CATCH MUCH SHRIMP.

Biloxi, Miss, Sept. 3.-Despite the
reports that several schooners would
go, after shrimp today, so far as
known only the Ursula c., U. Des-
ports boat, was the only one to make
trip. The vessel had previously
taken on a ton OF ice and started for
Point Auxchene, where good catches
have been reported.
1t is known that quite number of
union men have been considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of going after shrimp in
dependently. Steps to ice and pro-
vision schooners for trips of this kind
are being considered. Some of the
schooners likely to go before many
days are owned by packers, while in
dependent owners may also send out.
A schooner from the Foster-Foun-
tain plant made trip to Point Aux
chene, returning last night with sixty
barrels. The catch, nearly the equal
of the schooners Elroy and Clara
Fountain in the Louisiana marshes
when seventy-four barrels were
caught, has created considerable ex.
citement among the shrimp fishermen
who are longing to again get try at
the shrimp.

GULFPORT SURE TO
HAVE LEAGUE TEAM
IF DETROIT TIGERS DON'T TRAIN
THERE NEXT YEAR, WHITE
sox OR BROWNS WILL.

Gulfport, Miss, Sept. 3.--From pres.
ent appearance it may be forecasted
that Gulfport will not be without a
major league team next spring as
Manager Lynch is now in conference
with the White Sox at Chicago and
the st. Louis Americans. to say moth
ing of the Detroit bunch, which really
wants to come back but is holding
out for whatever might be in the hold
out, to-wit: a bonus.
Phil Caldwell, the affable acting
Manager of the Great Southern, re.
ceived telegram last night from
Manager James Lynch, who is now in
Chicago, stating the White Sox were
willing to come to Gulfport as condi-
lions were favorable. This telegram
was the result of a conference which
Mr.. Lynch held yesterday with Man.
ager Comiskey of the White Sox.
And besides the White Sox. Mr..
Lynch is in touch with the st. Louis
Americans with the result that that
bunch of ball tossers are casting a
longing eye in this direction. AS
there has been no official confirmation
OF the announcement made by Mique
Finn in Texas it is not believed that
the Tigers have abandoned the idea
OF coming to Gulfport. Manager Jen.
nings and President Navin seemed
mighty well pleased with this burg as
training ground, and there are those
who believe that acting on the prin-
cipal that it is always best to let
well enough alone the Tigers will
again select Gulfport when it comes to
a show down.
Perhaps the local fans would like
to see this happen as they have grown
accustomed to looking at the Tigers
with proprietary interest. Indeed, the
Tigers progress in the pennant race
Is watched almost as closely as was
that of the Gulfport team when this
city was a member of the Cotton
States organization.
But of course if the Tigers would
rather go somewhere else, Gulfport is
is ready to extend its hospitality to
any major league that wants to come
along.

Mr.. Caldwell thinks the suggestion
is one well worth looking in.
