Mr.. Brookshire Withdraws.

To the Voters of Irou County.-Dur-
ling my entire term of the superin-
tendency OF the Ironton public school,
my fixed intention was to remove
from Ironton, as soon as school closed,
and practice law in a more thickly
populated industrial community,
when school closed. l made investiga-
tions, but failed to find any desirable
location. My friends then urged me
to make the campaign for Prosecut-
ing Attorney for Iron County on the
Democratic ticket. After careful in
vestigation which revealed the very
favorable possibilities for success in
the primary, I announced and filed
for the office. After my announce.
ment l was offered attractive connec-
tions with a good law firm in st.
Louis. My friends advised both for
and against such a procedure on my
part. l fully considered the matter.
l have always been convinced that
greater possibilities of success present
themselves to a city lawyer than to a
lawyerin a rural community. Despite
the fact that my nomination was
virtually assured, Twas forced by my
better Judgment to withdraw my
candidacy for prosecuting attorney
and come to st. Louis to engage in
private practice.
lam, therefore, taking the oppor-
tunity to thank each>and every voter,
thru the columns of the best edited
country ne wspaper / ha We ever known.
The IRON COUNTY REGISTER, for the
courtesy extended me and for the
support given in my initial campaign
1t gives me genuine pleasure to know
that the great majority of the best
citizens of Iron County had declared
in my favor. | am assured this sup
port was rendered me because of my
views and position relative to funda'
mental democracy. I shall ever KEEP
in mind the interests of Iron County
and if the opportunity should eve
come to me, I shall serve the County
with the full strength of my ability t
serve.
Sincerely Yours,
w. A. BRooKsHIRE.

 File Proceedings
 Against Jackson

New Orleans, June 26.-(Special)- Whether contract in the Southern League is valid or not will be decided probably in the suit that the New Or leans Club will file against Jackson, Miss, of the Delta League. to enJoln them from playing Tim Murchson, the left-handed pitcher who jumped New Orleans for bigger salary in the smaller league.
 And Charley Frank, who stood off Alien and the Travellers in their fight to play Smith and Seaton, may be the savior of the Southern League contract. for it was Frank who, at the Southern League, adopted contract which would be good for three years when signed with any player.
 This form of contract has been up- held by the United States circuit court oe appeals in the case of organized baseball and the Federal League, and it is believed that it will stand the test in this Southern League vs. Delta League suit, and that in it A. J. Heine- mann and the New Orleans team will have an ace in the hole.
 Papers asking for the federal in- junction will be filed in Jackson Mon day by w. w. Young of this city. and it is expected that it will be heard Tuesday or Wednesday. Fred Sullens of the Jackson team, has announced he will attack the validity of the southern League player contract

REVIEW OF WEEKS
 PLAY IN SOUTHERN

New Orleans June 26.-Nashville, with six games won and none lost. completed the week m the Southern Association. with a perfect record, but did not improve her place in the As- sociation standing.
 Birmingham. the association leader, was able to retain the lead. but only won two out of five games played. New Orleans. after a successful stay at home. hit the toboggan on the road and, by losing five out of seven games, lost second place to Little Rock. The Travellers opened at home and by win- ming five of eight games played went into second place. Memphis won four out of seven. while Mobile lost five and won two Chattanooga. the tail- ender. split even on the week, winning four and losing four. AtIanra ended the week by winning two and losing five, the final game being a fifteen inning tie with Little Rock.
 The feature of the week in Southern Association circles was the jumping of Tim Murcnison and Ray Neusel of the New Orleans club to the Jackson and Greenville clubs of tne Delta League
 Officials of the New Orleans club are preparing to ask iniunctions in the federal courts to restrain these play CTS rom playlnS with tnelr new clups. holding that they are under contrac. and that the contracts are binding. The Jackson club owners are prepared to fight the move for an injunction.
 With the season nearly half gone anyone of seven clubs can by a win ming spurt. take the lead and the race for the pennant is the tightest that has been seen in years. Nashville seems to have been strengthened and l.- r,.x .-~l.t VII A 1,.aks come within hailing distance of th- laadnrS

