AN IDEAL CONVENTION CITY

AS a stranger and as a visitor to
many states and conventions of a
similar character, I am proud to say
that the delegates to the S. S. conven-
ton in Ocala have been more ropally
entertained and courteously treated
by the people of this thriving little
city than it has been my privilege to
know elsewhere. 1 may add that these
words express the sentiments Of Mrs.
Bryner, the international Sunday
school worker, with whom l have met
at many other Sunday school conven-
tons.
The public spirit of Ocala is shown
by it's beautiful clean streets, neat and
attractive houses and by it's splendid
and up-tO-date newspapers, as Well as

than the present incumbent.

PART OF SALARY
MUST GO IN BANK

President AL w. Lawson has pro-
mulgated the first players contract Of
the new Union League for the season
of 1908. The player to enjoy that dis
tinction is A. S. Landgraff. who has
been signed by the Reading club to
play third base
A perusal of the new Union League
players contract discloses two new
features which differ from the Ma
tional Association contracts. First the
reserve rule has been entirely elimi-
mated. and second. a clause has been
inserted to the effect that twenty-five
per cent. Of the players salary Is to
be withheld each pay day and depos-
ited in the bank in trust until the close
of the season. when it viii be delivered
to the player on condition that he mas
not played with any other club but
the one employing him in the Union
League during that year.
The reason for this clause is obvious.
1t is intended to be a safeguard against
dishonest players jumping their con-
tracts during the playing season, and
in reality it is the only safeguard the
Union League has against contract
jumping.

THINKS THE GAME
OUTLOOK GOOD

GEORGETOWN, Del, Jan. 2-The gum
ming season on rabbits and quail went
out Tuesday and the Delaware gunner
viii now hang up his gun until the hf-
teenth Of next November, after one OF the
most successful seasons that this section
has seen for years. Thousands OF birds
and rabbits have been lx7-;e1 IN the last
month and a half with plenty left for
breeding purposes for the coming season.
George Short, of shortley, one Of the
most prominent woodsmen and gunners in
Sussex, stated to-day that the season was
far above any he had ever witnessed.
''Never before" he said, "has game
been so plentiful, and it viii be even more
plentiful next year. Every one has gotten
plenty Of game, but stiI there are plenty
left on account of the warm weather we
had. Quail kept mostly in the woods and
few went out in the fields except early In
the morning or at sundown. as a result
many are left to propagate next year. A
walk in the woods viii show many coveys
which have not been touched by a gun,
this year. We win see the next season to
be one Of the greatest ever known"

GOOD BOXING
AT The SPRINGS

A large crowd witnessed the boxing
bouts of the Delaware Athletic Club at
Brandywine Springs last night. A good
program was presented and the large at
tendance showed the popularity Of the
reduced prices. The six round bouts are
popular by the management
and it viii probably book more six
round fighters and have the ten-round
bout for the wind-up.
Joe Theel Of Philadelphia, and Percy
Cove, Of Seattle, Washington fought a
hard battle in the ten-round windup last
night. Tan and slim. Cove was probably
lighter than Theel, but he had a long
reach and put force behind his jolts.
Theel forced the fighting but showed
that he lacked the strength for a knock
out blow
Cove showed a surprising ability to
take punishment. He used wicked right
hand upper-cut, which he began to land
after the sixth round.
The men were wrestling near the ropes
In the ninth round. when Cove fell
through them. In the seventh round they
were tied up when Cove threw Theel to
the floor, but the fight was resumed as
heartily as before and II decision had
been made the result could only have
been draw.
Jerry Fox, Of Philadelphia, and Charlie
Harvey. of Chicago, fought the semi
wind-up Of six rounds. The bout was
swift and had plenty of action. Harvey
was fast on his feet and was probably
saved from a knockout thereby. Fox had
a vicious swing, but It always landed on
the atmosphere when Harvey saw It COM
ing. In the last two rounds Fox began to
fag and the sound OF the gong at the end
of the sixth round was his salvation.
Johnny Johnson, Of Southwark and Joe
Sullivan, Of Baltimore, put up a fast six
round preliminary. Sullivan forced the
fighting for three rounds. After that
Johnson assumed the aggressive and had
his man at his mercy in the sixth.
The next bout at the Springs will prob
ably take place next Wednesday night.

The festivities began on Monday Of
last week by a party given to the Busy

Then Santa kept the ball rolling from
day TO day until each OF the clubs had
its share Of the fun. OF course the
main feature was his actual appear

was uproariously greeted by at least
20 little folks. Henry Candy, as Santa

TRENTON AFTER
A NEW FRANCHISE

The talk of Trenton taking Montre-
ais place in the Eastern League next
year viii not down. President Powers
of the Eastern League has repeatedly
declared he is not in a position to say
anything on the matter. Despite this
assertion, it is the general impression
in baseball circles that there is some
quiet work going on in the "inside" to
bring this change about. According
to baseball law It is hard to see where
the Eastern League can take Trenton
away from the Tri-State League. From
a money-making standpoint Trenton
was the only "KlondilSe" in the Iris
State circuit last season, and for this
reason the Tri-State magnates at a re-
cent meeting refused to accede TO the
request of the Trenton owners to with
draw from the organization.
