1.-TWO BITS AN HOUR"

Fort Worth, Texas-The Southern
Pacific railway has reduced wages CT
unskilled workers, and Editor Wood
man, of the Union Banner, says:
"For the unskilled laborer two bits
per hour is the schedule. Will some
one please try to imagine a family
living anywhere in Texas on either
So a day or $3.50? For that is what
it means-either an eightIhour or
1O-hour day, and either $12 or SIS
a week. Perhaps the common laborer
lives in a box car, as many do, and
pays the company board, as many do
there is Likely to be a family some
where dependent upon that wage.
"a wage Of this kind is unfair 1t
is certain to breed disease and bad
citizens, increase crime and make for
a backward civilization"

FREIGHT RATES HARM

Philadelphia.-In the financial col

ence is made to present freight rates
which ''far-sighted statesmen" and

two effects, enc to stop shipments en-

INDIANS LEAD IS
BEING CUT DOWN
Pittsbura National League Leaders Gath.
ering Speed for Their Eastern
Invasion.

NEW YORK, July 3.--The lead of the
Cleveland American worlds champions IL
being cut down rapidly by the on-rush-
ing New York Yankees, while the Pitts
burg National League leaders appear to
be gathering speed for their eastern in
vasion this week. The Indians won to-
day and are only two games ahead Of the
Yankees, who did not play. The Pirates
dropped game to Cincinnati today but
are playing their best ball since regain
ing the leadership from New York early
in June.
In the American league, New Yorks
strong pitching should aid it in the chase
after Cleveland, which is kept in first
place principally through heavy hitting.
The Yankees have not called upon re-
lief pitcher in any of the last ten games.
The Indians were forced to use Mails
frequently last week
Washington, with record of scoring
only one run in each of its last five
games. is threatened by the climbing De-
troit team, which has recovered from its
costly slump. The Tigers held the Clevc-
land leaders even in the series ended to-
day. Boston is getting fair pitching but
lost four straight to New York because
of weak hitting. st. Louis is batting well
but the Brown pitchers are ineffective.
The Chicago twirlers also have been hit
hard. The Philadelphia box men have
been doing splendid pitching. The Ath-
letics took four games out Of five from
Washington in the series ended today.
In the National league, unsettled wealth
er conditions prevented New York and
Boston from attempting to keep pace
with Pittsburg. A double victory over
the Braves today put New York four
and a half games behind the Pirates.

At Maxent Park Toda,

thought I was gone but managed to
last this round.
II felt a little fresher when the bell
rang for the fourth round but at the
outset Dempsey got to my body and
the numb feeling returned so that /
did not feel the blow that floored me.
] gritted my teeth and managed to
arise but the next blow, L believe it
was a right to my chin, was the end
II kept saying to myself: Georges,
you must get up: you must go on and
fight; but could not.
Dempsey fought Clearly and acted
the gentleman all the time There
was not an untoward remark passed
during the four rounds. 1t was an
honor to have fought him, and, believe
me, I don't think it is disgrace for
any man to be defeated by him. He's
a great fighter and it is my prediction
that he will be champion for many
years to come.
After the knockout, Trainer Gus
Wilson said Dempsey came to the
challenger's corner, shook Georges
hand and said:
you're a game fellow, Georges, and
wen be friends always"
You bet, Pack, always" the French
man answered.
Pierre Mallet, Georges war COM
rade, told of an interesting incident
that occurred in the dressing room
Immediately after the fight. Georges
was tired" he said, land his body
ached but he didn't whimper about
that. He just looked up at me and
said: Pierre, old fellow, you've lost
your money on me-but did the best
I could"
Manager Descamps said he had been
rendered any number of contracts for
Georges to tour the country but that
their future plans depended on GER
tain things which he could not men
ton at this time.
We're going to take things easy for
a few days, then maybe We'll decide
what to do" he added.
Many persons motored to the camp
today and asked to see Georges that
they might express their admiration
for him. He sent word to the gate
that he appreciated their kindness and
good wishes, but begged to be ex-
cused from interviews. He received
only few personal friends.

MONTGOMERY And
PENSACOLA PLAY
Bombay Brothers Will Oppose Each
Other in One Of the Games;
First Game at 1:30

Montgomery and Pensacola will
stage a doubleheader at Maxent Park
this afternoon, commencing at 1870
O'Clock. The game yesterday was
called off on account OF rain and the
boys will make up the extra game of
the series by battling twice today.
Stewart, considered the best twirler
in Montgomery, is here to match goods
with Ryan, and the Bombay brothers
VIII stage the second game of the mat
ines.
The series between the clubs stands
at l to now, the visitors having
taken the opener and Pensacola the
Saturday game. The visitors appear
ed to good advantage Friday, fielding
well and hitting consistently. They
also hit well in Saturdays game.
making the same number of safe hits
as Pensacola but their fielding was
exceedingly rocky on the second day.
Perhaps yesterdays rest will get them
back into their stride so that today's
entertainment will be up to standard.
The Ryan Stewart contest will be
interesting if the teams play good ball
behind their pitchers. Stewart was
AhipoA leu especially 10 Trim the local
and his record indicates that
he has plenty of stuff. Heretofore
every pitcher who has turned the To-
Gals back has done so by luck more
than by good pitching and if Stewart
has speed and curves he may be able
to jolt Ryan's men. With both pitch
ers working at top form the game
may turn into an extra inning battle
with the victory going to the side
getting the first break in luck.
Both Gutter and Cammie Bombay
are well enough known to assure their
contest being good one. Montgom-
cry fielded finely behind Cammie last
Friday and If he is given support to-
day he may be able to repeat his win
over his brother. Cammie has two
wins against the locals in as many
starts in the last two years. When he
was here with Vredenburg year ago
he was the only man able to beat the
locals. And he trimmed them again
last Friday.
Cutters work has been consistently
good, although he dropped his last
game. In the series with Gulfport,
however, he pitched 20 innings ana
ost on an error by a team mate. He
will work hard today to get back at
ais brother on the Montgomery club |

other line was operating between 81
Louis and st. Paul. The City of
New Orleans and City OF Baton
Rouge were the larger and best
known vessels OF the Anchor Line
The largest sidewheeler operated on
the river was the Republic.
In addition to the Anchor Line
there were several smaller compan-
les operating from New Orleans to
Natchez, Vicksburg, Greenville and
The Bends" They usually carried
hundred or so passengers and
large freight cargoes. They were
mostly sidewheelers. From St
Louis one line operated as far south
as Fort Benton, Mont.
Freight from up the river included
-four, pork, beef. furniture, hay, cot
ton, rice and sugar. The largest car
go Of cotton ever brought down was
landed by the Henry Frank and con-
sisted of 5000 bales The cotton
was not compressed and the record
has stood.
All the old boats were built on the
same general pattern-broad hulls,
with large, spacious cabins above
and with wide guards. usually piled
high with freight. They were al
most always painted white, and each
was equipped with a whistle slightly
different from the others. 1t was
quite an accomplishment, or was so
