Death of a Young Child.

Worth, Jr., the two months
baby of Mr.. and Mrs. Worth
Bates, died Monday morning at
5:15 O'clock at the home, 17O5

gave early promise of being a
strong healthy baby, but a short
time ago illness developed which
physicians were unable to cor
rect.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bates have the
sympathy of the entire commu-
nifty in the loss of their little
boy.

ed by Rev. R. N. Allen, were
held at the home Tuesday af,
ternoon at 3 o'clock.

Athletics Z; Odessa 5.

The Odessa baseball team
made their third attempt Sun
day to win a game from the
Athletics, and although Cald-
well, pitching for the Athletics,
had nothing but his glove and
noodle to offer their. batsmen,
they could not win with fourteen
hits to their credit.
Odessa's pitcher, Mr.. Carson,
by name, had all three chances
to down the home boys, and did
pretty well in the first two
games, but Sunday the boys
sent him to the scrap heap in
jig time. He was found for six
runs in four innings and was
succeeded by Stemmens, the
star of Missouri University's
victorious team last season.
Stemmens put on the brakes and
was found for only one run.
The Lexington intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1901-1949, 1917-09-21
NOTES OF THE GAME

1t was rumored that a scout
from Malta Bend, Mo-, was a
spectator at the game Sunday.
He was giving Lefty" Carson
the "once over"
Tim Caldwell showed the O.
dessa boys that he still has a
few base ball brains left in that
"old noodle" of his.
The game Sunday was the
last of the season for the Odessa
team. Some of their players
going back to the University.
Carson seemed to be putting
'em where "Old Man Merkle'
likes 'em. He got a hit each
time that he faced Lefty"
Our old friend Shoemaker
happened to be on hand just
when he was needed. He scored
a couple of runs in the first wher
he knocked the ball over the
left field fence for two bases.
Jay Harding called himself
pulling off some Uptown" stuff
in the ninth inning, but it die
not work. Hard luck Jay.
Pat Mason showed the boys
that he can still crack the ole
apple on the nose.

Lafayette's Second Quota of 50

SiXty-nine more Lafayette

Riley where men are being

After the roll call Tuesday af-
ternoOn, those who lived near by

Talks were made by Judge S. N.
Wilson, who presided, E. M.
Taubman, C. A. Keith, H. F.

gentlemen are sentiments of
the community, that the going
into the army is making the
highest sacrifice; but one that
many have already made and
one that many others will be
called upon to make.
Refreshments were served and
good fellowship prevailed thru
out the evening.

chances for a destructive fire
were very great. The fire COM
