NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-In view of the keen intersectional interest which will surround the coming world series between the New York Nationals and the Chicago Americans the records of the inter-league contests of the past assume unusual prominence AL though so-called world series were played as far back as 1884, it was not until 1905 that the national commits sion took charge of and promulgated rules for the annual autumn climax of the baseball season.
 Since that year the winning clubs in the American and National leagues have met each October to decide, in a series of the best four games out of seven, which team should be entitled to the championship honors of the pro- fessional baseball world for the ensu- ing twelve months. Of the past twelve series which are now part of diamond history, the American league standard bearing clubs have won seven and their National league rivals five.
 During these series sixty-s six games have been played giving an average of five and a half games per series in cluding tie contests of which there have been two. In games won the American league leads with thirty three to the Nationals thirty one while of the 445 runs scored the National league clubs have accounted for 223

SOLDIERS GET FIRST
PAY AT CAMP CLARK
Payroll for Missouri Regiment
is $3.50, 600 Capt. Bridges
Acts As Psymaster.

Nevada, No., Sept. 11.-Today was
pay day in Camp Clark, the State
training camp, the members OF the
First, Second, Fifth and Sixth regi-
ments receiving their first pay since
in the service of the Government. The
money was paid out by Capt. H. ".
Bridges of Cape Girardeau, who has
been placed in charge of the Quarter
masters Corps of the entire National
Guard Of Missouri. The total amount
paid out was s29O,0O0.
Several days ago Captain Bridges
received an order from the War De-
partment to make out the payroll and
forward the amount of the pay due the
men of the four regiments now en-
camped here. After much figuring the
quartermaster found that the amount
would be s290,OOO.
Several officers of the various regi-
ments of Missouri have already de-
parted for Fort Sill, Okla, where they
are making arrangements for the re-
ception of his regiment. 1t is believed
that the Sixth Missouri will be ordered
to the Oklahoma fort in few days.
Although no order has been received
from the War Department, it is the
general belief here that the regiment
will be moved to Fort Sill in a few
days.
Supplies and equipment Of all kinds
have been sent to Fort Sill, the officers
here have been informed, and this is
taken as evidence of the fact that the
call will be issued soon to have the
regiment transferred to the new camp.
The Missouri Pacific Railway tomor
row afternoon will begin shuttle
train service for the convenience OF
the men at Camp Clark between camp
and town. The train will leave Nevada
at $3.50 p. m each afternoon and will
continue to make trips each half hour
until 1890 p. m.
BY order OF Brigadier General Clark,
retreat-the cessation of the days
work in camp-has been advanced
from Z p. m. to 6:15 p. m. to allow the
men to catch the 6:2O p. m. shuttle
train for town. The only eonmunica-
Itidh between camp and town up to the
Ipresent time was by "jitney."

COUNTY DENIED
APPEAL BY u. S.
SUPREME COURT
Caruthers is Told Drainage
Case Can't be APP
pealed.
| COUNTY LOSES SUIT
IN HIGHEST TRIBUNAL
Solution of Cha nneIBridge Cues
ton is Now Up to County
! Court.

The Injunction case against the Lit
tie River Drainage District has been
definitely lost by the county author
tiles, according to the information
brought back from Washington, D. c.,
by Prosecuting Attorney j. Henry
Caruthers, who called on Justice Reg
nolds to determine whether the coun-
ty authorities could appeal to the
United States Supreme Court from the
decision of the State Supreme Court
which upheld the ruling of the Judges
Of the lower courts in favor of The
Little River Drainage District.
Prosecuting Attorney Caruthers told
The Tribune last night he had explain
ed the status Of the case to Justice
REYNOLDS. who informed him that the
county would have no grounds on
which the case could be appealed to
the United States Supreme Court for
a final decision.
The grounds on which the county
authorities expected to appeal from
the decision of the State court was
that the State law under which the
case was decided was in conflict with
the Constitution Of the United States,
alleging that the State law did not
provide for an equal right of both par
ties involved in the litigation.
The United States Supreme Court
, at present is in vacation and only two
(, Judges were in the national capital,
namely, Justice Reynolds and Bran
deis. Prosecuting Attorney Caruthcrs
submitted his writ for an appeal to
the former, and after familiariZine
himself with the facts of the case,
; Justice Reynolds informed Mr.. Caru-
theirs he had no grounds on which he
could bring the matter before the
highest court for decision.
When asked whether this ended the
litigation between the county and the
Little River Drainage District, Prose
cutting Attorney Caruthers replied he
did not know. He said it would as far
as the Injunction suit brought against
the company by the county was con-
cerned, leaving, however, the infer
ence that the County Court might file
another petition against the Little
River Drainage District on entirely
different grounds from those on which
the Injunction suit was based.
"Of course, that rests entirely witt
the County Court whether any further
steps will be taken in the litigation
against the drainage company" sale

bridges leading across the dralnag
channels of the Little River Drainag'
District at the intersection of severa

that this expenditure will be aroun'

liar booths would also be prohibited to
operate, if any complaint were male
against the owners.
Miller told Mr.. Num- he had played

who played and won, evidently per-
mitted to win by the owner. He be-

began to play again and lost heavily.
Upon orders Of Mr.. Num- the owner
of the gambling booth was compelled
to return the money which Miller had
lost and ordered that the booth DC

others from the fangs of these money,
