The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1895-08-12

Jacksonville seems te be some
what stirred up over the Sunday
saloon ordinance. The leader of
the anti-saloon men IS one of the
councilmen, who declares he is GO
ing to fight the non-enforcement
of the law to the last ditch. He
will be reinforced by almost every
minister in the city. The battle
promises to be a.hot one. We sim
-cerely hope the defenders of the
ordinance will come out victorious.

CATHOLICS SPEAK.

The Catholic Total Abstinence
Union of America convened at
Columbus Hall, New York, Aug.
2, and continued in session three
days.
Among the prominent speakers
were Archbishop Ryan and ].
Washington League, of Philadel-
phia, and President Glory.
It was recommended that the
lecturing system be extended as
much as possible; that temper
-ance literature be disseminated in
every place, and that total absti-
nence societies be started in every
parish.
To show the trend of the
speeches, we quote from one
speaker as follows:
cit is not the sin of drunkenness
alone that our grand organization
is prepared to combat Our far
reaching purpose is to aid in cor
recting the foolish drinking Gus
toms of society, to make the prac-
tice of total abstinece popular, and
TO brand with odium the indefen-
-sible and dangerous social customs
that are a stumbling block to the
weak and temptation to all.
There can be no aff1liation be-
tween the church and the saloon.
The church will not and cannot
permit that the drinking den shall
flourish beneath the shadow of the
,consecrated house of prayer"
The following resolutions were
adopted among others:
Resolved, That we urge every
where, by votes and influence, the
enactment of such laws as the
screen law the single entrance
law, and all laws which may in
any way help towards the strict
enforcement of the present excise
laws.
Resolved, That we cooperate
with our non-Catholic fellow-citi-
zens in every legitimate effort to
restrict the evils of intemperance.
Resolved, That we urge the
formation of total abstinence soci-
aties among women, girls and
boys, and we urge mems societies
TO give them every encouragement
in their power.

JACK coRBEr ON RuslE.
The Portland Baseman Turns to Days of
Old When Mighty Amos Started Out
"Duke'' KiIfedder Signs With Pawtucket.

''Well. this is about the most lonesome
remarked Jack Corbett, Wednesday morn
ing. The second baseman calls Louis
vile, KY, his home. but for the last three
years he has not shifted any of the Blue
Grass atmosphere.
He came east in the summer of 1913 to
accept an engagement with Brookton,
and in that CITY since then he has been
spending the most of his time Last
winter Jack conducted successful bust
ness in billiald hall as proprietor of
old Billy McGunnigle's hamlet, but this
present season has been so dull IN that
region that "Pompadour Jim" did not
care to tempt fortune and again set up
stock in trade.
Heshas consequently been. onsthe retired
list since the close of the season and has
run down toPortland to meet old friends.
Corbett is veteran player and one
well and popularity known in nearly all
sections of the land. Among his nota-
BILE engagements was that when he was
with the Burlington, nine of the Yves.
tern Association in the summer of 'S9.
He was the captain of that aggregation
and its most interesting to hear him re-
late the deeds of those days when big
Amos Rusie, raw and green, was farmed
out to the Burlingtons by the Minneapo-
lis leaguers.
ST picked Amos as a star from the
START stated Jack, as he picked over a
chop in Sullivan's the other night.
'tRusie was big strapping fellow and
had even greater amount of speed then
than he ever has SINCE and all the world
knows how much he has now. Well, he
began doing phenomenal pitching for US
right along, letting dow the opposing
clubs to two and three hits in game. I
used to encourage the youngster-he was
only IS years old then-and would often
say to him, you are all grit Amos, and
will before long be in it with the best of
them.' Sure enough he was, Tor In few
weeks, Indianapolis called him back.
They only let him out so that he could
get control of his wildness. He over
came this in minor league so that he
was competent to hold up his end in fast
company. Amos is certainly beauty,
and since 1890 has been in class all by
himself as tho worlds greatest pitcher.
My, but can't he shoot those balls in !!
And then that tremendous out curve
The ball comes up to you on bee line
