Memphis. -- With a bullet hole
through head and the front part of
his brain, according to his physician,
Oswell Ward of Boyle, Miss, has now
regained consciousness and may re-
rover. Ward shot himself between the
right temple and the ear, about half
an inch from the ear. The bullet came
out on the opposite side in a cores
ponding place. Dependency over a
mental trouble, which he thought
would bring on insanity, was respon-
sible for his act. He was a merchant
in Boyle until a few weeks ago, when
he sold out on account OF his failing
health.

ALEX TO FACE
JOHNSON TODAY
in WASHINGTON
Preparations for Phillies'
Opening With Giants at
Home Are Made
PLAYERS TO GET GIFTS

WASHINGTON April 1O.--Alexander
the Great VS.. Johnson the Marvel was the
announcement made here this morning for
the Philles' final spring training game in
preparation for the 1916 season, which
starts Wednesday. Because of Grover
C.'s defeat at Richmond last week local
fans are making Washington the favorite
for this afternoons contest. The Phillies
will reach home tonight, as they will leave
for Philadelphia shortly after the game
today.
The management of the Phillies is maxi
ing special arrangements for the opening
of the National League championship in
Philadelphia on Wednesday, when Pat
Moran's champions of 1915 will meet the
New York Giants in the initial game of
the pennant race at Broad and Hunting.
don The most interesting feature Of the
opening days ceremonies, in addition to
the fact that 1t will be the first chance
the fans will have to welcome the Philles
since the closing game of the worlds
series last fall, will be the presentation
of handsome gift to every member of
the team who participated in the worlds
series with the Boston Red SoN.
At the banquet given in honor of the
Phillies victory in the National League
race last year a movement was started
toward rewarding the players OF Pat Mo
rams team for giving Philadelphia it's
first championship in the history Of the
National League. Il. r. Stotesbury, the
Philadelphia banker; Senator James p.
McNichol and Fred 4. Chandler, vice
president of the club, were appointed
committee to select suitable gift to be
presented to the players on the opening
day of the season i'm Philadelphia this
year.
Just what the prize is will not be known
until the opening day, as it has been ar
ranged to make the gift pleasant sur
prise to the men who won glory for the
city, the club and themselves.
The usual ceremonies connected with
the opening OF a championship season
will be in order on Wednesday. Mayor
Thomas b. Smith and the members of
his cabinet and their families will be the
guests of the club management, occupy
ing section of the boxes facing the
Phillies bench. Mayor Smith will throw
out the first ball. There will be musi-
cal program and fiag-raising. as in former
years, the raising of the National League
pennant being reserved for q later date.
II has not been settled which of the
National League clubs will have the honor
OF meeting the Phillies on "Pennant Day"
The band concert will start at l o'clock
on opening day and the preliminary cere-
monies at o'clock. Play will begin at 3.
