Gilmore Should
Worry About Minors
(By HAL sHERIDAN.)


NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-If Presi-
dent Gilmore of the Feds is running
true to form, the baseball meeting
now in progress at Omaha is not wor-
rying him. The minor league mag
mates are trying to console each other
over the disastrous year which they
just closed and also searching for
subtle words that will generally ease
to the big league bosses the question
of what they are going to do about
it.
Gilmore has said that among the
few things he does not want are the
minor leagues scattered hither and
yon about the country. Why build
up a baseball system and have to
pay for players through draft or pur-
chase when organized ball will keep
up the system which may be raided
without spending cent? is the way
Gilmore figures.
II Gilmore doesn't want minors in
his organization, however, and organ
lied ball sacrifices them in the con-
tinued fight on the Feds it will be a
serious blow to the game. Long have
the big league magnates patted the
little fellows on the shoulder and told
them how they were the backbone Of
the game."~ Right now, however, the
heaviest blows are falling on the min
ors and II these "backbones" are to
be permitted to be broken, it will shut
off the supply of players for the ma
ior leagues and there will be scare
ity of material developed in the
bushes from year to year.
The minors do not expect to make
a great deal Of money at their gates,
but they do expect to realize on the
sale of stars they develop. II Gil
more is able to step and grab these
stars by giving them more money
than they could get from organized
ball, 1t is good night minor leagues.
And the Feds can afford to do this.
They can simply apply to the mans
salary an amount similar to that a
club Of organized ball would have to
put up for his purchase and not be
spending any more for the player
than some major league team would
be putting up.

Ticket Book Saved.

According to reports from Aztec
the ticket book, which was in the of
flee safe was about all the company
property that was saved when the
Denver 6 Rio Grande depot at Az
tee burned to the ground Monday
night between IL o'clock and mid
night. The fire is thought to have
been caused by defective flue. Sec
ton men, who first saw it, rushed to
the building and forced an entrance
through the door. The opening gave
the flames draft and they spread
with great rapidity. Everything in
the building was reduced to cinders
except the freight, baggage and ex-
press. Practically all records were
destroyed. Heroic effort on the part
of those who fought the flames was
responsible for the warehouse and the
freight cars nearby being saved.

Civic CIub Activities.

At the monthly meeting of the Civic
club held in the public library yester-
day afternoon, it was evident that the
nembers are not as anxious to have
new ordinances adopted by the COM
missioaers as they are to have old
onoa enforced. This applies especial
" to the ordinances governing the
disposition Of garbage. A score or
more alleys in the city attest to the
justice of the complaint made by the
ladies. The committee appointed at
the last meeting to determine the ad-
visibility Of establishing an open club
and rest room for women in the down
town district, reported they had met
with much encouragement and the
prospects for the organizations plans
TO materialize were very favorable.
At the next meeting steps will be tax

VIII be large attendance to perfect

has proven handicap to the organ

and so have failed to do their part
toward furnishing the finances.

Jacksonville was named for Gen.
Andrew Jackson as a compliment and

rendered to civilization in the Semi

progress or civilization in Florida but
for the work Of Andrew Jackson. Con-

hundred years ago, demanded the
services of brave and resolute man.
Gen Jackson was selected by the gov.

others to head the movement against
the Seminole Indians, who had been
terrorizing the territory for several
years and committing atrocities Of the
most brutal character.
In March, 1918, Gen. Jackson was
ordered to the site of the Seminole
War. He invaded East Florida, and
