ASKS AID FOR BASE

Mayor Anderson Says Support of the
Home Team is an Index to Pro
gressive Spirit of a City
0cala, Fla, March ). 1872

Ocala. Fla, March 5. 1921.
Editor Star: / wish to utilize the
columns of your paper for the purpose
OF making an appeal to the citizens
OF Ocala to assiststhe 0cala Baseball
Association in its plan to organize and
equip a baseball team TO represent
the city the coming season.
1t Is almost universally recognized
now that baseball team is. to some
extent, an index to the progress of a
city Those cities which are progress
slve, up-to-date in every way. where
business is active in all lines, invar-
lably are represented by a baseball
team. Where the town is less pro-
gressive and business conditions are
inactive, such a state of affairs is re-
fected always in the status of the
town in the field of baseball. Such a
town either has no team at all, or
very poor one.
We cannot afford to be classified by
the baseball fans as a backward city.
DN~oNSS man Is q Ac4Ls anu
each fan bases to a large Sextent his
estimate of a town upon his estimate
of its bali team.
The citizens of 0cala viii be ap-
preached during next week by repre-
sentatives of the Ocala Baseball As
sociation, and requested to contribute
to the organization and equipment Of
a baseball team. The money so con-
tributed viii be used solely for base
ball purposes, and will be expended
in as prudent and as economical a
manner as it is possible; and / re-
spectfully request the cooperation of
every citizen in the city Of 0cala in
the raising of the necessary funds to
put Ocala on the baseball map of
Florida. If you cannot give a large
amount, give what you are able TO,
and such amount as you can give win
be carefully and economically ex-
pended for the purpose of providing
baseball during the four summer
months. Respectfully,
r. L. Anderson Jr-, Mayor.

that Gilpin, Van Trump and Mont
gomery. insurance brokers, be desig-
mated as the placing agency for the
insurance on the school buildings
for s2,273,5oo and to place the in
surance in fifteen companies.
President Souder opposed the
high insurance, contending that the
valuation on the buildings was high.
An amendment presented by him
while former President Rommel was
in the chair that the Insurance be
reduced s750,0DO was adopted with
/ but two dissenting votes. The vote
VI Ai' dultuutu inOllOn was Qndnl-

When the question OF placing the
fire insurance was brought up Pres
ident Souder, he said. The insur-
ance problem has proved to be a
very complicated one and have not
felt satisfied with what has been
done nor do I know what is best 10
