 Billy Barnes haiIs from Nokomis. III. He is 21 years old. weighs 1a0 pounds and has the broad shoulders that should go with said weight. His work with an independent team last year drew attention. Pitching for Herrin, ILL, he hung up a. one-hit game and com piled an enviabIe list of strikeouts. Thirty-eight strikeouts in an 1s-inning battle is one feat cred ited to him.
 Barnes received a tryout with Ok mulgee back in 1920 and is credited with defeating the White Sox in an exhibition tilt that spring. Which may or may not mean anything.

Of course, they'll think we are both killed If they don't find us by removing few stones. they will take it for granted we're buried deep under the big ones. and let us stay it would be too much bother to remove them" Darn that big goat.' said Tom.

police have been unable to locate any
trace of him, although his photograph

cities.

tion and carried away the complete
Office outfit, including its files and
other valuable documents, among

Harris defense is that Sperry, as
head of the organization, owed her,
for services as stenographer, $92;
that she acted on advice of counsel
under the belief that Sperry had
abandoned the outfit and that she
openly sold the stuff to a junkman,

connection. it is said.
