congress is working for the improve
ment of the rivers. harbors and water.
ways in all parts of the United States.
Chairman Alexander of The rivers and
harbors committee, says shst 1899 ,000,-
900 will complete every project which
has been begun or has been recon-
mended by the army engineers Five
hundred million dollars would prob
ably finish up all of these and all the
new projects which will be surveyed
and adopted within the next few years.
The average annual production of
the five principal cereals, which dur
ing the last ten years has been 4,151,-
100000 bushels, has been steadily in
creasing and will probably continue
to increase for some time to come
The complete improvement of all
our waterways would increase the
value OF every bushel of grain pro
duced by at least five cents-my own
opinion Is that 1t would be more than
that.
But let us be on the safe side. Sup
pose we spend a billion dollars on
instead OF half-billion;
SUI Sc that the production of grain
remains as 1t Is instead Of increasing;
Ind suppose that the price of grain is
only IN cents a bushel In.

Lookouts Lose and Barons Lead
THE CASE OF TY COBB

the followers are from the President of the United States to the day la borers.
 Cobb seemingly had perfect right to administer the beating to the in dividual. Hugh Jennings, the mana ger of the Detroit team, said that Tucker had called the Georgia Peach' name that no Georgian would allow to go unresented. According to Cobb, the fellow had been calling him vulgar names and applying epithets for sev- eral days. After he had warned the fellow to stop, he continued to apply the names with additional vileness, and then Cobb took the matter into his own hands and meted out punish ment for the culprit in manly way.
 Ball players are human. The ma iority are men of character and honor. In the ranks of professional players are many men of refinement and of good families. College graduates are flccking to the ranks and the average player of today is man of moderate wealth, of good character and educa- tion.
 Ty Cobb demonstrated that he was at least a man. He had enough of the spark of manhood in him to re- sent an insult.
 However, we do not mean that every time ball player is hooted at for striking out with the bases full or for stealing second with three run ners on, that he shall administer a beating to the fan As long as fan does not become vulgar or profane, a player must smile and take the crit icism. If the spectators could not take some part in the game it would not be long before the national game would die natural death
 The incident should help to remind the people that ball players are clean and that baseball is clean game.

ED WALSH, DAMP SLING ARTIST
 AND MAINSTAY OF WHITE SOX
By W. J. MACBETH

lyear I'd work him every game" Of course Chance did not mean that state-
 ment literally. But it was a fine com
 pliment nevertheless, and a deserving one. It may be Walshs physique that has enabled him to go on from year to year performing at its very best the | work of three ordinary tossers
 l Every time Walsh wavers the least bit fandom prepares for his funeral. Hes gone at last" is whispered. "He could not possibly stand up under such a strain of overworlS," But each time the marvel comes back stronger than ever Today he stands in class all by himself
 It was Walsh who gave the lie to the theory that the spitball ruins a pitch
 CTS arm. It never seemed to puzzle | his Ripper a great deal Ed wasn't worth a plugged nickel as a hurler un- til he acquired the damp delivery. Tn
 his first year out with the SoX, 1904, he depended almost entirely on speed, and he was hammered all over creation. 1 He picked up the salivary slant from
 Jack Che~.-So and commenced to use it 1 In the spring of 1905. That is when l his real career began. Before fall he was one of the greatest pitchers in the game. The following season he won a pennant and worlds flag for Fielder Jones.
 Jimmy Callahan's team has a great start toward the championship. His best bet is WalsS the fellow that put him up there. If nothing happens to this star, even the slugging Athletics will have a hard task heading the White | SoX. Walsh will pitch as many games this year and deliver as many victories as he eyer did in any campaign. That is enough to assure an ultimate triumph 1 if the other Chicago pitchers can de- l lliver average results. and Callahan seems to have collected a few pretty
 good ones to help out his grand iron
 man."
 If the Yankees are not destined to fly Ban Johnsons colors this fall. noth-
 ing would better please New York than
 a worlds championship tilt between the Giants and White SoX. Ii would be in- deed a treat to see Walsh match his skill with that of Mathewson and l"Rube" Marquard No one wishes tho Athletics any tough luck. But they
 do not look we'll in a worlds series. They're too blamed good for anybody in such a limited entertainment. We
 all know what Bender and Coombs and Plank can do for the big stakes. Let's
 have peep at Walsh for change.

AN INGENIOUS BOOK AGENT A Tale With a Moral for Salesmen

 The book agent who walked into Peter Steffen's office looked like an ingeniou. fellow, but Steffens, glancing up in a hur ", spled his trade in a minute and nut tered to himself:
 "Confound that boyl Now. how dc that fellow get in?"
 Aloud. he said: You're wasting youl time here. won't buy anything today tIf you'll only let me show you"
 No" shouted Steffens.

 T would" said steffens. If I had any. I'm an orphan
 "Well, you might want something to throw at the cat suggested the book agent.
 Do you think demanded Steffens, that I would demean my cat by throw ing your miserable publication at herr"
 The book agent was only dashed a sec- ond.

One on British War Office

From the New York Herald's London
 Correspondence.
 A good joke against the war office is being DAssed round one of the military clubs though with bated breath. A clever senior clerk discovered that the efficiency returns of certain territorial battalion had not been forwarded to the war office for last year.
 Such piece of carelessness on the part of the commanding officer was of course. inexcusable. But, carrying his investigations further, the C. S. C. dis covered that there had been similar omission the year before, and the year before that, too.
 Pllming himself on his discovery. he land the matter before his superior off cer. who warmly commeded him for his smartness and hinted at promotion and all kinds of nice things. peremptory letter was written to the general com manding the district demanding an ex- planation.
 It came in the shape of a very curt note, stating sarcastically that the war office had disbanded the battalion in question four years ago.

BESSEMER LEAVES
 TO PLAY MODELS
 THREE GAME SERIES
Games Today Rome in Selma. Bessemer in Anniston. Huntsville in Gadsden.

The Bessemer club goes to Anniston this morning for a three game series with the Models. The club has been materially strengthened by the addi- ton of a catcher and two outfelders. However. Jimmy Morgan, who has been put under suspension until he is In condition, will soon return to the game. Walker, the new first sacker, should add to the hitting strength of the club.
 It Is probable that the new catcher Ben nedict-will be given a chance at Anniston. Although Shinn and For sythe have not lived up to expecta- tions 1t is thought that they will come around this week and play good ball. Baker will pitch the opening game this afternoon, while 1t is probable that Battson will oppose him. The Rome club remains in Selma for three more games. while the Gadsden team will play Huntsville this afternoon at Gads- den. It is expected that the teams will have hot fight.

The Forerunner

From the New York Tribune.
 Mme. Maeterlinck, on the French Line pier in New York, praised the Harlem flat ardently
 Our foreign flats, beside your Harlem ones," she said, seem as slow as--as slow as-well, as a Provencal railway
 Tn white, sun drenched, glitterine Provence there is a railway remarkable for its slowness.
 "I was waiting at a Provencal station one day, and my train was three hours behind time. Out of patience at last, said to the station master:
 Isn't this train coming soon?'
 Just then dog came trotting up the line, and the station master smiled.
 "'Oh, yes, madam he said, it is bound to arrive soon now. Here comes the en- gineer's dog. '
