penses, a new hotel of needed size
would bring to this city more than
$1O,000.00 a year. But who has
time to put it across?
More than a million and a quar-

places the labor wages at $600,000..
most of which Starkville can get if
we go after it. But who has time
to do it-and to push the home

'PARSON" DAVIES, FAMOUS SPORTSMAN.
 DIES AT BEDFORD

Chicago. Ill, June 2s.-Word was re- ceived here today of the death of Charles Edward ('Parson') Davies. we'll known in the sporting world at Bedford, Va, yesterday. The body will be brought here for burial
 Davies came into prominence in the early sos as manager of Dan O'Leary,
 the champion walker. He afterwards took over the management of Peter Jack son. negro heavyweight, and under Davies direction Jackson fought draw with James Corbett. lasting sixty rounds Davies put Jackson in the title role of An Uncle Toms Cabin company with Joe Choyenski as his sparring partner in exhibitions that were a part of the play Later he organized another theatrical company with John l.. Sullivan and Paddy Ryan, playing the feature roles. It is said Cornelius Vanderbilt was re- sponsible for his nickname of "Parson." WSen O'Leary was giving an exhibition walking match at Madison Square Gar den, Vanderbilt is said to have inquired
 who 'the clerical looking gentleman" was. Upon being told, he is said to have remarked that Davies looked more like parson than sporting manager.
 Davies was born in County Antrim. Ireland. July [, 1851.

, ward, but the chances are they never will get the fly. That's because they never trained running backward, don't know how to judge where a ball will light
 and keep looking back all the time. And only about one in ten. even if he has judged the flight correctly, can get the ball coming over one shoulder.
 My advice to youngsters who want to be outfielders is to play in close aii the time. That forces them to run back for every long drive. But by so doing they get lot of practice in judging the
 direction of balls flight by the crack
 of the bat. They learn. too, how to catch the ball over the shoulder. And event. ually, when their chance comes to make the big league they are ready. AeI "Of course the trick can't be learnea in a week nor season. 1t requires iots of practice to make perfect at anything even outfielding. But if youngster al ound I5 or 16 starts outfieiding in the right way he will be well sehooed when he's 10 or 20 Then, if the chance comes t, get a big league job he is sure of one thing And that is that he won't be turned back because he doesn't know
 how to kill Texas leaguers or grab q long l. fly while travelling backward"

 "The trouble with most young out fielders is that they play out too far and so never learn how to take a ball over their shoulders Iris Speaker once remarked And no man, in this era or any other in the annals of baseball, is better qualified to utter outfielding ad- vice than the Indian leader.
 Speaker practically revolutlonized out field play. Before his time all gardeners played deep-or at least fairly so. But when Speaker broke into the big show he fairly startled the populace by laying only hop, skip and a jump back of second.
 Hey, get back" was the managerial order to Speaker. They'll make home runs on easy putouts if you play there. 70 Just let me play where I am for two weeks" pleaded Iris, and I'll promise you two things. They won't hit safely back of me and I'll kill off lot Of those filters that would go for Texas leaguers if was back much rarulcr.
 TRIS HAD HIS WAY
 Speaker had his way. And ever since then the whole world acclaims his great ness. He is the outfielding standard by which all others are judged. Managers, who make efforts to teach youngsters how to partol the garden, say;
 Watch Speaker"
  stinct and marvellous eye are the things that have helped to make him mighty, Texas leaguers are an almost unknown accomplishment by teams that play against Speakers. For he is always tn close enough--and he pulls his outfield- ing mates in close enough, too-to grab any puny fly which is beyond the in- f.elders' reach.
 Hitting ball beyond Speaker is a wizards feat Often times men have smashed the horsehide with extreme vc- iousness, seemingly far over Speaker g head But with the crack of bat against ball, he is on his way. He never seems to look where the ball is headed-he seemed, by instinct, to know. And when the ball lands it's in Speaker's hands.
 "The kids, fearing the consequences of ball hit back of them. usually play for back" declares Speaker. AS a re- suit they miss the Texas leaguers aitho- gether When they get into the big leagues they are told to play in much closer. Eventually. balls are hit to q spot far back of them. They start back

 In Little Rock the team was de. feated three straight times by the Travellers. In Memphis the Barons beat the Chicks three straights. In Chattanooga Moleys men broke even, losing one and winning one.
 No complaint can be made of the showing of the Barons. however. They have been playing consistent ball for over a month now. which fact has en- abled them to hover around the top of the league since about the middle of May. The past two weeks the Barons have been leading the league.
 The series which opens tOmOr-
 row is a crucial one. Little Rock is trOdding on the heels of the
 BarOns, only 0ne-haf game away.
 The Pels are virtually tied with
 the Travellers. also One-haif game
 behind the BarOns.
 If either or both of these two rivals of the Barons win today a virtual triple tie will result for first place Then it will be up to the Barons to win all three games from the Vols to retain their place at the head sof the league.

 This here nose and nose racing Is getting to be nerve racking. We've heard several fans sigh and remark that 1t was hardly worth while when they were talking over the race. If it's hard on the fans. it certainly must keep the players on needles and pins. You've got to admit it's the best race the Southern has produced in several seasons.
 Another former Baron returns to tho fold Pitcher Meeker. The youngster should do well with the Barons should he be given another opportunity to make the staff. He has lots of stuff on the ball. All he lacked when he left

A FREAK TRIPLE PLAY

Triple plays are hard to make in baseball games. and they are of rare occurrance in a playing season, but one was pulled off in a game between St. Mary's College. at St. Mary's, Kan, and the Chilocco Indians that will go down in the annals of the national pas time as one of the most peculiar plays ever staged on a ball field. The team In the field did not touch the ball after it left the pitchers hands. A St. Mary's batter hit the ball into the air toward short, with the pillows loaded, and he was called out as it was an infieId fly. The wind carried the ball toward sec ond. and as it descended it hit the runner there. who was declared out for being hit by a batted ball. The leather then rolled toward first and the runner there. disgusted at the luck or his teammates. picked up the sphere and hurled it from the park He was promptly called out by the umpire.- Cincinnati Enquirer.

MILLER IS MYSTERY

"R. Miller" who has played so well at third for the Phils. is the mystery of 1920-is still mystery, this late in the season. He didn't play in any minor league last year. and the critics have taken it for granted that he must have come from a shipyard or semi pro club Manager Cravath says no. T don't know who he is. or whence he came" says Cravath He simply walked into our southern training camp, said he was an infielder and that he'd live to prove it. Next day he showed what he could do. and took the third base job away from all comers."
 Miller is pleasant young fellow and extremely reticent. There have been few cases in all big league history to compare with his advent and success. -Pittsburg Leader,
