SHORTAGE IN CARS

POULTRY SHIPMENTS
LOCAL DEALERS GETTING THEIR

binary Shipments Throughout the
Country and the Flood Congestion
In Ohio.
saturdays Daily.)

There is a poultry car shortage in
Tennessee and this section Of the
state that is seriously affecting the
shipments to the east. The shortage
is due to the heavy shipments being
made this spring, together with the
blockade that has obtained during
the past few weeks on the New York
Central lines in the flooded sections
OF Ohio and indiana. Thu. sday
morning there was Tennessee de.
mand for more than fifty poultry
cars and this morning this had in.
creased to perhaps seventy-five.
Thursday morning there was not an
available car to fill these orders, and
Saturday morning thorough inquiry
through the freight departments of
the various roads showed less than
a dozen cars rolling this way.
Fortunately the local dealers tave
been wide awake to the conditions,
and the Columbia Produce Co. had
one car when the cry first started
and held on to it. The William Bar.
ker Produce Co. has been making the
wires hot the past two days in an ef-
fort to secure a car for relief. and
one car came in for them about A
o'clock this morning.
The Bishop Produce Co. have been
making arrangements to make ship
merts in the regular way in ordinary
freight cars if the poultry cars are
not secured. There is a hope that
this will not have to be resorted to.
but cars that were reported from the
east to be coming to Tennessee have
not shown up and the shippers think
they have. been stopped enroate by
other shippers.
Should the present shipping condi.
tons continue there will be a heavy
slump in the prices of hens, al the
dealers will not continue to buy if
they cannot get their purchases to
the market.

Little Lucy Hill the six yea: old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Francis
Hill, was accidentally shot Satur.
day at her home at Neapo)is, and
died an hour later.
The information from there is to
the effect that the children were
handling a shot gun in the room
where they were congregated when
an older sister, Maud, took ne gun
for the purpose of putting it away
and was pushing it under the bed
when it was discharged.
Little Lucy was standing a few
feet away and in line of the shor and
the charge entered her thigh and the
lower part of her abdomen.
The parents were out of the room
at the time but we,e summoned at
once and did all they could for the re-
lief of the little one, but death re-
suited about $50 o'clock. The shock
and the loss of blood caused the child
to sink rapidly.
The funeral took place at Ne

o'clock, and burial followed at the

have been well attended.
Elder -Pullias is a man of remarka.

and intensely interesting, and those
who have been in attendance during
the week are highly pleased. The
church house was well filled Thurs
day night Notwithstanding there were
a number of other things to draw the
people away from this service.
The song service under the direc-

has proven a most attractive feature,
and is giving great satisfaction.
These services are conducted in ad-

and distance in running out extra base
hits. You would be surprised how
much the clever baseman can impede
you, unless you are watching for him
on long hit and long run around
the bases.
A base runner must play the same
game to checkmate the baseman. That
Is, to lean on the inside when you turn
the base and be ready to give him a
jab with the shoulder. You will find
that the infielder will politely step
back and give you fair path and
doubtless will never bother you again.
These are only tricks of the trade
which every baseball player tries to
work on his opponent. They have q
place in our great game of baseball.
To the fans / would say, always re.
member when you see collision be-
tween base runner and baseman that
both probably had a Finger in the
pie" They are trying to best one an
other, so don't put all the blame on
the one who gets the best Of it and
give all your sympathy to the one who
is worsted As / have said, it's all a
part of the game.
Study Every Angle of the Game
There are so many tricks to the
base running art that it would re-
quire several pages to describe them
all. In conclusion, / want to say that
the man who becomes successful is
the man who studies every angle OF
his art or business. Don't think be-
cause you were able to do 100 yards
in ten seconds on the cinder path
that you can go on the baseball dia-
mond and become wonderful base
runner Speed is only the beginning.
Brains are the big factor.

