Tom Crooke's Navy Yard
Leaders Suffer First De-
feat of Season.

Tom Crooke's Cloneps team was de-
feated yesterday in the Navy Yard
League for the first time this season. the
Quadrangle Club turning the trick by 4
to 3. Each club got two runs in the
first inning. Cloffeps scored again in the
third and Quadrangle made two in the
sixth.
Hamill and Buscher engaged in a
pitchers battle in which there was little
difference in the work of the men. Each
out the same number, and there was a
difference Of only one in the number of
bases on balls given by them. McCar-
thy's fielding at short for the winners
was brilliant, as was Langans IN the
same position for the losers. Crooke led
his team in batting with a double and
single.
Clofeps won the championship Of the
league last year and have started this
season as if they are on their way to
another title. Prior to yesterday the
nearest that any other club has come to
played early this week.
Treasury defeated Company G of
the National Guard in the Depart
were not able to bat consistently
against Walkers and Carroll's de-
liveries. and their fielding hardly was
up to the standard. Caffrey felded a
fine game at third for the winning
team and Bailey,s york .s at first nsd
just returned from France, where he
played some base ball with an
Army team between scraps with the
Germans.
r. T. Fisher is reported to have

wards foot ball coach. Fisher was
captain of the Crimson in 1911.
Central High athletics were awarded
letters at the Assembly Of the stu
dent body yesterday morning. Men,
beers of the base ball, swimming. ten
mis- and rife teams received the in

Ainsmith Looks Different Now.

Patrons of the Georgia avenue stad-
fum will see a familiar figure i'm ac-
tion in the next four days in Eddie
Ainsmith. the former Washington
backstop. who has displaced Oscar
Stanage as the first string catcher of
the Tigers. The improvement in Ain
smiths work since he went to De-
troit is remarkable. particularly as
regards hitting. Eddie has been given
a lot of pointers by Cobb. and now is
recognized as a dangerous batsman.

CRYSTALIzINC
Series of Events Planned to Per-
feet Unanimous Spirit Before
Time of Meeting of Florida
Purchase Commission.

Public sentiment for Pensacola as
the site for the centennial will be
crystalized into action by a series of
events which will be staged before the
meeting of the Florida purchase com
mission in Tallahassee some time this
month. Beginning Wednesday. when
the third of a series of mass meetings
will be given in Mallory Court the
boost calendar will be filled to over
flowing.
in the campaign which will be under
taken to gain the united support of
the men, women and children of the
community. An especial effort will
be made to interest the schools in the
big movement. For the special bene-
fit of the children and youth of Pen
sacola the historical aspects of the
situation and the pre- eminent reason
why Pensacola should win will be
stressed.
An urgent request will be made to
the school board by the centennial
committee to have the various insti-
tutions of learning represented at
Wednesday nights meeting. There
will be several speakers on the pro-
gram and a band will be in atten-
dance to stir up enthusiasm.
Leaders in the c. t. T. were op-
timistic last night over the success
of their efforts to have a big dele
cation go to Tallahassee for the de-
cisive meeting when the exposition
city will be named. Petition lists
are growing and so great is the in
terest which has been displayed that
promoters of the tour are confident
that they will be able to secure
special train for the journey.
Pensacola goes prepared to put it
over the Jacksonville boosters who
are planning raid on the capital city
With the Biggest and best as their
slogan, they are going to attain the
goal, centennial committeeman say
