first game in the Orange Belt League
race and Lakeland triumphed over
the fast Barlow nine on the Athletic
Field at Barlow, yesterday after
noon.
1t was an ideal day for the sport
and there were rooters galore for all
teams, three bands playing stirring
music; in fact, everybody was en-
dowed with enthusiasm for good
roads and good baseball. A large
delegation journeyed over from
Lakeland and proved a valuable as
set to the home team, encouraging
them greatly on foreign territory.
After the Winter Haven-Kissfmmee
game, Lakeland and Barlow took to
the field and gave the fans thrill af-
ter thrill. Davis, who held down the
mound position for Barlow pitched a
jam up game, likewise his opponent
Hatton. Barlow scored in the initial
inning on Smiths error and F. Sey-

Glad to see Winter Haven win "a
game. Haynes sure did himself
proud
Catcher Grantham of the Winter

You see, fans, ! told you that last
Thursday was an off day. Don't ever
knock a team and especially your
own home boys because they lose
Keep plugging for them; it's the
good old encouragement that helps
Teller get along nowadays.
Barlow will be here Thursday and
will bring along a big delegation
Long Smith made his little error
yesterday but more than made up
' for it in the fifth when his timely
single brought in what proved to be
the winning run.
That boy Tenny is valuable ad-

and splendid batting eye.

The Portland express car which
reaches Augusta at about 7.30 A. NJ,
did not put in an appearance Saturday
because of having caught fire soon at
ter leaving Topsham on it's run to
Lewiston. The fire was discovered by
the motorman, who ran the car back
to the nearest hydrant and also tele-
phoned for the Brunswick chemical.
One length of hose which had been
secured at Topsham was being used
and Chief Ragley and two men re-
sponded with the chemical and with
the means at hand the blaze was soon
eXtinguished. The car was loaded with
large consignment of matches to-
gether with general load of groceries
and clothing. 1t is. said that the dam
age by fire, smoke and water will
amount to several thousands of dol
lars. 1t could not be learned yester-
day whether any of the contents of
the car were consigned to Augusta or
not. After the fire the car was run to
Lewiston under it's own power

The Memorial Address
The most striking fact about death is
its inevitability. For every birth there
must come a death. 1t is law not 81
the human race alone, but OF nature It
self, for
Life evermore is fed by death
In earth. and sea and sky,
And that a rose may breathe its breath
Something must dle
Yet the death of those we love comes as
a stunning blow, save in those cases OF
lingering, painful and hopeless illness
where the silent messenger brings a
blessed peace to the sufferer. Something
of these thoughts is involved in the open
ing lines of the late Orville D. Bakers
memorial address on the death of Chief
Justice Wiswell. wherein he said:
AT times we are StrlkinSiy reminded
that close beside the borders of life, set
with all its blooms. flows the river OF
death into whose forbidding waters nc
man may step and then return, and no
man who has once entered may send an
swer back from the further shore. When
it-comes to one who is frail with sickness
or weary with the hardships of life. the
fingers of death are soft and even well
come
But whether expected or unexpected, the
supreme fact about death IS its certainty
That very fact however, should rob it
of its terror. In death we but share
the common destiny and the dreamless,
perfect slumber of all who lived, are liv-
ing, and shall hereafter live. There is a
robust and wholesome philosophy in those
lines from Thanatopsis, SO familiar to
every Elk:
yet not to thine eternal resting place
Shalt thou retire alone, nor couIdst thou
wish
Couch more magnificent. Thou shalt lie
down
