SPORTS NEWS
{By Moulton Cobb)
The Lampasas soft ball league
first half of the season will come to
a close next week, according to sched-
ule. Then the teams will start over
with a clean slate.
FOUR APPLICATIONS
FOR PUBLIC WORKS
PROJECTS ACCEPTED
AARON WALDERON DIED
WEDNESDAY EVENING
A group of women played soft ball
for awhile last night. Soft ball real-
ly started out as a girl’s game but
got a little too tame for them and
then the men took it up.
Buck Hetherly suggests that gloves
be used in the Lampasas soft ball.
That certainly would improve the
fielding of the teams. At present
only the catcher and first baseman
use gloves.
The Public Utiliey team says they
are going to beat the Firemen to-
night. The Firemen have been winn-
ing with monotonous regularity and
have the first half practically sewed
up.
Rev. Wentworth Riemann got back
today from Houston and is resting
up some today in order to be in good
Bhape for tonight’s struggle.
Fred Marberry of Streetman, Tex.,
won his ninth game of the season
yesterday for Detroit, giving him
more victories than any other big
game hurler. Fred used to be a re-
lief hurler altogether, but Manager
Bucky Harris has been using him as
a starter.
Four of the eight projects present-
ed to the Texas Rehabilitation and
Relief Commission Wednesday by a
committee from the Chamber of Com-
merce were accepted for further con-
sideration. These projects were, fair
ground improvements, building a new
school gymnasium, building a hos-
pital and improvement of city water
works and filtration plant.
The committee or a part of it will
return to Austin Friday to present
preliminary sketch of these projects
to an architect so that he may be
working on the plans. An architect
will be in Lampasas Monday to be-
gin work on the plans. AftSr the
plans have been completed, they will
be sent to Austin for approval, and
if approved they will be sent to Wash-
ington for approval of the federal
officials. We are not sure of getting
all or any particular one of our proj-
ects approved, but we are practical-
ly certain of getting at least one of
them approved.
The Chamber of Commerce com-
mittee requests that everyone co-
operate with them in working for
these projects. Cooperation is what
it is going to take to get these im-
provements for our town, and every-
one should do his part to help the
cause.

sters. The fans had rather see an
older fellow make an error than a
youngster a star play.
Mayor John Abney once pitched
against the Boston Red Sox for A. &
M. College and was defeated by only
8 to 0. He also pitched a game
against Detroit with Ty Cobb and
Sam Crawford in the line-up, but
these boys hit his offerings to the
far corners. In the college season
the Lampasas mayor won two of his
first three starts when he hurt his
arm and was laid low. He later
tried to become a southpaw hurler
and then hurt his left arm.
The Dallas Steers continue to play
good ball for their manager, Fred
Brainerd. This is one time a change
of managers really helped.

Voyd Harwell, Mrs. Harden Har-
well and little daughter, Martha, and
Mrs. Cecil Yeager and son Bill, came
in Wednesday from Brownwood for
a short stay with Mr. and Mrs. Tom
Harwell. They, together with Mrs.
Tom Harwell and Mrs. Harden Har-
well’s son Joe Davis, left Thursday
morning for a fishing trip to Teague
Hole on the White ranch.
Aaron Walderon died at 6:10 o’clock
Wednesday evening, June 14, at his
home in the Rugeley apartment house
after an illness of two weeks. Fun-
eral services will be conducted by
Rev. Walter Everett of Burnet at
10 o’clock Friday morning at the
Dobyvilie cemetery, and interment
will follow immediately.
Mr. Walderon is survived by three
sons, I. T. Walderon of Lampasas,
George B. Walderon of St. P!aul,
Minn., and Joe Walderon of Sunset,
Arizona; by four daughters, Mrs. J.
R. Wooldridge of Sunset, Ariz., Mrs.
W. J. Jones of Seymour, Mrs. S. O.
Jarvis of Lampasas, and Mrs. N. Oli-
ver Cox of Bertram; and by three
brothers, Jason Walderon of West
Allis, Wis., Will Walderon of Mil-
waukee, Wis., and Ben Walderon of
Los Angeles, Calif. Mrs. Jarvis, Mrs.
Cox and I. T. Walderon were the only
children with him when he died, and
may be the only ones who will be
able to attend the funeral. Mr. Wal-
deron did not notify any of his rela-
tives of his illness until the day be-
fore his death.
Aaron Walderon was born in Ra-
cine, Wis., on December 26, 1847.
He came to Texas as a young man
and settled on the Colorado river,
near Tow Valley. On November 11,
1874, just before coming to Burnet
County, he was married to Mi3s Mary
E. Lowry in Denton County, Texas.
To this union were born eleven child-
ren, seven of whom are still living.
Mrs. Walderon 'died on September
7, 1917.
From Tow Valley, Mr. Walderon
moved to the Dobyvilie community
where he lived for over 30 years. In
1920 he came to Lampasas to live.
Part of that time he has spent visit-
ing his daughters, Mrs. Jarvis and
Mrs. Cox.
Uncle Aaron was a familiar sight
in Lampasas. He always had a cheer-
ful greeting for ail and was known
and liked by everyone; His passing
is a sad event for a countless num-
ber of friends as well as for his lov-
ed ones. The Leader extends a word
of sympathy to the bereaved child-
ren and brothers.

METHODIST GLEE CLUB OR-
CHESTRA WELL RECEIVED
A crowded house welcomed the
Methodist Glee Club and Orchestra
of the Methodist Orphanage at Waco
here Wednesday night. Everyone
was enthusiastic in their approval of
the program presented by the visit-
ors.
The program was made up of read-
ings, quartets, solos and orchestra
numbers. The whole group was full
of pep and enthusiasm and expres-
sed that feeling through their music.
The large free will offering made
to the musicians is another good evi-
dence of approval by the audience.
