CRESCENT CITY NEWS

Chas. B. Morrow has gone on
visit to Connecticut and other parts
of New England. He will also visit
Hon. VIM. Ryan at his home in Port
Chester, N. Y.
H. R. Roberts of Gainesville was in
the city last Friday representing tho
John Deere Plow Co. OF Atlanta. MIR.
Roberts is at the head of the United
Commercial Travellers in this section
Of Florida, and he tells us that the
boys in his council are planning an
excursion for some time next month,
and that if arrangements can be
made they may possibly come to Cres-
cent City by water. On his return
to Gainesville the matter will be TAX
en- up. Of course much will depend
on the ability of the committee in
charge of the proposed excursion to
secure the Crescent for the trip.
There will be some $50 on the eXcur-
sion, including travelling men and
their families.
A special meeting Of the town
council was held last Friday evening
to consider a proposition from the ].
B. McCrery Co. of Atlanta, for the
preparation of plans and making es-
Inmates for municipal water and
electric lighting plant. Some 20 or
more citizens were present. Alder
man |. F. Babers presided. The At
lanta company was represented by
Mr.. Pierce, who outlined a plan OF
procedure. In brief it was: "Fol
the sum of $500 his firm would pre-
pare the plans and brief system OF
electric lights and water plant. o!
this amount $50 in cash would be pay
able on delivery of the plans. II
event the town voted bonds for build
ing the plants the remaining $3.50 wal
to be paid. With the plans McCrer.
Co. would make an estimate of thu
cost of construction, which would b.
it's price for doing the work. Il
event bids were asked and some othe
firm obtained the contract for con
struction, then McCrery Co. was to b
paid per cent of cost, less the $50
fee for the estimates" There wa
apparent at the meeting unanlmlt
of feeling regarding the need of thes
improvements, and it was apparen
that the board of aldermen is anS
ious to grant them, though it is pos
sible that the board may not fall 10
the McCrery proposition. On motto
of Alderman Williams the cocntrat
,, drawn up by Mr.. Pierce is to be pass
ed upon by a Palatka attorney, MOI
thar likely Mr.. Hilburn, before an
, definite action is taken. On motto
of Mr.. Williams, plans for a sewer

: in the McCrery estimate.

Crescent City-St. Johns Park Game.
nv Laurie Maull, S. Ed

Fighting to the last ditch with that
old, neversay die spirit, Crescent
City came from behind and won an
uphill game from st. Johns Park
here last Thursday, by 10 to score.
Norton, famous as college pitcher,
was on the firing line for the locals,
and for the first few innings was as
wild as the average man trying to
land an egg against the kinky head
of a negro protruding through sheet
at a county carnival; but he soon set
tied down and had the parkers dong
the squirrel act and eating out OF his
hand. Norton pitched far better ball
than the score indicates, and had 1t
not been for miserable support on the
part of the local infelders, would have
held the visitors to much smaller
score. Crescent City's new second
baseman was the chief offender, with
three errors. Cash and EWers also
had an off day; in fact the whole In.
field at times resembled a bunch OF
old maids playing bean bag. Watts
and Nihoul were the bright partlcu-
lar stars for Crescent City, and be-
sides fielding their positions IN
scintillating manner, contributed five
of the locals twelve hits. Burnsed
pitched for the parkers and was hit
hard throughout. =,
The game rocked along until the
seventh inning with the score five tc
four in favor of the parkers. In the
eighth Crescent City enjoyed SEES
sion that was as juicy as a porter
house steak after steady diet o.
ham and eggs. At this point Burn
sed grabbed an airship and proceed
ed to give an exhibition of aeronaut,
les, and while he was soaring through
the clouds the noble crew of Hunte
showed six runs across the platter
In the ninth Norton eased up an
let the visitors score three runs, bu
when things began to look dangerous
he frightened up and retired the side
~ Yesterday the Crescent City, tear
was to go over to Welaka and pla
, that team on its home grounds.

Watts the best pitcher in the Hun

On the other hand Kinard pitched
shut-out ball and were it not for the
unfortunate errors, would have retir-

a big zero mark. He struck out 16

He is particular proud of his scout
ing ability, having discovered and

enormous price, and the Denver Doves
