 On Friday night both the Baltic teams will journey to Wfllimantic, when the first team will clash with the fast EmeraIds Of that place as each team has a victory to it's credit and ie looks as if both teams would have to travel to get the honors. The Rough and Readys will play the Young Emeralds although the Baltic boys have beaten them twice

occasions. The Tigers were retired on strikes ee4 times. the Highlanders and the Red Sex 5s5 times, the Maps 5T1 times and the White Elephants 5e2 times. The club records of strikeou ts were kept last season. but the indiyid- ual records were not, though they VIII be in the coming campaign, and then fans will be able to learn who was the hardest man to retire on strikes
 When Napoleon LaJoie was in his prime he seldom struck out more than ten times a season. and last year he wasn't whfffed very often Harry Da- wis, who led the American league in home runs for several seasons, was, on the contrary, frequently striking out. Russell Ford of New York once made Connie Mack's once first lieutenant hit nothing but the air four times in one game.
 Ty Cobb does not strike out very frequently, and when he does miss three in a row more than once in a game 1t generally will be found that some left handler is opposing the Ti gers. Back in 1910 Jim Vaughn fan ned the Dixie Demon, who had 8 mo- nopoly on winning the Chalmers tro- phy until last season, three times in one game.
 The greatest number of strikeouts registered in an American league con- test last season was Is, Coonnbs, Brown and Pennock of the White Elephants claiming this number of victims among the Detroit Strike Breakers on May IS. In this contest the Michigan team was routed, A to 2.
 On Sept. IA Hamilton of St. Louis famed 14 of the Washingtons, but he was poorly supported and lost his game to 2. Thirteen strikeouts were claim ed by Scott of Chicago in Is inning game against St Louis on April 20 and by Walter Johnson of Washington against Boston on May 30. Mcconnell of New York set down @ dozen of the Browns on strikes on July 1s.

ATHLETICS WERE HARDEST
 PLAYERS TO STRIKE OUT.
Browns and Senators Were the Cham pion Whiffers in the Ban Johnson Circuit-White Sox Next in Order

Had Hugh Chalmers offered an au- tomobile to the American league play CT of 1912 who struck out the least won the car would in all probability have been a member of the White Elephants. It is a certainty that neither the St. Louis club, which fin ished next to the bottom, nor the Washington team, which finished next to the top, would have claimed the winner, for these two combinations possessed the ablest missers in the junior organization.

GREATEST ATTRACTION
OF THE SEASON

With the elaborate looking and spe-
cially designed posters and litho-
graphs of Sun Brothers Big Shows,
seen on the local billboards and dead
walls, announcing their appearance
here on Thursday, January 9th, there
are many to revive the old cOnten-
ton that the tented show harms a
city in what it takes away from it.
This paper considers that the loss
is more than answered in what the
show brings, to say nothing of the
show dollars left behind in the nature
of feed bills, license fees and other
forms of paid claims, the volume OF
fun and delight bequeathed to the
amusement-loving element of citizen
ship brings us in debt to the Snowman.
We despise the cynical growing
that is provoked by the occasi ional in
vasion Of folks who earn their living
by exercising their talents of making
the world happier.
The man who begrudges the pa
triotism is himself very poor pat
tern of the virtue that he breaches.
The Sun Brothers Shows are making
their twentieth annual tour, and they
are bringing this season the greatest
amusement effort of their long man
agerial career. There is a greater
collection of wild beasts, trained AMI
NAL novelties and many star European
and American performers.
The show gives two complete and
unabridged performances daily, IN talE
or rainy weather, at 2 and p. m. On
the morning of show day and on the
exhibition grounds, directly in front OF
the main entrance, will be presentet
upon magnificent scale a series OF
"thriller" free exhibitions.

FIOrahome Drainage Meeting.

