Ebbets Blamed, For Poor Attendance At
 Contests in Newark 14 s.s.+ ;

T+ ie 1A weak excuse the Interna- fionaI Ieaeue officials are using for the faiIures.of the Newark team.

 This anotherAcase> where the out laws are blamed for conditions that they are not resp onsi b1e. for If the true facts were known members of the International circuit would state -tEats noor 4 business methods are to blame for Atne failure. of the team. Last season when Newark had one of e4best minor c1eaguefteanns in the country. Charles Ebbetts, who was a, part owneraof. the club, jumped in and picked out the cream of the talent for his Brooklyn @club.
 The Newark fans resented Ebbett s actions and there Is not a, city in the country that wouAdH not; kick and re- fuse to support a. team that is con trolled by outside forces. Ebbetts, within the Hast few seasons, has help ed the Feds more than any other man in the game, with the possible exception of Charlie Murphy. the former president of the Chicago Ma tional league club.
 Ebbetts' fEst break was to allow Tinker to geA away, his second one . was to pave tfe way for the invasion of the Feds in Newark. By showing his hand in the International league. \ Ebbetts soured the fans against him, and the result was that the outlaws saw the chance to do something. and immediately got onnthe job and put a ball club in the big%cfty in New Jer- sey. s<' The Feds may have <had something to do with the ruining of the New ark International league club, but ii the responsibility is placed where il
 belongs, the men higher up will find
 that it was Ezbbetts and his methods .thas twas the real cause.

RAY HEATING
 BEATEN IN 13
 INNING BATTLE

Smokey Joe' Wood of the Bos- ton Red Sox. who was reported to be 'a1l in'' at the beginning of the sea son, showed no ''has-been'' signs on the return of Bill Donovan and his fighting Highlanders to the Polo Grounds yesterday. Wood pitted his Heating .and after thirteen innings the Boston pitcher managed to gain the verdict by 4 to 3.
 One of the easiest ways to toss away a pitchers battle or an extra inning game is to hand out a free gift to the initial sack at the begin ming of the inning. This is what Heating did at the start of the thir- teenth yesterday, and the Red Sox quickly converted the pass into the winning run. The base on balls not only paved the way for the Red Sox victory but it showed the Yankees to the foot of the first division and moved the Red Sox into third place.
 Iris Speaker, the ''$18,OOO beauty was the first batter to face Keating in the thirteenth. Keating handed SoX the game.
 Speaker didn't tarry long at first, stealing second cleanly and going to third while two of the Highlanders were retiring Duffy Lewis, Dick Hob Htzel1 followed Lewis.
 Hob1itzell fooled all the wise ones by 1acing out a single and sending Speaker home with the winning tally.
 The 5000 fans that turned out to greet the High1anders pleaded with the Donovanites to start something in their half. But while they tried hard, Wood retired them without much trouble.
 Both Keating and Wood pitched wonderful ball after getting away to | a poor start.

MATTY GETS
 LAMBASTED BY
 BOSTON BRAVES

Boston, June 2-On their first stopy after leaving their home grounds, the Giants bumped into Don Carlos Pat rick Ragan, a young man they for merIy encountered quite frequently in the region of Ebbets Field, Brooklyn. It must be admitted that the Giants gained little by their collision with Don Pat.
 Ragan hurled them back with two hits and enabled the Worlds Cham pion Braves to cop an easy victory from the Giants, the score being z to O.. McGraw's former big ace, the venerable Chris Mathewson, was sac rificed to make a, new Brave holiday. It was one of the most severe lam hastings the old star. has ever taken in Boston.
 The Gants were absolutely at the mercy of Ragan and touched him in only one inning, the fifth. Robert son led off this session with a singo8 to left. Boston at that time led by only one run, and MerkIe tried tO sacrifice. He did. still better, as he beat out his bunt. It was New York's second and last hit.
 Artie Fletcher tried to get fresh with Nal Eason after he decided Fitz- patrick had swiped second in the sixth, and was chased from the yard, Eddie Grant, an old resident of Cam bridge, took his place.

Dr. Sexton, who made a success as baseball coach, has also been fired by Harvard.

sacola papers simply took it for
granted that everybody knows Smith
wick as well as he is known in PEN
sacola and the rest of West Florida.
Snithwick is a lawyer by profession
and a real estate man by choice, or
circumstance. He has conducted i'm
portant transactions and has been a
man of considerable affairs. He has
a large acquaintance over the state
and the southern portion Of Georgia,
and has hobnobbed with men of con-
sequence for many years. Then, per-
haps, better than all, Smithwick is
one of those clean, wholesome men
whom it is a pleasure to know. He
is loyal to his friends, generous, warm
hearted, despises vice and duplicity
and qualities as a leader for the
square deal. It happens generally
that a man of his type is too good
to get to Congress, for the reason
that he isn't small enough to stoop
to the tricks of the scheming poll
ticians, and there are some schemers
in the Third district of Florida. But
the district needs Smithwick, and will
be fortunate if he is chosen.-O Orlando

" 49, AA@D Ot0Etcu GoOmttIuuS--
Reference in these columns has
been made previously to the probable
candidacy Of Hon. F. A. Wood, of st.
Petersburg, for governor. 1t now
seems that Mr.. Wood has determined
to get into the race, and the manner
In which he goes about it is unusual
and viii command much attention. He
is sending out petitions fol. the vot-
ers to sign asking the governor to
call a special session of the leeisla-
ture for the purpose of "enacting
such laws as are necessary to place
all county officials upon a salary
basis" He argues that tie placing
of county officials on salary basis
win save $3.50 900 year TO the tax
payers. Mr.. Wood has undoubtedly
given much thought to the question
and is probably well informed on II.
We do not intend to discuss at this
time the merits of his conts ntion, but
merely to remark that Mr.. Wood has
started something that viii arouse

competitors had better look out and

Do the Best Under
the Circumstances.

Although the legislature provided
no funds for the proper enforcement
Of the law it enacted for the medical
examination Of school children, It is
pleasing TO know that the Florida
State Board of Health has decided
to do the best that can be done under
the circumstances and will pay a
small fee to physicians who win aid
in the work.
The last legislature was rather
lavish in appropriations excepting to
carry out the provisions of the act
regarding the examination of school
children. Here the purse strings
were drawn tight and not a cent was
appropriated for the proper admin
istration of one Of, if not the most
important, law enacted during the
session.
The board Of health, however, will
spend between $4,000 and $4,000
in an effort to see that the law is
given a trial in the hope that the
next legislature, seeing the neces-
sity Of properly carrying out the pro-
visions Of the act, win appropriate
sufficient money to pay for the medi.
cal inspections. When this is done
and the act amended by adding 8
following up system, such as the
school nurse, to follow the child t.
its home and there give the parent
advice, then Florida will begin secur.
ing some Of the benefits that have
come to other states through medica
