 Mgr. McMahon is the Birdsey-Som- CTS new leader. He should make a good showing as he has some good players on his team.
 Kelly has pitched two great games but lost both. He is pitching in mid season form due no doubt to his be- ing in trim after his spring season in the south.
 Kerr injured his finger badly in last Sundays game and was forced to retire. Treat will fill his place un- -ti! his finger is better.
 This Butler is some clouter. Last season he batted over 300 and has started out this season in great form.
 O'Leary certainly fills up the weak spot in the Crane No. 2 lineup. His fielding and batting are all that could be desired.

Flagler has never thought about this

thought about the millions he has
used in building the several palatial
hotels built along the east of Florida
that stand idle eight months of the

modate tourists who wish elegance

who come here for change and rest
and where the porters get the change
and the landlords the rest. This
road now affords a direct quick
transit to Cuba where thousands of
tourists go yearly to see old Moro

the Maine, the quaint old CASTELAR,
homes of the Spanish and wealthy
Cubans, the uniqueness and oddness
of Cuban shops and stores, the
strange and crude markets where all
tropical fruits are offered for sale
in the quaintest ways imaginable.
The schools in Cuba so far as Eng

are judged. There is not one public
