LAKELAND'S REMARKABLE
PROGRESS IN PAST YEAR
HER RECORD FOR BUILDING AND IMPROVEMENT UNSURPASSED
BY THAT OF ANY CITY OF HER CLASS IN THE
COUNTRY

Coast Line recently announced their
plans for the expenditure of $780,
600 in new buildings and other i'm
provements at Lakeland. This in ad-
dition to the already large invest
ment they now have here. A cold
blooded corporation does not spend
money in community without be-
ing first absolutely assured of that
community's future.
AS another evidence of Lakeland's
marvellous progress we may call at
tention to the fact that although an
average of one residence day has
been maintained in the building of
homes for the housing of our people
during the year, it is almost impos-
sible to rent one today and many
people are crowded in furnished
rooms and hotels awaiting compile
tion Of houses now under way.

1910, which gave us a population of
3,714, this has been doubled and the

WILL DEFEND HIS
TITLE TONIGHT
Bantamweight Champion Meets
Young Siinnet in Scheduled
Ten-Round Bout at Racine.
By Tad

II ACME. WIS, Jan. 2I.-Johnny
n Coulon. bantamweight cham
pion of the world, will be
asked to defend his title tonight.
Johnny is scheduled to meet Young
Sinnet, youngster in the game. and
the bout is billed to go ten rounds.
The scrap Is expected to prove a
good try-out for the champion, who
has been out of the game for over
six months. Johnny, however, states
that he is now ready to defend his
laurels and Is out to prove tonight
that he is as good as ever
Coulon has been working hard for
the past two weeks, and fans who
have watched him train claim that
johnny looks every part the cham
pion he is. The stocky little fellow
has the same red color in his face
that he had in the days of his ring
battles with Burns, Conley and the
rest.
Although not much is known of
Sinnet, the youngster comes with
good reputation from Chicago. Sin
net has not had many battles in his
career but he is said to be a young
ster with very much class. He will
be handled by Tommy Walsh or
Nate Lewis
The boys have agreed to make 1t6
pounds ringside. but neither will have
any trouble making the poundage.
Johnny says he tips the beam at ia

{. MURPHY FOR
RISE Of FEDS
Manager Says Chicago Magnate
Has Done More to Hurt Base
ball Than Any Other Man,
/ w. Murphy is responsible for
the organization of the Fed

Us ANGELES, JAN -I.- CndfIeS
W. Murphy is responsible for
the organization of the Fed
eral League. The president of the
Chicago National League club is to
blame for the large number of ma
jor league baseball players who are
jumping to the outlaw organization.
These statements were made last
night by Frank Chance. manager of
the New York American League club
and formerly manager of the Chi
cago Cubs.
Charley Murphy" said Chance,
has done more to hurt baseball than
any other man who has been in the
game and he is going to continue to
be an Objectionable figure just so long
as he is allowed to have any con-
nection with any club.
"A lot of my friends said ] was
crazy two years ago when | sold my
stock in the Chicago National
League club. sold my interest for
$40, 900, and fifty persons who knew
me we'll came to me and remon-
strated at what they termed rash
and foolish act.
81 HAPPENED to know few things
L that they did not know. That is
why | sold out and got as far away
from Murphy as possible.
Here is little secret that shows
why | was able to hold Murphy in
restraint as long as / did without an
open rupture. | had two contracts
with Murphy. One was to play first
base. The other was to manage the
team.
Charles Weeghman, one of the
hackers of the Chicago Federal
League club. was for years an ar
dent Cub rooter. He soured on Muir
ply just as thousands of other pa
irons of the Cubs park.
UTIIS is the way Murphy handles
ball players. When Evers was
in poor health one spring Murphy
found out that he would not be able
to play the entire season. He wired
me while the team was in Pittsburg
saying that he did not believe Evers
should draw his pay for that season.
/ would not stand for giving Evers
a raw deal Of that sort and Johnny
got every dollar of his salary for the
season. He only played Few games
that season.
Brown and Tinker who have gone
to the Federal League, were both
badly treated by Murphy

ORGANIZED BASEBALL.

ORGANIZED BASEBALL.
Organized baseball is form Of phi
Ianthropy instituted for the purpose Of
keeping the wolf from the club own
er's door.
In the last ten years the wolf has
not approached within twenty seven
miles of the club owners door. This
is due 20 the fact that wolf once met
a club owner. The wolf now hesitates
to approach within hailing distance OF
the owners door, lest the owner come
out and inveiele uim into buying a
gold brick.
Organized baseball has kept the
player in the bonds of slavery. 1t has
arasped him out of foundry, where
he has been shcveline black sand for
$2.72 per diem, and shanehaied him
to a cruel hotel in Florida, where the
barbarous waiter leaves few seeds
in the grapefruit and the night clerk
raises a supercilious smile when you
inform him that there was no rose.

We feel for the ball -iayer who has
been trapped into organized baseba II.
He is a slave for life. All he can do
is to qambol around for approximate
ly three hours every day at bank
presidents salary and be housed in
hotels where he is treated as COM
mon millionaire.
Then there is the dark side to TINS
ancier who had thrived for years on
the theory that a yokel could not des-
ienate the particular shel under
which the little pill was hoIdin~ forth
at that time.
He throve and throve on the yokeIs
until he waxed rich. Whereupon a
stranger approached him, saying: -

would sell at cost price
But the three shell man answered
him, saying: Lay off, kind sir; ] am
willing TO separate a mar from his
kale. but don't believe in walking
on his esophsgus while ! do It!'
The report that George Wiltse has
refused a Federal League offer will be
news to George when he returns 70
America on or about March 8.

is due to the fact that neither had a

The battle started and Cross tore
right at me. He looked like a man in
