A GREAT GAME
In Spite Of Heavy Odds, ocala Held

Everybody who saw yesterdays
ball game was highly pleased with it,
and praised both teams -Brooksville

Ocala for spirited dash and bulldog
determination, which more than once
took it to the verge of victory or saw

There is no doubt that Brooksville

places, notably Tampa, where men of
almost professional skill may be OBJ

fine team, and it would have been no
disgrace to any team not made up of
professionals to be beaten by it.
As for the home team. it is made
up of good individual players, but
they do not have enough practice to
do the efficient teamwork required
Many of the boys do not see each
Iother from game to game, and some
times when a man promises to play
he finds at the last minute he can't,
so the manager doesn't kniw until a
few minutes before the game begins

There was a big crowd out to see

BIRTH REGISTRATION
ON THE INCREASE

Jacksonville, Sept. 16.-Notable in
crease in birth registration in Florida
is reported by Dr.. S. G. Thompson,
in charge of the bureau of vital sta
tistics of the State Board of Health.
Records for the first six months Of
1919 show 8497 births and covering
the same period this year S713 regis
trations have been made. DIR. Thomp-
son states that he is greatly pleased
wit hthe response Of physicians and
midwives to his appeal for strieter
compliance with the registration laws
of Florida.
While it is not believed that every
baby born is reported this years re-
cord, up to date. is a decided improve
ment on preceding ones and It is
hoped that before long the state Wils
be placed in the United States regis-
tration area for births. continued Dr.
Thompson.
Another announcement coming
from the bureau Of vital statistics is
Of the completion Of a well equipped
fireproof vault for the vital records
Of the state. This is a requirement
of law but until the present time the
state has not been able to comply
with it. The vault allows sufficient
space to take care of the records for
the next fifteen years. An efficient
system of recording is followed BY the
the bureau and any individual IN need
of his birth certificate may secure It
IN very short time by communicat-
ing with the State Board Of Health.
