Much interest is being manifested
in this proposed game, each side

perch upon its banner. J. O.

perfect trim to pull off some great
sprinting stunts, while DR.. Throg-
morton is spending ms nights in q
barn with a kicking mule IN order
to get accustomed to incurves, out
curves, etc. About the only advant
age the leans will have in this gam,
is that their pitcher, Mr.. Norment
can stand in the box and put a run
ner out anywhere on the damon,
without leaving bis pqsitlon.

POCAH0NTAS JUST
EATS 'EM UP ALIVE
"RexalIS" Win Two Decisive VIC
tories in First Games of the
Season

A crowd of fellows from Hoxie,
who were labOring under the delu,
SION that they could play baseball,
came over Friday and were trimmed
up by the Pocahontas "Rexalls" to
the tune of IL to 4. 1t could have
as easily been 90 to 4 so far as the
boys were concerned, only they did
not desire to embarrass the visitors
any further. If Hoxie expects to
keep in sight Of our boys this season
they will have to get different line
up to what they had here,

But the crushing defeat came
Wednesday when Corning came
over, expecting to clean up the
earth with our boys. They were
about the worst disappointed set,
however, that we have ever seen.
Angle chopped 'em out right and
lett. Not more than half a dozen
ever succeeding in reaching first
base, and only one poor lone fellow
reached third. 1t was plain to be
seen that they were no match for
the "Rexalls." The best feature
of Corning's part of the game was
an outfeld catch by Stephens.

GRAND STAND HAS
BEEN ERECTED

Pocahontas will not be behind
other towns this season III the mat.
ter of convenience and accommoda-
tions for those who wish to witness
the baseball contests.
To E. r. Henderson belongs the
honor of inaugurating movement
to erect grand stand on the ground.
Really he did more than that. He
purchased the material on his own
accord and the boys secured some
competent help and the stand has
been erected. 1t is located just in
the rear of home base, from which
point every feature of the game
may be observed. In this Mr..
Henderson made no mistake. We
are sure each business and profess
sional man in Pocahontas will con-
tribute his share toward defraying
the expense of the stand. We be.
lieve further that the money derived
from the sale OF seats will pay all
the expenses Of future games. 1t
is much better to raise the expense
money in this manner than to have
to take up collections every time
matched game is played.

ORGANIZATION OF
TIE "REXALLS"

A regular baseball organization
has been effected in Pocahontas and
the boys are now going at the mat
ter IN a business like manner. A
meeting held Monday resulted in
the organization of an association
with 4. r. Henderson, president;
w. NJ. Forester, secretary and
treasurer; Allen Bacon, field mana.
ger and f. Z. Goodwin, umpire.
The team is to be known as the
Pocahontas "Rexalls" and the line,
up as they are4now playag is q
follows:
Bacon, c; Sloan, $; Brown, 80
b; Howe, 2nd b; Lynch, lst b; An,
derson, f; Douglas, f; Hamil,
+ f; Angle, p.
A grand stand has been erected
which will seat 200 people and q
movement is on foot to enclose the
grounds, which will probably be
done in the near future. In the
meantime however, the boys are
open t 0 engagements with any
team in Pqndolph or adjoining
counties.

John r. Kizer, secretary a n

at Maynard Tuesday and while there
received the sum of 5000 IN sub.
scription for the premiums to be

the intention of the secretary to

SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR
GOV. DREW fund

Several volunteer ten and five
dollar subscriptions have been re-
ceived for the Gov. Drew fund up
to date. Public sentiment seems to
favor this movement and from the
number we have heard express them
selves in regard to the matter we
take the liberty to say that the nee
cessary amount of money will be
raised.
We have been waiting to hear
expressions from the people in re-
gard to the matter and now we are
going TO raise the money. A sub
scnption paper has been prepared
which will be circulated within the
next day or two and we hope that
every man in Pocahontas will con-
tribute something. This is parl.
otic duty we owe to the memory of
a great and good man.
The names of all contributors to
this fund will be published in the
Star Herald from week to week un.
til the money is raised.
We hope the gentlemen whom
Judge Meeks mentioned in his let
ter last week, together with other
patriotic citizens, will take up the
work in their respective localities.
Only a little effort on the part of
each will be ne cessary to produce
the desired results.

LITTLE ROCK WRITER
SCORES LEGISLATURE

a correspondent to the Memphis
News Scimitar from Little Rock
referring to the matter Of bringing
the remains Of Gov. Drew back to
Arkansas says:
The Legislature, which has APP
propriated about three million dol
lars for other purposes, and has
cost the people of Arkansas 81, ,2s3
a day, refused an appropriation Of
$500 to bring back to his old home
the remains OF former Gov. Drew,
which lie in an unmarked grave at
Lipan, Tex. The senate passed the
bill, but the house, with retrench-
nent fever, defeated the approprla-
ton.
"The movement was started by
some of the older citizens of Poca-
hontas, where the wife and other
relatives of the governor are buried.
The money is being raised by pri-
vate subscription, and the people of
Lawrence and Fulton counties are
assisting their neighbors of Ran
dolph in the enterprise. Gov.
Drew was one of the notable char
acters in early Arkansas politics.
He lived in a log house when he
was elected, campaigned the state
on horseback, and resigned in ApriI
! 1916, that he might return to tn,
