PENSACOLA IS
IDEAL CITY FOR
MANUFACTURES
CINCINNATI MAN SAYS DEEP
WATER CITY OFFERS GREATER
INDUCEMENTS THAN ANY
SOUTHERN cITY-ThINks THAT
THE MADE IN PENSACOLA, 80
SPREADING.

Clifford Greve, of Cincinnati. is spend
Ing several days in Pensacola, guest
at the San Carlos.
Il am here" Mr.. Greve stated last
night, primarily for the purpose of
being in the Deep Water City to make
few investigations and observations
in the interests of a large business
concern, the nature of which am not
at the present moment ready to give
out
Greve, Il am convinced of one fact,
and that is that Pensacola is in my
judgment one of the best towns in
the south. | travel from Maine to
Mexico and / have yet to see a city
that offers greater inducements to
manufacturers than does this city
The shipping facilities here are
good and 1 understand that with the
addition of municipal wharves and a
belt line railroad, and with two new
railroads coming into this port. / can
not for the life of me conceive of a
city that can hold out greater induce
ments to the man who is looking for
a factory site
with water and rail rates. what
more could be asked?" said Mr..
Greve.
The business man, the manufac-
turer, necessarily has to consider these
problems, above all else and those
who are coming into the south to es-
tablish their plants will not fail to
recognize Pensacola's superiority
along those lines.
From what l have seen l can can
didly state that the Deep Water City
possesses advantages that no other
city possesses advantages that no
other city in the south can claim. and
it is only a matter of a short time
before those who are seeking a new
field win realize this fact"
Mr. {1rAye has travelled extensivAlv
throughout the United States and dur
ing his say in Pensacola has made
many warm friends. He will remain
In the city fer several days.

UMPIRE SHOULD
HAVE ALLOWED
SNAPPERS RUN
TOWNSEND WAS ENTITLED TO
SCORE WHEN PASSED BALL
WENT INTO PLAYERS BENCH IN
THE FIRST GAME.

Umpire Williams. who is usually
correct in his decisions and who made
better impression on local fans than
possibly any of the umpireS seen at
Maxent park this season, surely pull
ed a bad one yesterday afternoon in
the first game when he not only re-
fused to allow Townsend to score, but
put Manager Hamilton out of the
game for standing up for his team s
right and plastered a $40 fine on him
in addition. He handed the game
to Selma by the decision for the run
would have tied the score and as that
team had just began to hit Love pos
sibly snatched a victory from the.
Townsend was on second and Jewell
on first when the play occurred. Love
sent a wide one in that hit the edge
of Holtz's glove and bounded into
the visiting players bench. Townsend
went to third and Jewell, TO second,
but were held there by the umpire,
who refused to allow them two bases.
despite the fact that the rule is very
plain on this point. The claim set up
that ground rules had been made al
lowing emily one base for a passed ball.
but no ground rule can be made that
conflicts with the rules. Mana ger
Hamilton kicked against the very I'M
fair decision, but all he got from UNI
pire Williams was Punishment from
the game and a $40 fine for arguing
with his jumps. Sections and of
playing rules relating to ground rules
says:
Section 8. In all cases where
there are no spectators on the playing
field, and where a thrown ball goes
into a stand for spectators, or over
or through any fence surrounding the
playing field, or into the players bench
(whether the ball rebounds into the
field or not) the runner or runners
shall be entitled to two bases. The
umpire in awarding such bases shall
be governed by the position of the
runner or runners at the time the
throw was made.
Section 4. The umpire shall also
ascertain from the home captain
whether any other special ground rules
are necessary, and if there be he shall
advise the opposing captain of their
scope and see that each is duly en-
forced, PROVIDED THEY DO NOT
CONFLICT with any of these rules
and are acceptable to the captain of
the visiting team.
Manager Hamilton before being put
out of the game filed a protest with
Umpire Williams and last night Pres
ident Schad wired to President Redus
at Meridian protesting the game.

Roots Vein OF Romance,

Senator Root, praising one Of the
American pictures at the recent inter
national exhibition in New York, said
Il was a poetical as an old storekeep-
er ne had known in his boyhood re-
iates the Boston Globe.
"Tnis storekeeper," he went on, was
always doing kind things and saying
lovely ones. I remember a spring when
he was having his store reprinted. Jie
told the painter to leave a certain cor
ner untouched for the time being. He
explained that the young people at that
season did all their counting there and
he didn't want them to get smudged.
But objected the painter these
young folks would be fools not to know
the smell of fresh paint
Young Teller said the old store
keeper, you've never had girl; that's
pain. If you had, you'd know that
when folks are in love everything wet,
wet paint included, smells like violets
and roses
