ANTHONY AND CITRA CROSSED
BATS SATURDAY AFTERNOON

Citra put the skids under the An
thony team in the eighth and ninth
innings Saturday afternoon and won
by score of 5 to 2. The first eight
innings of the game were as close and
good as big league stuff, but Strick-
land, pitching for Anthony, weakened
in the eighth and the Citra BOYS
romped on him for five hits and five
runs in those two unlucky innings.
The game was a fast one featured
with few hits or errors and boasting
three double plays. Harold Smith hit
long drive to center field that would
have been good for three bases for
mo tsany player, but Harold was 50
fast on his feet that he stretched it
to a home run. Williams of Citra
drove long one for three bases but
failed to touch second and was called
out, so only got credit for a single.
Connell, 15-year-old boy, got clean
three-bagger. The boys plays jam-up
shortstop and in the course of year
or so to mature him, will make a
great ball player. He is a son Of
Uncle Bob Connell, who umpires ball
games for US all over the county.
An unusual play occurred in the
first inning. Dutton came to bat and
hit Texas leagues over the second
sack that the center fielder for Citra
handled on the first hop and threw so
quickly to first that Dunton was
caught out OH what IN almost every
case is safe hit. Quite often so ap-
parently safe hit to right field is
fielded and the runner caught at first
but it is an unusual thing to see the
play made from center field.

SERVICE OF SUPPLY
WILL CELEBRATE

If it is humanity possible Major
General H. L. Rogers, the quarter
master general of the army, will get
together in the larger centers thruout
the United States all the $500 officers
of the quartermaster reserve corps on
June 16 next to celebrate the 146th
anniversary of the birthday of the
corps. Invitations are going out to
them from Washington for series
of birthday dinners which viii stretch
around the globe from Coblenz to
China, in honor of the event.
During the war $1,000 civilians
were commissioned as officers in the
quartermaster corps, of whom nearly
go per cent joined the reserve on their
discharge. As a rule they were the
younger business men of the country,
and heads of departments in large
firms and factories. The army pro-
poses to keep them in touch with mil
itary affairs by including them in all
its gatherings and Publications.
Every large city in the United
States will have dinner of its own.
and there is regular or reserve Of
ficer in each place in charge of get
ting together the reesrvists. Mes
sages by cable, wire and radio viii be
exchanged among the diners, and
General ROGERS address will be read
wherever his former officers gather.
1--WE sincerely hope" said General
Rogers, "that as many quartermaster
reserve officers as possible in all parts
of the country will attend these ami
versary dinners, and we want them tc
wear the uniform of their reserve
grade. Each officer should select the
most convenient place near his home
and get in touch with the person whc
is arranging the celebration"

BRITISH WILL DEMAND
STACKER BERGDOLL
Canadian Veterans Join the American
Legion in Trying to Round
Up the Coward
New York Tribunel

Washington, June 4.-The eventual
returh to this country of G. c. Berg
doll, the Philadelphia fugitive draft
dodger, to serve out the balance of his
term as military prisoner, is ex-
pected by the war department to be
accompanied through the British gov
ernment.
Information has reached this gov
ernment that the London foreign Of
flee has interested itself in the Berg
doll case, and it is likely that his ex-
tradition from Germany to British
territory, and thence to Canada may
be accomplished through negotiations
that are now understood to be under
way. Once in Canada it is believed
that it would not be difficult to have
Beigdoll sent across the border and
into the hands of army officials.
The negotiations under way with
the British government to obtain ex-
tradition, on the grounds of abusing
passport privileges. were initiated
several weeks ago. The American
Legion has co-operated IN this move
ment by enlisting the aid of the Vet
erans' Organization in Canada, which
in turn pressed the dominion govern
ment to intervene. A communication
from the Canadian veterans May %
said: 1T is not yet clear what action
can be taken through the Canadian
government, but if we can be of any
service to you our cooperation may
be relied upon"
General Peyton C. Marsh, former
! chief of staff, divulged to the con,
gressional committee investigating
Bergdoll's escape, May 8. the diplo-
matte steps being taken to obtain
Bergdoll's extradition. He said ths
government had decided 'to get Berg
doll at any price" 1t was brought ont
that if the negotiations through Great
Britain were unavailing the Stacker!
/ extradition would be demanded by tn,
United States direct as soon as peac,
has been declared with Germany.

tAssoclated Press,

Pueblo, June 6.-Ilood stricken
central Colorado today surveys the
havoc of the most disastrous food in
the history of the west. An accurate
estimate of the loss of life and prop
erty damage is impossible at this
time. With the morgues crowded to
overfiowing, the hospitals turning pa
xAtients over to improvised relief sta
tions and thousands of homeless or
suffering from exposure, every effort
is being directed toward the alleyia-
ton of suffering.
Restoration of the city to even the
approach of normal conditions is a
matter of weeks The levees must be
repaired before the business section
can be cleared of water.
The number of persons in hospitals
was placed at 500 by j. F. Moorehead,
secretary to Governor Shoup. Ty-
phoid fever, pneumonia, dipththeria
and one or two cases of insanity were
found among the patients.
Floods of lesser magniture were
reported today by several towns in
Kansas. ALI are along the course of
the Arkansas river, which overfowed
it's banks here.

ported the Santa Fe railroad shops at
