NOM DE PLUMES AND NAMES

In comparing "Old Man Common
People" to a wolf in sleeps cloth
ing, Mr.. Edwin Spencer slightly
overdid himself. 1t looked like he
had nothing more to say, and in
view of the fact that he had by OBJ
vious inference, only a day or so be-
fore, wrongfully charged several of
his fellow citizens with being graft
ers and incompetents, the accusation
came with bad grace from him.
The Star knows no reason why
any citizen may not publish his
views on public affairs over a nom
de plume The Star will never adj
nit TO its columns personal abuse
Of any man over a non de plume or
genuine name, but if we'll posted
man desires to express himself, it is
not to the public interest that his
opinion be shut out, because he pre-
fers not to put his name in print.
We have a number Of times express
ed opinions suggested to us by Mr..
Spencer, and will probably do so
again, and it seems to us that the
difference is in degree rather than in
kind.
There are two reasons for using
nom de plumes. One is that a man
may have an idea that the paper
desires to use, yet may not care to
have his name in print. The Star
ir,tn
written over a nom de plume by a
respected old citizen whom no sensi-
BILE person would accuse of being
afraid of anybody. Others of our
leading citizens often contribute ar
ticles that are of value, and it would
be silly to bar them out because the
writer's do not wish to sign their
real names. 1t is the ideas or the
Information the readers want and
not the names.
Another reason is, that in Ocala,
as in most other towns, a man can't
express himself on any public ques-
ton without provoking the ill-feel-
ing of some narrOw-minded people
who don't agree with him. 1t is all
right for a man to make himself a
target for the sings and arrows of
outrageous fortune in order TO COM
bat for some great principle, but if
ne doesn't want to make a target of
himself for outrageous damphoOl-
Ishness, he is not to be blamed.
Mr.. Spencer belongs to a profess
sion the members Of which strive
nightly over human life and liberty
and valuable property without los
ing their tempers. Let him not be
come peeved over the question of
who shall be the figurehead of Ocala.

HOW TO PLAY BASKETBALL
SIGNALS:
BY "BILL" REYNOLDS

SIGNALS;
Everyt team should have a center who is able to outjump his oppon-
et. 1t is only in such cases that signals IAN be used to advantage, INK
that a team can, from the toss-up, play a offensive CANA 49, Fer-r@-ax
ter to lose o n the jump pcaes his team o n the defense from the start
If the center a wins the jump. he places the ball according to signal
and his team has IN immediate advantage. Signals in this case, ire
necessary in order that every teammate may know who is to receive the
ball on the tpof-an advantage not to BIO dispised, as it is easier by
far to start speedily for the ball if you know exactly where you are go
ing. This gives the team possession of the ball-and l again repeat
that possession of the ball" is more than half the game.
Signals may be given by any member. of a team, but it is I'M
doubtedy the duty Of the center, ID he is where the play starts-the
focus Of all eyes, as it were. On the other hand, signals are SO easily
discovered, that 1t is sometimes n advantage to fool" the opponents,
who look for the ENTER to civ. the signal, by letting that duty fall to
some other member of the team.
PRACTICE:
Practice should be started about three weeks before starting the
regular schedule. After the scrimmages, etc, a S mentioned In the first
part Of this article, a short (about ten minutes) signal practice OF plays
should be held. Some time previous to this however, it is my opinion
that the college system of a blackboard talk" with chalk diagrams
of the different plays, would be a great advantage. All the plays could
thus be shown simply and thoroughly. AT the same time a discussion
of the rule book, with a view to avoid breaking the foul rules, would
not be out of place.
/ might here lay out a number of simple, and otherwise, plays that
could be used by u team, but time and space unfortunately, or fortu-
nately, forbid.
In CLOSING sum up the essentials in a few words: Team work,
enthusiasm, accuracy in passing, close attention to the game, cool head
edness, quick thinking, and wind and sped.
Last, but not least, n tr sportman in basketball, IS well a any
other athletic game. is always a gentleman. Keep a stiff upper lip and
smile whether winning Or losing, and don't give up!
Also remember-P1ay the Ball. A team that plays the ball can
beat a team that rely on body checking and rough house." nine times

That Joe Honan, popularity known
as THE Fighting Waiter" will not
perform at the d. A. A. C. smoker, Is
q certainty, despite rumors circulated
through reports made otherwise than
from these columns. Honan several
weeks ago, in a statement to the

boxing for keeps" and according to
a letter received by the sporting edi-
tor today, he does not expect to break
his promise.

M'VE|GH
TO MEET
CARROLL
In 10 Round Bout
at RiChmond'S
First Stag.
is NEXT WEEK

Positive announcement was made
today tEat Young Johnny Carroll, of
this city, and Jimmy McVeigh, of
Newark, would meet in a ten-round
bout as the main go of the first stag
which will be held by the Richmond
A. A. in Tottenville some night next
week. Those In charge have report
ed that the stag will not be held next
Friday night In courtesy to the Tot
tenville A. c.. who are hold a social
on hat night.
AS the bouts will not be held Sat-
urday either. since there are dances
both here and in ~Tottenville on that
night, the first stag will probably be
held the early part of next week.
McVeigh is a boxer of renown and
no mean ability. He has cleaned up
for many in his class and he has CON
tidence that he can do away with
the clever Johnny Carroll, who is
this city's boxing pride at present.
Carroll has not been seen In action
in these parts for many moons and
many fans from this burg as we'll as
from the island shores will be pleased
to welcome him when he climbs
through the ropes at the Richmond
next week.
An attempt is being made to card
Young Levins, of New Brunswick, in
II of the semi-finals. Levins is one
OF the speediest In his class in these
parts and showed his skill and clever
ness before teh Permo A. A. members
when that club was in Its prime. He
may be matched against Kid Glenn
ems, II the latter Is obtainable.
"Fingy' Edwards, a local beginner,
may be booked for a four-round pre-
liminary. The matchmaker is trying
to stage one of the best cards ever
presented by a boxing club to its
patrons for the first night and will
use its power to duplicate the per-
Torrance in the other stays too. A
, good beginning-that is the idea.

