SCHOOLBOYS AWAIT
EASTER VACATIONS
Holidays Will Enable Coaches
to Hold Baseball Practice in
Morning and Afternoon

With the day get for the official open
ing of the Interscholastc Baseba II
League only three weeks off. the coaches
and captains of the various members Of
the circuit are eagerly awaiting the
Easter vacation. which starts tomorrow
and ends Easter Monday
Baseball has been late In getting
started at the prep schools this season
and only few have been fortunate
enough TO have their fields in shape for
outdoor practice, so the Easter holidays
this year will be welcomed. Glasses
will not be held for an entire week and
1t is the plan of the tutors to hold long
workouts in the morning and possibly
few will practice again in the after
noon.
Light Teams
The Interschoastic League this year
will be composed of mines from the fol-
lowing schools: Northeast, West Phila-
delphia. Central High. Germantown.
South Philadelphia, Roman Catholic
High. Trades School and Frankford.
All have been hit hard through gradu-
atoms and enlstments. and 1t is pos
sible that the squads will be further de-
pleted before the season is finished
through the enlistment of some of the
players in farm service.
Northeast at West Philadelphia Ro-
man Catholic High at Central High !;
FTankford at South Philadelphia. and
Germantown at Trades School Is the
card for the opening day, April IL.
Trades School Strong
Although 1t is too early to Judge
fairly the prowess of any of the teams,
IL would be safe plan IL the members
OF the league would watch Coach
Schlow's squadN at Trades School
Judging from the list of first class ma
terial Trades School should have a team
that will give the leaders a hard battle
for the first time since their admittance
into the league.

voice of the Canadian carries across the
stretch and is easily heard by the
aspiring and perspiring oarsmen.

three circuits of the track to bring Joie

When Ray overhauled the sailor a
duel the like of which seldom has been
seen in the old Garden developed. Using
every ounce of speed and grit they pos
sessed, the pair sped along at a dizzy
clip. It left them to fight out the issue
between themselves. AS the two went

AFTER TIE LoAvEs AND FISHES

Inspired by some republican gains
in the last congressional elections
forty-two of the faithful" recently
met in Jacksonville and formed a re-
publican state organization.
Mr.. j. E. Merrill, Of Duval county,
was elected chairman, and Mr. J. E.
Hunter, of Hillsborough county, sec
rotary of the state executive commit
tee.
Because President Wilson ap
pointed Mr. w. A McAdoo, his SON
in-law, manager Of railways. notwith-
standing his brilliant success in hand
ling them, these true and tried" re-
publican gentlemen in a set of reso-
lutions give the president the follow
ing dig"
"We deprecate the tendency to
nepotism. and the obvious purpose OF
the chief magistrate to arrogate to
himself all the powers of the govern
ment, and to the exclusion Of the sen
at and other coordinate authority"
These patriots" proclaim that the
peace conference should not be made
the occasion for any personal
triumph
The very high need Of praise the
president is receiving from the po-
tentates Of the earth is a thorn in
the flesh to them and they are acting
as if they do not like it a little bit,
and are SC heart-broken that they
have no spirit to join in the general
jubilatiOn
The said gentleman solemnly de-
clares that the democratic party Of
Florida is only a so-calIed party and
while sending two guilty officials to
the Raiford farm-two from the sec
retarys own county-for embezzle-
ment-these gentlemen solemnly de-
clare in their set OF resolutions that
'embezzzIements of public monies go
unchecked and UNPUBLISHED"
We know that it hurts them to their
very marrow bones to see at this mo-
mentous period in the worlds history
the democrats in the saddle and es-
pecially southern democrats and for
almost the entire world to be tossing
flowers at the feet of this great and
glorious party for its achievements,
but there is nothing for them to do
but to bear it, It is a record-break-
ing history most stirring time for
genuine patriots and those engaged in
it will be writ high and with very
glittering letters on the scroll OF
fame. Democrats didn't do it ALL of
course. but they directed it.

ANNOUNCEMENT

The publisher of the Banner wishes
TO announce that NJ z. L. Harper,
editor of the Daily and Weekly Ban
ner, is not severing his connection
with the publications. but is expecr,
ing to be away from Ocala for some
time developing other interests IN
which he and the publisher are NUT
ually interested.
The worth of Mr.. Harper to the
Banner and as a citizen Of Ocala is
recognized by none more than the
proprietor, and, contrary to reports
which seem to have gained some
speed, j" I wish to reiterate that the
work he will do while away will not
prevent him aiding and in a great
measure guiding the destinies of the
Ocala Banner, and we hope to have
him again at his desk here in few
weeks
