in any and everything that may d.
Tectly or indirectly have any inhu-
ence in bringing about the desired
condition-the Greater City. Many
present tendencies on the part Of
some Of our people must be corrected.
It IS frequently heard around the
streets that there is so strong ieel-
Ing Of jealousy between the present
city Of Pascagoula and the city Of
Mos Point. that any activity or de-
velopment which might benefit the
one town is froNnyi upon by the
other. II any such erroneous spirit
exists in the minds Of any OF our
people, il must be destroyed for
there is nothing so destructive to
progress as the rety iealousieS which
manifest themselves on the part Of
people whose vision is clouded,
whose Imagination IS deadened, and
consequently, whose best abilities
are crippled; for according to Holy
Writ, Where there is no vision,
the people perish" There should
be in the mind Of every man, wo-
man and child Of Jackson county, a
clear. strong never failing vision Of
the Greater PaSeaeoula, city EN-
bracing within its confines the pres
ent towns Of Moss Point, Escatawpa,
East Side, Pascagoula and South
PaScagoula, all incorporated as one
municipality. and having one su-
preme puTpose-to forge ahead in
every line Of public and private i'm
provement, and make this City a
place and name among the great
seaports Of the United States.
The great plant Of the Southern
Paper Company was located out on
the Eseatawpa river, and Moss Point
has extended her city limits to take
in the paper mill; but the great fac
tory means just as much for Pasca-
goula, and no visitor to this city is
permitted to leave without having
been shown the paper mill, as a
part of our industrial development.
And the Government Supply Station
which has been located at Pssca'
goula is quite as much a valuable
acquisition for Moss Point. So there
can be no question but that the in
terests Of this entire community are
identical, and can best be fostereC
and increased by unity Of purpose
and plan. In Unity there is strength
and as stated at the beginning o.

ISPURT OF THE BOSTON
 BRA YES IS A MARVEL
NO Team In Games History Has Been Place July and Won the Pennant- -Stallings' Men
 Have Set Record
By MONTY

New York, September 12.-Ten years from now. when the high spots in base bal history come up for discussion, 1914 will ro ceive more~than its share of at tcntion Whenever a parallel is wanted for any major league that ever existed, ball team of the future the admoni- tion will be. Remember the Boston Braves of 1914" A study of the ar chiyes of the game fails to reveal am ether case where a team was last after the Fourth of July and managed to sprint until 1t led the league. This goes for any major leage that ever existed, including the ancient Union associa- tion, Brotherhood and old American association. as we'll as the National and American leagues of today.
 It took the Braves exactly SO days after July 4, when they started their attack, to get their first breath of first place atmospheric. On the morning of July they were last in the Ieagus and at dawn on September they were in first place. Whether the Braves eventually win the National league flag or not. those 50 days will go down in the book as a monument to George Stallings and his plucky band of back bay patriots
 Here's the way the standing of the clubs was before the Braves got their spectacular climb under way, or as it looked on the morning of July 5:

CAPTAIN LONG EXPECTS LIGHT TEAM-LACKS QUARTERBACK. VANDEGRAAFF MAY DO PUNT ING-RESERVES MAY PLUG HOLES
Fly "rUBBY- LONG Captain Alabama Football Team

Tuscaloosa, September 13.-(Special)-A definite idea of how the Crimson eleven will stack up this fall is hard to ob- tain at the present time. The candidates have been at work for only few days and as this has been only preliminary practice, little importance is attached to the showing of the new men. Coach Graves and myself have a pretty good idea what to expect from the lettered men, but we are also banking on several pros poets. The reserves last year were an unusually effective lot. and several loom up as prospective varsity material Sev- eral holes need plugging up. but l be- lieve that this will be done in a suitable manner. The eleven this season may pos sibly be light, but do not believe this will not render it any less aggressive than in the past
 The letter men back this year are all in comparatively good shape, and a few weeks of hard work will see them in fighting trim.
 A weakness appears at quarterback due to the absence of "Dink' Hagan and Nathan. but the coach has his eye on 2 several, and we hope to have this plugged effectively before the season is well un-

