AVERAGE REACHES
ITS HIGHEST POINT
Almost a Quarter Million
Pounds of Tobacco Sold
at Average of $3.50.
SEASONS BEST SALE.
Growers Highly Pleased With
Prices Obtained at the
Bourbon Warehouse.

The best sale of the season was
held Saturday at the warehouse Of
the Bourbon Tobacco Warehouse
Co. The sales floors were crowded
to OVERLOOKING, the receipt for the
week end sale being far in excess Of
any during the present season. The
amount of tobacco which was 245, 460
pounds, was about twice as much as
has been handled at any one -Sale
since the opening of the house.
The total amount or tobacco offered
was sold for total of $35, 131.47, the
average for the entire consignment
being $3.50, which was the highest
yet attained. The prices ranged from
$3.50 to $25 per hundred pounds, with
a large number at 500 above the mar
ket. Reflections were very light, the
farmers being pleased with the prices
obtained.
At the sale Saturday there were
crops from Harrison and Nicholas
counties, the growers of those Sec
tions being attracted by the high pri-
ces being paid on the local market,
which in almost very instance has
eclipsed those of other cities The
quality of tobacco was just to the
liking of the buyers and competition
throughout the day was very lively
and bidding on the choice lots spir-
tied
The highest average of the day was
made upon crop belonging to ]. J.
Redmon & Brooks, which went to the
high average of $500 while the con-
signment Of Adair e Perkins averag-
ed S1S. There were number of SIG
and ST averages, while medium
grades on the floors brought aver
ages around $13 and $14.
The entire clerical force at the
Bourbon Tobacco Warehouse was
rushed to 4 late hour Saturday night
in paying off the farmers who had
sold their crops. Receipts at the To-
cal house since Saturday have been
very heavy and indications point to
another good sale which is scheduled
for to-day.

erages of the sale Saturday:

FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. 5.-Botb
houses of the Kentucky Legislature
are in control Of the Beckham forces
The strength of the opposing factions
was thoroughly tested at the Dem
ocratic caucus of the Senate and
House this afternoon, resulting in the

Louisville.
Assistant Clerk-Oscar Wicker.
Sergeant ta-Arms-Oscar Vest, of
Carrolton.
Enrolling Clerk-Mary A. Richards,

The House caucus was of consid-
cradle length, but as soon as it be-

following were in control the inter.
est shifted to the Senate chamber,

OJINAGA, MEXICO. Jan. 5.-An
doubt as to the intention OF the north
ern division of the Mexican Federal
army to defeat the Rebels or stay
here until every soldier is dead was
dispelled by Gen. Francisco Castro,
leader of the general Federal troops,
and Gen. Ynez Salazar, commander
of the Federal volunteers in inter-
views at headquarters to-day.
Retreat of Federal soldiers across
the border to the United States terri
tory would be induced only by some
unexpected event, according to the
two commanders, and even if all the
soldiers deserted, the generals say
they Would remain to die at their
posts.
Dead soldiers lying unburied in
the outer trenches and hundreds of
living soldiers on duty for a week
without sleep were some of the scenes
witnessed to-day in an inspection of
this frontier village. So far neither
side has made material hallway eX-
cept in the drain on the Federal
ranks. A few of the abode houses
used as Federal forts have been de-
Emolished, but the damage to fortifi-
cations made of dirt has been casual.
Heavy cannonading marked sixth
day OF the seige without any results
other than to increase the number of
dead and wounded. The latter from
both sides are sent across the border
and are cared for by the Red Cross.
They now number $50, and the i'm
provised hospitals are crowded.
Tie Federal army with its eleven
generals are making valient stand
against retreat 1t is said the Reb-
els have become dishearteHed over
the failure to take the town and are
likely TO await the arrival of the
promised achievements form Chihua
hua before venturing another gen
eral attack.

fth's comment when he announced
that he had reluctantly decided to
send Harry Holland back to the At

