saw the Germans. who a second aft

BASEBALL

Even Sparr can't win always, as
that famous team found out Saturday
when it was defeated by the Zephyr
hills roosters on their own Growing
ground. These two excellent teams
have victory apiece over each other
and will soon meet to play off the tie.
The veteran players of the old
Ocala team, Davis, Izlar, Anderson,
Chazal, Harris ard several others,
amounting to a dozen or more, who
had sworn off playing ball, have be-
come infested with curiosity about
this Sparr team, and are thinking
about lining up for a game with it.
The boys are out of practice but think
perhaps they know enough to go thru
the motions. They are not so anxious
tc beat Sparr as TO find out what
makes that team play so well. They
will probably challenge the cham
pions for a game Sept. 19.

IT'S Time TO
INTERFERE
The Mexican Government Admits 1t
Can't Protect Foreigners
(Associated Press)

Washington, Sept. Apparently
convinced that the United States is In
earnest in demanding proper treat
rent of Americans in Mexico, the
'Carranza government has adopted a
novel expedient n an attempt to re-
lieve itself of responsibility.
Americans going to the Tampico
region, hereafter, will be compelled
to sign a formal release of the Mexi-
can governments responsibility for
what may happen to them. If they
refuse, the Mexican officials will re-
fuse to vize their passports.
The condition raises a peculiar sit
Uation for, under the international
law, a government may refuse travel
permission to foreigners into a region
where it may not be prepared to guar
antee their safety.
Americans going to the Tampico
oil region are being asked to make
oath to such an affidavit as follows:
"The undersigned, under oath, de-
poses and says that he has been warn
ed that the Tampico oil region is d
dangerous district on account of the
activities of bandits operating in said
region; that deponent, by reason OF
his business as employe is on his way
TO that region, and travels at his owl
risk. That in case some accident
might happen to him, hereby he for.
nlally renounces the right that he OIL
his heirs might have, to present q
claim to the Mexican government
either directly or through another
Ichannel."

ANOTHER OUTRAGE ON JUSTICE
Jacksonville Metropolis,

The most severe condemnation is
due Governor Sidney J. Cats as a
member and president of the state
pardoning board and other members
OF that board who participated in the
pardoning of c. ]. White, former tax
collector of Washington county, con-
victed and sentenced to serve five
years on the charge of embezzlement.
Though his case lad been appealed to
the supreme court and the findings of
the lower court sustained, the pardon
ing board assented to an application
for pardon in behalf of White al
though he did not serve a single days
time at the state peniteptiary. He
did not make single dollar of res
titution of the several thousand dol
lars in funds which the assistant state
auditor found that he had embezzled,
and even after the supreme court had
upheld the lower courts, conviction OF
the defendant following full and fair
hearing of the case in his own county,
the governor granted White reprieve
of thirty days before permitting him
to be sent to Raiford. Before the
time had expired White was a free
man, and justice thereby cheated.
Such procedure on the part of the
state pardoning board is inexcusable.
Members who suffer themselves to
yield to the governs influence unless
they are convinced of the merits Of
the case are not worthy of the trust
which the people impose in them in
elevating them to high Office.
| In recent years three of Tampa s
leading Office holders were sentenced
to five year terms at Raiford upon
conviction upon similar charges. One
was a state senator who had been a
member Of the board of bond trustees.
Several of these men sacrificed their
ali to make good their shortage but
this did not excuse their act and they
went to Raiford to serve their SEN
terce. They are now serving and TAX
ing their medicine like manly men. II
White is to 60 free then there is every
reason why the other men in similar
cases should go scott free. The Me.
tropolis is satisfied that J. w. Rast
former tax collector of Duval county
could go out in this county and secure
several hundred signers to a petition
for his pardon. If Mr.. Rast is guilty aE
the lower court has decreed then he
should ordinarily serve his sentence

He is there serving now and his cas-,
