The Memorial A. C. Run.

As has been pointed out in these COL
umns before. the Memorial Athletic
Club. in holding, February s, an I'M
sanctioned run and defying the South
Atlantic division of the Amateur Ath-
lctic Union. has probably bitten off more
than il can chew.
Asked last night what his particular
grievance against the Amateur Athletic
Union happened to be, President Foley,
of the Georgetown organization, replied:
Our club is sore on the Amateur Ath-
letic Union for the reason that we have
never been given a square deal in long
distance races held in Baltimore. These
events have been settled before the
race, and our men have received scant
courtesy over there. Protests have been
thrown into the waste basket, and the
best we ever get is the worst of it"
Mr.. Foley believes that the Memorial
Athletic Club run will be a success and
that before many months have passed
every athlete in Washington will Join
the local amateur federation and ignore
the Amateur Athletic Union.
ITO prove that the Amateur Athletic
Union is a joke" added Foley, how
about the Thorpe case?''

Noted Indian Athlete Interviewed at

Several Offers.

Carlisle. Pa. Jan. 2S-James Thorpe
the worlds greatest athlete. who was
seen-at the Carlisle Indian School to-day
regarding the action OF the Amateur
Athletic Union in declaring him a pro-
fessional, he said that, although he I'M
derstands now that he was guilty OF a
technical violation of athlete proprieties
he was glad that all OF his friends around
here knew that he had never been a pro-
fessional in spirit.
Thorpe referred to A number of re-
markably good offers that had been made
TO him by baseball arrangements, and
that he had refused. as he preferred to
continue as an amateur along the lines
OF track and field work which he really
enjoyed.
He declared now, however, he will
turn to baseball. but said most positively
that he had come to no decision as to
what club he will play with.

Comment.
AFRAID OF GOING STALE
By WILLIAM PEET.

Buzz" Foster, the Nationals diminu-
tive third-saCker, is about the only MEM
Der of Griff's official family who has not
been extensively featured in the local
press during the present stove league
season.
In a letter to a Washington friend
Foster is grieving over the fact that no
matter how strictly he follows the advice
Of his family physician, he has thus far
been unable to take on weight. Last
spring he reported seven pounds heavier
than normal and was happy. This ad-
vantage, according to the midget, was a
god-send, for he mad something to take
of and went TO work with vengeance.
Now he means the Discrimination of his
physique to assume rotundity, as there
will be no weight to extract, and fears

Foster halls from Chicago. He is a
product of the sand lots of that city, and
every time the Nationals played there
last summer his friends presented him
with a suit case or a gold watch. The
chicago sport writer's dubbed him the
suitcase king before the season closed.
No player on the Washington team
was better liked by his colleagues or
more popular with the majority OF fans
than Eddie Foster. and he deserves all
NE good things showered upon him.
W men the ISL season CLOSED IN New
York and GriG asked the boys how many
wanted to sign their contracts for next
car. Foster was the first to step for
ward. He was perfectly satisfied with the
terms, and said: I'm glad that's over
now l won't have to bother about it this
winter
Griff nodded third baseman out Of
Foster. who had never played that posi-
ton before, and the hot corner was well
taken care OF all season. At pulling off
the hit-and-run with Danny Moeller on
the sacks, Foster was a marvel. 1t was
almost uncanny, the manner in which the
midget sliced the ball through an I'M
guarded spot, invariably advancing Noel
Ter TO third. This precious pair. when
things were breaking good, put more
than one game Of ball on ice for the
Nationals last year.

Juarez, Mexico. Jan. 2s.-Gold of Ophir
captured the handicap this afternoon and
incidentally equaled the track record for
seven furlongs. The winners time was
1:24 2-5. Gold of Ophir was third choice
in the speculation. Robbins gave the
mare her head without delay. and she
raced close up with Daddy Clip. who set
a dazzling pace. The latter tired in the
final sixteenth, where Lack Rose moved
up with a rush. Gold OF Ophir. however.
hung on gamely and lasted long enough
to take the purse by a nose. Lack Rose
beat Sea Cliff for the place by a very
short margin.
The purse race resulted in another close
finish for first money when Upright and
Seneca finished noses apart Fast time
was hung up in this event, the six fur
longs being run in liz 2-5.

