cations playing under the Richmond

Tonight at the Blues .Armory To ar
rant' the various leagues as yet un-
formed. owing TO the fact that eight
last clubs have applied for berths in
the Federation League, the senior cir

league viii be split up into two four
team leagues.
As vet none Of the leagues have been
classified, as IL Is a hard proposition
- decide at the present time which
circuit is The fastest. So to avoid con-
tcntion amongst the various leagues
defer his action.
Baseball. as played under Federation
rules and contracts, is exactly 100 per
cent stronger than this time last year
Then the Federation on entering the
baseball field had to struggle for its
existence. SO hard did the rules deal

purely amateur players the Federation
soon received the public favor, and

close results in The two leagues.
THIS year, however. the Federation is
nrnlS "ntr-nchcd with it's former repu-
E.tion, and is determined Ia have its
teams pu; up the best article Of anna
teuI ball ever seen on local lots. And
with this end In view the different
managers are fast signing up the pick

IMPAssABLE STREETS

1t seems to the Star that the con-
tractors on the sewer work are not as
diligent as they should be in filling
the trenches and removing the piles
of earth from each side after the
pipe is laid and the work apparently
finished. Take South Second street,
for instance, from the railroad east
to Watula street. While the trench
has been filled, it is soft earth and
many vehicles have gotten into it,
some automobiles had great difficulty
to get out and were more or less in
jured and wagons had to be unloaded
before they could get out. If the
piles Of earth were removed from
either side of the street, vehicles could
at least pass through, but as it is, the
street had far better be closed and
SO marked, then no one would come to
grief in it. We respectfully call the
attention of the contractors to these
matters, and feel that as quickly as
possible, after the pipe is laid, the
trench should be filed, tamped and
surfaced, and the piles of loose earth
removed, at least from one side.

For some reason or other, probably
best known to itself, the Miami Her
aid is greatly exercised over the i'm
preston prevailing among a good
many Marion county people that the
arrest of Mrs. Washburn and her
friends was persecution. Although
Miami is about 300 miles from Ocala,
and the Herald's comments show it
has only partial knowledge of the
case, it has printed two long articles
about it. The Herald is a mighty
good paper in most ways, but we
never yet saw an article in it con-
demning the corporation interests, the
saloon interests or any of the other
organized agencies that oppose the
progress or debauch the lives of the
American people.

ever, he prefers to spend little more
money and buy all new material for
the road.
