BASE BALL GAME.
Audubon Bible Club and Extra

Audubon Bible Club and Extra 7.
Some time ago the Mems Bible
Club organized ball team and yes
terday it received its first tryout at
the hands of team from Extra and
the result is as above indicated. Al
though the boys are sadly deficient in
practice they put up good game and
should feel gratified that the score
was not larger when we consider that
their opponents have played about
ten matched games already this sea-
son and that it has in it no less than
four hired players. 1t was gingery
game and better one has not been
seen in these parts for some time,
plenty of hitting, good sharp fielding,
with everybody in the game at all
times, and that is what makes the
game dear to the hearts of the true
sportsman. Preston pitched the first
six innings and +. Kile the last three.
The former has been troubled with a
sore arm and consequently has TO be
careful in pitching. Erb, profess
ional from Baltimore, Md. was on the
slab for the visitors and pitched
good game, being especially strong
in fielding his position. The game
was played in good time and was free
from delays occasioned by disputes,
everything went off smoothly, this
being largely due to the good work
OF Ed Session of Fiscus, who umpired
the game.

Isle Of Pines Editor
Former Butler Boy.

Jefferson City, Mo-, March a.
Quite a number Of prominent Mis-
sourlans and State officials have
lately received copies Of the Isle Of
Pines Appeal, a weekly publication,
issued at the Isle of Pines. Its editor
IL Arthur E. Willis, a native OF But
Ter, Mo. He was employed in the
Governors Office at Jefferson City
during all OF Senator Stones admin
istration, and a part OF Governor
Stephens term. He was so employ
ed at the breaking out OF the hostil-
tiles between the United States and
Spain.
Mr.. Willis Joined the Second Mis-
souri, Regiment Of Volun teers, and
hsld some minor position in ethe JET
ierson City company of that regi-
ment. After the war he driited into
Cuba and finally launched an Ameri-
can newspaper.
Mr.. Willis was always full OF fight,
and he came by this characteristic
honestly, for his father was fear.
less man, and lost his life while he
was serving under Colonel Elijah
Gates, OF st. Joseph, as a Deputy
United States Marshal, in a desper.
ate hand.to.hand fight with the
Marshal OF Butler. Both men were
killed.
Editor Willis pours out frey edi.
torials against the Idea Of the Isle Of
Pines being any part Of the Cuban
Government. He holds that 1t IL
American territory, and refuses to
abide by any Of the customes sought
to be enforced by the Cuban Govern
ment that would in any way com.
promise the idea that the claims OF
Cuba to, ownership in the island are
valid.
Mr.. Willis will not receive anything
but American money In payment for
his paper or for advertising. There
must be q good many Americans
there already, judging from the
names that appear in bis paper.
