SUCCESSFUL LAUNCHING
AT MOSS POINT

In the presence of fully three thous-
and spectators. the first big vessel
completed by the Daatzler Shipbuild-
ing & Drydocs Company at their well
lppointed yard on the Pascagoula
river, was successfully launched at
1915 o'clock Thursday afternoon.
The ceremonies opened with introduc-
tory remarks by Hon. c. H. Wood.
leading attorney of Moss Point, who
in his capacity of master of cere-
monies. paid tribute to the enterprise
of the builders and read kilograms of
Fluctuations from Mr.. C. M. Schawb
and Mr. E. M. Hurley the heads of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation, after
which he presented Mr.. Parsons,
prominent lawyer of New Orleans,
who delivered the address of the oc-
casion with feeling of true American
patriotism. The Navalg Training
Station Band of Gulfport rendered ap-
propriate music, interspersed with
song.
Resting on the ship ways, the steam
er Boone presented a thing of majesty
and beauty all decorated with colors
and the flag. donated by the employees,
proudly covered the prov. Posted on
the side of the bow was the inscrip-
tion:
Here's to the steamer Boone
The best new ship afloat
Across the sea she is doomed
To get the Kaisers Goat"
When all was in readiness and at
the signal. Miss Elizabeth Dantzler,
daughter of Mr.. ALI. F. Dantzler, broke
the proverbial battle of champagne
over the bow as the vessel gently
glided into the water at the confluence
of the Pascagoula and Escatawpa
rivers. 1t was a most inspiring sight
to witness the good ship take the
water.
The dimensions of the steamer
boone are: PSI feet over all: As feet
beam; 23a feet depth of hold: 20a feet
draft. $500 tons, dead weight. The
Boone was named by the wife of Presi

FIGHT ALMOST WON.
Need Of Public Cooperation to Erad-
icate the Few Remaining Cattle
Fever Ticks.

(By DIR. j. J. Jones, Federal Inspector)
The purpose Of this article is to i'm
press upon stock owners the fervent
assistance that is necessary to find the
last tick and destroy 1t.
Many owners think now the dipping
of cattle is discontinued that the fever
tick is eradicated from all parts of
the county. The fact of the matter
is that there are a few infected areas
remaining in Jackson county, and such
condition is due to the fact that every
stock owner has not dipped all his
cattle consistently with the dipping
system used during 1918.
The public can assist very ma
terially by inspecting their stock, and
If ticks are visible the fact should be
reported at once to the proper author
tiles, and If the ticks In question are
fever ticks the cattle should be dip
ped at once, and carefully watched
thereafter. Further 1t is the duty of
any person to report ticky cattle II
they see them, in order to protect the
range, or entire county, from becom-
ing re-infested, and to save great
deal of work and expense.
Open Rnase.
1t is no doubt plain TO every person
who permits their stock to run on the
open range, wander from place to
place, mingling with stock that has
been ticky recently, that the cattle
are exposed to infection, and it is to
this owner to whom we look hopefully
forward to report the infection, there.
by prohibiting the development of the
ticks, and saving expense. labor, etc
Expense and Watts.
Jackson county has but four in
spectors to cover the entire county
dip quarantined herds and search fol
infected cattle. This has been done
with view to lessen the expense tc
a minimum.
Vat chemicals are extremely high
and the longer the ticks live the more
expense is piled up. With the public
assistance this matter can be easil!
controlled and the last tick found

the fact that they have been is use fo

AS long as the tick remains tn

fact that it is increasingly NOR
difficult to find the last tick than

public will bear in mind they must az

LEE MAeEE HAS.
 SERVED MANY MASTERS
Blond outfielder Recently Acquired by Reds Has Other Biz Leaguers Tied to Post When it Comes to Shifting Club.

When it comes to changing uniforms Lee Magee has most major league players tied to post.
 No player of prominence in the big show has worn d wider assortment of uniforms than the little blond out fielder who was recently traded to the Cincinnati club by the Browns.
 There are several players who have had versatile experiences, among them being Johnny Evers. but includ- ing his experience in the Federal league, Magee has Johnny faded
 Starting out with the St. Louis Car dinals in 1911. Magee served under Huggins for four years. He then transferred his affections to the Brooklyn Federals and got in on the fat salaries that the Wards handed right and left.
 When the Feds busted up. Magee was put on the market as a bait to the highest bidder, and the Yankees took him in for a sum said to have been $22, 500 In addition they handed him a. fat contract calling for more than $S 00e per season.
 For some. reason Magee failed to make good with New York. Natural ly a speedy and clever all-around ball player, his inability to hit was a mys-

