ANOTHER BASEBALL VICTORY
Fort Pierce Defeated Eau Gallie
Five to One
VICTORY

The Fort Pierce baseball team went
to Eau Gallie last Friday and returned
home the same evening with another
scalp dangling at their belts, having
defeated the Eau Galie aggregation OF
ball tossers by score Of 8 to 1.
When the Fort Pierce players arrived
at Eau Gallie they we're escorted to
The Inn where good dinner was
spread before them. After hearty
meal launch was provided to take
them from the hotel around to the base
ball ground of the Kentucky Military
Institute at Military Park. They were
treated royalty by Messps, Sample,
Christian and other Eau Gallie citi-
zens, and it seemed shame to turn
around and give such drubbing, but,
Of course, it had to be done,
The game started of with shutout
for both sides in two innings, but in
the third, with couple of hits, assisted
materially by errors on the part of Eau
Gallie, Fort Pierce scored four runs.
In the fourth another was added, Eau
Gallie made her one run in the sixth
inning, when an error and long hit,
over which there was discussion
about it being fair, enabled one man to
circle the bases.
On several occasions runners were
on third base, but the necessary hit
failed to materialize. With the excep-
ton of the third inning, when Fort
Pierce put the game on ice, it was u
very good exhibition, despite the bad
condition Of the grounds.
The following was the lineup OF the
Fort Pierce team: Raney c, Racey p,
Evernden ID, Piner b, Wilson 8 b, r.
VanLandingham $, w. E, VanLand-
ham, I, Brown t. Swain r I. Sam

real exhibition of the national sport.

united effort to obtain better freight
rates, in the management OF labor, and
in the purchase of supplies, such as
crate material and fertilizers.
The faces Of those that were present
showed that they we're there for bust

is going through and is going to be a
power for good. The grower is up

without organization he is bound to be
ruined. A reduction in freight rates

lief OF many that the railroads stand
ready to grant concessions along that
line as we'll as to give better service
aud to help the growers In other ways

The fact that the growers get to.

money as dues definitely indicates to
the railroad that the grower wants
what he asks for, and they will pay
some attention to him. II the grower
stands back, huns and haws and says
he is going to wait and see what we
accomplish before he comes 10 then the

Growers HSSO6l1tlOn ORGANIZED
An Account Of the Meeting and Strong Letter from Local
Grower Endorsing the Association

The East Coast Fruit and Vegetable
Growers Association is now a perma-
nent organization.
The meeting at Miami July 22d was
a successful one and the enthusiasm
manifested by the growers from Dade,
Palm Beach and ST. Lucie counties In
dictate that the movement is going to
be power for good.
1t took nearly all day to adopt con-
stitution, section by section, and elect
officers. The following officers and
board Of directors were elected:
President-Cullen Pence, Boynton.
Vice President. M. Holding, Dania.
Secretary-T. v. Moore, Miami,
Treasurer-J.A A. Montgomery, Miami.
Directors-Dade county-W, S. Bur
bank, w. A. Filler, John M, Bryan, Jr.;
Palm Beach county-W. j. Dyer, Stu
art. J. S. Lindsey, Fort Lauderdale
J, Fl. Hopkins, Deeraeld; st. Lucie
county-P. G. Eldred, j. I. Waters,
r. L. Goodwin.
The board of directors will meet In
few days at West Palm Beach.
There are at the present time over
$50 members paid up. Those who are
not members are requested to become
members by the payment of the yearly
dues, $500, to any Of the board Of direc-
tors or to the secretary of the organi-
zation. AT the meeting OF the board OF
directors definite plans to increase the
membership will be made.
r. Hudson Burr, Of the Railroad
Commission; Hon. Newton Bitch, OF
the Railroad Commission, and Special
Attorney Louis A. Massey, their coun-
sell, were present, and Mr.. Burr spoke
about 20 minutes. He regretted that
the organization had not had time TO
give him something definite to talk
about, and in lieu Of that he would en-
deavor to give some information OF the
doings of the railway commission. The
purpose of the railroad commission ne
explained, is to help both the railroad
and the people and to give each square
deal to establish rates where they had
the power, but they must look at all
sides. and when they made rates 70
make them so they would stand in the
courts. He further spoke OF a persist
ent effort being made to discredit the
work of the commission. When COM
plaint to the railroad has been MADE
about rates being raised the railway
has replied that the commission was
responsible when there was no truth IN
It. He further said that the commits
sion stood willing to help the growers
up 10 the limit. The commission WIN
meet the board Of directors at any time
and at any point they wish and DO the
very best they can for them.
Il is unfortunate that owing to linn 2
TEA time others speakers present could
not have the floor, but it is probable
that other public meetings will be ar
ranged and speakers allowed to preSen'
all sides Of the question.

But you say it will cost two dollars.
Yes, brother, it will cost more than

on to yay an assessment of half a cent
per crate or so cents per acrei which
will make US an irresistible force when
we are affiliated with the State organ

Get out that $500 and send it to the

that you are not dead one.

included in the constitution that the
organization could call an assessment
