THREE BULLETS
STOP BAD NEGRO
William Sims Runs Amuek in North.
ern Part Of City and Is Shot BY
Special Officer.

Will Sims, a negro. is in the Pen
sacola hospital with three bullet holes
from As Colts through his body as
a result Of a shooting ARRAY which was
staged near the corner of Seventh
avenue and Bobe street about sac
o'clock last night. and another negro
who participated in the mixup is in
the city jail.
It seems that Sims and the other
negro, Simon Cant, were considerably
under the influence of liquor and hap
pened along in front of Ed. Wards
house, a white man who lives near the
corner of the aforementioned streets.
The negroes, it is said, stopped in
front of the house and held a drunken
conversation, frequently letting out
vulgar oaths, flashing a revolver
around, and otherwise disturbing the
peace
Mr.. Ward, firing of the cursing near
his home, went to the home of T. /.
Simmons, nearby, who is a special
officer appointed by the police COM
missioner, to get Mr.. Simmons to ar
rest the negroes. Upon being told Of
how the negroes Were acting, he depu-
tized Mr.. Ward to assist him, and both
armed with revolvers, started to arrest
the men.
AS Mr.. Simmons approached the ne
groes, Sims said, Hello, there, boss. {"
and fired his revolver directly in his
face, but the shot went wild and did
not take effect Upon this sudden de-
velopment Mr.. Simmons opened fire
and three shots took effect in Sims
body, one clipping the muscle of the
left arm and entering the negro s
breast and the other two striking near
the right nipple.
In the meantime, several shots had
been exchanged between Mr.. Ward and
the negro Cant, itais said, but none of
which took effect. Cant turned and
fled from the scene but was caught
later and placed in the city Jail.
The police were Immediately notified
and Captain Harper and Special Offi-
Ger Bowman FASTENED out to the scene
of the shooting, the patrol wagon ar
irving a few minutes later. Sims was
carried to the hospital where medical
aid was administered, but it wals not
thought that he would live through the
night.
Mr.. Simmons is being detained at
police headquarters awaiting the OUT
come of the negros wounds.

Mccarthy was willing to bring his team
to Pensacola without a guarantee of
even expenses-provided the trip could
be made by airplane.

hiring the Colonies to Pensacola April 2
and 3. He is taking up the atrpIane
proposition with the proper authorities
as well as with commercial companies.

For several days. s.:lce the failure of

the Pensacola Baseball association have
been working quietly but earnestly in an
effor, to complete the circuit so as to
Include this city in organized baseball
this year. Results have been more or
less uncertain and sometimes discourage
ing. but last night ray of hope and
considerable optimism was injected into
the local men when Mayor c. r. Hayden
of the city of Gulfport called Pres. Bur
goyne over the long distance telephone
and asked him IL Pensacola would meet
with Gulfport on Friday morning at 10
o'clock. 1--WE will" said Mr.. Burgoyne.

make sure that they would have base

definite steps. For that reason the four
clubs organized the Mississippi league.
They win play bali anyway.
But the four clubs left the proposition
of a sixteam league open and left the
fifth club, Pensacola, as the holder of
the fifth franchise in the six-team league
If the sixth team could be found. 1t was
a question of doing what was necessary
to maze sure that the four Mississippi
towns have baseball anyway-and Pen
sacola if possible.
Since that time the local people have
continued to work and last nights call
from Mayor Hayden was the result of
some Of the work. If Gulfport comes in
the league will be completed and Pen

TWILIGHT BALL
FOR PENSACOLA
Meeting Held Last Night Formed
Temporary Organization.

At a meeting of representative cit
liens and baseball fans and those
representing teams that they wished
to enter in a 1921 Twilight league held
at the Y. NJ. c. A Last evening, a
temporary organization was formed.
The meeting was not largely at
tended, but those who were present
were enthusiastically in favor of hav-
ing a Twilight league again this sea-
son regardless of the outcome of or
ganized baseball, and it is more than
certain an organization will be per-
fected.
Temporary officers elected were:
J. H Bay1iss, president and J. P.
Moore, secretary, and another meet
ing was called for next Monday eve
ming at 1880, to be held at the Y. NJ.
c. A. club rooms.
At the meeting last evening it was
practically assured that teams repre-
senting the Whitman's, Y. NJ. c. A.
and the navy, yard would enter, and
are ready now for the umpire to say,
play ball"
Several matters of Importance were
taken up at this meeting, chief among
which was the number of teams to
be allowed to enter, and it was the
consensus of opinion of those pres
ent that it would be a good thing to
have only four teams. So that 1t
would be wise for anyone wishing to
enter team this year to be at the
next meeting and be able to furnish
list of the players that he has
signed up.
Ali baseball fans, managers of
proposed teams and those interested
in having a good, poppy Twilight
league are urged to be present at the
meeting scheduled for the Y. NJ. c. A.
club rooms next Monday evening at
7:30.

their reactions when face to face with
primitive emotions to which only the
instincts OF forgotten ancestors could
respond.
Just what this 'throwback" is Jac-

women. First there is the vivacious
little fiance of the Younger man: she
is portrayed by Helen Lynch. Then
there is the business mans wife, play
