SANK TO WAIST
IN BLUE MUD IN
DODG|NG POLICE
FRANK JAMES, coLORED, JUMP
ED INTO FILL AT G. r, e. A,
DOCKS WHEN OFFICER PUR-
SUED HIM.

Motorcycle Officer Harper got so
close in behind Frank James, colored,
a runaway city prisoner, yesterday
afternoon about O'Clock. that the
negro in his effort to escape jumped
into the fill being made at the Gulf,
Florida and Alabama railroad docks
and sank waist deep in the blue mud
which is being forced into the bulk
head by the dredge Pensacola. James
continued to sink deeper into the mud
until it went quite a distance above
the waist, when he came out of his
own accord.
About two hundred persons lined
the wharf and beach to watch Officer
Harper and others in a small boat
trying to force James to leave the sea
of mud, but he did not give up until
after nearly stay of an hour
James was too dirty to be placed
in the patrol wagon, as he was heavily
coated with mud, and he was walked
to the police station, where a stream
of water was turned on him. After
being thoroughly washed he was fur
nished with dry clothes.

considered big money. The next year
the ten games played between New
York and ST Louis brought $24,362
to the box Office. In 1894, first year
of the Temple Cup series. the average
had risen to $4,000 a game. Only four
games were played that year, two at
Baltimore and two at New York, and
the total receipts for the series were
$4,000. In 1895 five games were play
ed and the receipts fell to s14,750.
There was no battle for the worlds
championship pennant between 1898
and 1902. In 1903 the National League
and American League pennant-win-
ners began the worlds series games
as they are now played One hun
dred thousand persons-colossal fig
ures ten years ago-saw the eight
games and paid more than $4,000 for
the privilege. There was no contest
in 1904. In 1905, 91,723 persons saw
the games; the price of tickets went
up and s6S, 405 was taken in. The low
level came in 1908 when Chicago and
Detroit fought for the flag. Sixty
three thousand persons saw the five
games However, they pad s94,976.
In 1909, 1925 persons paid $18S,-
302 to see the games; in 1910, 124.222
persons paid $173,9S0; nj 1911 the con-
test between New York and Philadel-
phia was seen by 179,S5l spectators
who left $342, 1874 at the box office. The
banner year was 1912. More than a
quarter of a million persons saw the
New York Nationals and the Boston
American League club in the eight
games and nearly half million do
lars-S49O 449-was taken in at the
box office.
With the rising cost Of baseball
came a corresponding increase in the
prize money of the players The first
game of the worlds series, as now
played. in 1903 netted the losing play
ers $1,1S2 each and the winners ST.
51625 each. Last years fight, of
course. was high-water mark in play
ers' prize money. The players on the |
Boston and New York teams divided !
between them $147,572. sixty per cent. |
to the winning team and forty per |
cent to the losing. Thus the Boston |
players averaged 5000 each for play !
ing the eight games; the New York |
ers, $3,472.

games since 1903 are given in the |

The kissimmee Journal says: Kis-

next few days four or five cars will
be shipped to Jacksonville for the
Jacksonville markets, and a little later
one or two more trainloads will be
shipped by our local stockmen to Ok

During the spring and summer there
have been something like 5000 head

place, and the proposed movement
will increase the number probably an
other thousand head.
The stoclsmen in Kissimmee and vi

TAKES
RUN Of LUCY \.
TO SOUTHPORT
STEAMER is MAKING TRIAL TRIP
TO DETERMINE If 1T WILL BE
PROFITABLE FOR HER TO PUT
SOUTHPORT ON THE REGULAR
SCHEDULE.

In last weeks issue of the Chipley
Verdict the Southport correspondent
says: The steamer Tarpon came into
Fannin bayou last Thursday and de-
livered a cargo of freight. The Tar
pom is on trial trips now to determine
IL it will be profitable for her to put
Southport on her regular schedule.
While the schooner Lucy H. was at
the dock Thursday night someone ap-
preached her and applied a match.
Capt. Danford and part of the crew
were across the bay a Lynn Haven
and arrived back just in time to save
the ship. One of the cotton mattresses
was on fire when one of the crew
came aboard and would soon have had
the boat in flames. No one knows
why anyone should desire to commit
such al crime All the belongings to
the crew had been removed and the
entire loss would have fallen upon the
boat owners.
The Lucy H. has been laid off duty
on account of the new arrangements
with the Tarpon to handle the freight
for this place.

