In matters of express business, the
word OF the vice president of the
Southern Express Company goes
Thousand times farther than that Of
the secretary of state of Mississippi.
That was demonstrated throughout
Mississippi today, when kilograms
were received by the various agents
of the company from the vice presi-
dent, directing them not to deliver
packages of liquor containing more
than one quart, or packages of beer
having more than 80 bottles, to any
person, under any circumstances.
"The decision of the Supreme
Court" the express head says, "voids
the ruling Of the lower court, but does
not affect the quart-at-a-time law"
Which means that the express com
pany will not deliver packages in vio-
[lation Of the law which is to be voted
upon by the citizens Of Mississippi
next month.

barrels of beer are piiing up in thf

The problem is considered as

Boston and pitched one of the most
remarkable games Of his great career

Brooklyn team down with three measly
hits and none of these counted in the
lone run that Brooklyn made, for this
run was made on base on balls. two
sacrifices and passed ball There
was some hesitation about counting
one of the three hits, as it was rank

Pfeffer, on the other hand, was hit
when hits we're needed. He yielded
only six safeties in the seven innings
he pitched, but these came right when
they were needed and Boston appear
ed to have the game pretty much its
own way before it was half over. Rag
ged fielding on both sides again char
acterized the game. five errors being
chalked up against the two aggrega-
tions. Two Of these were counted
against Olsen in the same play. the
first double error Of the series.
Manager Robinson, of the Brooklyn
ties, picked Pfeffer, who had shown
up well in ending two of the games, to
twirl for the National Leaguers and
make their last attempt to head the
