The Petition

Ocala, Fla. Feb. eth, 1908.
John Young, Esq, Supt. Construction
Government Building, Ocala, Fla:
We. the undersigned citizens of
pOcala and having no pecuniary or
property interest that would be direct
ly affected by the particular location
of the government building on the lot
or block now owned by the United
States Government. in the city of
Ocala, respectfully and earnestly urge
that he said building be placed at or
near the center of the block Of land
owned by the government.
list. Because the lot slopes in each
direction from the center, and is ap-
parently the natural position for such
a building as it contemplated.
I'd. The entire block was acquired
by the government for the erection
thereon of a postOffice, United States
courtroom and other offices incident
TO government purposes, and unless
the building is located at or near the
center large portion of said lot
would be of but little practical benefit
VI advantage dS~SOEcTnIlleUt property
in connection with the government
building to be erected thereon.
Sd. Because such central location
would relieve the court when in ses-
sion from the noise and interference
naturally incident to travel on the
public streets.
4th. Because such location would
add greatly to the appearance, beauty
and effect of the building.
The foregoing are simply a few of
the reasons which naturally suggest
the center of the lot as the proper site
for the building, and we trust that
you, as the superintendent of con-
struction, may favorably consider this
petition, and take such action thereon
by reference to the proper department
or otherwise, as may be proper, be-
lieving as We do that when the ques-
ton Of location of the public building
Is considered without reference to in
dividual interests, but guided solely by
the interest of the general public, at
least nine-tenths of the citizens of
Ocala would prefer that the building
be located in the center of the lot

NEW YORK A VICTOR
TAKES THE LAST GAME FROM THE
 CUBS.
The Contest Kept The Immense Crowd At . High Pitch of Excitement Throughout The Nine
 Innings.

New York, Sept 24--After an excep- tionally nerve-tingling two days for the base ball enthusiasts. the New York Chicago series in the National League ended today in a to 4 victory for the home team.
 The game kept the immense crowd at a high pitch of excitement. The dramatic and apparently uncertain ending of yesterdays game had sharp ened interest in the last contest. and especially in view of President Pull Hams ruling today that the umpires decision that yesterdays game was tie. would stand.
 Further interest was added by the fact that Chicago had already played a game before the crowd arrived to- day-or rather had appeared on the field with no other team and no umpire on the diamond and had claimed that a to 0 defeat should be recorded against New York. They relied. in this. 1t was said. upon a rule which they construed as making compulsory the playing off of. tie game on the that the New. Yorks should. under the rules. be fined st.0o0 for failure to ap- pear to play.
 -..e officers of the New York club. stated, however, that they had receiv ed no intimation from the Chicago's of their desire to play off the tie. and did not take the matter at all serious ly. One of the officials called atten- ton to the fact that the Chicago's appeared for the regularly scheduled game in spite of the statement that it had been given out that the New Yorks. by the rule, were barred from playing until the fine had been paid. semed to indicate that the Chicago club was not altogether in earnest in the matter. But in the scheduled game there was no doubt of earnestness on both sides.
 At the opening. New York put wiltse and Bresnahan in the points. and Chi" cago. Brown and Kling.