RECEIPTS 60 TO

BALL RECEIPTS IN 1884 WERE
SMALL, BUT IN RECENT YEARS
THEY HAVE REACHED GREAT
AMOUNTS
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

New York, Oct. Box Office re-
ceipts, barometer Of interest in the
worlds series games, have scared to
dizzy heights since the Providence
and the Metropolitan Clubs battled
! for the first worlds championship in
1884 Staged in New York the pre-
mier fight aroused little more than
passing interest, was lightly attended
and reaped so scant harvest Of re-
ceipts that the clubs never even pub
lished the figures. Some idea of what
they may have been is Cleaned from
the contest the next year between the
j Chicago Club of the National League
and St. Louis of the American Assoc
citation.
Seven games were played in four
cities, Chicago, ST. Louis, Pittsburgh
and Cincinnati. The fight was not
Chicago won three, st. Louis three
and one game was tied. Such a situa-
ton in this years fght for the PEN
nant would result in tremendous box
office receipts. Yet the entire seven
games in 1885 yielded but $4,000.
Those were the days when a seat
in the bleachers cost quarter and
fifty cents provided the best seats in
the grandstand Even this modest ad--
mission seems to have kept many en-
thusiasts away from the games Not
only this, widespread enthusiasm was
negligible in the contests. From their
humble origin admission prices have
grown to the dignity of $50 for a box
seating four down at the edge of dia-
mond in 1918. And dollar is the
least of bills that will admit one to
the contest. This buys a seat in the

But the evolution from the days of
empty seats to the roaring bleachers
and the laundering grandstand pack

1887 when ST. Louis and Detroit

The general went to the islands in
1900. At that time he was a captain
in the Second infantry. He showed
such aptitude for administration and
was so we'll liked by the natives, that
in 1908 he was elected governor Of the

the only time an American was ever
elected TO Office by the natives.
Later he went into the consta bulary

KENT WILL
FIGHT THE
AUTO TAX
Owners Believe School Board
Has Not Legal Right to
Make Levy
EMPLOY LAWYER
TO MAKE THE TEST

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
HARRINGTON. Del, July 26-
This town is in turmoil over the
orders issued by the School Board,
that automobiles, must be taxed for
school purposes. For days and nights
during the week, the subject has
been the main topic in the stores and
offices as well as at the homes of the
people, and frequently has there
been narrow escapes of collisions in
wordy contests between the ad
vocates of the order and those op-
posed to it.
So pronounced has the matter be-
come and to such high state of ex
citement has il reached, that the
more determined have employed
counsel to test the right OF the
School Board to tax automobiles for
school purposes
Notwithstanding the assertion
that the Srhool Board OF Newark
taxed machines and won out and
with Smyrna, Del, following the eH-
ample, owners of machines. here do
not intend to pay such tax if there
is any way out of II.
As is known from one end of the
State to the other, Harrington has
one of the finest school buildings in
the State, built at an expense Of
s25. 600. While the people Of Har-
rington believe that this bonded in
debtedness can be paid off in twenty
FIVE years by paying one thousand
dollars a year, IL has occurred to
those connected with the school
board that with an tax extra on auto
mobiles they can more readily pay it
off and thus be relieved of the burden
OF that taxation
So high has the feeling become,
that the school assessor. who gener-
ally makes the assesslheHi Of pro-
perty and personal effects, declined
TO perform the work. The board not
20 be thwarted in their intents and
purposes, is having the work done
by member Of the Board, r. y.
Short, who volunteered his services.
The assertions Of the owners Of
machines, is that automobiles are nc
more subject 20 taxation. than a
mans carriage. wagon or farming
supplements, and it is on this score
that the law will be tested.
William Watson Harrington, form.
erly deputy attorney general Of this
State, has been employed by several
OF the more promnent automobile
owners Of Harrington TO fight the
case before the courts and if possible
10 secure an early decision
Il is claimed that il II is decided
that automobiles are personal prop
erty and subject to taxation fol
school purposes. that many who nov
have machines will dispose OF them.
