struck stump in the performance
of their duty. The mayor recently
issued an order to the effect that all
persons attending the ball games
should pay admission and detailed a
special policeman to enforce this
order. The first game or so after the
order went into effect the increase in
gate receipts was very noticeable but
it soon began to fall off again. At
tention was called to the fact that
many cars we're parking over on
South Orange street along the outside
of the baseball park and that this cut
a considerable slice out of the gate
| receipts. Repeated effort has been
made to collect from those occupying
these cars but to no avail. Finally
the special policeman was asked to GO
and suggest that they either pay or
move on. Much to the officers sur
prise they told him that they were OF
public street and that they would
stay there until they got good and
ready to move on, and that they would
not pay one cent towards helping out
the team that they liked so well to
see play. Doesn't that beat all you
ever heard of? Aren't you surprised
to hear that Ocala contains such peo-
pie? Do you know who they are? If
you don't, just take. look at them
next time we have a game. They
will be there for the, police cannot
move them. If you know any of
them go over and speak to them and
tell them that you hope they enjoy
the free game.
Ocala Will Play at Home ON the
Fourth
After considerable trouble and
work, Jake Goldman has succeeded in
getting a game in Ocala for the 4th
of July. The Tarpon Springs boys
liked Ocala so we'll the last time they
were here that they want to repeat the
Dose We liked the, Tarpon boys, too,
so Jake told them to come and play
two games with US, one on the fourth
and one on the fifth. You won't need
to leave Ocala on the fourth for a
celebration. A good suggestion for
large day is to take your dinner and
go to the springs in the morning
Have a swim and eat your lunch in
the shade, then return to town about
$3.50 and go out to the game. You re-
kmember what good games Tarpon
gave US last time. so there is no need
making any big talk about that. Just
bear in mind that we are going to
pay these boys $3.50 to amuse Ocals
fans on the fourth and fifth. Don't
fail to come out and be amused and
incidentally pay your so cents to-
wards raising that $3.50.
