ARE LIKELY To
TRAIN IN OCALA
Sparrow, Advance Agent for the
Yankees, is Much Pleased
with Our City
Jacksonville Metropolis)

According to H. L. Sparrow, the
advance agent for the New York
Yankees, Ocala will be the spot for
the New Workers to train next spring.
Sparrow cannot say enough about
Florida and the congenial residents
of the little down-state town and
knows that it is fit place for the
Yanks to shed their winter habits. 1t
is hard to believe that sparrow
would insist on Florida for the spring
time (joke).
The New York Yankees have tried
every nook and corner of the semi
torrid zone. They have trained from
Savannah, Ca, to Houston, Texas, and
north as far as Atlanta and Athens,
Ga. But they never got far enough
ahead after these exercises to win one
of Ban Johnson's flags.
The Yankees are quite likely to
switch the base of their early opera
tions. Ocala is anxious to entertain
Donovan's legion of hopefuls. Ocala
is located centrally in Florida-far
removed from the uncertain sea
breezes that play havoc to GONZALES
cent throwing arms Ocala lies com
paratively close to Daytona, Miami
and Tampa. Brooklyn trains at Day
tona, the Boston Braves at Miami and
the Cubs at Tampa. Intraleague
major league games are prohibited in
the springtime. Wherefore the Van.
KEGS by moving to Ocala might fine
three strong National League oppon.
ents for exhibition purposes.
This switch would benefit both the
National and American Leagues. /
would give the three clubs of the
Tener circuit an opportunity to ar
range games with both the Yankees
and the Athletics, who viii be en-
lcamped again at Jacksonville. The
owners of the New York Americans
have investigated the merits of Ocals
as presented by the business men O
the city who are anxious to attract
major league attention.

NEW DESKS IN THE
POSTOFFICE LOBBY

Postmaster Rogers is having two
new desks put in the postofice lobby,
one at the east end and one at the
west. While no regulations can be
made as to who shall use them, it is
hoped that it will become customary
for postoffice patrons to leave them,
as far as possible to the ladies. The
two desks that have been in use since
the building opened, are not near
equal to the demand during rush
hours, and often ladies cannot obtain
a place to write.

HAD TO HAVE A HORSE

One of the old veterans here dur
ing the reunion was Mr.. B. I'll. King,
of Fort Meade, formerly a Texas
ranger. This veteran, fearless of
guns and bucking broncos, was auto
shy, so demurred at the trip to Silver
Springs. Harry Peter, however, with
his usual promptness, overcame the
difficulty by procuring a horse, on
which the old ranger felt himself at
home, and made the trip to the
springs and back. Mr.. King wore a
sword, which he captured during the
war.

qualified disclaimer of responsibility
for the sinking of the Hesperian in
the early part of September off the
Irish coast. In a note to American
Ambassador Jas. w. Gerard, the for

evidence at hand Germany was salts
