Chattanooga Aggregation Will Stage Bat
tle With Locals Here Monday and
Tuesday, June 19 and 20.
I
The Chattanooga Club of the
Southern League will be here Mon
day and Tuesday fdl>a two'game se
ries with Brookhaven, it was an
nounced today noon by the manage
ment of \he local ball club. This is
the greatest news ever peddled to
the baseball fans of central-south
ern Mississippi, and will dr$w to
Brookhaven the sport-loving public
from Hammond, La., to Jackson and
from Natchez to Hattiesburg.
Anyone who has witnessed the ma
jority of the games played this sea
son by the Brookhaven club will im
mediately acknowledge that Brook
haven has a team superior to any
team in the Cotton States League.
Many of the fans believe the local
team almost equal to the average
clubs of the Southern League, and
now that this golden glorious op
portunity to see the Brookhaven club
in action against a Southern league
team is given the public, its a safe
prediction to say that the park will
be filled'as it has never been filled
before.
The confidence of the players of
the Brookhaven team to at least
break even with the leaguers in the
coming series has caused the fans to
believe that the locals will show up
fully as well as the visiting leaguers.
Monday’s listless ball playing—to
give it an euphonious name—Extend
ed over to several innings of Tues
day’s contest, especially the first
frame when the locals sorter took
things easy until Flora put over four
counters. Neither scrimmage was of
the brand to set the grass in center
field ablaze. The best thing that
can be said about it is that it has
been a lesson—or rather a warning
—that will prevent the local team
from taking any unnecessary liber
ties with visiting teams, no matter
how weak they may'appear. \
Nothing In the world takes the pep
out of players-^-and fans—like go
ing into a ocntest with the resfilt as
sured—it tends to cause carelessness,
with unpleasant errors.
At that, there were several bright,
yea even brilliant, spots sprinkled
throughout both games. Miller, in
the first game, hurled splendid ball.
He remained on the hill until the
game was safely salted away, then
Echardt and Barbour exercised their
flinging wings for a spell. The out
field played infield, Castaing - went
behind the bat and Weeks parked
himself in the right garden.
In the second game both Williams
and Taylor pitched steady ball, but
numberous errors on both sides—on
the Flora side it was mostly errors of
judgment, but none the less expen
sive—allowed many unearned runs
to scamper across the plate.
The locals go to Hattiesburg for
the week-end for a three game se
ries, then return here for a two game
series with the Qhftttanooga club of
the Southern League Monday dnd
Tuesday.

‘/Hit it out, Eckardt, hit it out”,
pleaded a frenzied feminine fan at
Tuesday's game when Eric came to
bat with the paths clogged with
Brookhdven runners. "Yes, you’d
better do your hitting now” suggest
ed another soft voiced fannette, “for
you’re going to be married Wednes
day, and after that the wife will, do
most of the hitting in your family—
with a rolling pin.”
Cupit made a sensational nab of
Smith’s long drive to right in Tues
day’s game when he raced back to
wards the fence and pulled down
what looked like a three-bagger bill
ed through the fence. Cupit was
running full speed away from the
grandstand when he reached up and
speared the ball with the tip of his
fingers. The runner went on to sec
end base, thinking the hit was a safe
one, and the umps had to explain
that Cupit made the putout.
The first negro games of the sea
son will be played on the home lot
rhursday and Friday, while the
Brookhaven boys are in Hattiesburg.
1’he black boys always play sensa
tional ball, arid a game between two
negro teams carries more jazz and
pep than is found in a panful of
Mexican tamales. The caustic com
ments from friend and foe in the
grandstand is better 4han a vaude
ville show. There will be reserve
sections for the white patrons at
tending these games Thursday and
Friday.
There is not a better first-sacker
In any of the big top line-ups than
Ham Fish.” Once in two whiles Man
ager Ham will perpetrate an error—
all of ’em do it—but taken by and
large, his work is so doggone good
that he makes the most difficult
chances look tame. _As a performer
:>H. the paths, Ham Is certainly the
class of any players below major
leagues. His success as a manager
Is not to be wondered at; for he
knows baseball, 41kes his players and
the players like him. A combination
that will win in any league. - -

IN'BLAZE EARLY TODAY
- ■ t
Sam Harveston and John Britt Lose
.-Homes Near Cemetery—Loss
Estimated at $2,500/
At 2:00 o’clock this morning two
dwelling houses, just south of the
cemetery, were totally destroyed by
fire. The blaze was first discovered
in the home of Sam Harve^on, and
quickly spread to an adjoining house
occupied by John Britt, negro, and
conducted as a hoarding house. When
the fire department reached the scene
the Haverston home was a solid mass
of flames and the other building a
flre all along the cojnb of the roof
and along the side next to Harves
ton’s house. Efforts to save the
Britt home proved futile. Nothing
at all was saved from either place.
Acording to Mr. Haverston, who
with his wife and two children have
lived in Brookhaven for several
years, the Are was first discovered in
the top of the building between the
roof and 'the overhead ceiling. By
the time an alarm could be turned
in the entire top of the house was
blazing.
The loss of both buildings will to
tal, according to an estimated made
by the fire chief, around t*,500 with
$250.00 insurance onJ|e Britt home
and only $500 on th™home of Mr.
Harveston.
LATE PLANTED CORN. * f
*-*
Some farmers are asking if it , is
too late to plant corn. Experiments
and experience both say no. Many
farmers have gotten excellent yields
when they planted as late as the 1st
sf July. Experiments at the Missis
sippi A. & M. College and at the
Alabama Experiment station show
hat plantings made as late as June
25th produced fair returns.
The land should be well plowed
and harrowed before planting and if
this is done, weeds and grass do not
nterfere with the growing crop as
hey do with early plantings.
Late planted corn should be put
ieeper in the soil especially if the
and is stubble and dry to secure
prompt germination. The corn may
je covered deeply and the surface
iarrowed off just before it comes up.
When the land is treated in this
way. the corn plants come up in a
:lean surface „ and do not require
)arly working.
It is observed that late planted
-orn suffers more from smut, rust,
ind roasting ear worms than early
)lantings but they are not damaged
rom corn weevils to the same de
cree.
Late plantings or corn respond to
fertilizers. When the corn is plant
ed, an application of 100 pounds of
icid phosphate and 50 pounds of nl- *
rate of soda per acre put in the drill
ir mixed with the sail at planting
Lime will hurry up the crop greatly.

nigh 75 or 100 pounds more of nt
;rate or its equivalent should be ap
plied to the corn as a side dressing.
VARIETIES TO PLANT.

ege has conducted several late plant
id variety tests. Dwarf Mexican
rune and Gatiod have stood at or
lear the top of the list in production

iny of these do not hesitate to plant
