FLAGSTAFF DEFEATS WINSLOW

The Winslow Baseball Club Jour-
neyed to Flagstaff last Sunday to play
their second game with the Hill
Climbers, and we regret. to state that
the local pets received the drubbing
of their lives. All the fans were of
the opinion that the game was well
played even though the Winslow
boys made the wonderful aerial fight
in the seventh inning.
The Winslow boys started the trou-
BILE by hitting a triple and home run
in succession which netted them one
run. In the third inning Flagstaff on
couple of scratch hits and tumble
by Melton managed to register three
tallies. Winslow came back with
three runs which made the score to
8. All the time Hitchcock pitching
for Winslow had the enemy well in
hand until the seventh inning Flag
staff was unable to get taste of the
onion. But alas. the fireworks start
ed in the seventh innig and before the
tormentors could be headed off they
had registered nine tallies. At this
time we think it would have been
proper to jerk Hitchcock but this was
not done. The evil was done by the
team back of Charlie. The pitcher
deserves credit for pitching such a
good game for his starter and should
be encouraged to continue on the
mound. During the last two innings
Winslow was unable to do anything
with the Flagstaff hurler. Final score
was IA to 5.
Flagstaff had good representative
crowd out there being over 500 per-
sons to witness the game.
At the present time we are inform
ed that the Needles baseball club
which was to have played at Winslow
the coming Sunday will not be on
hand; therefore we are unable to
state just what team will compete
with the locals. Manager Hixon is
doing his best to get the Flagstaff
city team to play here but in the event
that Flagstaff will not be able to come
the locals may play game with the
Rip Track ball club as an exhibition
game.

MRS. BELLA SECRIST

Few deaths could have brought a
more distinct sense of loss to the en-
tire community than that of Mrs.
Bella Secrist. The host of her friends
land acquaintances were particularly
shocked to receive the sad news on
Wednesday morning as only a few of
them had known of her last illness
which was very brief.
She will be missel especially by the
families who have resided in Winslaw
longest because she was best known
to them. The older members of these
families remember her when she first
appeared in this region as a very
beautiful girl. displaying that person
al charm which but grew stronger as
the years passed and endeared her to
all who had the good fortune to know
her.
Quiet and unassuming in her man
ner. charitable in thought. word and
deed, she won the respect and love
which more demonstrative but less
deep natures often fail to attain Self
forgetfulness was part of her being
and in good or evil fortune she never
dwelt much upon her own interests
in the presence of others. Uncom-
planning and brave as any soldier at
the front. she gave her only son to the
nations service and, through the
lonely days of the war, showed us an
example of the patriotism which has
no buster but means more to nation
in distress than all the lip service of
those who know nothing of real sac
rifice.
Thus she lived true gentlewoman,
best by those whose ac-
quaintance had been longest. So
while the entire community came to
honor her at the funeral service Fri
day morning, the people of longest
residence in Winslow predominated
in the congregation which filled the
Episcopal Church of which she was
loyal and faitful communicate.
A large number of her friends
drove to Holbrook for the final SER
vice of commital and were met there
by large delegation of friends from
that place. All reverently Joined in
fulfilling her desire to have her badly
laid beside that of her child who she1
lost while resident of Holbrook.
The heartfelt sympathy Of the en-
tire county goes out to her son.
Charles, whose burden is unspeakably
heavy in this loss. but who has the
blessed memory of her steadfastness
in every trial to help sustain him.

GOOD ROADS ASSURED NAVAJO
COUNTY-BONDS CARRY WITH
BIG MAJORITY

The good roads bond election which
took place throughout Navajo County
last Saturday shows conclusively that
the people in this county are well a.
ware of the vast benefits which is Sc

approximately two to one will enable
us to have about 100000 available to
build. good roads and to put some
work on the present roads before they
are practically gone.

the town of Winslow owns the gas
plant or private parties. but the peo-
pie of Winslow must clearly under

it at a loss as the present Company
has been doing.

REASON FOR HIGH GAS

The Arizona market for gasoline is
normally supplied from California
but the acute shortage of gasoline in
California has made it impossible to
continue the supply from that point
Our stations in Arizona are now be-
ing supplied with gasoline purchased

new price in effect is based on the
higher cost of the product
