Youth Is Killed
When Struck Bv
Engine at Miami

MIAMI - Lyle Gould, II years
old, son of Mr.. and Mrs. c. E. Gould
of a Miami residential suburb, was
killed instantly when an Inspira-
tion Copper company switch engine
struck him as he was walking on
the tracks at Marion Flat at 2:3O
o'clock Sunday afternoon.
Members of the switch engine
crew said they saw young Gould
on the tracks while the engine was
$50 feet away from him. They said
he failed to heed whistle and bell
signals. The enginemen said they
thought the young man would
leave the tracks and the engine
continued on until it was too late
to stop it after it was apparent that
Gould would be struck.
The body was badly mangled.
The engine was brought to a stop
short distance from the spot
where the youth was struck.

TO HIS DEATH

PRESCOTT - Elmer Brady May,
the seven-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. A. May, of Perkinsville, was
instantly killed Saturday morning
when he slipped through a Santa
Fe trestle near his home, falling
about 20 feet to the boulders in the
wash below.
The child, with his 11-year-old
brother, William Franklin May, had
been fishing near the May home
and was returning about o'clock
in the morning when the accident
occurred. He was out of his broth
er's reach when he slipped and had
fallen through the trestle before
the older boy could save him. His
death was instantaneous, his head
being crushed on the rocks.

Winslow Merchants
Extend Win Streak
Beat McNary 11-6
Bv CLYDE MATTHIE

The Winslow Merchants Travelled
to McNary last Sunday and extend
ed their winning streak to eight
games by defeating the McNary
Quality Stars by a score of IL to +.
Parks, for the Merchants, pitched
another of his fine games, allowing
9 hits which were scattered thru
the 9 innings. He had the heavy
hitters from the lumber camp eat
ing out of his hand, and was in
trouble only twice during the game.
Clark, Vallier and Reynolds con-
tinued their heavy work with the
bat, each one gathering in three
hits out of five trips to the rubber.
VaIlier connected for two doubles
and triple.
The three Merchant outfielders
played a splendid game, handling
eight chances without an error,
Clark and Leroy making sensation
al catches. Leroy doubled run
ner off first after making a hard
catch in the last inning. Clark cut
a runner off at home plate by q
wonderful throw to Snyder on third
who relayed the ball to Reynolds.
The infield was working fine
and gave Parks excellent support
throughout the game, making one
double play, Thomas to Waller to
Matthie. Only three errors were
made, and one of these gave Nc
Nary score, the runner sliding
into Reynolds at the plate, kicking
the ball and glove out of his hands.
A large crowd was on hand to
give their support to the McNary
team, and the main topic of con-
versation among the Merchants on
the way home was why we could
not have the same crowds out when
we play at home. Winslow has
been having a good brand of base
ball this year, in fact better than
it has had for some years, and a
little support would help the boys,
and keep their interest up.
McNary and WinsloW are going
to play again and the Merchants
would like to see a good crowd out
at the game played at Winslow.
Let's go and support a team that
is winning ball games.

GIBSON MINERS
SCORED DEFEAT
OVER REDSKINS
By CHARLES ERICKSON

After being idle since the 9th of
June on account of inclement
weather conditions and the cancel
ing of a couple of matches" by
their rivals, the WinsIow Redskins
baseball aggregation crossed bats
with the fast nine from the mining
town of Gibson, N. NJ, at the city
park last Sunday and when the
dust had cleared away the score
stood IA to one dozen in behalf of
the visitors.
Although the score would indi-
cate that the exhibition was a poor
one it was, in reality, one of the
most "actionified" games played
this season and kept the small
crowd of fans in a state of keenly
high pitched excitement. First one
team would forge ahead and then
the other.
The miners engineered four runs
across home plate during their
turn at bat in the very first inning
via four clean singles and a double
allowed by pitcher Mariana. But
in the second frame the Redskins
jubped to the lead by collecting
