BARONS FIGHT
 TO RETAIN LEAD

Gaining the fore, the Barons fought with amazing vigor and nerve to retain it. In each of the three closing rounds, alert Pelican sprinters gained access to the runways, but Johnson, confronted with defeat, extended himself and checked the rallies of the leaders. Finis Wilson, the mainstay of New Orleans, twirled in wonderful fettle. His fast ball hopped with a meteoric break. His curves swept past the Baron sluggers with a deceptive dart, while his trusty arm responded to his call nobly in the pinches. For six sessions the Pelican defense proved in vulnerable. But in the seventh Higgins plucky fight to stave off downfall proved disastrous when encountered with greater nerve on the part of Roy Ellam and the Pels were humbled.
 But one error was committed by either machine. Birminghams only pebble proved unproductive, but New Orleans lost the game. The battle was fought with cool. calculating tactics. The tow ering figure of Johnson could be observed above the field, calm and deliberate. He possessed rare command of speed, un- erring control in times of stress and 8 wicked curve. While Portwheeler Wilson allowed but five scattered hits, Johnson was batted for eight wallops. Four bases on balls were distributed to the desperate Pels, while Wilson issued five. Happily, the gifts to the Pes proved inexpensive to Johnson, but two of the three win ming runs registered by Birmingham were attributed to two of the five passes

By REUBEN A. LEWIS

New orleans, August 16.-(Specal) )-Bat- ting pluckily, the Barons overcame the hectic onslaught of the desperate Peli- cans and registered a triumph in the opening clash of the momentous series. Finis Wilson's bewidering smoke sweep ing curves and game twisting were dis sipated when elongated Arthur Johnson maintained a pace that the leagues lead CTS were unable to cope with, downing the southpaw to ? in nine innings that were fraught with thrilling situations and sen sational fielding.
 The redoubta5le defenses of the two de- termined machines sparkled in times of stress. Clyde Mcbride crashed into right field fence, but held pluckily to drive from Barbare's bludgeon that would have cost the Barons a victory Gaining the jump on the Pelicans in the opening round, Birmingham was forced to sur render the lead when Johnson was solved for three successive hits that yielded two runs in the fourth. With the mighty New Orleans southpaw moving the Barons down with relentless regularity, a direful fate impended. But in the seventh Catcher Bob Higgins was swept aside from the platter that he had blocked completely by Roy Ellam and endowed Birmingham with a 3 to ? triumph over New Orleans by his error

SHERIFF MAKES Vain
TRIP TO OKLAHOMA
Officials Said Bandit Could
Be Had, But They Let Him
Make His Escape.

Sheriff J. H. Kirtley left Sunday
for Antlers, Okla, having received
a message the day before from Of
flclals there stating that a man was
then at that place, whom the
officers believed is the party want
ed in this county for the murder of
r. K, Arnold at Center a couple of
weeks ago.
Officials at Antlers state that the
mans name is L. A. Wilson, that
his home is at Antlers and that he
left there in company with Y. P.
McPhearson, the man who was
killed at Center, a few weeks before
the killing occurred. He returned
to AntlerS shortly after the tragedy
at Center.
Wilson is said to fill the descrip-
ton OF the man who was engaged
with McPhearson in the duel at
Center Officers at Antlers state
that he has an artificial hand, and
while that was not known here,
it was known that the man who ac-
companied McPhearson never re-
moved his glove from one hand at
any place he is known to have
stopped in this country. That fact
Was noted at every place where
McPhearson and his companion
stopped to take meals or inquire d.
rections, and it was noticed further
that the man apparently had no
use of the hand which he kept
gloved all the time.
However, when Sheriff Kirtley ar
rived at Antlers about 8 o'clock
Tuesday morning he found that
Wilson had been gone from there
more than two days. Officials
there stated that Wilson was seen
in the community Friday morning,
that a watch was kept upon him
and that he was seen to enter a
certain house about dark Saturday
night, Shortly afterward, when Of
ficers went to this house to take
him, he was not there. Wilson was
heard from at Nelson, 12 miles
from Antlers, Sunday morning, the
Oklahoma officials declared.
Sheriff Kirtley is positive Wilson
is the man wanted here. The Of
fcers at Antlers promise to make
every effort to Get on his trail and
capture him, but they have prob
ably let their best opportunity Get
away,

TALK CONSOLIDATION
AT KALONA. TOO

Washington, Jan. 31.-A joint meet
ing of the school boards of Kalona
Snake Hollow, Pleasant Hill and Mid
dleburg districts in English river town.
ship was held this week at Kalona for
the purpose of discussing consolida.
ton. County Superintendent Con.
ner attended the meeting and an
swered many questions in regard to
the workings of consolidated schools
At Kalona they are crowded and in the
near future it will be necessary to pro-
vide more room SO they thought it a
wise thing to suggest and consider the
matter of consolidation and find out
whether any of the rural districts de-
sired to join them. \
Arrangements were made to have a
patrons meeting at each school house
to discuss the matter and learn the
opinions of the patrons. If the scar
city of teachers continues to increase
as it has in the past few years it will
force consolidation of rural districts.
The law requires that agriculture,
manual training and domestic science
be taught in every school after Sep
TENDER, 1916. Many teachers will not
be prepared to teach these branches
and every school house will have to
be equipped for the work.
