lowed the lady to see the finish of

was suspicious OF the girl" and asked
one of the officers about renting ''her'

Officer Chestnut, to whom the ques-
ton was addressed, advised the land
lady to investigate her guest and when

SHIPPERS LOSE
TO PENSACOLA
Locals Take Easy Victory from Mo-
bile in Spite Of Heavy Ground.

Playing on water-soaked diamond
which made 1t impossible for either
team to show any burst of speed on
the field or on the bases, Pensacola
defeated the fast Chickasaw team OF
Mobile yesterday afternoon at Max
ent Park by the score OF to /.
A downpour of rain Saturday night
and Sunday morning put the grounds
In very bad shape. but with the aid
OF gasoline and little drainage the
diamond was put in fair shape, con-
sidering everything, and play was
finally started about A o'clock. The
weather man held the crowd down, as
large number OF fans were under
the impression that it would be impos-
sible to put the grounds in shape, or
more than likely q record breaker
would have been in attendance.
It started out like real ball game
and for the first two innings neither
team scored, but in the first of the
third Chickasaw showed across one
marker which proved to be their only
score of the entire game. The locals
came back strong in their half, max
ing hits and with the aid of an err
ror and a free pass sent men around
the horn. In this inning Birs was
BANKED the home boys until the last
half of the seventh when they bunch
ed three straight singles and field
er's choice, scoring their last tally.
Manager Moriarity 'pinched" for
Feeney in the eighth and took three
healthy swats, drink OF water and
then rested his weary e1ephantine form
on the Chickasaw bench. Rushing
finished the game for Feeney and
showed good form.
1t was iistless game outside of
the free hitting by the locals, which
was led by sticks vilIar, with a two
Dagger and two singles out of three
times up; ''Ham" Gaines was next
best with three healthy singles QUE of
four attempts. "Cuter" Bombay pitch
ed good steady game and but for
HIS own error would have had shut
out to his credit.

II Is a custom of the Chinese to burn
various kinds of effigies at the funeral
ceremonies of the rich, the more
wealthy the departed the more elab-
crate the figures burned over his grave.
These effigies represent every man
ner of thing such as human figures,
horses, sedan chairs, tables loaded With
money, etc. The figures usually con-
ions, but at the funeral of a Mr.. Ii,
who died short time ago in Tientsin,
and who was q very wealthy man, the
bereaved family outdid themselves and
made an imitation OF the deceased gen.
ueman's car to be burned at his grave:
This car effigy was made entirely OF
strong Chinese paper stretched on BAN
plete in every detail, the pedals accu-
rately placed, and all made of paper
and bamboo. The interior of the car
was also accurate in detail, being care
fully upholstered in paper. The effigy
of the driver as shown in the photo
graph, was work of art. The car was
carried about three miles through
crowded streets to the grayeslde where
a match was applied and 1t was con-
sumed in a few minutes.
This is the first time a motor car
has been burned at the grave of a
Chinese, and there is every reason to
believe that the deceased went UP ION