tral City, y,-Ia.. but now his mail is de- livered in San Jose, Cal. Since Ford honored San Jose with his presence trapshooting has become the main sport of that city. Ford is secretary of the gun club that staged the Pacific Coast Handicap last year, and will run off the California State shoot this year He is an enterprising individual Ford learned the tricks of trapshoot- ing from Charley Budd Tom Marshall and Fred Gilbert = and he proved an apt pupil. Though he is beyond the age that Dr. OsIer said men should be chloroforned and put out of their mis- cry. Ford a. only coming into his own. During the past two years he has made so runs of 50 or better, touching the
 .igh- water mark of 230. No other . 3mature shooter has been credited with as many high runs In 1916 Ford won eight amature high average trophies in succession.
 It was in the closing days of the 1917 season, however, that Ford did his best shooting. Tn five consecutive tourna- ments he shot at 1850 targets and broke 1912. In going to these scots Ford travelled more than 2100 miles. He went from San Jose to Los Angeles. shooting there on September 16,17 an6 | IO at ZUU ldfS6LS edCl idy. I1G i-llSso0u four the first day, nine the second and four the third. At San Jose, on Sept ember 23, he missed four in 200 targets. At Vernon, Cal. on September 30, and October 1. Ford shot at 400 targets, missing six Then he rattled to Pay Ariz, and shot at $50 targets in t.ree days, October 8. g and 10, missing but II targets. On October 13, at Phoenix Ariz., he broke every one of 200 targets. l At Ray, Ariz., on October 13, a squad composed of Ford, Lee Mellus Otis Evans, w. A. JosIyn' and Hugh Poston broke 975 out of 1000 targets, a Pacific coast record This is better than 97 per cent. During his career Ford has won more than 1000 pieces oi silverware. He has record of one hundred and eight straight from 21 yards made in Denver, Coi., Sept. g.
 1909, and on June II, 12 and 13, of the same year, in St. Louis. Mo, he had 8 run of 342 and broke 506x510. ....
 Tn 1915 Ford had the highest avera ge of any California shooter, with $50; for 2s3O registered targets. He alse shot 7030 in club competition for 3 9567 average. His 1916 average was 9431 and his average last year was 9546 at 6025 targets.
 Anyway you go into the matter, Orir IN Ford is quite a trapshooter.

Hueains Fifth National League Pi- lot to Chanqe Berth.

Miller Huggins is the fifth National
 league manager to hop to the Ameri- can league since the latter was organ ized and just five managers have gone from the American to the National. Frank Chance failed in his efforts to give the New York Tanks a pennant contender Hugh Duffy managed the Phillies with fair success and then took charge of the White Sox. Patsy
 Donovan managed the Cardinals some | fifteen years agoand then managed Brooklyn with no greater success in either league. He made better show 1 ing when he managed the Red Sox in I the American league. George Stallings
 managed the Phillies in 1S979S and
 when the American league started up
 he managed Detroit and landed in third place. So it is seen that some of the
 managers who have gone from the
 National league to the American have
 done better and some not so well. Ii
 remains to be seen just how the thine
 will work for Huggins.

Wedding in No Mans Land.

A war wedding which actually took place in No Mans Land between ths fronts of the Russian and German armies, is described in the Germag newspapers. It was solemnized in < shell shattered farmhouse standing almost midway between the FrenelF lines. This building has been known as the Cafe International since fra z ternization began between the GerS mans and Russians because it was a place where the soldiers met foE drinking bouts and exchange of goodsS Families which had been separated throughout the war were also pers mitted to hold reunions at this houseS
 The bridegroom of the No Mon'sr Land welding was a Doctor Iluitzs . an Austrian police official. Hiss parents and the bride lived in a small. portion of Austrian territory which. was still occupied by Russian armiess while he lived behind the Austrian | lines. As the Russian. authorities would not permit them to go into ter-s ritory occupied by the Austrians, it. was decided to hold the wedding ons the neutral soil of the ramshackle. farmhouse.
 The whole wedding company made: their way through openings in the. barbed wire, and in the half-roofed: sitting-room af the Cafe Inter national" The yovng pair were mar, ried. Afterwards there was a wedding, feast and dancing.

The baseball season in Norwich opened in an suspicious manner Sun day afternoon at the Falls, when the All Norwich team managed by T. Frank Callahan met the team from the Submarine Base at New London and sent them down the river with the small end of a 10 to 5 score. With one or two exceptions none of the players seemed to have found their batting eyes. The play throughout the game was full of errors partly chargeable to lack of practice and partly to cold wind which chilled both players and spectators.
 The game. however, was much bet ter than the average season opener, and some of the boys showed up in Wich pitcher was a little wild in the opening frames but he steadied down as the game went on and during the course of the nine innings he sent IS sailors away from the plate without a chance at first Welsh. the Base pitcher had a shade on Bush until the seventh inning when he got too gen erous with free passes and then made matters still worse by growing one to Bush. who smashed out double with the bases full. This hit, however, was really the only telling hit Of the game as both pitchers had the Indian sign on the batters as is evidenced by the fact that Bush. was found for four safeties and Welsh for six.
 Morrow, the first man up for the Base walked, and stole. second, said pflferring stunt being nothing to brae about judging by the frequency with which 1t was repeated. Geeseinan was h;+ Inv a y1;fchod han Holder fan ned. Stocks was out, Calkins to w Calkins. Morrow scoring. Mentzer fan ned.

 Johnny Evers might have equalled Magee's record for changing scenery had he jumped to the Feds, for John ny is wearing his fourth big league uniform this year as a member of the Red Sox. Evers has worn the re- salia of the Cubs. Braves and Phil lies, but this is the first year in the American league, while Magee will have seen service with two American, two National and one Federal league club when the 1918 season ends.
 Other players who have shifted about are Hal Chase and Ed Konetchy. Chase has been with the Yankees, White Sox, Buffeds and the Reds. Ko- ney has shifted from the Cards to the Pirates, Pittfeds and Braves. Arman- do Marsans. now with the Yankees, was formerly with the Reds, Cards and Browns.