The clip of the Braves during this stretch was almost unprecedented in a big league. Winning 39 games out of 30 played Is something almost beyond imag-
 nation While fans in the other seven cities were kicking against their home
 pride for losing a majority of games
 played they did not stop to think that
 the trouble vas caused in almost every
 instance by just one team. Nearly every
 club that lost majority of it's games during this time would have been a win
 ner of majority of it's games if it could
 have beaten the Braves instead of losing to them by margin of almost four to one.
 Many fans who still have faith in the third and fourth place clubs to close up the slight gap that separates them from the Giants and Braves will speak
 of the National league pennant race as four-cornered battle. To be sure t is by no means impossible for Chicago and St. Louis to land one-two, in event that the Giants and the Braves should fall into evil days within the next couple of weeks. Beginning next Wednesday there is going to be all the opportunity in the world for kaleidoscopic changes in the appearance of the table of stand- l fngs. From then on through October ,, two days before the end of the season. there is not single day without at least one game in which two of these
 first four clubs meet. So-called crucial
 series come one right after another in rapid rotation.
 On'next Wednesday the Cardinals tackle the Braves in Boston, That series ends Friday and the following day the Cubs file into the Polo grounds to assail the Giants The Cubs move out then on Wednesday, September B, when the Car dinals come into the New York lot for
 series that lasts three days. Then, on
 Saturday, September 26, the Cubs enter the stronghold of the Braves. That bat
 tie winds up the trip of the westerners in the east. The Cubs get away after | the Tuesday game but on the next day. September 90, the Braves meet the Giants
 at the Polo ground in a clash that runs four days.
 Overlapping into this crucial series is another one in the west, which begins on Friday, October g. the Cubs facing the Cardinals in St. Louis four days in row. When that war winds up on October 5, the crucial series of the year are over, the only games remaining on schedule being between the Giants and Phillies in the latter's stronghold and the Braves and Dodgers in Brooklyn ending on October z. It is not improb- able at that that these final battles with second division clubs will decide the is- sue, for the Giants and Braves may be neck and neck at the time they move against the under dogs.

are here, and here they seem likely to remain. Fortunately. ours are not of the variety that inoculates the human sys- tenn with malaria. But then neither are those that render Archangel, a place in Russia, well night uninhabitable during six weeks in every year.
 The Bangkok variety, too, is but little different in appearance from ours Yet it is almost as much as a mans life Is worth to venture into the streets there after dark during certain seasons of the year, and the people have to live for eight or nine weeks in the height of the summer enmeshed in cage-like creations of fine steel gauge.
 It is some consolation however to know that the authorities here have re- cenutly shown themselves alive to the danger that threatens us from this com paratively newly imported insect pest and have taken steps to destroy the lava by covering the ponds and other known breeding places in Ripping forest and elsewhere with thin layer of oil This is undoubtedly the best way to cope witt, the plague, which else, given an unusu- ally prolonged spell of very hot weather, may easily prove quite serious matter.
 Once person is bitten, however, he cannot do better. if there is any great amount of pain or discomfort, than adopt the old-fashioned remedy of fifteen drops of hartshorn or sal-voatile in half a wineglassful of camomile tea taken in- formally, while at the same time covering the part stung with piece of lint sooaked in lead lotion.
 This remedy is also an excellent one for wasp stings. which may eaisly prove far more serious than the bite of any mosquito. During the great plague of wasps of couple of summers back, for instance, quite a number of people were killed by them, usually through being stung in the throat, or the inside of the mouth, when death from suffocation may result In the course of few minutes.
 When, however. the injury is external. as 1t usually Is. the sting should be re- moved by first pressing the barrel of a small key over it. when 1t can be easily pulled out with the fingers. after which the anttdoto can be administered and the lotion applied as recommended above.

TINY PESTS WHOSE BITE KILLS

In view of the report that Chief In spector Francis Rolfe. the police giant attached to New Scotland Yard, died from gnat bite it is interesting to note that insect bites can prove fatal. says Pearson's Weekly.
 It seems but a tiny thing to cause the death of so big man; Inspector Rolfe stood feet inches in his stockinged feet, and was broad in proportion. Put the probability is that the insect was not
 gnat at all, but one of those peculiarly virulent British-bred mosquitoes that first made their apparance in these is-
 lands some tight or nine years ago, and
 which have been here ever since.
 It is, to say the least, . somewhat curi-
 ous coincidence that only a short time
 ago an anxious parent, living on the bor- ders of Epping forest, wrote to one of the daily papers complaining that his
 children had been badly bitten by these
 venomous little pests. and suggesting
 that they had been brought over here by Lascar seamen.
 Not a bit of 1t. The mosquito was domiciled in England, and was especially prolific in the Ripping Forest district. at least SO long ago as the summer of 1906, when 1t will be remembered we suffered
 from a heat wave of exceptional severity. the thermometer ranging up to over 90 degrees for several days on end, and on
 at least one occasion touching 100 in the shade.
 During the prevalence of this particular
 burst of subtropical weather the insects
 swarmed. literally in myriads, in various parts of the Thames valley. Numbers of people suffered very severely indeed from their bites. and at least three deaths were directly traceable to them.
 Various theories were then advanced for their presence amongst us. One was that they came over from the West Indies in the banana boatA Another was that they were imported in the esparto gra ss, of which large quantities were brought into this country for the manufacture of paper in the days before it was discovered that that commodity could be made from wood pulp. While yet another, and seem ingly more far-fetched theory, was that they were brought here by the Indian troops who came>to London for the coron- ation festivities in August, 1909.
 In what way the first of the little
 pests originally reached these shores,
 however, does not greatly matter. They

