OCALA HAD THE FIRST
BIG LEAGUE EVENT

The dispatch from ST. Petersburg
yesterday, announcing that the first
big league baseball game in Florida
would be played between the Browns
and the Cubs in that city Feb. 81,
was an error and should cause the
man who sent it in to look up his
baseball history. The first game of
baseball between two big league
teams in Florida was Brooklyn and
Philadelphia in the spring of 1891,
when the Brooklyn team under
Johnny McGraw was in this city. The
Star is indebted for this information
to that baseball veteran, Mr.. Geo.
X. Robinson

Proving That ciphers Are Dangerous

arose, communications could be easy
and private. Fate willed otherwise.
About eight o'clock one evening a
messenger brought a cablegram to
Mr.. Rice's door. 1t was the day for
his wifes ship to arrive on the other
side. He opened the envelope and
read the yellow slip inside. "Pota.
toes fish," was all it said.
Turning to his key, he discovered
that potatoes" meant, 81 have arrived
safely after good trip. All is well"
But fish" signified Seriously i'll.
Come by next steamer"
Perplexed, he reread the message,
and verified the translation. The
same conflicting statements resulted.
What should he do? In desperation
he cabled back, Repeat"
After an hour of waiting, the boy
again rang the bell and presented an
envelope. The message ran this time,
"Ships fish,"
Translating this cryptogram, he
found that ship" was the cipher for

London two weeks" Fish still had its
original sinister significance.
This was as bad as the first. Fear

correctly, he despatched another mes.

It was now eleven o'clock. He
waited in nervous expectation till mid
night, and then turned in and tried to
sleep. No sooner had he dropped off
than another message arrived, as puz-
cling and as contradictory as the first.
Moved to desperate means, he got up,
dressed, went to the office, and wrote
out this communication:
Dear Annie. When you get this
message, take a spade hire carriage,
and ride out to an open field. Then
dig hole and bury the code.

Send that" he said to the bewild-
cred operator.

firmly. "I'll pay for it"
