Mr.. Hollis personal and business

Mr.. Hollis Letter
Jacksonville, Feb 10.

Jacksonville, Feb 10, 1914.
Editor Star: | have received
e copy of your paper which you cour-
teously sent me, and l am therefore
writing you this personal letter, I'M
der no circumstances for publica-
ton, as | do not care to be drawn
into public discussion answering any
Of ''Dixie's" customary attacks on
me.
The idea of suggesting that l fav-
ored negroes voting in democratic
primaries is so utterly absurd that it
is not worth a serious thought. Ne
groes are not going to vote in our
democratic primaries in Duval coun-
ty will tolerate such a proposition.
The letter which Dixie" publish
ed was one Of several hundred cir
cular letters which | sent out to bus
mess houses, urging them to register.
Among the lists which | turned over
to my stenographer TO write to, it
now develops contained the names
of three negro firms. | expect to
write a considerable number of other
letters along the same lines and
maybe some other negro firm will
get a letter from me. but it will be
just as unintentional as the one pub
hshed in the press.
The actual facts of the situation
as reported by the supervisor of reg
istration of this county, after this
canard was published. from the
actual count on his books, he states
there are $40 negroes registered up
- date out of about 5000 voters, Al
of which his books show have declar-
ed themselves as democrats, the bal
ance are registered as republicans.
| am not connected with Mr.. FLEET
cher's campaign this year in any
sense, and with reference to these
letters being written on city council
stationery, | have about eight differ
ent kinds Of letter heads in my Off
ces, and ny st-nographer just hap
pened to choose this particular kind,

When the farmers of this state
realize the immense amount of labor
that Senator Fletcher has devoted to
his rural credits bill, bill that aims
to place banking facilities within the
reach of every farmer of the country.
it will be hard to persuade them that
any new man could within any reas-
enable time secure so great a BEN
eft for them. The rural credits bill.
which will soon become a law, will
be an unanswerable argument for

RULES COMMITTEE
MEETS IN FRANCE

Lyons, France, June ga decision Of
considerable Importance to American
athletes wa sreached by the Interna-
tional Amateur federation committee
on rules, regulations, and records. BY
5 votes to l the committeeman reject
ed the American contention that there
should be no digout at the takeoff in
the broad jump. During the discussion
James e. Sullivan, president Of the
committee pointed out that the Amer
lean method was a guarantee against
injury to the athlete and had produced
the worlds finest broad jumpers. The
foreign delegates however, while ad-
hitting the facts, declared the digouC
to be essential and were disinclined to
change the methods to which they were
accustomed.
A few other differences Of opinion
occurred, at the meeting but the COM
mittee brought its work on rules to a
conclusion by passing all the athletic
rules suggested by Mr.. Sullivan with a
few alterations. For instance, in the
rule on u~prights, it was decided that
they shall not be moved at all. In
throwing events and the pole jump the
rule was made to read that If the i'm
plement breaks 1t shall be counted no
trial. AS 20 the marathon rule no at
PENDANTS or coaches are to be allowed
during h race while on account of
differences in the various grounds
steeplechase specifications are omitted
from the rule and are to De decided
upon by the committee before each
competition.
The next task Of the committee Is to
fix the specifications of a standard set
Of athletic instruments after inspect
ing models shipped to Lyons for ex-
animation by the congress and also to
investigate and draw up q list of
worlds records to be recognized by the
international federation.

EVERY GAME TN NORTHERN
POSTPONED YESTERDAY

Rain or wet grounds interfered with
every game In the Northern league
yesterday and the athletes had a day
on, In which to rest up and prepare
Tor the strenuous doings that are to
follow.
Every team in the Northern, with
n or two exceptions is strengthening
or planning on adding new material.
The Graingrowers' pitching staff is
still an uncertain quantity. Several
new men have been added but none of
them has had o chance to show much
as yet. 81
The new man for the tnfield whose
coming was foretold by The Forum
some time ago, will Join the squad In
a few days. He will probably play
third in place of Anderson, the work
of the little third baseman who gave
such promise with the Millers on their
spring training trip having proved
very unsatisfactory, both as a fielder
and with the stick. His work has
shown marked improvement of late
however and he may fight it out with
n Of the other inf1elders for a posi-
ton.
The new man will come from Mil
waukee in the American association
and is said to be an experienced in
fielder. This is what Is needed in the
inf1eld. One more mar who knows
the game and can hold his head in an
emergency will be a wonderful help in
steadying the work Of the inf1eld. AS

by Moore who was tried out this year

ing for Winona last year.

Fargo-Moorhead fans were impressed
with the fact that Lizette did not seem
to be able to get his team working to
their full strength when here, although
they did manage to get two out OF
three from the G~raingrowers. At that
time however the Fargo Moorhead
team had only one pitcher whose arm
was not sore. All the other fingers
were practically unfit for work.

material and making many changes

CAPABLANCA

May Strand: Six or seven years ago.
When ,Capablanca was a student at

would frequently stroll up town and
drop in at the Manhattan Chess club

World-which a its quarters in the
GaTnegle building. In Difference to his
fathers wishes he was not an actual
member, but he was always very well
come. Here he frequently met Lasker
and other masters in play. His modest,
amlable and retiring disposition made
him many friends. He was generally
"Cappa" to his intimates.
A faVorite form Of play on these oc-
caslons was "rapid-transit" games,
Wnere a considerable number of boards
are in use and the timeKeeper regulates
the play to say, a move in 20 seconds.
In this rapid play C~apablanca was al
ways very successful, making his
o almost instantly, and removing
his attention from the board while his
opponent was deep in his analysis Of
the position. This cas- manner Of play
IS very characteristic of the young
cuban. Sometimes he would play a
NUMBER OF games simultaneously. He
is, undoubtedly, n Of the most popu-
lar players we have ever had, and his
presence at the Manhattan Invariably
attracted a small crowd of members
as spectators. His analytical remarks
on some game under discussion were
always interesting and Instructive, and
ne is a rapid solver Of problems. In
TINS clubs in a glass case, are preserved
the board and gold and silver chess
men that were presented to Paul Nor
ply by his countrymen on his return
from Europe. One cannot help think
ing that the boy Capablanca must often
have regarded these relics with spec
ial interest, for 1t is hardly necessary
to say that he Is a great admirer Of
Morphy's brilliant gifts.
