Considerate of Him
(Associated Press)

Springfield, Aug. 10.-States At

some county acceptable to both the
prosecution and defense, and that
both sides agree to speedy trial.

a PROTEST FROM ARLo

Oak, Aug. 10.-To the Baseball
Fans of ocala: The Arlo Box Com
pany baseball team and the baseball
fans of Oak desire to enter a protest
against the game played in OcaIa yes
terday on the grounds that the UNI
pire rendered decisions which under
the conditions he had no right to
make.
The decisions referred to we're made
when Umpire Connen called Strick-
land back to third base in the sixth
inning, and again when he called
Perez out on second in the eleventh
inning.
Now answer me, some good fan,
what rule gives an umpire the right to
put man back on the base, which be
has just left. except on 3 dead ball or
foul? The rule says that if a catcher
interfere with the batter in his st
tempt to hit a pitched ball, all base
runners shall be allowed to advance
one base without liability of being
put out. Now, Mr.. Connell claimed
that Catcher Harry Wood interfered
with the batter but still refused to
call the runner safe.
Again. when Perez was called out
on second. Mr.. Connell repeatedly said
that he did not see the play. How can
an umpire give a decision on a play
that he does not see And even my
good friend Izlar said Immediately
after the play that IN his opinion the
runner was safe.
realize that we are playing anna
teur baseball and cannot officially en-
ter a protest, but / do believe that
the fans of Ocala and the manage
ment of the Ocala team are good
enough sports to throw yesterdays
game out OF our records and lineup
the two teams exactly as they were
yesterday and play the game ON the
ocala grounds at some later date.
What do you say. ocala; are yOu
game? R. L.

.OcALA-ARLO GAME
COMEDY OF ERRORS
Oak Boys Would Have Defeated the
Home Team If it Hadn't Been for
Their Own Mistakes
IL t. -

Shakspere would have termed yes
terday's game between Arlo and
ocaal Comedy of Errors and in
deed that was what it was so far as
the 0cala team was concerned. The
home team made only Is errors be-
cause the game ended in the eleventh
inning All they needed to make more
errors was more time Swink was con-
siderably off his feed but he was not
alone in his trouble. Only two of
the boys failed to make an error.
Frank Harris came out with a SPOT
less record but he had good reason
for it as he didn't handle a chance.
Leavengood handled two chances and
made no error.
Oak played much better ball than
Ocala but the breaks went against
them and they lost a game that
should have been theirs easily. They
made only two errors during the en-
tire game, but both were costly. Glenn
ents and Christopher both pitched
good ball under the circumstances.
More credit should be given to Glenn
ents for his support was rotten.
Strickland thought he could relieve
Christopher in the ninth and stop
Ocala in her effort to come back.
Leayengood was first up and laced a
long one to center field for sacrifice.
Strickland didn't read the handwrit-
ing on the wall from that blow but
tried Fred Luffman and Fred credited
his batting average with a two-bag-
ger. When Oak took the field in the
next inning Strickland was content to
be back on the initial sack. Kickliter
finished the game for Oak.
The game started off like it was to
be good one. Neither team made a
run until the fourth, when Ocala
made two. Oak made one in the sixth
and one in the eighth. 0cala made one
in the seventh. Oak made four in
the ninth, making the score 6 to 8 in
favor of Oak. When we came in for
our half in the ninth we made three
runs, tying the score. Neither team
scored in the tenth and Ocala made
the winning run in the eleventh.
The special features of the games
were the two umpires. Both men
were trying to be fair and square but
they surely did make a bum job of
the game. No game in Oeala has seen
such poor decisions and so much
squabbling as this game brought
forth Time after time the umpires
would let little argument change
their decisions. It is to be hoped that
no such demonstration of baseball viii
ever be staged IN Ocala again.

liza street, has been leased by Mr.. w.
L. Dixon of Newberry. who is having
same made ready for retail grocery
store. The new establishment is to
be operated on the cash system, and
will make delivery anywhere in the
city limits.
Mr.. Dixon has for number of
years been in the grocery business. in

one for him. Just what name he will
bestow on his Ocala store he has not
decided, but promises the people of
the city the very best there is in the
grocery line. It is expected the new
place viii be ready for business the
