forfeited to Odessa in the last
half of the ninth inning with the
score 8 to 2 in favor Of Lexing-

up for Odessa, hit to Lineback
who dropped the ball, but re-
covered it in time to catch the
runner good six feet from the
bag. The jumps called him safe.
The decision was so unfair and
so openly bold that the local
boys left the field.
The Athletics scored one run
in the opening inning, and in
their half of the ninth put two
across. Odessa scored one each
in the third and fourth. In the
ninth the jumps decided that il
the game was to be won, he
must get busy. He did.

Our Boys.
(Contributed)

1t is two years since every
true, red-blooded American re-
sponded heartily and earnestly
to the call of his country.
Every church in Lexington
had an honor roll and every roll
shows the golden star, the EN-
blem of the supreme sacrifice.
So many homes in Lafayette
county are sad to-day-so many
in Lexington are sad, because
the boy who went so bravely
forth to do his duty now lies in
Flanders Fields.
What a glorious tribute we
could pay to those who staid
"over there" and to those who
were permitted to return by con-
verting the building so long
known as the "Gem" into the
jewel a public library would be
in our midstl
The inscription ITO the Mem
ory of Our Ress.v would blaS'

tire community would benefit
therefrom.
