PROTECT YOUR OWN PREMISES

"a number of the farmers are kick
ing because the new game law pre-
vents them from shooting squirrels at
this time, when they are most destruc-
tive to the ripened crops. 1t seems
to the Star foolish and unjust to for
bid a man from shooting wild ami
NAL that is destroying his property.
The game law looks like a crazy
quilt and every time the legislature
fools with it, it makes it worse"
When County Judge Smith saw the
foregoing in Mondays daily Star, ne
called our attention to a clause in the
law which says it shall be lawful for
any citizen to protect his own prem
ises against the depredations of any
wild animals or birds. We were glad
to see the proviso. The complaint of
the law was made to US by farmer
and goes to show the general confus-
ion about the game law. We prinI
elsewhere an authorized synopsis OF
the game law, which is all the aver
age citizen has to go by, and as you
can see by reading it, it makes nc
mention of the proviso.

PRESIDENT is AGAINST PRE-
NATURE PEACE

President Wilson told the organiz-
ers of the Patriotic Educational Move
ment who called on him at the White
House yesterday that Americans who
were discussing early peace with
Germany were forgetting that it
would mean crushing the democratic
ideals for which the United States
had always stood. He said that the
only way to end the war was by COM
plete victory of the nations represent
ing these ideals over the German doc
trine of force. He declared that many
people were inclined to let their
thought on the cause of the war
wander into by-ways and to forget
that the main reason the United
States is at war is to defeat the gov
ernment that was threatening the ex-
istence of democracy.

MRS. W. T. SPENCER

AfterA long illness. patiently
borne, Mrs. w. T. Spencer passed
away at her home on Oklawaha ave-
nue. early this morning.
Mrs. Spencer was the. sister-in-law
of Mr.. John H. Spencer of this city,
and the widow of Mr.. w. 7. Spencer,
who lost his life in an accident at
Rodman some four years ago. Short
ly after her husbands death, she and
her children came to Ocala and have
Since made their home here. The sick
ness which caused her death came
upon her some months ago, and in
spite of care and skill lavished upon
her carried her slowly but surely to
the grave.
The funeral takes place at the fam
lily home on Oklawaha avenue. at 4:3O
this afternoon. DIR. Gross will con-
duct the services. The remains OF
the departed lady will be buried in
Greenwood cemetery beside those OF
her husband.
Mrs. Spencer was a most estimable
lady, and. had the friendship and
confidence of all who knew her. She
leaves four children, her Oldest
daughter, Mrs. Kate Pickrell, her de-
voted nurse thru her long illness, two
sons, Robert and Harold, and a
younger daughter, little Leone. The

for professional ball. We are not in
formed as to the amount, but it is
safe to say that it was considerably
less than some of the checks that have
passed through his hands since. The
palmy days of baseball salaries had
not arrived. Old Pop Arson. that vet
eran of the game, was for short
time connected with the club, and
went with it to Cuba, a venture that
turned out disastrously, as Mr.. Clark
states that it cost him six hundred
good hard dollars. Other players who
were connected with the club, fol
longer or shorter periods, and have
since gained fame on the diamond,
were Tenny, Dan Brouthers, and
O'Rourke.
Local members of the team. who
have acquired notoriety, if not fame,
in other fields are FL. L. Anderson, the
big Bull Moose state manager in the
national campaign when Teddy lost
out, and the democrats came into
power by the election of Woodrow
Wilson; Robert Anderson, presum-
ably his brother; Albertus Vogt, who
claims to be the father of the phos-
phate industry, and others of more
modest pretensions.
George K. Robinson was the man.
ager of the club and Robert S. Clark,
present citizen of Tampa, its treas
urer 1t was a good club as clubs
went in those days, and had long
list of victories to its credit. 1t liked
nothing better than to be pitted
against some club out in "the sticks"
whose members had somehow gotten
the impression that they were ball
players par excellence, and reduce
the swelled craniums. One one occas-
ion the team came to Tampa, and
trimmed up the local club to the
queens taste. By way of apology, OF
excuse, it might be alleged that Tam
pa, at that time, was smaller town
than Oeala.