GIANTS LACK PROPER
 PITCHING STRENGTH
Marquard and Damaree Have Shown Poor Are Going Strong-Cubs and Cardinals Fight for Third
 Place-Athletics Continue in the Lead

New York September 13.-Boston clinched its grip on first place in the National league race last week and now holds the lead by an even two-game mar gin over New York.
 The Braves defeated the Giants two games in three, and won enough addl- tional games from Philadelphia to bring their playing rate for tie week up to the .667 mark. Meanwhile, the Giants losing five out of nine, were playing only at 444 clip.
 The Giants chances of regaining lost ground seem poor unless their pitchers do much better work. Marquard has failed to win even one of his last 1C games, and Demaree has been of little use all season. Tyler of Boston was hit hard his last time out, but James and Rudolph are pitching well. while Davis, 2. recruit seems to be a find that will

der way. Among those slated for trial at the position is Bill Johnson. Joplin, a quarter of the 1913 team, will also be on hand
 On account of the warm weather pre- vailing at present practice will not be rushed Several weeks intervene before the opening contest with Howard, while the date of the first important battle is further prolonged.
 This allows ample time for the devel- opment of the eleven without taking chances through the rushing of work Something like 10 old men are back, and this is an excellent nucleus to commence with.
 The training given the reserves last fall by Coach Graves and Chick Hannon will bear fruit this season, for several of them appear about ripe for the varsity. The training received in 1913 will prove in- valuable to them in their fight for let ters.
 The squad at the present time is rather bulky on account of the number of fresh men and light sophomores who are out to get in line for the class games. Shortly the pruning knife will be used by Coach Graves and the candidates thinned down to the more desirable ones. When this is done the varsity will be able to get down to active work.
 From present appearances we will be fairly well fortified with punters tnis tune. Bully VandeGraaff is bootng the pigskin better than ever before, and he is averaging considerable distances Sup porting him are several others of no mean ability.
 We are in the game this season to pay back several old scores, and we intend to stubbornly contest every inch of ground. The Crimson line may still be thin, but the drive and grit will be evil denced in large sized packages unless l am badly mistaken.

He said that party politicians be- ieved their side to be always right, and the other side to be always wrong. Whatever the other side advocated. it was horrible and internal; whatever their own side advocated was holy He said the partisan couldn't under stand that you might arrive at the right thing by more ways than one-and thus the partisan was like the urcfin whose teacher said: maker Eleven

With no chance to overhaul the Barons, making final effort to land second place in the 1914 race. By triumphing twice over the Turtles yesterday, Mobile moved into second place when New Or leans was humbled by Bernie Roland. New Orleans has but two more games to play against Nashville, while Mobile has two battles with the Turtles. Atlanta has four games with Birmingham and can finish higher than either New Orleans or Mobile, if their opponents adversaries are successful.
 Atlanta is two and ohe-half games be- hind Mobile and one and one-half games in the rear of the Pelcans. Billy Smith is going to give the Barons a hard bat tie for he realizes that second place will elevate him in the estimation of the followers of the Crackers.
 The Barons spent Sunday in Brming- ham and seemed very Jubiliant over their success They will leave this morning for Atlanta where the final four games will be played. It was rumored about town that the series would be transferred to Birmingham, but the rumor proved to be wrong. President Baugh was very anxious to see the series switched to Rick wood, but Atlanta evidently did not like the idea.
 Perryman will oppose Birmingham this afternoon Carl Thompson will pitch Tuesday, Elliott Dent Wednesday and Frank Browning Thursday. Birmingham is expected to fight hard, for it does not want to show any favoritism in the race. Mobile and New Orleans are to be con- sidered.
 Louisville won yesterday in the Ameri- can association from Cleveland, but Mill waukee, in second place, scored two triumphs over its opponents and thus gained one-half of a game the Col Onels. However, Louisville still maintains a full game lead over the Brewers.
 Indianapolis is not to be considered out of the race, as they are close third Should Milwaukee win the bunting in the Association it is extremely doubtful if the post-season venture could be ar. ranged However, Louisville has a well balanced team and is favored to take the pennant.
 The big league moguls will assemble in Cincinnati on September 15 to begin the annual drafting from the minors. In all probability. they will select a Fir mingham player. Chony Frank, scout fol Cleveland. intimated that he would insert . draft for Arthur Johnson, as he stated that in his estimation the lanky Baron was the most likely youngster in the league Bill Schwartz. manager of the Nashville club is acting as confidential agent of some major league club When in Birmingham recently, Schwartz stated that he had advised that club to insert slip for Jack Wallace. the young Bir- mingham backstop.
 Curley Brown has pitched such excel lent ball that he will surely draw a draft Thus if seems as though the big league maerates will have lively competition to annex Baron. New Orleans, Nashville Chattanooga. Atlanta and Birmingham are expecting to be riddled by a draft.
