CREEKS HELD IN
NEGRo'S DEATH

Peter Ganakis and Spiro Ganakis
two Greegs were arranged before
Judge Chidsey Monday, charged witt,
the murder of Junius johnson. The
evidence in the case was conflicting
but in substance it was that Johnson
went into the place of business of the
two defendants and asked for some
small article, bottle of pop or a sand
wich. On receiving his purchase he
put down what one witness testified
was $40 bill, received in change only
$4.S5 and, on demanding the right
change and not receiving it, took pos
session of the defendants money box,
helped himself and then walked out.
The defendants followed him some
distance and overlook him and, on
one of them approaching and attack
ing him he knocked one down with a
brick and the other then came up and
shot Johnson who went about one
hundred yards when he fell and was
taken to Mobile where he died.
Some of the witness testified that
one of the defendants had followed the
negro for sometime swapping at him
with pistol which would not go off,
and prior to this several shots had
beeen fred by whom he did not know.
The court decided as the evidence was
conflicting the defendants were en-
titled to bail and fixed it at $4,000
each.

diseases, 3 cases bacillary dysentery
cases pneumonia, 3S cases malaria
and Is cases typhoid. The last case
of typhoid was reported Aug 10.
Work on sanitary privies will be
pushed to the utmost. The delay in
constructing those for which payment
has already been made is due to in
ability to get bids on same, but this
has now been overcome.

groceries, meat markets, bakeries,
restaurants, ETC., will be reinspected.
Legal means will be invoked to force
compliance with the sanitary regula-
tions on the part of those who have
not already done so.

city daily and the residence sections
weekly as soon as the necessary wag-
ons and teams have been obtained.

keep their own premises and side

ordinance published elsewhere in the
Chronicle. The public is warned that
the provisions of this ordinance will
be rigidly enforced.

YOUNG MAN KILLED AT GAUTiER

Harry Fitzpatrick, of Mobile, age
about 22 years, brakeman on the
l.. & N. railroad. met with a terrible
and instantaneous death last Sunday
morning at West Pascagoula, when
he was run over and his body cut in
two by the engine of the train on
which he was working. The body
was taken to Mobile and later con-
veyed to Bayou la Batre where the
dead mans father resides. The funeral
was held at that place Monday.
According to information from AS
sistant Superintendent w. M. Boykin
Mr. Fitzpatrick was trying to get
around one side of the front of the
engine. He left the cab and went for
ward to the pilot and in trying to cross
this evidently lost his balance and
seeing he was about to fall jumped
from the pilot to the middle of the
track. He was caught by the engine.

When weeghman took the Cubs
he had to assume all the contracts
with the players. Many called for
bulky salaries. In addition. Weegh-
man was contract-bound to pay
nearly a score of men who had made
up his 1915 Chifeds. And all con-
tracts called for nice, husky, war
time wages.
1t is estimated that Weeghman
had to pay out close to s175,000
in salaries to his big squad of noble
athletes in 1916.
The Cubs didn't do very well in
1916 and the season proved to be a
big financial loss. 1t was the same
story in 1917.
by ginger" exclaimed Cholly as
the bell was ready to sound for the
1918 campaign. "I'll make a pennant
winner of those Cubs, cost what 1t
may"
So CholIy bought all the ball play
ers that were on the market. He
spent nearly 10000 in the acquisi-
, tion of new talent. And as the April
starting line was reached, he ven-.
tured:
I've got what looks like a sure
pennant winner"
And when most Of the exporting
persons agreed with him, Cholly be-
gan to dream dreams of a prosper
Gus regular season and a big split Of
the worlds series spoils to recon-
pense him at least in part for his
earlier losses.
But alas! alasl-oh, lots of 'em.
Blow No. l came when Grover AL
exander was drafted-the same Gro
yer who had cost Cholly about $50,
900 in cash. From slime to time
through the season Cholly lost other
diamond warriors who had cost him
large gobs of dough. Each depart
ure added burrows to the brow OF
the "Beanery King" Then came the
crushing wallop dealt to him by the
government, which ruled that base
ballers must work or fight after
September /. That meant about five
weeks cut of the regular season
five weeks of fat gate receipts, for
the Cubs had at last gone to the
front and were drawing well, war or
no war.
And so II came up to the Worlds
Series and Weeghman luck contin-
ued. His club had won a pennant,
but did it prosper? 1t did not
The National Commission cut the
admission prices. the weather and
the war cut the crowds. the players
first held up the magnates for extra
salary and then for a deeper cut in
what there was OF Worlds Series
receipts-and the Cubs lost the se-
riee also.
One story from Chicago has It
that the Chicago National League
Clubs net" out of the Worlds Sc
ries didn't amount to much over
SIC. 900. or $4,000 less than the sea-
sons losses. And here's about what
it cost Charley Weeghman and his
friends for four years of endeavor
to get in said series:
Federal League venture. $500, 900
Paid for Cub franchise. .. $4,000
Lost on 1915 season......... $4,000

THREE INGRAMS.
ACHIEVE FAME.
Three Brothers Have Fig
ured Prominently in All
Naval Academy Sports.

Annapolis. Md, Oct. 5.-The death
of Lieut.. Homer L. Ingram. L. S. N,
at the Naval Hospital, Washington,
on September q. calls to mind the
three Ingram brothers, who made
up the most notable athletic family
in the history of the Academy.
Conditions ut the Naval Academy do
not, of course, tend to bring a large
number of the members of one family
into the institution, as it is not a
matter Of deciding collegiate prefer
ences, but of securing the official ap-
pointment. There have been a few
cases where a family furnished two
good athletes, but none outside Of the
Ingram family where there were
three.
Indiana is the home of the Ingrams,
and they all attended Culver Military
Institute before entering the Naval
Academy. Jonas II. Ingram, now
ranking as commander and aide to
Admiral Rodman, commanding the
Atlantic Fleet, was the first to come to
Annapolis. He entered in 1903, and
was graduated four years later.
He is considered the best stroke
the crew ever had, and he pulled in
that position in the spring of 1907.
when the Academy had an entry for
the only time in the Poughkeepsie
Regatta. The Navy was barely de-
feated by Cornell. Jonas Ingram
also scored a touchdown against
West Point in 1906, the first the
Navy had scored against the Army
for years.
Lieut.. Homer L. Ingram. who has
just died. entered the Academy in
1910, graduating in 1914. He fol-
lowed in his elder brothers foot
steps, rowing on the crew and play
ing football, his positions being at
end and in the backfeld. He was
a good man on the water and the
gridiron. When Jonas Ingram was
head coach of the Academy foot
ball team during the season of 1916
and 1917, Homer Ingram was one of
his assistants.
The youngest Ingram, william A.,
is now captain of the football team,
an honor neither of his brothers had,
and stroked the crew last season. He
is admittedly the best athlete of the
three. He has made a great half
back during his two years at the
Academy. and the experts agree that
he is among the very best in the
country this year. 1t may be men,
toned that he holds the highest
