A GOAL that has eluded him
~ through the years of an al
~ most matchless rise to fame
4 as the No. ranking duckpin
roller of the United States may be
reached tonight by Aston Clarke, when
the spearhead of the Occidental Res
taurant team strives to gain the lead
ership of the District League at Con-
vention Hall, where one Of the feature
matches of the all-star circuit is
carded. Rose Liquor Store, deadlocked
for second place with the Fred Buch-
holz entry, will supply the opposition.
But to assume the top post OF the
outstanding circuit Clarke must out
roll Ollie Pacini, Northeast Temples
mighty shooter, who will be bending
every effort to hold his 1913 average
as his league-leading Washington
Brewery club clashes with the defend
ing champion, Heurich Brewers, at
pins in front.
This big task of wrestling the high
average honors away from Pacini
comes on the eve of Clarke's 20-game
intercity match with Meyer Jacob
son, the Baltimore star, who will see
action tonight at Georgetown with the
Washington Brewery aggregation. With
interest running high, their rolling
will be watched closely by the fans,
who already are divided in opinion as
to the outcome of the first big-time
head-to-head headliner of the season
The turn in events tonight may
find Lucky Strike riding on top OF
the league should Howard Campbell
and his cohorts revive their heavy
pin-spilling with which they started
of the season. Then again, the
Georgetown opposition that invade
Lucky Strike may prove too tough
for the Luckies.
Having broken into the win column
against Rose Liquor Store last week
after dropping 10 games in a row,
Arcadia has high hopes of carrying
on against the invading Convention
Hallers.

SPLENDID MARK
FOR NAWYA
MACHINIST
"There was not an adverse
mark against his record"

There was not an adverse
mark against his record"
Thus was William r. Adams
Of 140 Twelfth st. N. E., praised
when ceremonies were held the
day he retired from the Washing
ton Navy Yard in 1885.
Since then, two things that he
took away from the yard with him
that day have given him exceed
ing pleasure. One was the thanks
he received for his workmanship
there, and the other, and not by
any means the least important, is
the fishing set with which his TEL
low workmen presented him.
He can tell you where the best
fishing places in this vicinity are
and he is a frequent visitor at
such rendezvous, for that is his
big interest and, as he says, he
fishes as often as possible"
Entering as an apprentice ma
chinist in a Richmond (VaO plant
in 1889, Mr.. Adams, who is now
SO, began his work at the Wash
ington Navy Yard in 1901 and re-
tired in 1885.
At first he worked in the bridge
mechanism shop, where he stayed
until 1912, when the planning oil
vision of the yard was created
Into that division he went special
ling particularly in gun work.
In that division the orders for
guns are perused by the planners,
such as Mr.. Adams was, and 1t IS
I'D to them to estimate the cost OF
the Job, order the materials, issue
orders to the various shops to rem
der such assistance as is neces-
sary to put the job out, and gen.
orally plan the production OF the
things ordered.
His ability at this work won for
him in 1915 the rating of special
skilled machinist, and during his
q years in the work he was sent
to other navy yards throughout
the country several times to make
changes in ordnance work there.
It was a job that required eSpe-
cial accuracy and, from all that
can be learned, Mr.. Adams per-
formed excellently.

but that ''the nation must realize,
despite the retreat of depression,
that America was on the very brink
of chaos in March, 1888, and that
nothing but enlightened leadership

LEVI WASHINGTON WHITLEY

Levi Washington Whitley was
born January Z, 1852 in Alamance
county, N. c. At his death he was 81
year, 2 months, and ~ days old. He
went to Allegheny county when a
young man and spent the remainder
of his life there.
He was the son of Joseph and
Martha Whitley. He joined the Mt.
Zion Methodist Church in 1880
when T. T. Taylor was pastor. He
married twice. He first married Re-
becca Sturgill in 1887. One child
was born to this union, Ernest
Whitley, deceased. In 1891, he mar
ried Sarah Hill. To this union four
children were born: Pearley May
died at the age Of two and one-half
years; surviving are Lula, of Nor
canton; Eddie, of Glendale Springs;
Lemma of Piney Creek. Sarah
Whitley, his wife, died in 1880.
Levi has gone to his final rest. He
has preceded us by few days jour-
ney along the route of the innum-
cradle whose march is ever toward
the setting sun. Well may his chill
dren mourn the loss of such a faith
er and ever keep his image before
them as an example and guide.
He died in the triumph and faith
of the Christian religion and left a
name without reproach as heritage
and honor to his children.
An impressive funeral service
was conducted at Mt. Zion Friday,
March 6, at two o'clock. The service
was conducted by Rev. A. B. Bru-
ton, of Sparta and Rev. j. c. SWAIN,
of Nathans Creek. Flowers were
carried by nieces of the deceased.
The pail bearers were w. r. Jones,

der, j. w. Vanhoy, and Charlie
Black. Written by w. R. Jones.