The meeting of tax payers of the
Florahome drainage district called bv
Senator Wall at Florahome on Wed
nesday to meet members of the legis-
lature from this county, with but two
or three exceptions, was simply a
meeting of those who protest the en-
tire drainage scheme.
Senator Wall was not present ow-
ing to the serious illness of his broth
er, Hon. l., c. Wall of Bradford coun
ty. Representative Middleton was
not present. The only member of the
Legislature present was Representa-
tive Russell, who was made chairman.
OF the meeting. Rev. Mr., Strickland
was elected secretary.
Several addresses were made by
parties who own lands within the
drainage district, all of whom were
opposed to the drainage act. But two
or three of the Florahome people were
present. 1t was afterwards learnd
that they declined to attend for the
reason that the meeting was called
for the purpose of protest. E. Lester
Of FlorahOme spoke favorable to the.
measure. But he was talking to u
brick wall. A motion to the effect
that it is the sense of this meeting
that the Florahome drainage law
should be repealed" was made and
carried.
Before the meeting adjourned, Rep
resentative Russell asked the privi-
lege Of the floor and stated that he
thought the action of the meeting had
been hasty; that he was committed to
the drainage project; he said it was
possible that an injustice had beer
done some of the tax payers under the
act-that they were getting but indI-
rect, if any benefit; that if an amend
ment TO the law changing the present
boundry so as to eliminate from the
imposition of the tax those not re-
ceiVing benefit could be drawn up and
agreed to, he would work for it, but
that he could not support an effort to
kill the entire drainage act unless it
was the urgent wish of the great ma
jority Of the tax payers. He repeated
that he thought the action of the meet.
ing was nasty and ill-advised, and not
in keeping with the spirit of progress
The meeting then adjourned. Most
of the land owners present-a dozen
or more-represented those whose
holdings were in the outskirts of the
drainage district There were 40 re-
strictions placed upon the voting priv
ilege, and the meeting really furnished
little upon which one could base an
estimate of the popular sentiment OF
the district.

MUSICAL COMEDY
BY LOCAL TALENT
Makes a Big Hit With a Big
Audience at The Howell.

The "Belle of Saratoga" a musical
comedy in two acts, was presented at
the Howell Theater on New Years
night by some of Palatka's brightest
and best native talent.
The theater was crowded to the
doors, despite the fact that-the pre-
vious night had been one of dancing
and revelry and WEAKNESS had 9
grasp on the town. But weariness
lost its grip amid the delights of the
play, and the interest which centered
upon the acting of those who had
been assigned leading parts. The
stars, by profession, who visit Palat-
ka theaters were never in the same
constellation with these young men
and women amateurs of Palatka.
The scene was a fashionable hotei
at Saratoga. Sir Charles Grandi;- =
well, foppish English baronet, makes
love to, and is accepted by, Clara Riv
ers, a rival of Pauline Western, the
reigning belle. Pauline, against hel
fathers wishes, is in love with Geo.
Ardent, poor young student, who Is
about to depart with our army to Mex
leo. Pauline introduces George to
her father under an assumed name
Captain Western presumes that Sir
Charles is in love with Pauline, and
Sir Charles, entering with Clara, is
made to declare love to Pauline.
Act II-Same place one year later.
Clara is lamenting the perfidious con-
duct of Sir Charles. Pauline is urg-
ed by her father to marry Sir Charles
at once, but refuses. While she is
dreaming of George a note falls at
her feet announcing his return. An
elopement is planned, but is frustrat-
ed by the appearance of Captain Wes-
tern, Sir Charles, Clara and guests.
A satisfactory explanation follows
and wedding bells are in the air"
The following was the cast of char
acters:
pauline Western" the Belle of Sar.
atoga, Miss Winnifred Haughton,
CLARA Rivers" her rival, Miss Belle
Welch; George Ardent" a student,
Mr.. Charles Anderson; "Sir Chas.
Grandiswell," an English tourist. MI.
]. E. Sullivan; Capt. Western" re-
tired, father of Pauline, Mr.. Charles
Oldfather.
Messrs. N. H. Moragne and Fred
Denton were assisting soloists, and
the chorus was composed of the fol-
lowing well-known vocalists:
Mrs. S. j. Hilburn, Mrs. Alston
Halle, Mrs. Charles Oldfather, Mrs.
Dana Walden, Misses Overstreet,
Howell, Anderson, Tilghman, LeBa.
ron, S. Moragne, A. Moragne, Munich,
Stallings, Ray, Higgins, and Messrs.
Denton, Canova, Appleby, Tilghman,

Hundreds of persons at Green Cove

between a hawk and snake that fl
nally ended on the earth when both
we're killed by man with club.
The hawk espying the reptile in the
grass, swooped down, burying its tai
ons in the body of the snake and
swiftly arose into the air. The snake
fought flercely, and finally in its con-
tortions, succeeded in coiling around
one wing of the hawk, pinning 1t to
the birds body. AS result after the
hawk had glided few moments both
tumbled to the ground from a heighth
of more than one hundred feet. The
whirling of the hawk and the squirm'
ing of the snake as it tried to reach
the wings of the bird in the air made
a thrilling spectacle seldom witness
ed. When they finally hit the earth
the shock stunned them and it was
an easv matter to dispatch both.
