The LOCALS WON GOOD GAME
Fort Pierce Defeated West Palm
Beach at Baseball.

Fort Pierce 10, West Palm Beach Z.
That in itself tells the story of the
game of baseball played here last
Thursday afternoon between the Palms
of West Palm Beach, and the Boosters
of Fort Pierce.
This was the first game Of the season
in Fort Pierce. and good crowd was
out TO witness the contest, and goodly
proportion of the spectators and rooters
were ladies.
The game opened with the visitors
at the bat, and simultaneously with the
call to play ball, measly little ram
started that kept up throughout the
first inning. However, after that, the
weather was fine. The Palms made
one run in the opening round, and the
home boys went them one better in
their half.
10 the second the visitors again took
the lead by putting two men across the
plate. But here again the locals jump
ed to the front when four runs were
scored. In this inning also, the WIS.,
itors changed pitchers, replacing Ear
man with Baker, but this did not STOP
the terrific batting of the Fort Pierce
contingent, for it is recorded that six
teen hits we're secured off the visiting
pitchers, three OF which were for two
bases.
From the second inning to the hnlsn
the home team held the lead, and at nc
time were they in real danger Inc
visitors, however, played good uphill
game and fought to the last for a vic
tory. - -.
The following box score tells the
story of the game in more detail

IL mas been disappointing that il has
been patronized so little. This condi-
tlon the public Of Fort Pierce can and
should rectify by more liberal patron
age, and the books which we have be-
ing Ola high standard 1 am sure that
such patronage would be mutually
helpful While in some ways our wears
work has been disappointment to us,
inasmuch as we have not been able to
pay off as much of the old Indebtedness
as we had hoped to do, yet we feel that,
all things being considered, the year
has beer fairly successful, as we have
incurred no new indebtedness which we
have not been able to meet.
We have finished the year without
borrowing money-the first time in the
history of the club that this has been
done. We have also, for the first time
in the history of the club, lost our Sec
Rotary and treasurer, both of whom re-
signed in December, our present secre.
tary and treasurer taking their offices
in January We, the retiring board Of
directors, have given our time, strength
and service to this work at the sacrifice
OF other duties and pleasures, and we
have sometimes met with lack of inter-
est, and often criticisms, from the pub
lie, but We leave our offices today with
clean record, feeling that we have
done the best we could and regretting
only that We have been unable to do
more. GRACE p. HORTON,

o. B. basis, | have the following to
say; | wish to thank the few gentle
men who have written me encouraging
letters, and to congratulate the bal
ance on fairly successful season, that,
judging by their silence, they must
have had, since nothing different or
better seems to lie desired, or since
they do not even care to make an ex-
preston of encouragement for anything
different that, at least, promises better
for all. 1t probably will be better to
wait more opportune time in the near
future, when perhaps someone else will
be more successful than | in arousing
sentiment for better conditiuns in our
industry. wish to thank, especially,
those who have offered me money to
help pay the expense | have been put
to in my efforts to get the majority to-
gether, but must decline, as / am al
ways willing to pay for my own mis-
takes. AS stated in my last letter, |
absolutely will not take up this meet
ing unless have strong sentiment
for it, and it is up to the growers to In
dictate that sentiment. There is only a
keen disappointment in the feeling
that we are no longer happy commu-
nifty in a frugal independence, but have
a feeling of terrible uncertainty for our
credit, our living, maintenance of our
homes. and fearfully dissatisfied feel
ing that we are not getting the fair
and just profits of our hard work, of
our investments. That, at least, is
how some of us feel, but TO change it,
nearly all must feel alike.
Sincerely yours,
Geo. E. Andrews

OPEN LETTER TO TAE TRIBUNE
Mr.. Lord Asks Our Contemporary
Some Pertinent Questions.

tOFU IleECe, 4 lo'j q uHO 90 IVV0'
Mr.. a. L. Wilson,
Editor Tribune,
Dear Sir:
In your issue of the 18th you state
that the whole cause of the low price
ofspiaeapples this year-is caused by,
first, inadequate tariff, second, Cuban
pines coming in at the same time as
tlorida's, and, third, because our grow
ers have signed up such a large propor-
ton of the crop that buyers have been
discouraged and left.
Then you proceed to say.that all OF
these causes may be largely remedied
if our growers will take intelligent ac-
ton" | consider myself as intelligent
as the average grower, even If l did
''sign up" not only my crop, but a
crop that had the management OF.
Now l would ignore the reflection on
my intelligence were it not for the fact
that have been criticised as the result
of that editorial.
Now, Mr.. editor, am firmly of the
opinion that | have not made mis-
take in signing up these crops, and
returns to date seem TO warrant that
opinion, for l have not had to pay
freight on any of my shipments, and
| hear of several outside shippers who
have received bills for freight charges
My average returns are as large, II
not larger, than any outilde "wild cat
shipper know OF.
If there is a good reason why dis
tributors should not control my ship
ments, l would like to know it.
AS you have devoted considerable
time to thorough study of the causes"
and signing up being one of the three
In next weeks issue, please tell me how
I have made a mistake in signing up
The buyers had not left. They sim
ply turned brokers and solicitors and
STAYED TO the finish. Please tell what
buyers had left, because they could not
buy, if you know Of any. Fruit has
been for sale and mine in particular, as
| was in no way compelled to give Q. q
w. any of my product; and the only
buyers l saw, and 1 know them all,
were down here for a purpose little
bit different from buying, as one In
particular said to me. in addition to
other unpleasant remarks, THAT every
commission house had - big knife
out and would use it against G. q W."
It is we'll known fact the buyer is al
ways absent or refuses TO buy When the
market is speculative. When the mar
ket offers sure thing, he is Johnny on
the spot. 1 have only had five years
experience in marketing pines and will
appreciate any information that you
have cleaned from your thorough
Estudy Of conditions. Yours truly,
CHAs, LORD.
