ONLY ONE week BEFORE COLONIES
ENGAGE IN EXHIBITION GAMES
making their annual invasion O
the United States.

making their annual invasion of
the United States.
The Reds begin this week with a
series Of games in Tampa and st.
Petersburg. They have developed
players like Marsans, who is a sub
ject of litigation in the baseball
suit now in the federal court, Sieglie,
who is with the Philadelphia Ma :
tionals, Almeida, major Lacquer
several years ago; Palmero. now
with the Giants; Acosta, an out
fielder for the Washington Ameri &.
cans and other stars.
From this list of teams it can be
seen at glance that not another
town in Florida not excepting
Tampa, St. Petersburg, or Jackson :
vile. will have anything on Lake :
land when it comes to class in the
exhibition games. The teams SEIZED
uled are Of the highest rank in their
class and the fans Of Lakeland will
see this spring what devotees Of the
national game pay heavily to see in
the larger cities of the country this
| summer.
That Lakeland is enthusiastic on
the subject of baseball is evident
from the .praiseworthy move of it's
leading men in getting baseball
club to train within its confines this
spring. But the task of promoting
the interest in these spring games,
which deserve the support of all
fans, should not be left to the few
men who worked so hard to get the
club to train here. Everyone inter
ested in the welfare of Lakeland and
who appreciates what the coming of
the best teams In the country to play
here means, should be out roofing
for the Colonies who constitute the
home team. The Colonies are the
representatives of Lakeland and
need the cheering that the Lakeland
fans can give them in their efforts
to win here.
Not a bad idea would be for the
merchants who are promoting this
enterprise to circulate a petition
calling for closed stores on the af
ternoons of the big games, so that
everyone who feels SO inclined can
get out to root for the Colonies
This would insure united support o.
the team, which 1t needs no LEST
than do the progressive leaders o.
, civic enterprise in Lakeland.
