Delhi, La, Aug. /, 1915.
To the Editor of the Brandon
News.
I have been teaching singing
school at Stouts School house,
eight miles from Delhi, for the
past seven days and | find the
children of this community do
better in singing than in any
other place | have thought.
The roads here in Franklin
Parish are about the best roads
| have ever travelled over. To
Sumpter Chapman's residence
is is about six miles and it is a
source of delight to travel over
to his place. When you reach
there you will find fine water
watermelons and peaches the
largest and best | ever ate. Mr..
Perkins, Mr.. Chapman and my
self gathered three of his peach
es and found them to weigh one
pound thirteen and a half ounces.
The crops are simply magnifi-
cent and after we had gone
over Mr.. Chapman's farm, we
decided he would easily make
three forths of a bale to each acre
and about forty barrels of corn
to the acre, about the same will
be made on all the farms around
here.
The folks of this place are the
most hospitable and entertain
ing. They have entertained me
most royalty and | fully appre-
ciate the kindness that has been
bestowed upon me.
The other night decided |
would sleep on the porch and
after quietly resting for about
an hour. the wolves began to
howl and came so close that |
decided / had better withdraw to
the inside to continue my SUM
Der.
Again thanking the people for
their kindness and hoping | may
be in their midst teaching an
other singing school next sum-
mer.
| am very truly,
f. w. LITTLE.

Speed
Events NEEDS
GREATEST CARE

The recent announcement of the In
tercollegiate Rowing Association, re-
ducing the time of all the crews in the
Poughkeepsie regatta by one minute.
calls attention to the fact that neither
timers nor stop watches are infal-
liable. In the case of this race the
watch of the chief timer Jumped" a
minute at the start and, as a result,
the time of Cornell, the winning crew,
was given as 20 minutes SO 3-5 sec
onds instead of 10 minutes SO 3-5 Sec
onds.
While such mistakes are unusual.
errors do occasion ally creep into the
records and are not always corrected,
as was done IN this case. The stop
watch used for timing athletic and
sporting events Is an exceedingly deli
cate piece of mechanism and has to
be handled with care and respect. 1t
contains about four times the amount
OF machinery that goes to make up an
ordinary watch and there is conse-
quentIy four times as much mechan-
ism to get out of order. It requires
full days work on the part of an
expert watch rapairer to correct a
fault or break and careful timers keep
from two to three watches on hand
and have them inspected at least once
a month.
They range in price from $65 to
$3.50, and the highest price watches
have six hands all working when tim
ing an event. Three. moves are neces-
sary in timing. One press of the fin
ger starts the watch, a second stops
the hands registering the time, and
the third sends the hands back to
normal again. Nothing but porpoise
head oil is used to lubricate the works
and the oil. costing $3.50 a gallon, is
dropped in with a morphine needle.
These watches are set to tick at the
rate of five to the second; 800 per
minute and $4,000 per hour.

PORTSIDERS ARE HAVING
POOR SEASON THIS YEAR
leftHanded Pitchers in Bio Leagues are Failures Many
Cases-Tyler Marquard, Gregg and Leonard Examples

/ wheczer Dell. Both these fellows have
been doing great mound work. ana
Jeff Pfeffer. the leading slabman Of
the team last year. has begun to ex-
ai5it his former effectiveness.
Rucker. the greatest lefthander Of
them all a few seasons back. has lost
all of his old speed Even the aver
age high school pitcher can zip the
ball across faster than he can. But
Nap has considerable head on his
shoulders, also considerable curve ball
and considerable control Using the
slowest kind of fioater, he made the
Giants look sick in the afternoon Of
the Decoration day doubleheader.
However. 1t showed he had it in him
and some more of that same stripe
would mean much for the team.
The Cardinal Failures.
Slim Sallee and Hank Robinson of
the Cardinals are two more failures
to date. Wilbur Cooper of the Pitts
burg Pirates, and Earl Hamilton of
the Browns have been independable,
too, Hamilton was suspended for
breaking training rules Just as Leon
ard of the White Sox was He is rein
stated now and has shown an inclin-
alton to return to his capable winning
ways. but thus far his figures are by
no means Impressive Connie Mack's
Athletics had dismal enough outlook
as it was without counting on any
breakdown of his most promising
pitcher. RUDE Bressler. big boy,
who resembles Eddie Plank in motion,
has done absolutely nothing thus far
to justify the confidence reposed in
him.
Rube Marquard. one of the queer
est mixtures of good and bad to be
found anywhere. began his year with
a no-hit game and then Immediately
sank into mediocracy or worse. He
has won q couple of games during
the last few weeks in which the oppo-
sition got nearly ten runs on him,
simply being lucky enough to have the
assignment on the days when the Gil
ants hit still harder and got still more
runs for him.
A Few Exceptions.
Only few left-handers have been
delivering the goods as they should
Rebel Russell of the White Sox will
be quite a factor in his clubs success
II he can keep on as at present, and
may even mean the difference be-
tween Just a fair team and a flag
winner. George Pierce and Jim
Vaughn of the Cubs have gone along
in fine shape, and Manager Roger
Bresnahan can congratulate himself
on being about the only man In the
world that has two really good left
handlers this year. RUDE Benton has
pitched a good game here and there
for Cincinnati. Harry Covelskie has
been the big noise for the Detroit
Tigers. Joe Boehling's work for the
Washington Senators has been well
above par These last few mentioned
are enough to keep the i'll fortune Of
the left-handers from being unani-
nous. but some of their fellows will
have to perk up If the brigade as a
whole is going to land up with or
ahead of the rignt-handers for the
year.
