ARLO BOX TEAM
V|CTORS AGAIN
In Pitchers Battle, 1t Won from the
Lindsay All Stars Saturday
Afternoon

The fast Arlo Box Company team
won phe second game of a three-game
series from the Lindsay AlI-Stars
Saturday afternoon at Oak. The game
was regular pitchers battle Neither
team would have scored run but for
the many costly errors of the after
moons fun. Both teams were bad on
their fielding with the Arlo team
worse than the visitors. The Crazy
Kat, pitching for the Lindsay nine,
was going strong although he was a
little wild at times. The spectators
blamed most of the kitty's wildness to
the fact that his catcher was not able
to hold his hooks. If there was any
one shining star in that game Strick-
land was that planet. Talk about
your baseball, that boy was there
with the goods Saturday afternoon
He was playing third base. Next thing
you know he VIII be catching, but
his fancy playing was not on the
third sack. In .fkct, he dropped a
thrown ball there that ought to have
been an out but we viii forgive him
for that Just listen to what he did.
Arlo made three runs. Strickland
made two of them in his own name
and ran for Pierce and scored the
other one. Arlo got two hits. Strick-
land got them both. Arlo had FIVE
stolen bases to her credit Strickland
took credit for all five of them. One
of the stolen bases was the home plate
for run. He really took three other
bases but since the basemen dropped
the ball they got errors for the play
and Strickland did not get credit for
stealing. First thing we know some
is going to swear out warrant for
Strick for grand larceny. He used his
head to great advantage in his base
running Saturday. Pierce. pitching
for Arlo, only let up hree hits and
they were all easy ones. An in all,
the game was regular bout between
pitchers.

BARBER BILLY HAS BEEN
GIVEN THE BOUNCE

The friends of William Whisenant,
better known as BARBER Billy" who
has slipped thru the fingers of the law
so many times that ne probably al
most considered himself a privileged
criminal, viii be grieved to know that
there is clear charges on the books
against him, and the only. reason he
isn't in jail is that he ran AWAY while
his wife was exerting all her strength
to obstruct for a minute a pursuing
officer.
Early Sunday morning, while Sher-
iff Thomas slept, little bird hoped
on his windowsiIl and sang a tiny
song to the effect that Barber Billy
had booze in his house. The sheriff
stepped lively and in few minutes
had procured a warrant and was on
his way. Arriving at Whisenant's s
house, he took that gentleman by sur
prise, and also took from its hiding
place a little brown jug, more than
half full of the juice that cheers-too
much. Seeing that he was caught
with the goods on, Whisenant made u
bolt for liberty. The sheriff was ex-
pecting that and was right after him,
and would have. caught him if he
hadn't been caught from behind by
Whisenant's wife. Of course, the
sheriff couldn't strike the woman, and
in the few seconds it took to break
loose from her clutches, Billy obtained
a lead which gave him at least tenn
porary liberty.
There is a warrant out for@Billy, a
jug of liquor at headquarters and
some other evidence that we won't
name. The sheriff will probably land
him one of these days, and even if he
doesn't, he has done the town a serv-
ice by running him out. The officers
would have had Barber Billy" on the
roads long ago if the man had not
been shielded by the element that his
peculiar talents were of use to.

FUNERAL SERVICES FOR
LIEUT.. WILLARD S. CLARK

The last sad respects were paid, at
DeLand Friday afternoon, to Lieut..
Willard S. Clark, the brave young
aviator, dashed to his death at Elling-
ton Field, Texas, one day last week,
and who only two years ago be-
came the husband of Miss Irene
Campbell, one of DeLand's brightest
and best-beloved young ladies, who
has many friends in this city.
Lieut.. Clark was from Abingdon,
ILL., He volunteered at the beginning
of the war, chose the air service and
was sent to Carlstrofn field, near Ar
cadia, where ne trained to high pro-
ficiency, and was on the point of being
sent overseas when the aImistice was
signed. At his own wish, and because
of his efficiency, he remained in the
service. He met Miss Campbell while
on an exhibition flight to Daytona
Beach. They were the contracting
parties at wedding in DeLand two
years ago. Lieutenant Clark was
transferred recently to Kelly Field,
near San Antonio. Later, he was
transferred to Ellington Field, near
Houston. He was in charge of the
oath Squadron, First Pursuit Group.
His wife was with him and he had
left her but an hour or two when his
ship, the 0ronoco, crashed to earth
at 10:30 a. M. Tuesday, July IS.
Something went wrong when he was
twenty-five hundred feet up. and<it is
evident that he kept his head and
worked necessarily to bring his fall
ing ship to a level again. He could
be seen working by his comrades be-
low, and they are all sure that had he
another hundred feet of space he
would have made safe landing. He
had a swift and merciful death
struck in the back of his head, he
probably lived only a second after the
plane crashed
Sadness for death of the brave
young soldier and sympathy for his
girl-wife pervaded the field and spread
out thru many channels to all who
knew both, and while the men paid
the last services to their comrade,
the wives and mothers gathered to
give what comfort they could to the
new-made widow.
Mrs. Clark's thoughts turned at
once to home and mother, and with
them the desire to bring her husbands S
body to her girlhood home In this
sorrowful task she was aided IN every
possible way Mrs. Cook. wife of the
commanding officer at Ellington Field,
and Lieut. Cambliss, one of her hus-
bands comrades. accompanied her
home. The sorrowful little party was
joined at Jacksonville by Mrs. Clark's
brother, Charles Campbell Jr.
All DeLand and many of other
places were present at the funeral
{ services. Members of the legion
posts of DeLand and Daytona and the
Sanford Home Guard, with brother
officers from Carlstrom field, repre-
sented the military part of the funer-
al. The floral offerings filed entire
rooms. probably the most beautiful
being an airplane wing from Carl
strom, the wing formed of white flow,
ers with Lieut.. Clark's name worked
in blue blossoms in the center.
The services were conducted bs