In the practice game here yesterday

Washington got only six hits and two
of these went to the credit of Hol-

Federals File Suit
Restraining Killifer
From Joining Phils

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH, March 20.
The reserve clause" in baseball play
ers' contracts, the instrument by
which organized baseball has retained
its strange hold on its athletes, was
brought into the Federal Courts here
to-day with the filing OF a petition
FOR a court order restraining William
J. Killifer, catcher for the Philadel
phia Nationals, from breaking his
contract with the Chicago club of the
Federal League. The suit must be
prosecuted in Michigan because Kilt
fers home is at Paw Paw, in that
State. 1t will be heard April 3.
Edward L. Gates, of indianapolis.
general counsel for the Federal
League, filed the petition on behalf of
Charles Weeghman, president of the
Chicago Federal League club. copy
Of the contract signed by Killifer,
agreeing to play for three years with
the Chicago club for a salary of
$5,SS3.33 a year for three years, was
offered as exhibit "a"
The petition charges that kiflifer
was paid $500 when he signed the
Federal League contract, and that he
agreed to report to the team to go
on it's spring training trip to Shreve-
port, La. Killifer, according to the
complaint, still retains the $500 and
has not reported for spring practice.
The complaint states that Killifer
is "a catcher of unique and eXtraOr
binary skill and experiences, and OF
such personal and intellectual char
acter" that no other catcher can fill
his place.

Second Game Called
Off by Crackers and
Maps; Too Chilly

The second game between the
Cleveland Maps and the Crackers, set
for Friday afternoon, was called off
after a consultation between Billy
Smith, manager of the Crackers, and
Joe Birmingham. boss of the Maps.
Practice in cold air, on a, wet and
slippery field is worse than no prac-
tice," said Bill, and Joe agreed with
him thoroughly.
Il don't want a crop of sore arms
to add to the other troubles of a
training season." said Joseph.
II was the hope of both managers
that the weather would warm by
time for the Saturday matinee, by
which time it also was certain that
the field would be good and dry, pro
vided J. Pluvius held off, which the
weather man expected him to do.

More Tech
Players to
the Pros.

H.
The list includes Amason, who is
working out with Atlanta; Bur
roughs, who will play with the Cor
dele club, and Henry Collier, who
has Joined the Washington club. In
addition to these there are two
other players. il not three, who will
likely be found in professional ball
before the summer is over. inasmuch
rs they have already been approached
on the subject.
Burroughs played short in a num-
Der of games during the spring of
1911 and performed quite creditably.
He is a much better player now than
he was then, as he showed in his
game with the alumni team against
Tech last Saturday. He is very fast,
has a good arm and is very fiashy
fielder.
Henry Collier hardly needs an In
PRODUCTION, for it can not be that he
has already been forgotten. He
pitched in the spring of 1909 and of
1910 for Tech, sharing the work his
first year with Mayer, now with the
Philadelphia Nationals, and the sec.
oud year with Doc Wilson. In his
first season as a yellow Jacket Col
lier was but 16 years of age. At
Tech his principal achievements
we're shutting Sewanee out in both
games of a double-header, which he
pitched one Saturday afternoon, and
his feat of shutting out Georgia for
a total OF SO innings in three games
that he pitched against the Red and
Black during his college career.
Since that time he has been prac-
tically out Of baseball, aud it remains
10 be seen whether he can come
back II is true he is plenty young
enough yet in years TO allow OF every
hope and prospect that he can whip
back into shape. Still, when a man
gives up athletics of any kind for
three or four Years on a stretch, no
matter how young he was at the
time. he finds It mighty hard to
round to in old-ume form, and the
chances are distinctly against his
doing So
But II Harry has not been out Of
the game too long he will make one
of the best pitchers the game ever
saw. never knew a youngster that
had so much at so tender an age as
had Collier; and if he has not lost
il by reason of becoming muscle
bound or something of that sort, he
will make Washington, in the course

ers. OF the former some ten or
twelve will be retained awhile longer,
while half that many catchers will
continue in harness to help handle

Jordan is showing up in fair form
and is liable to be called upon for
some varsity fiinging this spring. He
has been working out with the scrub
for the past three years and Is a
senior now. In this length of time
he has absorbed lot of knowledge
about the game.
A sliding pit has been constructed,
and each afternoon, after running
around the track TO timber up, all
the candidates are taken to the pit
and put through a dozen hook slides.
Some of them are already finished in
this department, while all the rest
are showing marked improvement.

SO far the outlook for long distance
