Frank Seaman, peerless box artist,
trimmed those chesty OLearyites from
across the big drink yesterday and
did it Nd in fine style, 2 to L He was
onnosed by none other than Abner
Gould. the famed MuScatine banker
who was shortchanged, as 1t were. AID
allowed one hit less than Seaman. but
the Islanders hit in pinches and used
a hit of inside baseball to squeeze over
two runs
Although he yielded eight hits, Scan
Ian was entitled to shutOut- An err
ror and Wolfe's crippled condition
made possible the only run Davenport
secured. Il was an alright, intensely
interesting game throughout and the
handful OF fans who attended were
treated to nine innings of high class
pastiming. Both teams played Drill
liant defensive game. Jerry Eddinger,
who officiated behind the platter, call
ed many of the Islanders out on
strikes, Gould sneaking them over the
corner on several occasions. 1t was
Rock Islands first victory over Daven-
port this season, and SCanlan's third
successive win.
Seaman moved down the Blue Sox
in one, two three order in the first
round. Rock Island got its first run
in the second half of this session. Hol-
locher flied out to COnger and Erie
vein whitfield Wolfe drew four wide
ones. Mcbride. who has been hitting
like a demon for the past week, picked
ont a fast one and damned it clear to
the score board in center for two
sacks, Wolfe scoring on the hit In
rounding third Wolfe strained a ten
dom in his leg and limped The re-
mainder of the game. Biltz famed
ending the rally.
Things breeZed along in fine style
Gould holding the home guard hitless
from the first to the fifth inning. In
this frame Lister doubled, but died on
second. Seaman was never in dan
ger until the sixth. In this frame
Gould surprised himself by lamming a
double to center Lynch scratched an
infeld hit. Gould going to third. Keep
ping went out, Seaman TO Lister
O'Brien drove sCreecher right into
the hands of Wolfe, who made beau
tiful return to the plate, holding All
on third Seaman then purposeIy
walked the mighty Bert Graham. Dug
gan poled a long fly to Biltz, ending
the session.
Double Steal Works.
Rock Island came back in the last
half of the sixth with another tally
Erlewein singled through third after
Hollocher had been called out on
strikes. ErleWein stole second. Wolfe
whitfield, his injured leg bothered him
Mcbride scratched an infield hit. Erie
vein and Mcbride then manipulated a
double steal, Fritzie counting when
koepping pegged wild to O'Leary.
With two down in the eighth, Erie
vein bobbled O'Brien's grounder. and
Ray was safe at first Graham drove
a long hit over Wolfe's head for three
sacks, O'Brien scoring. The score:

critical moment the officer would
have united the two boys into one
couple and the two girls into another,
but the tangle was quickly straighN
ened out when Justice Harton finally
shouted: 81 pronounce you all hus-

The hurry of the contracting par

the fact that they wanted to catch

DOUBLE WEDDING
IN CLERKS OFFICE

In a double wedding in which two
pretty Vilonia girls were the brides
and at which the furtive and startled
looks of the young grooms caused
the suspicion that it was an elope-
mentor, rather, two elopements-
occurred at the office of County
Clerk John Reeves late yesterday af-
ternoon. The couples were Hey Ward
and Miss Flora Bostic and Fred
Simpson and Miss Pearl Harrod.
Accompanied by Postmaster Wallace
Grady of Nilonia, they arrived here
in car just as it was growing
dark last evening. Each man and
each girl, they said, had just arrived
at exactly the legal age, q and IS,
respectively, and they wanted a pair
of licenses just as quickly as they
could be written, likewise the services
of the county judge. Judge Smith
had left his office and could not be
located immediately, so Justice of the
Peace d. o. Harton, Jr., was called
for.

NATIVE CONWAY BOY
WAR CORRESPONDENT
Tom A. Price, Born Here, Son of
Former Log Cabin Editor, is Visit
ing Conway Relatives.

An interesting visitor to Conway
this week is Tom A. Price of New
York, who is a guest at the home of
Mrs. P. H. Prince. Mr.. Price is a
native of Conway, born here in the
early days of the town, and this is his
first visit here in nearly 80 years.
His father, Frank J. Price, worked
for several years as printer and for
a short time as editor of the Log
Cabin Democrat, founded by A. F.
Livingston in 1879. The elder Price
left here in 1884 and, gradually work
ing his way upward in the newspaper
world, finally became editorin-chief
of the New York Telegraph, one of
the greatest of the metropolitan DALI
les. and he is regarded as one of the
foremost political writer's and experts
in the nation. He is a descendant of
John Sewer, the first governor of
Tennessee, and is thus related to Mrs.
Prince. her brother, Bishop f. f.
Hoss, and the numerous members of
the Sewer family in this section of
Arkansas, including former County
Judge +. G. Sewer, now of Perry
county.
Young Mr.. Price himself has had
most interesting career, although the
natural reticence of a newspaper man
in talking about himself makes him
reluctant to speak of his adventures.
For several months prior to the out
break of the European war he was
stationed in London as a correspond
ent of the International News Ser
vice. He proceeded to the continent
when the war began, but, unable to
get in such close touch with the stu
alton as he desired, he returned to
England and enlisted in a Canadian
regiment, which was sent to northern
France. For nearly yearhe remain
ed in the trenches, and during that
time he was able to send exclusive
dispatches to his newsgathering as
sociation, forwarding copy by fur
loughed soldiers under the guise of
love letters to an English girl in Lon
don, with whom he had made arrange
ments to deliver it to the London cor

respondent of the news service. The
correspondent smuggled the copy by
means of returning Americans to New
York and thus much matter that
would never have passed the censors
was published in the United States.
For such enterprise, however, the In
ternational News Service correspond
ents were recently barred from Eng
land and the continent.
The curiosity of soldier to whom
he had entrusted one of his dispatches
finally proved to be Mr.. Prices un-
doing and nearly cost him his life.
The Tommy" decided to ascertain
what sort of love letter an American
would write and when he read the
contents of the envelope he was car
rying he turned it over to a officer.
The correspondent was at once
arrested and on the same day was
court-martialed and sentenced to be
shot on the following morning. Dur
ing the night he stunned the guard
with a blow from a chair post and
escaped from an improvised guard
house into the darkness. For eight
days he concealed himself during day.
light and at night endeavored to find
some means of escape, while a con-
stant search was being maintained for
him. Finally he met an American
aviator, in charge of high-powered
aircraft capable of travelling 200
miles an hour, and his fellow-country-
man responded to his appeal by safe
" conveying him across the English
Channel and far into the interior of
England. He at last succeeded in get
ting aboard an American vessel as a
stowaway and thus reached American
soil once more.
Mr.. Price says he has about decided
to abandon active newspaper work
and is thinking of locating on farm
in Arkansas, but will probably con-
tinue writing short stories for maga-
zines, line of work in which he has
more recently keen engaged.
