MOONEY WRITES
 OF OLD FRIENDS Brilliant Newspaper Man Who Once Lived Here
 Recalls Events.
NAMES MANY OF THEM
Says He Was H0Mesick for Pine Bluff While in New York
 ''ls Getting Along."

\ letter, that will be of interest to many of the older residents of this city and in (Which some of the old time citizens, many of whom have passed away, are recalled with pleas ant recollections, has been received by Captain s. +. Hilzheim, of the sheriff S office, from C. P. J. Mooney an early resident of Pine Bluff, who is now at the head of the Memphis Commercial Appeal, one of the great est newspapers in the Southwest.
 Mr. Mooney did his apprentice work in a newspaper shop in Pine Bluff and was at one time connected wi.h the Graphic. . He served for many years as managing editor of the Com mercial Appeal and later was at the head of the Hearst papers in New York, later returning to Memphis to again take charge of the Commercial Appeal, special inducements being made him. In his letter MT. Mooney reviews some of the friendships of many years ago. The letter follows:
 Memphis, Tenn, June 9, 1913. Col. Sam F. Hllzheim,

 I have been in many parts of this world, but 1 believe I look back on my sojourn in Pine Bluff as a time filled with a great deal of pleasure, and today every recollection of Pine Bluff is to me pleasant. What q marvelously fine crowd were there in those days. And how picturesque some of them were. Where was there another character so rare and unique as Maj. Charles Gordon Newman: King White. Then there was Sam Mallory, a gentleman of the old school. He ought to have been rich all of his life because business was entirely foreign to him. And then there was Murray and Tom James Murray the silent fellow With the biz heart and James, big and genial. And then there was our old friend, Leon Levey. The Lord will give Leon q nice place in Heaven because he has good heart. Is he still alive? Just now am thinking of Maj. Speers and Col. w. o. Taggart and Capt. Fay. l Tor. And then there was the schol orly A. B. Grace and Jordan, the teacher and philosopher. There was another good man in Pine Bluff whC was a good friend of mine. That mar l was Isaac Dreyfus. Before 1 forge it, let me recall to your mind tha Frenchman of the old school, Judge Bocage. There is enc man in Pint Bluff who will never get old. His name is John Elliott John Elliott i> the most interesting conversational ist I know of. 1 hope some day this summer to go over to Pine Huff ant have Elliott adjourn court early 1T the morning and then half a dozel of us will get into his office and W, will tell stories all the rest of tn

He was a splendid physician and a man of character. There was another man whom l es- teem very highly. He kept livery stable. His name was Sam Fies. Do you remember Sheriff Silverman? One day while l was in New York he came into my office and spent all hour. Il was a bleak and cold day and both of US were homesick for Pine Bluff, where even the winters breezes are mild, where the stars are so close at night that you can hear them talk, and where the scent of the magnolia causes one to dream that he is in the front yard of heaven.
 We are getting along, my dea1 friend, getting along. But we eau so live that our hearts will always be young.

Meridian scored in the initial inning
Moneymaker opened up by clubbing
single through the box. Gutierrez, try
ing to sacrifice, hunted directly to Clar-
ence and Moneymaker met his death
at second. Hodge drew transportation.
Clark lofted to deep right and Guitterez
went to third on the catch, scoring
moment later on Besse's single past
second. McGehee forced Besse at sec

In the second frame Meridian added

grounded to Harris who funbled long
enough for the runner to go safe.
Pavey sacrificed him along with a neat
bunt in front of the plate and he stole
third. scoring on Moneym aker's long
fly to Gudger. Guitterez flied out to
Miller for the last out of the inning.
Hodge started the third with a clean

The game was enlivened by several

covered early that the men upon whom
he expected to rely the coming season
failed to exhibit any stellar amount OF
baseball ability. Mathewson, of course,
came around in the same sty,e which
has made him the idol of the Gotham
fans. But Marquard and Tesreau
proved great appointments. Tes-
reau, for some reason or other, doesn' t
seem to be able to get his splitter to
working properly, and as a conse-
queree is losing far more than he is
winning. Marquard reported late and
doesn't seem to possess his 1911 and
1912 stuff to date. To be sure, these
hurlers will come around shortly, but
shortly may mean after the Phillies
gather a commanding lead and that
would never do.

chased from the Cincinnati Reds for a
