When pneumonia closed Les Darcy's 8
lungs at a Memphis, Tenn. hospital yes
terday the most abused and rldiculed ath-
lete of modern time passed away. Per
haps the. Great Judge will be more lenient
than We're those who passed sentence
upon his acts during the past few months
However that may be- 1t is probable that
those who reyiled and censured and con-
demned and scoffed will forget their bit
terness and wish him well on that long
journey we all must take.
Darcy was a misguided youth. He was
as ii were. a victim of circums tances. At
heart he meant well, but his inexperience
made him easy prey for souless fight
promoters. He had no sooner landed on
this soil when they prounced upon him
like a flock of vulturas on a fat carcass
lie was not long in losing his popularity
and when the name Stacker" was ap-
piled to him his erstwhile friends turned
to scorn. Realizing his position he de-
clared his intention of becoming an
American citizen and enlisted in an
aviation corps. He said that he wanted

Peerless Leader" now with Los Angeles
was once beaned and he was done as a
player for nearly a year. Others could
be mentioned. II is surprising that the
commission did not make that ruling %
years ago.
Carl Mays, pitching for the Red Sox
is the most notorious user of the bean
BALI at the present time. He has felled
many man with it and ii is claimed
that he uses it whenever he gets into a
tight place. Hereafter the commission
says. any pitcher using the ball will be
expelled from organized baseball for a
period of five years.
The Butte baseball park is rapidly be-
ing put into condition for the opening
game next Tuesday. The infield has beer
sodded ana the outfield softened. The
directors and fans are now devoting theil
spare time to praying as they never
prayed before for good weather.

An assistant to Mr.. Buchanan IS to
be employed, so that there will be
someone in the office during the hours
from 8 to noon and l to 5. The office
will be opened before the end Of the
week and the telephone number will
be 1882
A good many members of the assoc
citation thought that the office of the
county agent, being a county and pub

house rather than at the Marshalltown
Club. where headquarters had been
furnished by the latter club.
To Push Labor Campaign.
The campaign to secure farm labor
for farmers of the county, which was
launched Jointly by the Marshalltown
Club and the Farm Improvement Asso-
citation, is now to be taken over entire
ly by County Agent Buchanan. Such
inquiries regarding the movement as
come to the Marshaltown Club will be
turned over TO HiT. Biz tlaIiaii.
BY newspaper publicity. and by in
quiries thru the mails, the campaign
will be pushed to find labor for the
farms and to supply farmers with such
labor A start has already been made,
but it appears evident that the demand
will be greater than the supply.
One young man was placed on
farm Saturday. but there are already
seven calls from farmers who want ex-
perienced help to go to work at once.
Because Of the immediate and press
ing demand for labor on the farm the
campaign is TO be given most OF Mr..
Buchanan's attention for the next few
weeks.

FINAL. EVENT OF DAY
Freeport Leads by Fraction of Point
When Last Race Is CaIIed-Dixon

Relay and MarshaIltown Wins
Smith Is Second in Points Won.

Special 10 Times Republican.
Mount Vernon. May 7.--Marshall-
town put across a typical comeback
here Saturday when the high school
track team won the sixth annual Cor
nell interscholastic meet. The meet
was battle between Marshalltown
and F'reeport, H., from the time Smith
won the hundred for Marshalltown,
with two Freeport men taking second
and third. Counting in the hurdles ana
the shot, F'reeport took the lead away
and held it until the start OF the final
relay, when the count stood 10 for
Marshalltown and 10 la for F'reeport.
The team taking the race would take
the meet and Marshalltown won the
race by ten yards.
Smith, the Marshalltown sprinter,
was one of the stars of the meet, TAX
ing both dashes with ease. Dixon
counted in the hurdles and made the
win possible. when he evened UP the
count with Freeport before the final
relay by winning the broad jump.
Hurlburt gave Hodel battle in the
quarter and finished good second.
Relay Race Deciding Event.
In the final event that won the meet,
MarShalltown drew the pole. Dixon,
leading off. gave good lead to Hurl-
burt, who increased 1t, and by the time
that Willard and Smith did their run
ming the outcome of the race was no
longer in doubt. That none of the men
was loafng is testified by the time Of
1:37 SIS on a day when overcoats were
comfortable.
Rich, Of Maquoketa, took individual
honors, making IA points, with Smith.
of Marshalltown, second, with IL.
Maquoketa followed close on the heels
Of Marshalltown and F'reeport thru the
work of their star. Iowa City. Dubuque
and Wellman were among the other
leaders.
The day was by far too cold for fast
time, and only one Cornell interschol-
astic record was broken, that when
Osborne. of Iowa City. went 10 feet 9
inches in the vault. Twenty schools
were entered in the meet and fifteen
took parts Owing TO the bad weather
and the unsettled national conditions,
the number Of athletes was somewhat
cut down, but the events were all close
and in good time.
