BASEBALL DOPE PUTS
TITUSVILLE TO SLEEP

Did YOU notice how the Fort Pierce
paprrs cooled down on the baseball
p.ouositlou? We told them to put up
or shut uu' and as they did not have
the goods tn pat up they must have
decided Ia de- the other thing.
We did not intend to be too hard on
YOU. boys. but your hutf would not work
ON the rtusyille baseball team.
And now the Fort Pierce aggregation
disclaims any responsibility for the wind
tanning done by the belllcoSe newspaper
fraternity of that husting town.
Fort Pierce won game from Cocoa
ON Tuesday. and they will only have to
get their nerveup twenty miles more to
reach Titusyille.
Here's hoping they will get up to the
Titusville class and give us a game be-
fore long. Titusville Advocate.

East Coast Advocate, TituSville.
GentIcmeH ! note by your issue OF
the 10th that you say our papers have
cooled down since YOU told us to put
up or shut up" Well newspaper talk
is not always baseball talk. As Titus
Vile and the manager of her ball team
have reputation for evading the
question | will get To the facts. Mr.
kingman offered Us one (Only) date,
and on that date We had agreed to play
at Jensen. therefore did not accept,
and thereby hangs the tail.
Further, We are tired of talk, and
if you will name day for a game to
be played in TitusyiIle within the next
two weeks we will show whether or
not we have the goods. Will you put
up or will YOU shut ~?
And now tor the 'disclaiming of any
responsibility for the wind jamming
done by the bellcose newspaper fra
ternity Of Fort Pierce. | see that
your manager took advantage of a
letter in which We tried to place the
bail club in the right light before your
club. bat evidently your manager. {.
b. kingman, by name, does not know
what that means. or not interested in
that phase of the question, and does d
little Wind-jamming to your paper on
his own account.
Once more, here's hoping that Fort
Pierce will not fall" to the class
Titusylie is in as We have not seen
where they have won from any real
ball team except Cocoa. When you
can say that you have played West
Palm Beach, Cocoa, Eau Gallie. st.
Augustine, Miami and Stuart and lost
only one out of nine then you might
Wrd.jam with something back of it.

great many theories as othow Mr.. Way

theory is more strongly advanced, but no
cause for his taking his own life can be
found, and his wife is strongly of the
