having a tough time of it, due to the
terrific mental and physical shock of
his experience and complications
which developed later. He is still a
very sick man but the doctors in at.

his troubles but it isn't likely that
he will he fit to do any more diving

Meanwhile the cruiser Maryland,

their minds to be regular HOnOlulans.

as far as 500 yards.

Record Crowd at Hamper Park to See

| Hattiesburg will again meet the VIC
torious Little Rock team of the South
ern League at Hamper Park at 3:45
O'Clock this afternoon, and the Forrest
county baseball players swear by all
that is good and holy that if the Trav-
elers get away with today's game, it
will be in the face of air-tight pitch
| ing, perfect fielding, and good bat
ting on the part of the local boys.
The visitors took advantage of the
stage fright of the City League yes
terday, and walked away with the
game in the very beginning. Later.
however the Hattiesburgians got
their bearings, and managed to hold
their own with the Arkansans.
1t was a record crowd that witnessed
the contest. The game was scheduled
to begin at 3:45 o'clock, but an hour
before, the seats began filling, and
when Umpire Foote came forward to
announce the batteries, the grand
stand was packed, and the bleachers
were filled to the overfowing point.
Today's crowd should be equally as
large. A better brand of baseball than
that played on yesterday, is promised.
Holmes will pitch for the Hattiesburg
boys, while Fincher is scheduled to
appear for the visitors.
The Little Rock team leaves ON No.

er for South Mississippi This Week.

The cold weather of the last forty
eight hours, which has sent the mer-
curry tumbling in the thermometers
from Maine to Washington and from
the Canadian line to the Gulf of Mex
leo, and which last night AMI today
sent Hattiesburg's Palm Beach clad
population around in last winters
overcoats, will be of but short dura-
ton, according to advices from the
United States Weather Bureau in
Washington. A rise in temperature
will occur soon. But the shivering
spell is just a foferunner of what is
to come, the bureau explains, and
marks the appearance of the first bit
of cold weather which precedes the
fall and wintermonths.
1t was the first real cool weather
since Spring, and it was well up in
the day today before Forrest county's
population removed its hands from it's
pockets and quit its shivering. For
hours this morning, the feminine por-
tion of the population stayed within
doors, or on sunny galleries to catch
bit of the warmth.
Cause of The Drop.
The present cool weather is caused
by an area of high pressure everything
the West Plain States. While the
temperature dropped to a considerable
extent two or three days ago, it went
down from to 10 degrees last night,
Blankets which had been locked away
with the companionship of mothballs
in cedar chests months ago, were
brought from their hiding last night,
and they certainly did feel good.
The cool wave which struck this

eral. Oklahoma, the Texas Panhandle,

STORE IS ROBBED;
POLICE DOGS CALLED
BURGLARS MAKE DARING RAID
ON PRICE g couRsEYs
ESTABLISHMENT.

| Bloodhounds are being rushed from
Crystal Springs this afternoon to run
down the robbers who last night burg
larized the store of Price & Coursey
at the Mississippi Central Crossing
on Main street, and who made away
with quantity of goods, the amount
Of which has not yet been definitely
established by the proprietors.
The tracks leading to and from the
rear part Of the store, made by the
robbers, are being guarded, and they
will be practically fresh when the po-
lice dogs arrive. They are the only
clue which the police have to the in
truders.
The burglary was particularly dar-
ing one. Entrance was gained to the
store in an unusual manner. The
burglare crawled under the rear part
of the building, and with brace and
bit, bored series of holes through
the floor They then knocked the in
tervening pieces of flooring aloose,
crawling upwards through the open
ing.
Exactly what they obtained, is not
known. Mr.. Coursey said this after
noon that a quantity of flour, meat,
hams and bacon, and shoes are mis-
sing. One pair of No. Z shoes is gone.
One shoe of pair of No. 6, and the
other of No. s, also are missing, the
burglars having gotten the footwear
mixed. Shirt boxes were opened but
whether any were taken is not known.
There was no money in the cash
drawer, but apparently this was not
molested. Neither was the safe.
The stolen goods were carried away,
it is believed, and not hauled, as has
been the custom OF burglars during
recent days.
The bloodhounds should reach the
city before the end of the afternoon.
They are being brought through the
country in an automobile.
