PUG" CLARK STARS
 AND SEWS UP GAME
NORMAL SECON SACKER SAVES GAME WHEN PITCH
 FIR GETS IN HOLE.

"Pug" Clark, second d-baseman fol the State Normal team, saved the game for the Pedagogues yesterday afternoon when he chased way back to center field and pulled down a Tex as leaguer which looked good for two bases. With the bases full and one out, in the last half of the ninth in ming, and the score to 1 in favor of the Normal, Thomas Moore of the lnvincibles hit a hard one to center which had the appearance of a per fectly good two-base wallop. But the aforementioned second-sacker tucked his head and made a desperate dash plucked the horsehide before it struck earth, and shot it to second for a double play. That particular stunt broke up the pastime.
 l Luckadoo was on the mound fol the Teachers and pitched a good game, things going his way until the eventful ninth He was touched foi six hits. McCulloch pitched for the city team, and fared well, only six safeties being garnered off his de. livery. Errors at critical stages lost the game for the Invincibles.

BELIEVED BOY WAS
 KILLED BY NEGRO
TRAGEDY AT WARD. ARK.
MUTILATED BODY, SKULL BROKEN, BRAINS KNOCKED
 OUT, FOUND BY TRAMPS.

Little Rock, April 2O.-Carl Cherry a white boy aged about 20, was killed near Ward, Lonoke county, Sunday night, it is believed by a negro, who coveted the $13 he knew Cherry pos sessed.
 Cherry's mutilated body, hidden un- der pile of crossties, was found in a gully near the Iron Mountain rail- road tracks about a half mile from Ward yesterday morning. The dis covery was made by some tramps who were walking along the track.
 Cherry and the negro, Brown, were employed by little minstrel show that has been touring the small coun- try town of Pulaski and Lonoke coun- ties. Brown was buck and wing dancer and Cherry general roust- about. Both quit the show at Ward Saturday night and started to walk to Little Rock. Before they started, Cherry displayed SIS.
 Sheriff Pat Swain of Lonoke coun ty, who was at McRae, White county. last night, following Browns trail, said over long distance telephone that there is no doubt that Brown killed the boy to get his SIS.
 "The boy had put up a brave fight for his life,' said the sheriff. "The railroad embankment was badly torn up where the boy had evidently fought desperately. He had torn of part of the negro's shirt. The frag- ment that we found was identified by the show people as having been worn by the negro. Also we found at the scene of the fight a folding suit hanger that was identified as one the negro had tried to sell at Ward. Also we found one of the shoes tnat the negro was carrying in his overcoat pocket when he left Ward.
 "The show people tell us that the negro, Brown, had a bad reputation He carried sharp knife and boasted of the number of fights in which ne had been engaged and proudly ex- hibited scars that he had received in these fl ehts."
 Sherig Swain found that Brown boarded a north-Dound Iron Mountain passenger train at midnight at Aus tin, Lonoke county. He was seen to climb upon the blind baggage. Learn ing this, Sheriff Swain hurried to McRae, where the minstrel show gave an exhibition last night in order to get more detailed description.pf the negro.
 Little is known of the dead boy. He had said that his home was in Rambauer, Mo-, and that he former ly had worked in Poplar Bluff, Mo. No infoYmation as to his relatives had been obtained last night. Brown joined the show at Wrightsville, Pu- laski county.
 Cherry apparently had been beaten to death with a club. His skull had been broken and his brains knocked out. His body had been dragged about 50 feet, leaving heavy trail of blood.
