POOR BRANCH LINE SERVICE.

George j. Kelley in Times-Democrat:
1t was my i'll fortune a few days
ago to make trip from Clinton, La,
to Baton Rouge, a distance of thirty.
two miles, on one Of the Yazoo and
Mississippi Valley trains, of which
the officials boast of giving the town
good service. We left Clinton at the
regular hour; viz: 1920 a. M, and
arrived in Baton Rouge that night
at IL p. M, and had it not been for
the sixteen-hour law, which prohibits
the working Of railroad crews over
sixteen hours I do not believe we
would have reached Baton Rouge he.
fore daylight the next day.
Again, I left Baton Rouge on the
same train, which is known as the
Clinton local No. 6, at 7:40 q. m; we
should have reached Clinton at 1920,
but reached this place at IL m. SO
late that no switching could be done,
as the train is scheduled to leave
Clinton at 1920 a. m. Again, he

disappointed by not having cars plac.

doubled, as the crews have to be
Kept under pay in order to hold them
From what saw, the entire trouble
is expecting this train to do much
more work than is possible. AS the
season for harvesting the cane crop
is at hand, and as there are large
quantities being shipped on this line,
between Baton Rouge and Ethel, It
requires all Of the time allotted to
this train to handle the cane situa.

the passengers. May 1 ask, if from

Better to Be Lucky Than

Ward Has the Acumen and Experis.e.. but Murphy

By w. J. Macbeth.

ArEw YORK. Aug. 17.-So- called
M luck OF the baseball game Is
doubtless responsible for the su-
perstItions of the general run Of play
ers. Few indeed. OF all the great
army connected with the national pas
time. are those who reason after the
fashion of the Unconditional Connie
Mack.
"Thore is no such thing as luck
says Connie, cor II there Is IL certainly
equaliDas during the campaign NO
one team Is favored by luck. ] mean
You will win just as many games
through breaks as you lose and no
more during a long schedule. The
championship team sometimes looks
luckier than its rivals. That Is be-
cause It's players make their luck
good just as a discouraged array al
ways makes It's luck bad"
Connie Mack is a pretty wise gen.
eral and In nIl probability knows cx-
actly what he is talking about. Any
how, he can get away with IL so far
as we are concerned. There may be
no such fortune as good luck from
the playing and managerial ends of
the nations summer sport. Yet how
about luck In baseball promotion?
There you will find luck and oodlcs
OF Il. Almost without exception
the public at the present time can
thank his lucky stars. fIe may let
on that he is a martyr. risking his
money through civic patriotism, but
there are no financial martyrs in this
baseball age of commercialism. By-
cry big league club president Is out
for the ksIe, He wouldn't remain
president long " he thought there was
no chance to gather pelf.
TT seems like Dame Fortune would
get a crouch at the men she has
= made. but who say. I'm a self
made man: hard work put me where
I am,' and then looks nj you With
an expression that mcans: You can't
keep down a man OF my brains.
The luckicr the fellow has been.
the more he makes believe that he
himself has done 1t all.
Tne nnger5 Oh tue TWO Habu"
wouldn't he enough TO enumerste the
lucky magnates OF the National and
American leagues. Unfortunately,
there Is always the exception that
proves the rule. We viii consider for
q moment one OF the tough luck
disciples OF the diamond. John Mont
gomery Ward
Ward has but recently severed his
connection with the Boston National
league club, He was president OF
the lucklcss National league tsilenders
for less than one year. Ward sold
= his holdings 10 Jim Gaffney. major

December. He Is through with base
