already received IN the DaSeDau con-
test canVassing the returns is going
to be a real, outstanding job. And
they have just begun to drop in, as
the time limit for replies does not
expire until March 10.
The winners will be announced in
both editions of The Day Book, Sat
urday, March 10. The hoodoo date
viii be lucky for some fellows.
Despite his superiority over all con-
tenders in ten-round bouts, Mike
Gibbons of st. Paul can hardly be
considered the middleweight ring
champion. For the simple reason
that Mike declines to engage in
twenty-round bouts.
He says he believes he could whip
either McGOorty or Clabby over the
long trip, but sees no reason to en-
gage in such an encounter. Mike
goes on to explain that he has never
gone over II rounds for any man and
doesn't intend to alter his program
at this date.
Later he may change his mind and
try a derby crack at one Of the lead
ing contenders, but that is very much
in the future.
No real champion can be acclaimed
on the basis of ten-round superiority.
Even Freddie Welsh, the ten-roUnd
king, had to go twenty frames to get
the title, and fandom generally does
not recognize a crown that isn't won
in a regular fight. Even Welsh's
crown is somewhat furnished because
it was gained by mere decision and
not a knockout.
Gibbons in his fight with McGoorty
)lainly showed that he can whip
any middIeweight in ten rounds. But
it is doubtful if he could maintain his
dazzling speed for twice that dis
lance. McGoorty was growing
stronger toward the close of the Hud-

cLARENDON-oRM BASE
BALL GAME POSTPONED

The Clarendon rmond baseball
game which was scheduled to take
place at the latter place today has
been postponed until Saturday after
noon. at 3:15 p. NJ.
Both clubs are composed of clerks
from the two big hostelrics, many of
the players having been associated
at some time or another with pro-
fessonal organizations in different
parts of the country, and retain much
of their old time vim when pitted
against each other on the diamond.
Neither team lacks for rooters, and
it is expected that an unusually large
crowd will turn out on Saturday to
see the game, which will be the third
of series, both of the former games
having been won by the Ormond boys
with close margins.
Reservations for transportation by
must be made early so as
enough cars can be provided to
accommodate all who wish to witness
the game.

G. Fl. Faatz and G. S. Dickey, who
have been guests at the Clarendon

pecting to go as far as Miami before

to report, Messrs. Faatz and Dickey
are the men who originally introduced
the famous game of Kelly POOL at
the Clarendon. which is rapidly
gaining in popularity all along the
east coast. There is much rivalry
between the two men, as to who Is
the best pocket billiardist, and while
Mr. Faatz SAYS he can defeat Mr..
Dickey at any stage of the game,
the latter says, like Kellycan.

OCALA SOCIAL AFFAIRS
Thought for the Day

Every failure is step to success;
every detection Of what is false di-
reefs US towards what is true; every
trial exhausts some tempting form Of
error. Not only so. but scarcely any
attempt is entirely a failure; scarcely
any theory, the result of steady
thought, is altogether false; no tempt
ing form of error is without some la
tent charm derived from truth
