TEN GOOD FANS can assure 81
Paso of organized baseball this
summer. John McClOskey is now
going around with the subscription
sheets for the FL Paso Baseball
club. One man has already agreed
to take $500 of stock. The capital
will be only $4,000, so nine more
business men can make things Sc
cure. The grounds will cost only a
little over $1,000 a year and with a
payroll-strictIy limited by the ma
tiOnal association-Of only $1,000 a
month, baseball in FL Paso should be
a high-paying investment. With a
little bit of luck, the owners OF the
local franchise should be able to get
back their original investment IN a
couple of years and still own a good
baseball plant. Organization of the
club will likely be completed within
a week, Tor as soon as the stock lists
close, meeting for the election Of
officers Will be called.
CONNIE MACK isn't a bit super
stitiOus. He is taking 10 re-
cruits to the Athletics training
camp. Some managers would call
that suicide but Connie has a habit
Of upSetting superstition.
BASKETBALL teams from all the
leading colleges and high schools
of the United States are to compete
in the big tournament soon to be
held in connection with the Panama

Of his different style, but he is no
match for Willard and is the first to
admit it.
Wizards Peculiarities.
Willard has two peculiarities in
feinting. He feints with his right hand
as well as his left, and he feints with
his face. The first thing you realize
when you box him is that you can not
tell anything about his intentions by
watching his face. He snorts and rush
es at you, twisting his features into
fiendish scOwl as if he meant complete
humiliation, his hands both drawn back
ready for use. You cover uD, expecting
wild onslaught, and he very deliberate
" picks out ne largest opening and
lets fly a straight one. If, on the other
hand you stand up and swing at his IN
protected jaw, he can easily beat your
punch with mis- long arms.

ONLY one HAS Been CAPTURED
Four Of Them Are Said to Have Gone
In Direction of Lewlsburg--Made
Break for Liberty About Eleven
O'Clock Sunday Night

Eight negroes broke the lock on
the steel cage, in which they were
locked up, and escaped from the work
house Sunday night about eleven
o'clock. Only one Of them, Hender-
son Hill, had been captured this
morning. Four Of them are said to
have gone in the direction of Lewis
burg.
Seventeen negroes were locked up
in the steel cage. The door to It was
held by three locks. The bottom lock
was broken and the door pushed out
at the bottom so that they could
crawl out. Eight of them escpaed
int his way, while the other nine re-
fused to leave with them. The news
of their escape was made known to
Superintendent John T. Akin about
three hours after they had gotten
away by one Of the negroes in the
cage. He at once telephoned to
Sheriff Griffin and his deputies, who
searched Macedonia early this morn
ing for some of the escapes, but
found none. Deputy Sam Hardison
met Henderson Hill this morning as
he was crossing the river coming to
town. Hill was on his way to his for
mer home at Carriers Creek.
After breaking out OF the cage the
negroes went to the tool box, which
they broke open and got chisels and
files with which to saw off the irons
on their legs.
The negroes who escaped are Tight
Eye Love, Russell Walker, Henry Pill
low, Henderson Hill, John Williams,
Robert Carter, Sam Sanders and Tom
Perry. The last two are regarded as
the ring leaders of the crowd. San
ders, especially, is regarded as a bad
negro. He is said to have spent the
greater portion of the past two years
in the workhouse Robert Carter and
Tight Eye Love had recently been
sent to the work house, having been
convicted only at the last term of the
county criminal court. Both were
serving sentences for bootlegging.
Love has been a frequent boarder at
the county work hous. Carter was
found recently in Nashville by Sher-
if Griffin and was brought back to
the city, where he submitted to
charge of bootlegging and took a
term on the road.
Sheriff Griffin and his deputies
have telephoned to the surrounding
counties and officers in them are on
the lookout for the escapes. They
will probably be rounded up before
the latter part of the week
