CHICAGO, April 30-Forty-
inches is the longest trunk that may
be carried as free baggage on rail-

the trunk with bullying side or bot

ing on the field for the first time in
history without red stockings. was
defeated by Chicago yesterday, 7 to 2.
Instead of the famous hose which
gave the club it's sobriquet of

the pale stockings of the Chicago
White Sox, lent by Owner Comiskey,
with complete outfit of uniforms,
gloves, bats and shoes, the Cincin-
natl teams uniforms having been
accidentally left at st. Louis. Mis-
fit shoes and in some cases tight
clothes handicapped the visitors.
Some were unable to, stoop low
enough to stop grounders and others
could not run fast enough to catch

this poor fielding and won easily.

S DETROIT, Mich, April 3O.-Chicago
defeated Detroit, 6 to 5, yesterday in
a hard fought Thinning game that
was full of thrills from start to nm
ish.
Ty Cobb, playing his first game of
the year, received an ovation when
he stepped to the plate in the first
inning, but failed to PRODUCE a hit
that would have scored Crawford,
who singled before him. In the third
the Georgian hit safely, driving in a
run, but in the eighth, with two on
bases, he rolled weakly to the pitcher
for an easy out. Cobb seemed to- have
his old-time speed. In the eleventh
he went from first to third while
Weaver threw out Gamer at the
initial sack. His two fielding chances
were not difficult. The score: R.HE

USING PARCELS POST
TO. VIOLATE Law
But Officials Cannot Interfere With
Mail Deliveries-Game War
dens Annoyed.

| State game WardenS have no right
to interfere with the acceptance OF
the delivery of wild game by the
/ parcel post, although such accept
ance or delivery might be the direct
means Of violating game laws.
A ruling to this effect has been
made by Postmaster General Burle-
son in answer to protests by officials
of several states, who complained
that their state game laws were be-
ing nullified by the agency of the
parcel post.
Congress has placed no restrictions
on the department as to accepting
game, Postmaster General Burleson
declared. The department, however
much it might desire to cooperate
with states in protecting wild life,
has no authority to discriminate in
accepting packages which conform
to the department regulations.
Postmasters must accept game for
shipment when it is so packed as to
conform to these regulations.
Absolute prohibition of shipping
game from the state or within the
state is a feature of many game laws.
Game wardens, of course, may pro-
secute offenders who are detected u.s.
ing the parcel post for illegal trans
portation of ducks or other game,
but must not interfere with postal
department employees in delivering
the parcels.

in the city Saturday, coming
down to visit friend at Mercy hos
pital. Mr.. Grant lived here from
1860 to 1862, making his home in
log house northwest of here near
the old Harris Touring mill. When
he moved into the log house a saw
mill stood on the. site where the
Touring mill was built later. The
saw mill was erected in 1856 and
the Touring mill, according to Mr..
Grants recollection, was built in
1862. This is Mr.. Grants first visit
to Webster City since he left more
than fifty years ago and he was I'M
able to find single person he knew
when he lived here. He expressed
surprise at the size and Importance
of Webster City and said while in
the FreemanTribune office that
forenoon that he was coming back
next summer and visit the places in
this vicinity that were so familiar to
him half century ago. His parents
came to Illinois in 1S43, in company
with the late Horace Segar, one of
the pioneer settlers of Cass township.
Mr.. Segar, according to Mr.. Grants
memory, came to Hamilton county
in 1856.
