RIOTERS GOING TO
BREWSTER TOMORROW

Our champions will invade foreign
soil tomorrow and try to annex an
other victory from the Brewster team
at that place From all reports
this little town is a live ore and
visitors are treated in the right way
to make them feel at home. Though
the diamond is not as fast as ours,
an excellent grandstand graces the
park and the Phosphate Co. who sup
port the ball team, are more than
! liberal, charging no admission to the
grounds. We have played one game
with this team, winning it by a
score of six to two Lakeland has
! been accused OF being afraid to go
away from home for fear they will
get beat If the champs get beat
tomorrow it will take a good team to
do it. Spivey who is soiournlng in
the cool waters at Pass-G-Grille, will
not be with the locals, but his place
will be filled by one of our new play
ers who arrives tonight, Nj. Van
I,andingham, an all-around man
that can fill any position. Gillespie
will probably pitch and Nerigan take
the left field garden. There will be
4 nice bunch of rOoters leaving in
cars around noon time and all those
who have not prepared to so, get
busy, for we want at least one hun
dred strong. Twentyone miles over
the road, via Mulberry, good road
from here to Mulberry, and no
chance for a blow out from there on
C. GREEN.

.ELKS AND BAND TEAMS
GROSS BATS" WEDNESDAY

The two things most in the pub
lie eye at this time are the European
war and the gigantic struggle sched-
uled to take place on Wednesday be-
tween the ball team of the Lake
land Elks and that of the Lakeland
Band, at the Athletic Field. 1t is
probable that on Wednesday ali ar
mistice will be declared by all the
European bellieerents, in order that
the attention OF the universe may
be centered on the mortal combat be-
tween these rival opponents Of the
national game.
Both clubs are confident Of victory
and both have been trained to the
limit, and the contest will be for
blood and money Seriously, the
game promises to be a very interest
ing one, and as both sides have a big
continent OF partisans, there will
doubtless be a record-hreakine at
tendance, and the biggest exhibition
of roofing that has been seen or
heard this season.
The proceeds will be divided be-
tween the fund for the band stand
and the Elks' charity fund
