GIVE PALS
A COMPLETE NE "
UNIFORM OUTFIT

The express company has received
twelve new uniforms for the local
baseball team, including caps, stock
ings' an9 all other accessories which
will be presented to the local team
upon their return from the trip to
Fort Myers and Plant City where they
have been playing this week. These
uniforms were the very best which
money could buy and when Captain
Jackson and his crew get all "dolled''
up in them they will be the pick of
the state.
These uniforms will have to be paid
for, though, before they can be taken
from the express Office. The total
cost of the complete equipment for the
twelve men including express charges
amounts to S21783. The team needs
these uniforms and it is up to the
fans, who are interested in the sport
for Palatka and interested in the
team to help pay the purchase price
of the new suits.
Sometime during this morning,
some of the local men will be around
to call on the business men and it is
to be hoped that all will "chip in as
literally as possible. The names of
all donors will appear in Sundays
issue of the News with the amount
subscribed. Help the team out as
much as possible.
AS soon as the uniforms are taken
from the express office, the members
of the team will don them and have
a picture taken, before the suits have
been soiled.

and skill he also stands high and

contest, taking full advantage of his
speedy footwork and clecer boxing
Dempsey will find a far different op-
ponent to cope with than was the
case when he faced Willard, Fulton
and Brennan.
Dempsey Has His Points, Too
The champion also has his special
points of recommendation from a
ring standpoint. Dempsey is a terri
BILE hitter with either hand and from
any angle. He does not need to draw
back his arm to shoot a blow. In
stead, he starts his punches from al
most any point of the arc of attack
and although his fist travels but a
few inches so great is the power of
co-ordinated muscles and weight of
body, that the result is appalling.
Willard was changed from a tower
ing giant into a grovelling helpless
piece of humanity by two blows de
livered within a period of two seconds.
The first, right to the body, crum-
pied him up and the second, left
to the jaw, knocked from his head all
thoughts of fighting. Had he been any
other than a super-man physically he
never would have arisen from the ini-
tial Touchdown.
Another Dempsey asset is his pc
culiar crOuching form of attack
with its puzzling, weaving in and
out of the head and body, making a
difficult target to hit squarely. He
also has shown ability to take hard
blows and respond within attraction

PIONEER IN AVIATION
Came to America as Observer
With the R-34.

Air Commodore u. NJ. Maitland, be-
lieved to have perished in the explosion
of the dirigible zR-2 over Hull, Eng
land. was official observer for the
British Air Ministry in the historic
transatlantic round trip voyage Of the
R-34 in July. 1919.
His renown as flier was worldwide,
and the log in which he recorded the
Important and trivial events during the
flight OF the R-3i from England TO Long
Island and return formed one of the best
known bits of aeronautic literature.
The Commodore was a pioneer flier.
Coming from an Essex infantry regi-
ment, he learned TO fly in 1909. Hc was
one OF the first men to pilot a British
ship over the lines during the recent
war.
Parachute leaping was almost a habit
with him, and IL wos said he had
dropped to earth in that manner from
planes, balloons and dirigibles of all
types. He was prominent in the develop
ment OF parachute apparatus, and once
dropped 10000 feet by that means from
a kite balloon, q record fall at the time.
Last June the Commodore who held
the rank OF Brigadicr- General, watched
the running OF the Derby at EPSON
Downs from the P-33. The big raee

LITTLE TRIED TO SAVE
C-5 FROM LOSS AT SEA
Lieutenant Had Navy Cross
for Work in France.

Charles c. Little. who was aboard the

of this city. lie enlisted in the naval
aviation forces in June, 1917, and after
training at Akron, Ohio. went to France
In November of the same year. He re-
ceived the Navy Cross for his services
on patrol duty in French waters. In the
spring OF 1913 he was ordered back to
the United States and stationed at Cape

Lieut. Little was one of the navy's
most expert officers in dirigible aero
nautics. When tho blimp C-5 made her
III fated flight TO Newfoundland In May,

ahead to establish tho station at Quidi-
vidi. outside St Johns. for her landing

In the destruction OF the C-5, which
was swept out to sea by n sudden storm.
while moored, Little acted heroically. As
the big gas bag snapped at her moor
ings, pitching and tossing, Little climbed
up her side In an attempt to reach the
rip cord by which the bag might be de-
flated and the balloon saved. The C-5
meantime had broken all bonds and was
rising. The cord broke in Little's hand.
His only chance to save the ship thus
defeated, he jumped thirty feet to the
ground. a broken ankle resulted.
