trip to Texas in vain effort to bene-
fit her health, Miss Pearl Townsend,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. r. B. Town
send, died at the Union station in Lit
tie Rock at II O'Clock yesterday morn
ing. Miss Townsend had been suffer
ing for several months with tubercu-

she could survive.
The body was borught to Conway
accompanied by the sorrowing father,
on the $3.50 train yesterday afternoon.
The funeral was held from the family
residence at Cadron Gap this after
noon at J2:30 o'clock. Services were
conducted by Rev. c. j. Dawson and
the buri al was at Oak Grove ceme-
terry.
Miss Townsend was about 20 years
OF age and was a young lady of un-
usual accomplishments and attractive
ness, and many friends were deeply
grleved to learn of her death. Less
than il year ago her elder sister died
from the same disease.

By taking the final game of the sea-

College won an undisputed claim on
the state collegiate baseball champion
ship, and Coach V. A. Wilburs three
seasons work in developing a base
ball machine finally achieved its re-
ward. Arkansas College was the on
ly one of the five colleges against
which Hendrix played that gave them
much trouble. The Batesville collee-
ians took two games on local grounds
two weeks ago, but Hendrix returned
the compliment by performing the
same stunt at Batesville Tuesday and
Wednesday. Roberts for Hendrix and
Ward for Arkansas pitched all four
of the games, each winning two in
succession while playing away from
home.

sary for a game between their team
and Conway high to be played to de-
eide the championship. Superintend-
ent w. B. Hubbell is not worrying
over the outcome, however. He stat
ed this morning that he had seen no
reports in the newspapers of any
games played by De Queen and was
under the impression that their team
had not probably met all the require
ments of the State Athletic Associa-
ton. He said, however, he was per-
fectly willing, if DeQueen could prove
the record they claim, to allow the
championship to be decided by Sc
ries between the two schools.
Superintendent Hubbell this morn
ing secured a game with Little Rock
to be played Saturday or Monday,
which will qualify the locals as having
participated in six regulation games.
