 ed in the Deal.

New York, Dec. 1.-The biggest baseball deal in some seasons was completed here today when the Phil adelphia National League club sold Pitcher Grover Alexander and Catch CT William KiNifer to the Chicago Nationals for cash consideration and a Cub battery. The money involved is said to be considerably in excess of s50,000 and the two Chicago players who will. wear Philadelphia uniforms next season are Pitcher .Prendergast and Catcher Dilhoefer.
 There is a, war time cfause to the deal which prevents a remote possi- bility that the contract might fall through, as- the agreement contains a rider to tho effect that in case either Alexander CT Killifer is drafted any time previous to thirty days before the opening of the 1918 National League season, the deal shall be automatical- 1y cancelled.
 Neither of the club presidents would state the amount of money involved in the transaction, but Weeghman, of

GoULLET AND MAGIN
 WERE GREAT PAIR.
GouiIet Shows Good Judgment in Picking Masin in Place of Kramer.

Alfred Goullet and Jake Magin, the two riders who won the six day race in New York, with a score of 1,105 points. undoubtedly rank with the greatest riders in the history of the race. Although both worked harder than any of those that finished neither showed any signs of exhaustion when the long ordeal was over. At no time during the race did either weaken for a moment and they outclassed their rivals at all points,
 Goullet, the star of the team. earned this displeasure of the gallery because it was reported that he had refused to team up with Frank Kramer on the ground that the veteran was too old: That Goullet showed excellent judg- ment was proved when Kramer was forced out before the week was half over, while Magin rode a race that was far above what was expected of him.
 In fact, Magin's great showing was the surprise of the race. He had com peted in five other six day events but had not shown anything startling He halls from Philadelphia. where he rode well as an amateur He turned pro- fessiona1 in 1910, but never was re- garded very highly.

at O'Clock Wednesday evening, for
American Lake, Washington, where

was named captain of the Ada coun-
ty contingent, and Walter A Palmer
was named lieutenant, and they will
see that the boys all land safely at
the training camp.
So many from Meridian, makes the
departure of these boys especially
interesting to us. One person re
marked that Meridian was certainly
doing her share. and little more.

SEMI-ANNUAL MEETING
AT LOUISVILLE

The Grenada Bank had its semi.
annual directors meeting this year
with M of its branch banks, the
Louisville Bank. The meeting was
had Monday. Besides the business
feature of the meet, there had been
entertainment provided for others,
and Louisville, it seems, exercised
herself to the utmost to make the
meeting a success in every detail.
Quite a large number from Grenada
were invited by President Thomas
to attend the meet and transportation
offered, but only about twenty found
it convenient to go. Those who went
have the most fattering things to say
about the provision the Bank had
made for their care and entertain
ment as well as the generous hospi-
tally of the good people of Louis
vile.