Results in Score of

The Aloysius five lowered the colors OF
the Y. NJ. C. 4. Regulars in the for
mer's sym last night by 81 to 10.
The game was fast and clearly played
from beginning to end, notwithstanding
that the score would make it appear
one-sided.
The clubmen went into the contest de-
termlned 10 win and never let up a
minute.
The AloysIus teams reversal is due
mostly to being well coached. as their
passing and guarding was machine-like
in precision.

picked for especial ability, as the team
played as a unit.

MARION COUNTY MEN
Interested in Pablo Pier and Hotel
Company in the State
Metropolis

Times-Union, 18th: An important
meeting OF the directors and officers
OF the Pablo Pier and Hotel Company
was held yesterday in the Jackson
Vile offices, 10 Bisbee building
which was followed by session of
the stockholders.
The meeting was the first to be
held since securing the state charter
from Tallahassee and as a result all
of the work done under the temper
airy organization was properly ap-
proved and ratified. In this connec-
ton, the letting of the contract for
the construction of the S00-foot re-
inforced concrete pier to the F. NJ.
Richardson Company and all of the
sub-contracts were approved.
Report was made that test pier
was sunk at Pablo Beach, following
the making of soundings by the en-
gineers. This pier was subjected TO
a much heavier load by many tons
than will ever be required and when
many days later exact measurements
were taken, it was found to have
settled only very small fraction of

REMARKS FROM
MAYOR ROBERTSON

Thanks His Friends for Their Sup
port and Promises to Continue his
Efforts in Behalf of the City
To the Citizens and Voters of Ocala:
At the appropriate time, as requir
ed by the general and special cleo
ton ordinance of the city of Ccala,
there has been presented to 5e city
council of Ocala petition signed by
voters of the city, requesting me to
become a candidate for the office of
mayor to succeed myself, and | &C
cept the nomination.
l feel greatly honored that SO large
a number of voters have requested
me to become a candidate, and assure
them that, if elected will during the
ensuing term, a sin the past, eXer-
else an untiring zeal and vigilance in
an endeavor, SO far as may be with
in my power, to see that the citizens
vi
impartial deal in all municipal mat
tiers.
| most sincerely thank the Young
Mems Democratic Club for their en-
dorsement; at the same time l wish
to say that the election ordinances Of
the city of Ocala require that the
nomination of candidates for office
shall be by petition, and it does not
appear that any symptoms of racial
difficulties do or will exist in this
election OF city officers: in fact,
there has not been even any excite
ment on the subject until after the
petition requesting me to become
candidate was presented to the coun-
Gil | do not, therefore, appove of
the primary method Of nomination, as
it does not appear to be the proper
or legal way, neither does it appear to
be necessary at this time by reason
of any racial problems.
| feel the deepest gratitude for the
honor bestowed upon and the conf
dence reposed in me by the citizens
and voters of Ocala in the past, and
have at all times earnestly endeavor-
ed to properly serve their and the
city's best interests. Perhaps it may
be true that a few citizens have dis
approved of my action in refusing to
sign the remaining $4,000 of the
100000 issue Of bonds for the pur-
pose of purchasing the water works,
but the plant and water works was
purchased at less than $4,000, and
there was at that time no necessity
whatever for the issuing and signing
of the remaining $4,000 of such
bonds, and whenever there is such
project for the improvement of the
water works it will be ample time to
sign the remaining bonds, as no
doubt funds could be quickly realized
on same. | feel that my attitude in
this matter is absolutely correct and
to the best interests of the city and
citizens thereof.
Respectfully,
J. D. ROBERTSON.
