KILLED DEER WITH
SEVENTEEN POINTS ON
ANTLERS RECENTLY

Kissimmee, Jan. 12-.Former Coun-
ty Commissioner o. X. Bass was in
town a few days ago, having just re-
turned from hunting trip in the Jack
Hammock Slough, in company with a
party of friends. Mr.. Bass reported a
god time, plenty Of game, and believes
that he is the champion deer hunter
of Osceola county at this writing. He
is authority for the statement that
the buck he brought down was of i'm
size, having seventeen points
on the antlers. This means that the
deer was about seventeen years old.
Many of his friends witnessed the
trophy of his hunt and enjoyed fine
steaks of venison.

INTENSE DISAPPOINTMENT
AT DISPLACEMENT OF
GENERAL FOSTER

st. Augustine, Jan. 13 3.-lntense
disappointment was voiced here by
hundreds of friends of Adjutant Gen
'eral ]. c. R. Foster upon receipt
OF advices from Tallahassee an
Inouncing the removal of General
Foster from office by the appoint
ment of j. b. Christian, of Talla-
hassee. The rumors which had been
prevailing for several days prepared
the people of this city for the
change, but up TO the last moment
they hoped that the rumors would
mot materialize. General Foster re-
fused to comment upon the action Of
the Governor, further than stating
that he had not been informed of the
appointment of Mr. Christian and
had received no intimation that he
had been removed from office. There
is also much regret over the proposed
removal of the State arsenal from
this city, but this is considered Of
minor Importance. General Foster is
a ST. Augustine man, having spent
his childhood in this city, and he Is
linked by ties of long years OF
friendship to the people of st. Au-
gustine, many of whom are related
to him. He has been prominent in
movements that have for their OBJ
ject the development OF this city as a
great tourist resort. He is president
of the Chamber of Commerce and
has been active in making that body
potent factor for the upbuilding
of the Ancient City. Just what Gen.
eral Fosters plans for the future are
cannot be learned. but it is certain
that a man of his bread knowledge
and many talents will find use for
the same in fields that will ccmpen-
safe him much more literally than
did the Office OF adjutant general.

PHILADELPHIA ATHLETICS
TO TRAIN AT FT, PIERCE

Fort Pierce, Jan. 10 The re-
cruits for the pitching staff of the
Philadelphia Athletics, one of the
worlds strongest baseball organiza-
tions, will train in Fort Pierce this
season, beginning March LIST. ar
rangements to that effect having
been made Tuesday by Pat Flaherty,
the official scout of the Athletics.
The party will include several old
pitchers and about twelve recruits,
and will be accompanied by Scout
Flaherty and Manager Connie Mack.
1t is probable that during their stay
in Florida a match game will be
staged between the Athletics and
the locals. such a game having been
played here last season.
The coming of the Athletics to
Fort Pierce is due, says Scout Fla
herty, to the cordial welcome which
they received while on their short
stay in the city last season, to the
good facilities offered them here. and
to the excellent climatic conditions
Of this vicinity.
Scout F1aherty was in the city on
Tuesday and made arrangements at
the Fort Pierce hotel for leasing from
twelve to fifteen rooms for ten days
beginning March 1st. the Athletics
stay here tc be that length of time.
Flaherty also made arrangements for
bathing facilities at Holmes big
swimming pool.
Jacksonville will be the training
headquarters of the Athletics. The
recruits will be given their try-out
in Fort Pierce and the more promis-
ing will be transferred to the COM
pany of the old-timers in Jackson
Vile.
The Athletics are former winners
of the worlds series. having won the
championship in 1912.
Connie Mack proposes this season
to put out the strongest and most ef-
ficient baseball organization which
he has ever promoted ard the final
seasons wind-up will no doubt find
the Athletics holding the worlds Sc
ries remnant again.
