the manager of the Browns, with q
view of inducing the club to train mere
next season. Exactly what induce
ments will have to be offered is not
known. Mr. Hannah expects to ascer-
tain this within the next few days.
Derrill Pratt, crack second baseman
of the Browns, an old Hattiesburg
boy who played on the Hattiesburg
team OF the Cotton States League be-
fore it disbanded, is "pullinz" for Hat
tiesburg, and it is possible that his
influence will go long way.
| Efforts were made the first of this
year to secure the Washington Amer
leans for Hattiesburg during the train
! ing season, but Manager Clark Grif-
| fifth stated that Charlottesville, Va,
already had been selected for the 1915
season. At that time, plans were ten
tatively made for fixing up Hamper
Park for the use of the players. 1t

required to guard a continuous stream
of transports from England to France

from German raids. Naval observers
are of the opinion that the use of
destroyers for the protection of ship

are trying to force England to do
but they say that the admiralty, with
its eye first on the naval and mill

SOUTHS|DE COMPANY
HAS LEAK SOMEWHERE

That there are important losses in
transmission on the power lines of the
Southside Gas and Electric company
was brought out at the hearing of the
company's rate case before the corpor-
alton commission. Data was presented
by Engineer Ferguson for the COM
mission showing that the loss between
the power plants and consumers
amounts in many cases to as much as
rty-five per cent, whereas the normal
loss is not in excess of twenty per cent.
The company will at once begin a sys-
tematic investigation of meters and it's
transformers
Ten days was given by the commits
sion for the company to prepare and
file its briefs in the case. H. L. Chand-
Ter manager, and Attorney Silverthorn
