Wilson Takes the Oath
as Chief Magistrate in
View of Vast Throng

Full of color and animation was the
scene Of the swearing in of the new
President. Stretching along the east front
of the Capitol. between the projections
of the Senate and House wings, the vast
amphitheater seemed to be overfOwing
with humanity. Except in the seats
served for members of Congress and
other officials of the federal government,
there appeared to be a preponderance of
femininity. The rainbow colors of the
gowns and hats and furs worn by the
women who had been given access to the
600 and more seats on that platform lent
special brilliance to the gathering, and
the beauty of the picture was enhanced
by the gold and glitter of the uniforms
and regaIia of the members Of the diplo-
matte corps and army and naval Off
GERS.
Hours before the President and Presi-
dent-elect were to emerge from the ro-
tunda exit and make their way to the
small raised platform at the center of
the east front of the amphitheater the
crowds began to gather. The places of

By noon the wide plaza was densely

were no small number of the feminine
sex who ventured to occupy standing
room during the long wait before the
actual ceremonies. In the special pho
tographers' stand, in the center OF the
plaza directly opposite the Inauguration
platform was placed long before noon

FAIR FLORIDA.

Fair Florida, Land of Flowers,
Grassy dales and leaty bowers,
Land Of the lille and rose
Where the orange md citron grow.
Land where South winds blow,
Free from ice and snow;
Land of showers and sunshine,
Dear home of mine.
Land of palmetto and pine,
Of fruits and vine,
Amidst which to spend happy hours
With singing birds and fowers.
Land of sunny skies,
Where time never flies;
But fingers by lake and stream,
Bathed in suulight's golden gleam.
To wander by lake and stream,
On which to drift and dream,
Gently flowing onward ever,
Brooklet and mighty rivers.
Land by ocean bound,
Where health and wealth abound;
A joyous summer land,
OF sea grit, cliff and coral strand.
A broad, bounteous land,
OF hilldale and shining sand,
Country of most fertile soil,
Teeming with multiform gift of God.
; Land of Eternal youth,
Flower-decs, SUI kissed queen CT
the South;
Land of heaven blest.
In which to live, love, work aud rest
This is true poem of Florida which
I would be greatly obliged tt
you if you will publish it along with

Letter From Florida.

The weather is fine in Florida
these days. We have had one
of the warmest winters we have had
in a number of years. The cabbage
crop is fine but it will not pay to
gather them. This means that the
crop will rot in the field. Oranges
are not all shipped yet. They will
finish up about the middle of Maj ch.
There are about $50 acres in tomatoes
around Wildwood and the crop is
fine. Shipments to northern mai kets
are being made daily.

WALTER JOHNSON IS
LEADING FIELDER
Nationals 'HurIer Has Perfect
Average and Tops All Others
in the League.

Walter Johnson led all the pitchers OF
the American League in fielding his
position. going through fifty-one games
without a bobble, but he was the only
member of his team to achieve this
honor. George Mcbride had a good
season in the field. coming four points
behind Heine Wagner. the Red Sox
shortfielder. whose mark was .sS5 in
los games.
The Mackmen led in fielding with a
mark of .965. The Nationals were sixth
with 800. In l55 games there were I2j
double plays. triple play. "a passed
balls. 4.1S9 putouts, 2.076 assists. and
262 errors.
Mcbride was in one game less than
Weaver. the White Sox shortstop. and
two less than DOME Bush. Mcbride s
greatest rival at shortstop. At second
base, Frank Laporte. one time utility
man for the Nationals, gets fourth
place. Cutie" Carville Morgan. the
Baltimore lad, finished eleventh.
Among the first basemen. Chick Can
dill landed second. just behind Connie
Mack's crack. "Stuffy" McInnes, who
got .992. Just TO show how versatile
he is. Gandil was able 10 make los as
sists, which is something like twenty
better than Hal Chase. considered the
best ground coverer at the initial sack.
AS a second sacker In his old posi-
ton, Dutch" Schaefer failed to set the
world afire, standing down near the bot
tom of the substitute second basemen
Frank Laporte, in his stay at third
base when Eddie Foster went into the
hospital. got a mark of 955 and landed
second berth.
Howard Shanks was a real second In
the outfielders. In 1o9 games the
Monaco Marvel, managed to grab all
but five of the chances offered. Shanks
picked of five runners with assists.
Clyde Zebulon Milan, while he caught a
number of flies. also drew the BOBBY
prize with Danny Moeller. Both of

Just what Merito Acosta, the wee

In these five games Acosta reached
first base ten times, five times on hits,
three on free passes, and twice On
errors. His fielding is the talk of the
town. The boy collected his .294 aver
age off such singers as Yingling, Ragon
and Wagner the Brooklyn clubs twirl-
ers. The quoted average is only for his
work against Brooklyn.
