IT'S SAD BUT TRUE
The Roy Ball Team got a real
trouncing last Sunday afternoon
when they went to Mount Dora
.to clean up on that team, and
when the final, gong sounded, the
score read 8 to 2 with Roy hang
ing on to the 2 end of the score.
The Roy team will soon have
to realize the fact that she can
not pick up a team of unpracti
ced players, and players that ha
ve not played together this sea
son and then run up against real
ball teams and not expect to go
down in defeat. This is just what
he did last Sunday, minus Mc
Cargo, Justice and White, three
good players, she substituted
other players, good players too,
but they had not practiced with
the team and the consequences
were the team went down to de
feat. The peculiarity of Sunday's
.game was that each team got
eight hits but the Mt. Dora team
bunched their hits much better
than Roy and they helped to tell
the terrible tale. And too a num
ber of very costly errors were ma
de by several Roy players which
added to the score reading so
one sided.
Young Berry pitched for Roy
and he pitched fine ball.; Willia
ms was behind the bat and also
did good work but the support
given them both from the infield
and outfield was punk.
The Roy team made the long
trip in three cars. and did not ar
rive at Mt. Dora until 1 o'clock
and all were tired from the long
ride. They reported the roads
rough all the way except the
part on the Clayton-Springer
Highway. The Mt. Dora people
treated the boys fine and the
team of that place is composed
of a good bunch of fellows, our
boys had nothing but words of
praise to offer them for the dan
dy way they were treated while
in the town. They have a strong
team and the support given their
battery was nearly perfect.
In a few weeks the Mt. Dora
team will come to Roy for a re
turn game and our boys expect
to make the story different then.
On next Sunday afternoon the
County Seat boys will come and
cross bats with the local team..
This will be the first game they
have played together this season
and we expect to see a good ga
me of ball. The admission will be
25 cents for Sunday's game. Eve
rybody come out and lets give
the teams a real welcome and
show them that we appreciate
the fact that they are trying to
give us real sport.
Mrs S. N. Page of Wayneville,
Mo. mother of Mrs J.W. Nowlin,

her mother for 18 years until her

A fine meeting is in progress
at the Liberty School house this
week and much good work is
heing done. There will also be
all day services Sunday August
20th, and every is invited to co
me. ROBERTS & OLVER CO.
CHANGES MANAGERSHIP
Shelby Strickland who has been
manager of the Roberts & Olver
Lumber Co., for the past few
years at this place has resigned
his position with this company
and J. K. Drennon of Amarillo
has been appointed manager at
this place. M j
Mr. Drennon comes to this pla
ce well recommended and is a
man with considerable business
experience and will no doubt ma
lte a good manager for the Com
pany's large business. Mr. Dren
non has already brought his fa
mily here consisting of a wife
and a bright son and -daughter
and we are glad to welcome them
as citizens of our little town.
Mr. Strickland is changing lo

business for himself and will
probably locate at Las Vegas,
but just what business he will
enter he has not yet decided
on at present. We are sorry to
lose Mr and Mrs Strickland as
residents of our city, but we wish
them Godspeed where ever they
may decide to locate.

FRANK L. SCHULTZ
ANNOUNCES FOtt TREA
SURER AND COLLECTOR
Editors are like many other
peopie, that is they want to cha
nge their work occasionaly and
sometimes, their position too,
and Frank L. Schultz editor of
this paper is one of the editors
that desires a change so he is
announcing this week fcr the
candidacy on the Republican ti
cket for the office of County
Treasurer and Collector of Har
din County, subject however to
the action of the Republican
Convention.
Yes, Mr Schultz is a Republi
can, has been one all his life and
has been a worker in the party
ever since he came to New Mexi
co many years ago. He has aided
his party financially each cam
paign and has never asked for an
office of any kind since coming
here and he feels that his long
service to the Republican party
entitles him to some recognition
from their hands this fall.
Born in Illinois, in the big ci
ty on the lake some thirty years
ago, Mr. Schultz was active in
politics while located there and
in 1920 he was named as Com
missioner from the eastern dis
trict of Mora County by the Re
publican Party, with out his kno
wledge, for he was not even a
candidate and was not at the
convention. However at that ti
me his business at Roy with the
Spanish American was so heavy
he did not have time to make
the campaign and knowing that
he could not do the party justice
by not making the campaign, he
withdrew from the race, even in
the face of the fact that he was
practically sure of election.
Mr.' Schultz comes from a
good family, is well educated and
fitted is every way to handle the
important office which he seeks.
Like most of the other candida-
la
he is married, has a fine wi-
fe and two dandy little daugh.
ters; He wants the office and is
em-imakinff the ra?,e frnm this fart
lallU not from the reaaon that
friends arg urging hini to try fori
the nomination, altho he has
been promised support from all
parts of the county and will have
many instructed delegates when
the convention meets to name
the candidates this fall.
Mr. Schultz came to New Mex
ico in 1911 and has been in busi
ness in Roy since that time. For
several years he was in the real
estate and loan business and two
years ago he purchased one-hlí
interest in the Spanish Ameri
can Printing Co., (Publishers of
the Spanish American) and has
been editor of this paper , since '
that time, having full chare of
the responsibility of the paper
and we are leaving it to the rea
ders to say whether he has made
a success or failure, anyway he
has doubled the subscription in
two years.
The placing of Mr. Schultz on
the Republican ticket will add
strength to the party in Harding
County and his nomination will
practically mean his election. We
are sure any support given him
will be greatly appreciated not
only by him but by his many
friends in the county.
