COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS
A CHANGE OF DAT
Period Between Election and Inan
guration Of the President
Should be Shortened
0AssocIated Pressl

st. Louis, Aug. 27.-The long
period between the election of the
president of the United States and
his Inauguration is "a serious evil
fraught with much danger" accord
ing to the report of the special COM
mittee on the change IN date Of the
presidential inauguration, presented
today to the convention Of the Am
erican Bar Association. in session
here.
The report recommends that the
period be shortened, and that the
short term of the old Congress be
eliminated. It. however does not
suggest any other date for the inau-
guration, explaining that March 4,
has been recognized by constitutional
amendment as the date of inaugural.
1t adds:
fThe committee, however. IS Of the
opinion that it is the duty Of this
association representing the great
body of lawyers of the country to call
the attention Of Congress to those
provisions of the law and of the con-
stitution which are fraught with
serious danger and which are liable
to bring humiliation and disaster to
the republic
It is stated that the period between
election and inauguration IS liable
to leave the administration IN hands
which have been discredited by q pop
ular vote Of want Of confidence and
that such a situation greatly weak
ems the prestige Of the government
both at home and abroad.
"The three months session OF the
old Congress occurring after a new
Congress has been elected Is also
most unsatisfactory and serves as an
opportunity for partisan activity Of
the worst kind"

OCALA TOO MUCH
FOR HIGH SPRINGS

For the second time in as many
days Ocala defeated the fast High
Springs team in slow but we'll play
ed game that was full of excitement
and brilliant plays, with the odds in
favor of Ocala. The final score was
3 to q
The cloudy afternoon kept a good
many from the game but neverthe-
less there was a big half-holiday
crowd in attendance and every one
got more than their moneys worth
for they saw mighty good game.
With the score three to two in
favor of the locals, the visitors tried
hard to tie the score and win the
game in the ninth inning, but on two
great catches their efforts went for
naught.
With a runner on second and no
outs, Harris in left caught line
drive which was almost labeled for
three bags for the first out, and with
second and third covered Mickler,
who relieved Luffman out of a bad
hole in the eighth inning, got himself
in another bad hole with the pref
tiest play of the day. Fred Luffman
playing third got a ''hunch" that the
squeeze play was going to be pulled
He ran way in, got little pop fly
not much more than ten feet from
the plate and doubled the runner on
third and the game was over.
Luffman pitched a good game for
the locals but when the rain came
he was unable to hold the wet sphere
and retired in Mickler's favor. Fal-
low on second saved the day in the
eighth when he went way back into
center and robbed High Springs of q
sure hit. Bishop in center had five
or six chances, which he took in easy
fashion, and Jimmie Liddell, whc
went in for Leavengood in the eighth
inning, made the run that won the
game for Ocala.
High Springs plays in iPalatka to.
morrow.
The Ocala team should have lot
of credit for defeating the High
Springs team, as they have defeated
Madison and Live Oak, two of the
states paid amateur teams. Mickler
Ocala's crack pitcher, is one of the
best in the state and the Florida
State League is trying to secure hi:
services.
Manager Jake Goldman is trying
for games with Lawtey for Tuesday
and with st. Augustine Thursday
The Lawtey team has defeated th,
High Springs team and if Mr.. Gold
man is successful in getting th'
team for next week Ocala fans vii
have an opportunity of seeing some
fast amateur ball. Mr.. Goldman say
that if the Ocala fans back the team
in the future as in the past, he vii
try to bring the best amateur team
of the state to the Ocala diamond.
Watch for the games next week.