NEW MENACE HAS
 ARISEN IN SOUTHERN


 Another menace has arisen to threaten the success of the 1920 season in the Southern League, persistent practice of contract jumping by regular players of the Dixie circuit.
 off and on throughout the part of the season already played re- ports of contract jumpers have been struggling in, but the latest. and far more sensational, comes hurting through from New Or leans. Ray NeuseI and Tim Murchi- son skip the PelicaDs, presumably to play in the Delta State League. At least reports, and pretty re- liable at that, have it that these two New Orleans players and other ex-SOuthern Leaguers have been signed tip in the Delta State. The Vols have suffered more from contract jumping than any other team in the league Kaufman, Farmer and one or two others left the Nashville skipper Roy Ellam, without any no tice, Kaufman has been reinstated ir this league, but the others are Tong gone" in industrial and semi-profes- sional baseball circles.
 A. J. Heineman president of the New Orleans club, sent a message to Fred ericll Sullens of the Jackson Baseball Association, stating that he would re- sort to legal proceedings if Murchisor or Neusel were played in the Delta State League. Reports have it that these two players are to be signed by Jackson.
 In his reply to Heinemann, Sullens i' defiant, to say the least. He states that he is under no obligations to the South ern League, as the Delta State is not

ResoLute Chosen
 for Cups Defense Against Shamrock

Newport, R. L, June 26-The sloop Eesolute was selected by the committee on cups defense of the New York Yacht Club to defend the Americas Cup against the Shamrock ". The first race will be sailed off Sandy Hook on July ,.
 The decision was reached after the committee had witnessed the last trial race between Resolute and Vanitle m their elimination series here today, which was called off about twenty mln- utes after the yachts had passed the outer mark with Vanitie a half mile in tie lead. Todays race was in very light breeze. The two sloops sailed a number of races, nearly all of which were won by Resolute. In the two years Resolute had twenty five vic- tories to her credit, against four for the Vanitie.
 The cost of the trial races thls year reached about $125,0O0, financed by new syndicate which was formed to race the two yachts, MT. Cochrane ana the old Resolute syndicate turning the boats over to them. The expenditures fer the first month were $So,0O0, and tue second almost double.
 Not including the race sailed today which was stopped after the sloops nad covered ten miles, the yachts sailed eleven races off this port, seven result ing in victory for the Resolute and four for the Vanitje.

Tilden Beats
 Kingscote in
 British Meet

Wimbledon, June 26.-william T. Til- Sen of Philadelphia, in thrilling match in the British lawn tennis singles tour nament today defeated A. R. r. King scote, the captain of the British 1919 Davis cup team, after five strenuous sets The score was 6-3, 5-7, 6-4, 5-7, S-S.
 The battle was declared by veteran observers to be the finest singles ever witnessed on this side of the Atlantic. Nobody dreamed that Kingscote was capable of such tennis and the oldest veterans declared at the conclusion of play that they had never seen anyone stand up so finely to such service as he was compelled to meet, and catch at the net so many hurricane drives. He came right in to the net, whereas Tfl- den rarely got past the service line. consequently, the American frequently was seen to be making tentative half volleys, on which Kongscote scored by fine drives to the side lines.
 English experts declare such fierce singles have never been seen at Vim bledon. The pace throughout was most spectacular
 It is considered remarkable that Til den dropped seven service games throughout the match and it is the more surprising because, against his other opponents in the present tournament, he has almost never conceded service game.
 By todays victory Tilden places him. self in the play among the last eight for the championship. He next will meet the Australian player, Randolph Lycett. R. Norris Williams of Boston, in his next match, will play against T. M. Mavrogordato of the British Davis cup 1oam.
