PROPOSED SALE OF LAND
TO ALABAMA WILL CAUSE
MUCH WASTE OF HOT AIR

Tallahassee, April 13-The propos-
ed sale of the western part of the
state to Alabama is expected to cause
an eruption of legislative pyrotech-
MICS when the Lawmakers reach the
question. While the general opinion
among the legislators is that such a
measure cannot be passed at this ses-
sion, a lively tilt over the issue is
predicted.
Strong opposition is expected from
the combined forces of the middle
and western parts of the state. The
opponents of the capitol's removal are
expected to lead in the opposition,
because should the territory GO to
Alabama, it would weaken, according
to political observers, their strongest
argument to retain the seat of gov
ernment here.

during the present school year and
the school gives promise of a larger
in the future.
Fessenden Academy is without

One-sided affair. The Ocala team
showed great need of practice. but
seems to have material for a team,
with few exceptions. Fred Luffman
on third was considerably of his
usual game. Strickland played well
at first base. Harry Wood played
good ball The outfeld had no chance
to show what they had as Luffman
and Clements allowed no hits. Glenn
ents struck out nine men of the
twelve that faced him in the last four
innings.
The Chalmers boys are good sports
and never gave up nor got mad, but
they made the mistake of thinking
Ocala was a high school team when
they wrote US for a game. This aft
ernoon they have called off the second
game with ocala and will play the
high school boys here.
The team came out a little in the
hole yesterday. There were lot tick
cts sold, and nine half admissions,
making total S55.75. Chalmers was
guaranteed $50. War tax S5.5S. Ad-
vertising, hand bills and four balls
was the expense. The gate receipts
just paid the guarantee and the war
tax with II cents over to pay for
balls, advertising and hand bills.
