wouldn't do final business with Per-

McGraw Rescues Him From Outlaws And Will Give
Two in Trade.

Marlin, Texas, March3-A deal has
just been put through between John
Mcesraw and Miller Higgins by
which the Giants get a arst-cIass
pitcher from the Cardinals staff.
s.Po11' Perritt is on his way here from
his home in Brice, La, to join the
Giants and is expected in the morn
ing in the c-mpany of Dick Kinsella,,
whom McGraw sent to Brice to COM
p1ete the deal which McGraw started
when he left the Giants in Texarkana

The Cardinals are to get players

thing not yet settled. That is to be
decided later, and McGraw thinks
Higgins will be here shortly from
San Antonio to complete that end
of the transaction. Higgins wants
an inf1elder and an outf1elder. Nc
Graw has an abundance of these, but

of the numerous nations represented
in the schools here and the prone

AS a result, he recently ISSUED a
circular letter to the teachers. In

CONTEMPORARY CLUB
ENJOYS REVIVAL OF
DICKENS CHARACTERS

Mr. Rickwick, Samuel Weller. Mr..
Wrinkle Mr.. Tupman and Mr. Snod-
grass Mrs. BardelI and a number OF
other immortals of the pen OF Dick
ems were revived in the hearts OF the
members of the Contemporary Club
last evenins by Frank Speaight, an
original reader and in1personater. The
meeting which was largely ATTENDED
was at the residence Of Judge and
Mrs. Morris B. Eeardsley, 2SO Park
place. and Rev. John NacEaren
Richardson introduced the speaker.
Mr. Speaight began by giving a
very brief account of the life Of the
famous author in which he particu-
Iarly attributed much Of Dickens ge-
MUS to the hardships undergone when
hei was a small boy working in a
backing factory. Here it was that
he picked up the street cries and
many Of the characters whom ne
later portrayed for all time Com
ment was made upon the fact that the
''Pickwick Papers were finished be
fore he was % years of age and that
much of his best loved works were
written between that time and his
first visit to America when he was
only 50 years old.
Mr.. Speaight's impersonation OF the
characters was most unusual and de-
lightfu1 and provoked unlimited
nirth among his audiences. He had
4
five chapters for impersonadon and
reading, as follows:
Chapter introducing Mrs. Bars
dell, Mr.. Piekwiclz and Sam Weller.
Chapter u-How to manage
horses.
Chapter III-Mrs. Bardeu talzed
action for suit for breach OF pronz
Use, Mr.. Wrinkle gives example u4

Chapter IV.-sam Weller ver2
much in evidence
Chapter V.-The great trial o.
BardeIl VS.. Pickwick.
It would be hard to say which of
the five chapters was the most enjoy
ed. Probably the last one in which
the trial scene was depicted was the
funniest of the series. Mr. Speaight'z
Sam. Weller throughout the chapters
was unusually splendid.
The reader responded to the insis-
tent applause with an encore OF

A pretty youth, who played agatnse

no difficulty in tearing off their two
opponents. They beat Jersey City

from the Atlas i've of New Haven

The Jersey City boys tried hard
but were not able to stand up, against

Chambers, whose hom Is here. and one of our League pitchers, pitched the last game for Monti- cello, and famed out 13 men, and only allowed five hits, while our local pickup anl got seven hits off the Dermott pitchers. The Dermotters had seven of their League players in the game against only one of ours, and then only won the game by score of : to ). According to the games played, Warren won the first place, while Monticello and Wilmar tied for the second place, with Dermott close upon their heels. It is true that one Mr. Judd, President of the League, and Manager of the Will mar team, added one game to the Wilmar list, and gave Monticello one more lost game, by what he called forfeiture to Wilmar. Our manager says that he had no notice that such game was to be played, and thus 1t will be seen that such forfeit ure was illegal and arbitrary, and will cut no figure in a decent reckoning. However, Monticello cares nothing about the second place, and would scorn honors so easily and cheaply won. What we count is games won on the field in open contest, be- tween two fully equipped and or ganized teams playing ball, and not games won by a single in dividual, playing President, team-manager, umpire, pitcher, catcher and all, by his lone and lonely self.
 Monticello was bit slow in starting out with a first-class team, and got a bad start; but when it finally lined up, it won more games than any of the oth. CT teams, and her people are perfectly satisfied with the mag nificent showing made.
 Having had lot of College boys in our team we had to re- lease them a few days before the season ended, in order that they could be at the opening of their respective schools, and it was then too late to supply their places with expert players, which fact, alone, accounts for our losing the last game played. Batteries for the last game.

 Men.

The demand for telegraph Operators was never so great as at the present time. The largest telegraph school in America equipped with over a hundred sets of instruments, miniature train systems, a train wire of a main line railroad, all telegraph and frieght blanks, tickets, in fact everything just as complete as found in the best equipped
 railroad offices, the. best practi- cal teachers to be obtained, thor oughly experienced in conner cial and railway telegraphy, station and frieght work-The Tyler Commercial College of Ty- Ter, Texas Is unable to anyways near supply the demand upon it by the railroads and telegraph companies for operators. So far this year we have had thirty per cent more bona-fide calls for graduates than we have had students to take up the study of telegraphy. Just as surely as a young man will complete our course of telegraphy and station work, just so surely will he be placed in good position. The same is true where our course of bookkeeping, shorthand, stenotypewriting and cotton chasing or business administra- tion and finance is completed.
