SEASON TO-DAY
Exhibitions Gives Way to
Championship Games.
ATHLETICS LIKELY TO REPEAT
American LenEue Race Is Not as
Open as the National-New York
Players and May Surprise Fans.
Tigers Are Coming Strong.

Exhibition baseball gives way to cham
pion baseball to-day. The opening day
OF the annual races of the National and
American Leagues has a place all its
own in the land. 1t has its share of the
national interest along with the Fourth
of July and other holidays. There never
was more interest at the beginning of
a season than now. How that interest
will be sustained depends on the nature
of the races, whether or not they are
close and exciting and how long the
pennant issue remains in doubt.
The situation in both leagues is such
that interest as compared to the opening
a year ago is stimulated by the outlook
for change in pennant ownership. At
least this is true of the National League
For some seasons, Chicago and Pittsburg
have been reckoned the only two pennant
contenders, but this year the general
impression is that the New York Giants
have the best prospects for the cham
pionShip. The main reason for that be-
lief is that the Cubs and Pirates are
no stronger than last year. whereas there
is a reasonable likelihood that certain
young Giant pitchers and players in one
or two positions will have improved

American League Prospects.
AS to the American League the tussle
for first place is not considered as open
AZ in the National. The Athletics are
E-ore likely to repeat than are the Cubs.
But what the Athletics did last year
that surprised the community by their
strength and winning the pennant, is by
no means out OF the question for some
other team this year. The New York
Americans. for instance. are hustling.
aggressive, fast lot Of olayers. and with
all able pitching staff are in a way to
play better ball than they did last year.
Again, the hard-hittinC Detroits, with
their good pitchers, cOmnlicate the situa-
tion by the chance of a come-b back
Washington, cleveland, Boston. and Chi
cago are uncertain, but troublesome
quantities are likely TO play a part in
making the race closer than a year ago.
St Louis seems to be the only hopeless
case in the major league lot.
The National League umpires have
teen assigned as follows: Boston. Klein
and Doyle: New York. Johnstone and
Eason: Cincinnati. O'Day and Brennan;
Chicago. Rigler and F:nneran.
The American League umpires will be
as follows: Philadelphia, Evans and

RICHMOND MAN IN
FLORIDA BANK DEAL
MIR. DAVID III. SCOTT vICE-PRESI-
DENT OF CONSOLIDATED FIRST
Il. NATIONAL OF ARCADIA.

Of special interest here is the an
nouncement just made Of the con-
solicitation of the First National Bank
and the State Bank of Arcadia. both
prosperous institutions of Arcadia.
Fla, with David RI. Scott. "a Rich
mond man, as second viee-president.
and Robert .. Turner. another young
HirEinian and former resident Of
Richmond. as assistant cashier,
The First National Is one OF the
oldest banks of Arcadia. a town To-
Gated in the heart Of one of the rich
est orange sections OF the Land OF
Flowers. while the State Bank was
organized less than three years ago
by Mr.. Scott and his associates, with
Mr.. j. ]. Heard as president and Mr..
Scott as cashier. The bank had $780,
900 capital, did well from the start
and had just declared 10 per cent
dividend when the consolidation was
effected.
The DeSoto County News. speaking
OF the consolidation, says:
The consolidation of these two
banks gives Arcadia and peSoto coun-
~ the largest and strongest banking
institution in South Florida, outside
OF Tampa, with a capital stock OF
100000, fully paid up. and surplus
OF $4,000. As Is we'll known. the
stockholders of the two banks COM
pose some of the oldest and wealth
lest citizens in the county. and their
personal liabilities to the depositors
In this bank would easily increase the
protection OF patrons TO $200, 900, in
addition 10 the surplus.
This, In our judgment. means
much for Arcadia and DeSoto county,
combining not only the funds of the
two banks. but the judgment and ex-
perience OF the abiest officials OF each.
places the bank In better position
to help it's friends and patrons and
better care for their needs. All of
tho stockholders. Of the two banks re-
tain their stock In the consolidated
bank and have the same interest
therein as heretofore. 1t will be seen
that neither OF the banks lose their
identity In the consolidation, as the
officers of the new organization are:
y. ]. Heard. president; r. r.. King,
first president: ID. II. Scott. sec
ond president: J. G.. King, cash.
Ter: william Plat and r.. o. Turner,

Messrs Scott and Turner are both
well known here. Mr. Scott. a Pow
hatan boy. was educated at Richmond
College. made his home here until a
few years ago. when his large ana
growing interests demanded more of