ANOTHER BRITISH DRIVE

Eondon, Oct. 9.-The British at
tackled on a wide front northwest of
Ypres at the scene of Thursdays sue
cessful drive, the war office announc-
ed this morning. The statement said
the British attacked "in conjunction
with our allies" and satisfactory pro-
gress has been made everywhere. Re-
cent dispatches from the front said
rain and mud made conditions under
which an attack was hardly expected.
The attack apparently indicates the
purpose of the British to force de-
cision before cold weather sets in or
before the Germans have had a chance
to recover from Thursdays blow.

WHEN OCALA LED
IN FLORIDA BASEBALL
Tampa Times)


That the man who initiated Mana
ger McGraw of the Giants, now bat
Ting for national supremacy with the
White Sox, into the mysteries of pro-
fessional baseball, and paid him the
first money he ever received for his
services in that capacity, is still liv
ing in Tampa, is a fact but little
known in the city, but it is fact
nevertheless. The gentleman, who
has that honor is Robert S. Clark, an
esteemed citizen and member of Com
pany A of the Hillsborough County
Guards.
Mr.. Clark was living at the time in
Ocala and conducting two of the
leading hotels in that thriving and
sport-loving city. The time was away
back in 1889, when baseball was in
its infancy as compared to it's sturdy
status of today. In those early days
every Florida city which was big
enough and enterprising enough, to
boast fire department, had also its
baseball club. The one seemed to be
sort of natural complement of the
ether.
Ocala was thrifty and wealthy, and
many of it's citizens possessed a
! strong infusion of sporting blood,
which led them to turn as naturally to
| baseball as duck takes to water.
The phosphate industry was pouring
wealth into the Golfers of the citizens,
and the citrus industry, of which
Ocala was the center at that date was
not far behind as a wealth producer.
The fatal days of "The Big Freeze, y
which drove the growers to more
southern points, had not yet dawned,
and the future was roseate in the be-
| lief that Florida would yet be one big
orange grove. The virtues of grape
fruit were as yet unknown, but what
matter? Oranges were good enough
for any taste, the demand for them
unlimited, and prices were at top
notch. Those were the halcyon days!
Of course Ocala had its ball club,
and equally of course it must be the
best that could be had. The best local
players were pressed into the club,
and then, in order to maintain its
prestige, it had to reach out into the
bushes for promising youngsters.
Among those who came to them in
this way was one John ]. McGraw,
1 who is described as full of pep and
ginger. He was given the post of
shortstop, where he made good and
contributed materially to- the clubs
many victories. 1t was in payment
for his services in this capacity that
Clark, as the club treasurer, paid him
the first money he had. ever received

Mr.. Benjamin, the director of pub

number of handsome posters, calling
attention to the necessity of food con-
servation. He distributed them among
the business houses. which patriot
ically put them in conspicuous places.
He also, in making report OF the
work to the state director, recon-
mended that at least one Of these
posters be put in every schoolhouse.

NEW SCHOOL REGULATIONS

Owing to the small enrolment in
the beginners grade of the primary
school, the trustees of the district and
the county board have decided to ad-
nit to this grade any children who
will be six years of age before the
close of school.
The purpose of this regulation is
to give to the pupils the advantages
of a full year in school and parents
who intend sending children are urg-
ed to enter them at once No provis-
ion will be made for a class of begin
ners after the holidays.

ANOTHER ALLIED
DRIVE IS ON
. British and French Attack in
n Belgium
UNHAPPY TEUTONS OBTAIN LITTLE REST BETWEEN SLIDGE-
HAMMER BLOWS OF THEIR OPPONENTS
Associated Press)
Without regard to the highly

Without regard to the highly un-
weather conditions and in a
surprisingly short time since their
last thrust, the British and French
early this morning. launched another
attack in Belgium. They struck east
and northeast of Ypres in about the
same section of the British victory of
last Thursday. Both London and
Paris in brief reports say the battle
is developing satisfactorily for the
Allies. A considerable force of French
troops participated in the Flanders
drive July 31st but since then most
of the major movements have been on
the British front. 1t is believed the
time is now considered opportune for
bringing the French line more to the
north on a level with the British
front, which has been steadily pushed
forward. The drive this morning is
in the direction of the Roulers- Menin
railroad about five miles from the
point of the British wedge at Brood
seinde. The theory is expressed that
Gen. Haig wanted to hit the, Germans
even in bad weather, while they ap-
parently are staggered from the last
hard blow.
