FREAK HOT WATER WELL
FLOWS ls DAYS IN FLORIDA

Sebring, Fla, Aug. 2s.-Hot
water which began flowing eighteen
days ago from well being driven
for local concern still was coming
to the surface today at rate Of
forty gallons a minute. Throughout
the period the flow has maintained
an even temperature of 1So degrees.
1t is said. to be the second instance
of hot-flowing well observed in
Florida, one having been drilled at
Pensacola about twenty years ago.
The flow Of the Pensacola well was
lost when the drill broke through the
rock and diverted the water into a
subterranean lake.
Sebring is~about forty miles north,
west Of Lake 0keechobee, and in
that part Of the State whose forma-
ton indicates it once was the open
sea, the land having been built upon
coral reefs.

such careless driving and then when

cense he did not have any. I gave
him summons then. There were
two women in the automobile with
him., -.

the. trouble" replied Ness. "They

PRISON BALL CLUB
ANXIOUS TO PLAY
Wants Games for Saturday and La.
Dor Day-of Is contests "Tis-
ers" Won IS.

The State.
Down at the penitentiary, closely
guarded by men in uniform and large
brick walls, one of the best baseball
teams in the state has been develop
ed this year and the aggregation is
running near, the close Of the season
with only one defeat so far. Strange
as it may seem, the fact remains that
the penitentiary has first class ball
club that can come near putting any
other team in the state to rout, ex-
cepting the league clubs only.
Some star players are confined
behind the walls and they are al
lowed to participate in the games
every Saturday. The team is being
managed by Howard Clarke, former
college star, and has several former
professional players in the lineup.
Due to the kindness Of Col. A. K.
Sanders, superintendent Of the peni-
tentiary, and Capt. r. NJ. Day, head
Of the guard, teams from the outside
have been allowed to visit the prison
nine, which is known as the Gagged
Tigers" -.
After winning >15 games and losing
one, Manager Clarke is anxious to,
take on several other teams before:
the spproach Of football weather.
Next Monday the prisoners have p
and the team is anxious to
play one or two teams from the out
side on that day. A game is also
wanted for the coming Saturday.
Teams wishing to meet the Gagged
Tigers" are asked to communicate
with Manager Clarke at telephone
5021. Manager Clarke says he is, de-
s:rous Of meeting some of. the city
league representatives.
A glance at some Of the men hold
ing down positions on the Gagged
Tigers" shows that the team has a
lot Of good material. O'Neal, for
merly in the South Atlantic asso-
ciation, is playing short stop and
Mills, a product. Of the Million Dol
lar league in Georgia, is pastiming
around the hot, corner. Geddings
from the Tri1County league is doing
the receiving, while Rogers and
Maree, both of whom played three
years in the Washington. City league
are doing good work for the prison
nine. Clarke, the manager, is doing
part of tho hurling and is being as
sisted by Elders, a Columbia boy
who is said to. be showing q world
Of stuff. Several league scouts nave
been watching him.
In view of the showing made this
year Captain Day has promised the
boys larger diamond next season.
Managers Of the Sally league clubs
have been assisting the teams by fur
balls and bats. Managers
Beck, and Kelly have supplied the
team throughout a good part of the
year. ..
In game played Saturday the
Gagged Tigers" trounced the Pacific
mills crew by score of 6 to 1,
Clarke letting the vieitors down with
three hits. Tate for the visitors
pitched well until the seventh, when
poor support and hard hitting netted
the Tigers five runs and the game.
Clarke, although inclined to be a
bit wild, was given good support as
usual by the fast infeld. Twice. he
allowed the bases to jam by way of
the free transportation ticket, but
clever fielding pulled him through
without a score.
Moses's home run accounted for
the only alien run, his hit being a
terrific drive, the longest ever made
at the penitentiary.

CUTTING cHR1srMAs TREES.

In much the same way that hunters
roam about the country there have been
those who in years past made it a prac-
lice 10 90 upon the land of others and
take away trees for Christmas decora-
lions in such quantity as served their
pur use. Because It was not considered
that thsy We're OF value no thought was

cutting OF paying for the trees. For one
person TO go out n this manner and
bring home 4 Christmas tree there might
he 20 great loss to the property Of the
. one from which It vas cut, but where
it gets to be a practice on the part OF
many without regard for the damage
that IS done or the wishes of the owner
IT IS easily overdone and because of that
81 .sial law dealing with such cases
Las been enacted.
Thus il is well to remember that while
n certain amount of Christmas greens
may be taken without running counter
to. the law cutting trees is prohibited and
II is well that the state forester should
call the attention of the public to this
situation at this time when there are
SO many travelling through the country
in machines. and perhaps guing out fol

Those who go into the country after
Christmas trees are too often consider.

as do the hunters who go through tn,
woods and fields leaving down bars ane
permitting cattle TO wander and drop

Likewise are there those who view
what grows in the country as common
property and all that is necessary is t

and load uD their teams with Christina
