Yesterdays Ball Game

The ball game yesterday be-
tween the Anthony nine (by the
way, mostly young mcn) and the
Ocala Juniors began flvOrLbly,
at 3 p. M, and promised to be Il
very lively one. The Anthony
team was getting the better of
the Ocala Juniors, who were very
much smaller and Younger. San
ford Jcwett was put in to pitch,
and the Anthony boys objected,
knowing the difficulty OF hitting
his balls, and refused to play.
The game broke up in d hilarl-
Gus condition and was given to
Ocala. Our boys regretted the
hard feelings but could not rcm-
cdy the trouble.

The readers Of this paper Will
be pleased to learn that there is
at least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
allNts stages, and that Is Ca
tarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known
to the medical fraternity. Ca
tarrh, being a constitutional dis
ease, requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting
directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby
destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the con-
stltution and assisting nature IN
doing it's work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative
powers that they offer One Hun
dred Dollars for any case that 1t
fails to cure. Send for list of tes-

SPEEDWAY REGULATIONS.

The ATTEMPT Of n small number of wheellnen
OF the class who think that other men have no
rights that Il wheelman Is bound to respect 10
divert the Harlem River Speedway from Its
original and proper use should be promptly as
cournced by the much larger class OF reasonable
bicycle riders Just why the Speedway should
DO thrown open TO bicycles 1t is Impossible 10
imagine. Anybody who remembers the origin or
the movement for the Speedway knows eXacty
why it was built An unfaithful Park Commits
sion was preparing TO cut road through zen
trail Park for fast driving. and was only pre-
rented from carrying out Its plan by an out
burst of public Indignation. After the Park had
been saved by general agreement the buildinS
of the Speedway was undertaken to provide
place on which the many horse-owners IN inc
city might have n chance to drive. free from the
necessary restrictions of a crowded park
1t is possible that the expenditure for this
purpose was out Of all proportion to the num-
her Of people benefited. But there can be no
question of the propriety of settling apart GER
tain spaces for particular kinds of sport 1t Is
no more outrageous TO keep wheelmen and cart
men off road reserved for light driving than
It is to keep carriages off a bride path or bl-
cycle track or to keep ceboats off the skating
pond or n quot player Off the tennis courts.
The cyclist should be the last person 10 make
an outcry against exclusive privilege of the
sort involved He has his cycle paths on which
nobody else is allowed and he IS always ask
ing for more He complains that streets filled
with other vehicles are not suited to his wants,
and wherever possible secures n way exclu-
slvcly his own. 1t happens that the horse
owner has similar views about the Incompatible
ty of horses and bicycles, and so has secured
stretch of road, the only one In the neighbOr-
as the wheelman on the cycle path Is free from
him.
The Speedway should continue to be reserved
for driving. Not that 1t must necessarily be
converted into a racetrack 1t is possible that
the rules which the Park Beard has an I'M
doubted right to make narrow the usefulness
Of the Speedway unreasonably. There are com
plants that ordinary pleasure driving IS not safe
there. Certainly this great work of enormous
public expense should not be given over to the
domination OF a few racing men, and made
dangerous for all who want a comfortable pleas
ure drive There is n golden mean in all such
regulations 1t IS proper to keep drays and
delivery wagons off tho road. and no legislation
should be permitted to convert il into n mere
public street. We are not prepared to say that
cabs would not interfere with tho enjoyment Of
the road as a true driveway. But the racing
men have no right to nsk the city to furnish
them a private racetrack.
