ESCAMBIA EXHIBIT

was allowed only $500 for taking the
exhibit to Jacksonville. Mr.. Smith paid
for an assistant, F. L. Maxey, and it was
to their untiring efforts that Escambia
owes the splendid advertising that has
come to her.
Mr. Smith said last night that the $500
loaned him by he Chamber of Commerce
would be returned to that body, but it
was suggested yesterday afternoon by
several interested in the fair that it
would be a fine thing for the Chamber
Of Commerce to turn this fund back to
the county agent to be placed at the
disposal of the fair association, in order
that another year. when the fair wishes
to send an exhibit out of town, this fund
might be drawn upon.
Other counties in the state, according
to Mr. Smith, had exhibits which had
cost from $1,000 to $4,000, with from
three to five men to put up and ar
range the exhibit, and to remain and
assist during the fair.
With a 60-foot space" said Mr..
Smith, 1T can easily be seen that it is
necessary that two men be present at
all times. one at either end of the booth,
to furnish information, and look after
the booth, preventing any destruction by
small boys or others. With only two.
! this is very difficult, as there are times
that it is necessary for one to leave the
booth. at which time the entire booth is
under the charge of one man, and it is
impossible for one person to look after
tne exhibit and attend to the people who
cali at the BOOTH"
Mr.. Smith said that there was much
interest manifested in the Escambis
exhibit, and that hundreds asked tor
Escambia county literature. AS he had
nothing of the kind, he arranged a book
for registration, with an attractive sign,
inviting visitors to the booth to register,
and returned home with hundreds of
names of men and women interested in
Escambia county. to whom he viii per-
sonally write, later turning the list over
to the Chamber Of Commerce.

of $4,000, / understand, to cancel the
tour. There was q principle at issue
with Ruth and he turned down the
offer. Ruth had no grievance against
Judge Lands for his refusal to sane
ton the trip, but he seriously objected
to the rule which the judge was COM
PEELED to enforce
Ruth called off his exhibition tour
after playing only four of the scheduled
games. At first might appear that
Babe" was 'kayoed" by the judge. AS
a matter of fact, Ruth accomplished
the very thing he set out to do. He
secured world wide publicity of a man
ifestly unfair rule. am positive Judge
Lands entertains that opinion. 1t is
almost certain that the rule will be
changed. However, it would probably
have continued to exist had not Ruth
had the courage of his convictions.
Origin of Rule.
The rule was inspired in 1910 because
of the sorry showing made by the
Philadelphia Athletics In Cuba. After
having won the world championship,
with what was admitted to be one of
the greatest teams in the history of
the game, the Athletics We're beaten in
six out of 10 games by the Cubans.
The Athletics did not go TO Cuba until
seven weeks after the close of the
season and We're n poor physical con-
dition. / was umpiring in Cuba at the
time. 1t was a decided reflection on
The world series to have the winners
trimmed in such a decisive manner.
That trip caused the legislation against
transforming.
1t is apparent why the magnates do
not desire world champion team to
barnstorm. They are absolutely right.
However, to say that the individual
cannot play is hardly fair. The test
case made by Ruth is sure to bear
fruit.

EVANS EXPLAINS WHY BABE
RUTH GOT BEST OF Lands
BY Billy Evans

Copyright, 1921, NEA Serivce.)
Babe" Ruth does not confne his
home-run hitting to mere baseball. The
Sultan of Swat packs a punch n other
activities.
have in mind Ruths skirmish with
"His Honor" Judge Lands, doing the
pitching. Technically Babe" lost the
decision to the judge. However, he
scored a moral victory for a principle
that is sure to work to the advantage
of the ball player.
At the close Of the world series
Judge Lands, doing the hurting for the
magnates, served the following assort-
ment of mixed English for the Babes"
consideration.
Both teams that contest in the world
series are required to disband imme-
diately after its close, and the mem
bers thereof are forbidden to partici-
pate as individual or as a team in ex-
hibition games during the year in
which the world championship was
decided"
If yoE were a great ball player like
Babe Ruth, possessing unusual ability
as a batsman, that rule wouldn't make
much Of a hit with you. In the above
clause you have the reason for the re-
cent difference OF opinion between
Judge Landis on the side of the mag
mates and Babe" Ruth for the 1all
player.
Offered $4,000.
Ruth received about $500 for his
losing share of the world series. If
the Yankees had failed to win the
American league pennant. Ruth would
have received $4,000 for playing 25 ex
hibition games at the close OF the
American league season. There was
nothing of the gamble about the prop
osition the money was to be placed to
Ruths credit in bank before the start
of the tour
When the Yankees won the right to
play in the series. the offer still held
good as far as the promoters were con-
cerned, but the rules of baseball said
nothing doing.
Babe Ruth is unquestionably the big
gest man in baseball from the playing
standpoint. He resented the mani
testify unfair rule. Anyone with bit
OF common sense would have taken the
same attitude, with s37, 600 loss star
ing him IN the face. He decided to test
the clause forhidding a world series

Last week Mr.. Duncan and Mr..
Christian made trip up the coast
from Key West in Captain Hatch's
boat, "The Gypsy Queen" The party
made the trip for the excellent OPP
portunity afforded them to fish for
tarpon and had phenomenal luck.
The largest tarpon pulled was land
ed by Mr.. Christian, the big fish
weighing 100 pounds. He also
caught the largest snapper that
Capt. Hatch has ever seen pulled out
of these waters. 1t weighed 20
pounds.
Mr.. Duncan used light tackle and
succeeded in landing 6S-pound tar
pom. which is considered very good
work. The party had a splendid
outing and enjoyed the sport to the
fullest extent. as only old fishermen
can enjoy it Besides the catch men,

including dolphin, barracuda AID
