NOW AT CAMP
 BEAUREGARD, LA.
The 142nd Field Artillery Broke Camp at Fort Roots Last Saturday and Boys are Now in New Quarters In Louisiana.
In Louisiana.

Owing to censorship regulations the 142nd Regiment, F. A., of which Bat tery 4 of Springdale is member, dropped off the face of the earth, fig uratively speaking, for several days. Information from some of the boys re- ceived latter part of last week inti- mated that they would move soon, but just when they would go and where was not stated. A telegram received Monday by Mrs. Brogdon from Capt. B. B. Brogdon announced their safe arrival at Camp Beuregard, near Alexandria, La, and since that time nothing was heard from any of the boys until yesterday morning letters were received by relatives from a number of the boys. The regiment left Fort Roots Saturday, but no men, tion was made of it in the newspapers Guy Stafford, war correspondent" for The News, appears to have been lost in the shuffle, as no word has been received from him, but he will probably get his bearings in time for next issue
 It seems to be the general under standing that the regiment will spend the winter at Camp Beauregard, but of course this Is mere speculation. They may be there month and may be there a year.
 Shortly before leaving Fort Roots the old Second Arkansas Infantry was reorganized as the 1442nd Field Artil- lery, and company commanders as signed to the command of batteries composed Of the=old companies. h. stead of Company A, as formerly, it is now Battery A, etc. As an artillery regiment is composed of only about half as many men as an infantry regi- iment, the organization Is now up to full war strength of TOO The regi- ment expected to receive artillery equipment on reaching Camp Beau regard.
 Following is the new organization of the regiment
 Regimental Headquarters-C Henry Stroupe, commander; Lieuten- ant Colonel Ownbey, Captain E. C.. Robertson, adjutant.
 Battalion Headquarters, First Bat talion-Major Bradford, command ing; Captain. Leon B. Powell, adju- tant

A. c. Watson closed deal few days ago for the purchase of building and plant of the Springdale canning factory, the property having been in possession of the First National Bank for some time to secure the pay ment of obligations incurred while the plant was being operated by a joint stock company MT Watson sold the plant soon after purchasing it, the name of the owners not having been made public. It is understood, how ever, that Oscar Nelson is interested and that he will manage the business next year. It is said there will be am- pie capital back of the business. The building and plant is probably the best of the kind in this section, and for the past few seasons has been operated by Banks < Appleby Bros. on a rental basis Oscar Nelson, the new manag- CT of the business, has been operating small canning plant the past seas on at Hewitt's spring, east of town, and also one at Tontitown

October IT was the twentieth ami versary of the disastrous head-on col lision between two freight trains, which occurred some two miles north of Springdale. The two engines were almost demolished, and Hugh Mccall, head brakeman on the north bound train who was riding in the cab of the engine, was killed, as was also an un- known tramp beating his way on the same train. The identity of this man was never established, if memory serves us right, and the body was buried in Bluff Cemetery. Joe Kinney, engineer on the north bound train, jumped before the collision occurred and escaped with broken leg and some broken ribs The fireman, War ren Furry, went down with the en- zine and received injuries which made him cripple for life James Johnson, head brakeman, were also badly in- jured The responsibility for the wreck was charged to John Allen, To- cal telegraph operator, who had or ders to hold the north bound train here, but this train was on the siding for No. and after the departure of the latter train, got away before AL len could deliver his orders.

DICK MARSHALL PLAYING
FOR MAHAN'S MARINES

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 3.-Dick
Marshall, former Pennsylvania quar-
terback, has enlisted in the marine
corps here, and will play in today's
game against the Camp Meade
Officers eleven from Admiral, Nd.
Marshall was a great punter when
wearing the Red and Blue of old
Penn, and his accession to the eleven
is cause for much JOY in the barracks.
The schedule OF the Marine team is
as follows: Camp Meade, Saturday,
at Shibe Park; Ambulance Corps, on
Franklin Field, November 10: Rutgers.
at the Polo Grounds, November II,
pending: Camp Lee, Of Petersburg, w.
Va, at Washington. November "a:
Naval Reserve team from Newport, at
Shibe Park, on Thanksgiving morn
Ing.
The men do not underestimate the
strength OF the eleven from Camp
Meade, and are anticipating even
more than Just q hard game. From
reports made by a former college star
who saw them play Conshohocken last
Saturday, and who saw the Usaacs
play the same team the week pre-
vious, there is little to choose be-
tween the two service opponents.
1t has also been announced that an
effort is being made to take the Ma
rIne team TO Boston on Thanksgiving
Day. In the event of this coming to
pass the game that has beeen cltnched
to be played with the Newport Naval
Reserves at ShIbe Park will be con-
tested in the Harvard Stadium.

PRATT WILL NEVER
PLAY FOR BROWNS,
SAY HIS FRIENDS

ST. LOUIS. Nov. 3.-That DerrIu
Pratt is sure to be with the Yankees
next season is the belief OF his many
friends In this city. It is well known
that he will never play for Phil Ball
again.
On his recent visit to st. Louis. Ban
johnson conferred with Pratt and
Lavan, the two players who are suing
Ball for slander, seeking to have them
call of their suit. Johnson failed alb
solutely.
There Isn't a chance for our do
ing that" Pratt is said to have re-
piled to the car OF baseball. Fur
thermore, ! wouldn't play another
season for Ball II he gave me the
whole $4,000 for which 1 am suing
him."
Both Pratt and Lavan are spending
the winter here Lavan Is practIcIng

JONES WILL QUIT
BECAUSE BASEBALL
FACES HARD TIMES

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 3.-When Fielder
Jones arrives home. and has had time
to consider the situation OF the st.
Louis Browns and OF baseball in
general, he IL expected to announce
his retirement, but 1t will not be
because his enemies are seeking Is
scalp. It will be because he is in
dependently wealthy and feels that
the national pastime is facing trou-
biesome times. At any rate, that's
what his friends hore say about 1t.
Jones invested his savings in lum-
Der and fruit lands in Washington
and Oregon when he left the Chicago
White Sox, and II was only after con-
siderable negotiating that the Fede. al
League chieftains succeeded in coax
ing him back to the diamond and
installed him as part owner and man
ager OF the Terriers.
His ST. Louis Feds made a won
derfui fight for the pennant, losing
inside of the last three days, and
when the American League took the
Terriers into its fold and allowed
him to amalgamate them with the
Brownies, every local fan saw a pen
nant flying from the staff at Sports
mans Park.
That Jones has failed, none knows
better than himself. He admitted in
the fall OF 1915 that "the American
League was faster than the Federal
League" He dropped many Of his
Terriers last spring. and believed his
combination might do better. His
hopes vanished, however, early in the
1917 campaign and, now with the
shadow OF war hanging over base
ball, Jones Is ready to quit and 20
back to his lumber yards and his
orchards.

NOTRE DAME EFIGHTNG
STRONG ARMY TEAM

WEST POINT, N Y, Nov. 3.-For
the NTH time in as many years the
nghting sons OF Notre Dame will do
battle against the Army eleven today.
The game is the headIiner on the
Eastern schedule, not only because of
the fact that it is an intersectIonal
contest, but because It has become a
fixture which the football public
looks forward TO each fall.
The Army and Notre Dame have
met four times. and each has scored
two victories, so the winning OF to-
days game means much to the victor.
The cadets have not been defeated
so far this year. while Notre Dame
has met with one reverse. losing to
Nebraska, to o, after playing 4
scoreless tie against Wisconsin.