TO PLEASE FANS BY
HAVING SAME T0SSERS
OPPOSE RIVERSIDES

Fans who witnessed the game be-
tween the Riversides and lnter-City
Five, OF Jersey City, were SO pleased
with the exhibition given by these
teams last Saturday night on the
Auditorium court that Joe-Billott-
Joe has booked several OF the same
~tossers to appear here this Saturday
night. The team which will perform
here will be known as the Point *.
c., Of Bayonne. 1t will not be the
same makeup which the Point team
presented on its last appearance nor
will it be the regular Inter-City Five
lineup.
The team will comprise five of the
best tossers chosen from the ranks
of both squads The Bayonne boys
are anxious to win one game from
the locals and they have been offered
a bonus If they carry home the bacon.
Lauenstein. the husky center, who
starred here Saturday night, will be
one Of the performers in the Point
makeup.

MUCH TALKED
OF W. A.. A.. IS
IN BASKETBALL
Rivals Of Local High School
and Dexter Team Reor-
Qanizs for Season.


But two seasons ago there were
no possible terms which could induce
the Woodbridge A. A. to travel from
their little burg to this city to meet
the Dexter quintet or the P. A. H. s.
team, but now the w. A. A. boys
have organized under the manager
ship of Charles A. Campbell, Jr., and
are looking for games. 1t Is proba-
BILE that their challenge to the River
sides will be accepted and they may
be booked for a Friday night.
There was much rivalry between
local teams and the w. A. A. when
the latter performed in 19l0-1911.
Manager Campbell does not prom
Use q crew of world-beaters, but he
thinks he has a clan of tossers who
will be able to teach several quintets
in these findings a few pointers about
the popular winter indoor sport.
Joe Cushing. captain of Wood
bridge high school, and Runyou
Potter, of the Parish House, are in
Campbell's list of candidates. Charley
will probably perform himself. The
rest of the crew is not yet known.

.RUM0R THAT DUBLIN
BOY MAY HAVE TEAM

1t has been rumoTed through base
ball circles for the last few weeks
that the baseball players from Dublin
will organize a team for the coming
season under the nom de plume of
the Dublin A. G.. 1t was understood
that Johnny Hunt, Mat Rodda, Pete
Peterson, Mickey Looser and Gus
Looser will be among those in the
Dublin teams makeup. The organ
ization of such a nine seems improbs
able since the st. Anthony team is
too popular to be given up by any of
its tossers. And if Mickey Looser
and Johnny Hunt drop out of the
Dublin idea there is no chance for
any team up that way. There is one
thing certain about the boys from
the section called Dublin, and hat is
that they have a big band of rooters
and supporters and should any ath-
letic organization play under the
cognomen of Dublin A. c., support
would not be lacking.

GARLAND HAS
GREAT RECORD

Fred Garland, who has perform
ed with nearly every team that halls
from up-county way at least once
this season is making quite a repu-
tation for himself. In the SO games
in which he has played, the Michelin
lad has scored 1882 field goals and
100 goals from the foul line, a total
of 884 points. This is some mark
of honor and no other tosser in
these parts a claim such a high
average as Freddie has. While he
is supposed to be mighty in floor
work as we'll as in shooting, he has
never displayed any form in any de-
partment but shooting.
There is no doubt that Garland
should receive much credit for his
feature performances, being one Of
the best shots In these diggings, but
being at the same time a basket
hanger" his work is nothing real
startling, although commendable.

PURITANS THANKFUL TO KELLY
FOR jim CANTL0N'S SERVICES

And as a result the Puritans cop
ped the city championship from the
Y. M. II. A. in the season of 1910
1911, and were the county league
champions last year.
Canton has been the pinnacle of
strength around which the Puritan
strength depended. He has been
the hero of many a battle for the
North Amboy clan. 1t is seldom in
the box score that one can learn of
his performances, as he is a star in
floor work and passing. He is also
one OF the best dribblers in the
state. When the victories of the
Puritan team are considered, the fol-
lowers of this combination should
give n thought for Kelly--the man
who showed that there was a Can in
Canton, which displayed the Pure
in Puritan.

LANKY ALEXANDER HERALD WAND
IS YOUNGEST OF SENIOR STARS

One of the new stars of this age,
the 1912-1913 basketball season, is
no doubt lanky Alexander Herold
Wand. the pivot general of the
Woodbridge high school quintet and
of the Parish House clan. 1t was
only last season that junior tossers
outplayed Wand and his clan of war
riors, but it is different this season.
Wand is a feared player. Because
of his height he is subject to a great
advantage. His wonderful ability in
handling the pellet makes his height
even a greater advantage than one
imagines for he is able to juggle and
keep possession Of the ball while
holding it above most of his oppo-
nents' heads.
At this time of the season he Is at
his best. In the Woodbridge-P. A.

thirteen points. at Red Bank he
figured greatly in his quintet's VIC
tory owe r. B. H. s. He has been
displaying rare form throughout the
season and many believe him the
peer of any of the pivot generals in
the county.
Wand is no doubt the youngest
star of the season. He is fifteen
years old. When next October rolls
around and is about to turn into
November, lanky Al will become
"sweet sixteen" He is a "freshy"
in Woodbridge high and has many
years Of basketball before him.
He may be seer in action with the