Tennis
PLAYERS GET
ACHANCE

SAN FRANCISCO. April 2t.-The
lawn tennis champion of the Pacific
Coast win soon be matched against
the best racket wielders OF the world
and consequently win be unable t1
take part in the Coast championships
for 1913.
This fact serves to heighten the In
terest In the recent performances ol
ether Coast experts and renders their
clans for the season interesting at this
time.
In California the only championship
tournaments so far completed have
been the Coronado and the Long
Beach. both Of which were played dur
ing February.
These events served to bring out
the strength Of the younger players
of San Francisco, but were unsatisfac'
tory In that they did not attract the
full strength of the southern portion
OF the state In either singles or dou,
bles.
William Johnston of San Francisco
won the singles. both at Coronado and
Long Beach, while In doubles, William
Johnston, coupled with Nat Browne Of
Los Angeles, captured the Coronado
championship and at Long Beach the
contest In doubles narrowed down to
TWO San Francisco teams-Johnston
and Fottrell and Strachan and Grimm,
and was finally won by Strachan and
Griffin.
Two Eastern Championships.
On the East coast. two important
championship meetings have also been
completed. The fourth winter cham
picnship Of Florida was held at Palm
Beach early in March. and the singles
was won by Theodore Roosevelt Pell
Of New York from Percy d. Siverd Of
Pittsburgh. The doubles champions
ship was won by Harold Hackett and
r. C. Inman Of New York from Percy
d. Siverd and j. A. Cote Of Pittsburg.
The entry list Of this tournament
contained the names Of more than
twenty ot The bo9k players ol Nv
York, Massachusetts and PennsyF
vania, and among them were At least
three Of the ex.ehampions Of Amarica.
Pell, the winner Of the singles. has
ranked among the best ten OF America
during the last five years.
The fourteenth annual indoor cham
pionship was held in New York Feb
ruary 18th to 10th.
Gustave F. Touchard. formerly OF
San Francisco. won the championship.

who is good base stealer, but
you rarely see much about
the man who is good base
runner. ! consider there Is lot OF
difference between the base stealer
and the base runner. Some players in
the major leagne nave the knack of
getting around the bases on safe hit
balls much better than some of the
speed merchants who are good base
stealers. These good base runners
are seldom mentioned in the news
papers.
I consider the base runner of more
value to his team than the base
stealer. Some base pilferers do not
have the knack of taking advantage
of balls hit to the outfield or even the
infield. A base runner who is al
ways on the jump, ready to take adj
vantage of the slightest opportunity
to advance, throws the opposing team
up In the air. A mere stolen base
probably will not effect the team in
the least.
Be Always on the Jump
To be a good base runner you must
always have the jump on any drive
TO the outfield; know the man who
is retrieving the ball; know the base
man who is going to take the THROWN
and know how to run from first to
third or from first to home plate the
shortest possible way.
The quickest way to get around
the bases is to tag each base with
the left foot, crossing over with your
right. That gives runner the short
est possible turn and keeps him from
swinging way out to the edge of the
diamond.
In rounding bases on a long hit
when the throw is from the right or
center fielder. the base runner should
watch the third basemans eyes. Try
to Judge the course of the ball from
the way he is looking, and run in a
line of it so that you will defect it
away from the baseman. This usu-
ally nets run If pulled off success
fully.
} A base runner should never let up
in his speed when coming into a bag,
when he sees some baseman with a
luNSy dAo
arms down at his side. 1t is an old
trick he is trying to work, for the
ball is close and he is only trying to
throw the hase runner off his guard
so that he viii slow up slightly and
come in standing up. When he does
this, the baseman will grab the ball
and slam it into his ribs for an out.
The base runner has been tricked.
Try to Checkmate Raseman
The runner should always think his
plans out first. He should try to figure
out what the baseman is thinking of
and planning to do and then check
mate him If possible. The base run
ner must always be quick of mind
and action.
The base runner must know how to
thwart the baseman who stands near
TO the bag, his intention being to
make you take the outside of the bag
or slightly shoulder you as you pass
to throw you off your balance and
stride. He means to force you to take
q wide turn, thereby losing much time
