A Close Call.

Miss Ethel Lee bad a close call
from drowning at Pablo Beach last
Sunday. The Metropolis has the
following about IT,:
Miss Lee and Mr.. Carter went in
to the surf about 10 O'Clock, and after
about ten minutes spent in the shall
low water near the shore, moved ont
further in the surf.
Suddenly they stepped off into a
slough which had formed and in
which the water was running i'm an
undercurrent at a terrific speed.
The water was about six feet deep,
and Mr.. Carter at once realized the
danger, but Miss Lee did not. Mr..
Carter called TO some men on the
beach to come to his aid, but they
gave no signs that they had heard
Mr.. Carter's appeal, and he was
forced to battle with all of his might
To keep from being carried further
out to sea. Miss Lee became ex-
cited and attempted to grasp Mr..
Carter, but he finally induced her to
control herself.
The force of tile undertow seemed
to be doubled with each wave, and
Mr.. Carter was almost exhausted
when T.. g. Davedeit, who had seen
the distress Of the couple, came out
to aid them. Just as he reached
them huge wave came and com
pletely covered the trio, Miss Lee
being unconscious by the water that
was forced into her lungs. Before
the men reached shore, with Miss
Lee hanging behind, dead weight,
other waves continued to roll over
them, and she was nearer dead than
alive when the shore was reached.
She was carried TO the home of her
uncle, o. II. Ravens, where a physi-
clan attended, but two hours elapsed
before the young lady recovered
consciousness. This morning she
was reported 70 be resting easier, but
Is still In a weak condition.
Mr.. Carter was exhausted by his ex-
perience and says he believes an
other minute without aid would
have been fatal TO both. The aid OF
Mr.. Davedeit was timely, and Mr..
Carter gives him great praise for his
courageous action.

Baseball at Palatka.

The Palatka- Gainesville ball game
Wednesday at the Palatka park was
a corker, alright, running through
the nine innings without run on
either side.
Owing TO the manager Of the Oak
Halls refusing to continue, they for
feited the game to Palatka, 8 0.
The fans were muchly disappoint-
ed at not seeing the best game of
many seasons fought out, and the
remarks passed as to Manager Davis
as a sport were anything but com
plimentary. Ii his reasons for call
ing his men off were as heard on the
street-''unfair decisions OF the UNI
pire"-he is certainly sorry prop
ssition, and no advertisement for the
Gainesville fans, who have the rep
utation OF being sportsmen. UmpiR
Lecks was certainly as fair as al
umpire could be ia Ills decisions.
The two closest, and In fact the only
close decisions, were when Palatka
runners were on LIST and 81, and CIV
ing Palatka the long end of 1t made
no difference in the score anyhow.
On balls and strikes the Oak Hall
pitcher who pitched OF the 8 in
nings informed us that he was salts
fed with the umpires' decisions on
balls and strikes-not more than one
OF two he even thought might have
been miscalled.
The Oak Hall shortstop made a
beautiful stop of hot liner, and the
right-fielder made peg from deep
right to home plate that cut OF Joe
Merrill's run in great shape.
Fred MerrIll's long run and catch
of a foul fly, and, In fact, the all
round good playing OF the whole lS
men In this gone will be talked
about for some time to come.
Thursday the locals met the same
aggregation and trimmed them pure
ly by out playing them by score Of
four to one. Walker started in
twirling for tho locals, but on account
of mis- hard and excellent work In
Wednesdays game was relieved by
Dillon In the fourth inning, and pre-
sided over the center garden. Did
he preside over II? Say, did you see
the rObber? Well, what do you
know about those left-hand stabs
right of the fence. Selph, the neat
playing third sacker, made the SEN
sational stop Of che day, on swift
ground ball and whipped his man
out at the first sack. Calhoun,
Bridges and j. Merrill did few neat
base-stealing stunts, while Dillon
pitched In his old time form holding
the visitors down TO one Int. He
pitched winning game, and Merrill
f. received In his old time form-he
was there with the goods.
The score Of the game by innings
was as follows;

O'Clock yesterday evening, and was
bprned to the waters edge For,unste-
" a number of boats we're in the vicin-

oi the Inflated launch we're rescued after
having had thrilling experiences. The
party 10 the launch bad spent the after
noon at Marshall Hall and were on the
retdrn trip TO Washington when the &C
cident occurred. What caused the ex'
plosion is matter Of conjecture. 1t Is
said that one OF the men WAS smoking q
cigar and that q spark dropped into q
pan of gasoline. The woodwork OF the
craft Immediately caught fire, and though
the occupants endeavored to beat out the
flames they were compelled, owing to
the heat, to take 10 the water, just as
the tank burst and the entire boat was
wrapped in flames. Four of the occu-
pants of the boat we're unable to swim.
The Good Time was owned by Il. Il.
Kshlert, OF Washington, and was one Of
the finest on the river. 1t was ~ feeI
