LEFTY CLARK GREETS FRIENDS.

Sergeant-Major Howard B. Clark arrived here this morning from Camp Taylor and will spend a short leave here with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Clark, and possibly with a very dear friend in Chicago. But for his genial way and good humor one would not recognize the former scoop at the Republica noffice. He is much more erect, has taken on a great amount of weight and looks fit to meet Willard in the prize ring or a dozen Huns out in no-man’s-land. He likes soldiering and has made a great record with the Camp Taylor base ball team. He is in a team with some of the big leaguers from all over the country. Like all of the other red-blooded virile American boys he is anxious to get into it over there.
