Mr.. Lex of Palatka umpired the
game
Patriotic Railroad Man
The conductor of the 0caIa North
ern train was watching the game and
said he would not leave until the
game was over, so it was half past
six when the train pulled out.
Happy Time. on the Way Home
The friends of both teams did
their full share in cheering the boys.
The train was in charge of Conduc-
tor Ernest Spencer and Engineer
Mayer. There were several on the
train who had thought of providing
lunch boxes for supper but there
was not enough for all. Mr.. Cham
bliss discovered that he was hungry
and when he spoke of it it reminded
the rest of them that they were too,
$50 Capt. Spencer very obligingly
said he would give them all chance
to obtain something in the edible
| line at Kenwood. Upon arriving
there, about eight or ten of the pas
sengers ran across the street to the
store and must have ratified the mer-
chant by their big demands on his
canned and package goods in such a
hurry. Finally the signal Of "all
aboard" was given and there was a
scurry to scramble on the train. En-
gineer Mayer, thinking that his pas
sengers were serenely enjoying their
purchases started his engine and the
train was we'll under way when
there was great shouting Of They
are left" and the signal was given
to stop. The engineer evidently
thought it was a joke and kept on so
Conductor Spencer had to do all
sorts of running and climbing stunts
to reach the engine cab and stop the
train. During all this time Messrs.
Jake Gerig and Jake Brown were
doing Marathon. Both had their
arms full of various packages until
they looked like Santa Clauses, run
ming down the track. At first Mr..
Brown was in the lead, then Mr..
Gerig overlook him, and they sailed
down that track in way that would
have done Justice to professionals
A dozen pair of friendly hands as
sisted them aboard the train and re-
ieved them of their packages, and
Mr.. Gerig wiped his brow and said,
Gee, but that was fierce and Mr.
Brown came in and said, Did you
say it was warm
Mr.. Brown said it was not a fair
race, for he was in the lead, and Mr.
Gerig asked to help him with some
of his bundles and then lit out
ahead. When asked why they were
left Mr.. Gerig said he was opening
q can of sardines, but it is rumored
that the merchant was trying to sell
out to him. The gentlemen received
great applause and congratulations
and the engine was allowed to con-
tinue its way home without further
trouble
Those who were on the train in
the morning were the members of the
Ocala baseball team, Mr. and Mrs.
Bell, Mr.. and Mrs. McMercry, Mrs.
Fred Vogt and baby, Miss Josie Bull
lock, Misses Clifford and Mildred
Pyles, Miss Virginia Sistrunk. Miss
Martha Kate Rentz, Miss Blair
Woodrow, Mr.. d. s. Woodrow, Mr.
J D. Mcdonald, Prof and Mrs. J. H.
Brinson, Mrs, Mae Bingham, Messrs.
z. c. Chambliss, Jake Brown, Bruce
Maffert, E. c. Bennett. Hansel Leav-I
engood, Laurie Benjamin, Jake Gold
man, Jim Duffy, Frank Carlyle, John
Taryer, G. W. Martin and Mrs
Bridenthal and many others the re-
porter did not know
Mr., Gerig said the great trouble
was that there were too many
'Jakes" at the ball game. The Pa
latka pitchers name was Jake, and
when some one would call out for
Jake" both Mr.. Jake Gerig and Mr..
Jake Brown would rise up and look
at each other. only to discover that
they were not the ones wanted.
