GETTING READY
FOR THE GRIDIRON

The first move for a 1922 o. III. S.
football team was made Friday night
in an enthusiastic and we'll attended
meeting at the high school building
The boys who are interested in the
team and who intend trying for it met
with Mr.. LOOMS Bitch, who is going
to coach the team this year. Mr.
Bitch told the boys that they would
begin regular practice on Monday
September 11th. All boys who are
working this summer will quit thei1
jobs in order to begin practice at thai
time.
Mr.. Bitch advised the boys to be
gin mild training at once, cutting ou
tobacco and limiting their soft drinks
Co within one hour of meal time. Tn,
new coach is already putting life int
the boys and they expect to put rea
team on the gridiron this year.
The team is already practicing ev
cry afternoon and is getting aecus
toned to the feel of the bali and t.
catching punts and forward passes
Before the meeting closed, Mr.. Blitcl
obtained the weight, height, expert
ence and position played by each bo,
present in order that he may begi
at once in making plans for the cam
paign of his team.
The boys debated for few minute
on suitable name for their team an

used the name they would call them
selves the Wildcats and do their bes

IT'S A GOOD THING
PUSH IT ALONG
Interest is Constantly Increasing In
Organization of the Tomato
Growers Association

The series of meetings held this
week in the various tomato growing
sections of Marion county have de-
veloped much interest in the tomato
growers association. The attendance
at all of the meetings held in Marion
county was good. The growers agree
that the marketing of the tomato crop
in the past has not been satisfactory
and they believe that there is need
for a marketing organization operated
by the growers themselves. Mr.. Sam
uel c. Hood, field representative of
the North American Fruit Exchange,
Mr.. K. c. Moore, county agent and Mr..
Louis II. Chazal, secretary of the
Marion County Chamber of Commerce,
finished up the series of meetings at
Bushnell in Sumter county, yesterday
morning. The tomato growers of
Sumter county, however, did not turn
out for the meeting. Only two were
present. Although the Sumter County
Chamber of Commerce had given the
made every effort to get the growers
together. A better attended meeting
had been held at Wildwood and it is
still hoped that at least one or two
locals might be organized in Sumter
county for 1928. Committees have
been named in each of the tomato
growing sections for the purpose of
obtaining memberships in the associa-
tion. A name for the association has
not been definitely decided on as yet.
| If the association is limited in the
main to Marion county it will probab.
ly be known as the Marion County
| Tomato Growers Association. If there
are a good proportion of locals in ad-
| joining counties some other name will
probably be selected which will be
| suitable to everyone.
Mr.. Hood left Friday afternoon for
| North Carolina to assist with the Or
| ganization of the sweet potato grow
ers of that state. The completion of
the tomato growers association In
Marion county, therefore, is now in
the hands of the temporary officers
who have been named from among the
growers. AS soon as the locals are
| formed and the organization of the
association is completed permanent
officers will be elected. An effort wilt
be made to complete the organization
as soon as possible. Altho the next
tomato season is some months off
there are many things to be prepared
for if the association is to handle the
1923 crop.

