confidently expected the resignation
of Huerta almost momentarily, ana
that he would turn over the govern
ment to Foreign Minister Carbajal.

cate that he expects to make a quick
departure.

trying to effect a transfer of power

to a conference with Huerta's repre-
sentatives, demanded a direct union
under the Mexican authorities at the
capital. He guaranteed the resi-
dents lives and property.
The United States government has
announced that it would not interfere
in any way with the military cam
paign, and will not recognize the con-
3tit~utionalists if the capture of Mex

FINE BUNCH or ocALA BOYS
ARE WITH US

! Ocala came down, like a wolf on
, the fold" last night, and the baseball
! boys in the crowd were out bright
and early in uniform, practicing for
the big game this afternoon. They
! have evidently heard of the prowess
fof the far-famed Clearwater team.
Whatever Clearwater sentiment
may be toward Ocala from a baseball
standpoint there is no discount on
| the welcome which is extended to the
! Young men and older men who have
! come down, as individuals. They are
a bunch of royal good fellows, n
we're glad they are here. Clearwater
! will belong to them this week, n
| every man, woman and child in town
, will be ready to do everything posi-
BILE to make them enjoy their stay.
And they expect to do it. One of the
boys said this morning: 1--WE always
have had a good time before and we
expect to this year."
Baseballically speaking, however,
the Ocala boys were not speaking
; much today. They "ha' hopes" but
are not saying much about it. The
, Sun representative asked a bunch of
/ them this morning how many games
they had played, to which one of
them replied, Twelve or fifteen"
The reporter hesitated a moment, not
| desiring to PROFOUND a question that
might prove embarrassing, and Frank
Harris, being a newspaper man HIM
self, and therefore given to strict tell
ing of the truth, spoke up and said:
Il don't think we have won any games
yet, have we?" Up spoke another
member of the team to the rescue of
Ocala's bedraggled baseball b~~F
and claimed that three games had
been on the win side.
Here's the truth about the matter:
There is a laundry in Ocala which
washes the suits every time the team
wins a game. The uniforms became
so dirty along the early part of the
season that the boys stood up out in
the rain one day to get some OF the
mud off. They won a game on the
Fourth of July, however, SO that they
will have a quite presentable appear
ance during their stay in Clearwater.
There were sixteen in the crowd
that came down last night, fourteen
being members of the team. Several
more Ocalaites are expected during
the week, bringing the number of our
visitors up to twenty-five or thirty.
The proper hospitality toward u
guests from Ocala this week does not
include permitting them to win any
of the ball games. OF course, some
terrible accident might happen that
will give them one or two of the
games, but such a calamity is not an
ticipated by the unbeaten bunch of
Clearwater FASTENERS. 1t is so very
pleasant to say that we have
been beaten yet that Clearwater will
hardly be satisfied with anything less
than a thousand per cent, on the Sc
ries next week. That's why the whole
town is going to close up shop and
attend the games.-Clearwater Sun.
