose from the buggy.

Washington, January -(speeial)--A hearty indorsement is given to the Navy leagues plan to poll the sentiment of the country on the Panama canal toll ques- ton by Representative Richmond Pear son Hobson of Alabama. MT Hobson called on Secretary 1T. IT. Ward of tho Navy league and Assured him that his communication sent out a few days ago to members of the league was a timely one and would doubtless call attention Of the country to one of the most import ant measures pending in Congress. IIe expressed the opinion that the Navy league should pass resolutions indorsing a legislative programme by which Amer ican ships would be relieved of Panama canal tolls.
 Some of the bills pending in Congress are actually a vicious attack on Amer ican ships" said MT Hobson as he left the league headquarters in the South ern building. "Those bills which provide no relief from tolls for American ships would bring about an unjust discrimina-

 ON CANAL TOLL QUESTION

ton against the ships of this country I am informed that Spain has already made provision by which the ships carry ing it's flag will have their Panama canal tolls refunded to them by the Spanish government. You can rest assured that other progressive nations will sooner or later take this step, and If we do not our ships will be discrminated against in Q great waterway which we have built. No one who realizes the importance of aux Hilary ships for the navy would for a moment think of placing our ships on the same terms as those which fly foreign flags, much less giving other countries an opportunity to send their ships through the canal on more favorable terms. In self defense this goremnment must make provision to take care of the tolls of the ships which fly it's flag. propose to support an amendment to the merchant marine bill that will provide for the pay ing of the tolls of the American vessels and 1t appears to me that every patriotic citizen should be in favor of it. It is to he hoped that the Navy league will de- clare itself in no uncertain terms on this important subject"