STAMPED THEMSELVES
AS BUM SPORTS

This article is not going to look like
any other baseball write-up ever seen
in the Star. The Ocala team and the
Ocala fans hate what is known as
"alibi stuff" Had we lost the game
Friday in Leesburg we could not write
what really happened because it would
appear that we were looking for an
alibi, but since the game ended in a
13-inning to tie, we are not bound
by any fear of ridicule in speaking our
minds on the subject. Leesburg SYM
pathizers had better stop reading this
article right here because it is going
to get close to the truth.
In the game Friday the Leesburg
management showed a niece of the
worst craftsmanship ever displayed on
a ball diamond. In Ocala's half of the
thirteenth inning they made two runs
and then Umpire Ryan called Brown
safe on slide into third. Leesburg
fandom was incensed and the Lees
burg management rushed on the
diamond and jerked Umpire Ryan
from the game. Then the Leesburg
boys said it was raining too hard to
play ball (although it had been rain
ing for two or three innings) and went
into their dugout to let the rain stop.
The rule for waiting on rain is halt
an hour. Twelve minutes after the
game was stopped on account of rain
the sun was shining and no rain was
falling. Ocala's team was on the dia-
mond, in their uniforms and ready to
resume the game but the Leesburg
team had dressed and left the park
We wonder if they would have left if
they had been two runs ahead and the
inning unfinished. According to ou1
way of figuring a baseball game the
score should be 9 to 0 in Ocala's favor
because of forfeiture on two counts
removing an umpire and not waiting
the required time to see whether the
rain would continue or stop.
This is not the first example showr
this year of the bum sports at the
head of the Leesburg team. Thurs
days game in Ocala showed the use
of the emery ball. 1t also showed
signal stealing. This is not agains1
the rules of baseball and it is up tx
the catcher and pitcher to see that the
opposing team is unable to secure
their signals but on the other hand i
is a rather unsportsmanlike way O.
winning ball games.
So much for Leesburg VS.. Ocala
Now a little example or two of tn
stuff that has been pulled on othe
teams playing in Leesburg this year

OCALA PEOPLE ARE
VISITING OTHER SECTIONS

During the past three months a
number of Ocala business and profess
sional men have motored to the lower
east coast section to see what is max
ing that section so attractive and to
learn why it has proven so
learn why it has grown so rapidly in
the past few years.
Without an exception they have re-
turned filled to overfiowing with en-
thusiasm and praise for the enter
prise and progress of the people along
the east coast. In the first place they
saw it is the wonderful highways that
have been largely responsible for the
rapid development.
The Ocala people learned that there
are now about 400 multi-millionaires
interested in, properties in and around
Miami and they are expending many
millions every year in developing
beautiful estates, handsome winter
homes and resorts and they are con-
tipually interesting their wealthy
friends and the improvements are 60
ing ahead at a wonderful pace.
These visits have been the result OF
the work of Mr.. G. W. Parks, district
manager for the Hollywood Land and
Water Company, half million dollar
corporation that is building the new
resort city of Hollywood-By-the-Sea,
fifteen miles north of Miami. A model
city is being created from what was
a pine forest and tomato fields lit
tie over year ago, with all streets
paved, cement walks and curbing con.
structed, business buildings, public
buildings, a hundred room concrete
hotel, an eighteen hole golf course ano
| club house, fine depot, school, post
Office, fire station, water works, elec.
trio light and power plant, garages
lumber yard, novelty works, concrete
tile and brick plant and more thar
twenty concrete homes already bull
or in course of construction.
All of the Ocala people who hav'
visited Hollywood say it is one of tn
finest planned cities they have eve
seen and most of them have investe,
in lots as they believe it has a grea
future. They also say that they hav
learned many valuable lessons from
their trip and they believe Ocala ca
be made one of the big attractions 70
motorists and tourists, as soon a
good roads are completed into th1
city from other sections of the stats
especially with such feature as beau
tiful Silver Springs to draw theE
here.
| These trips have proven conclusive
iy that it is good for the home peopl
to get out and see what is being don
in other communities. even If they IL
vest some of their money away fror
home. They say that they expect I
make good profit on their invest
ments in the next year or two an
then they viii put that extra none
into investments in Ocala and SUI
. rounding section.

the early part of the season that was
won by correct baseball so far as the
rules go but was it good sport? Here
is an extract from the Leesburg Com
mercial giving in detail the stunt re-
ferred to:
''In long drawn out contest Lees
burg defeated the Inverness boys by
a score of three to two. Both Lariscy
and Boswell pitched good ball but
Leesburg nosed the winning run in the
eighth inning on weird play by Bos,
well. In this inning Carpenter, first
man up, singled to right. Cobb came
up to bat and Potter stepped out in
front of the players bench and asked
Boswell to let him see. the ball. Bos-
well promptly threw it towards him.
Porter then stepped out of the way
and let the ball roll out on the ground
and before it was recovered Carpenter
had scored the run which won the
game"
! This play was much discussed III
baseball circles at the time and all
lovers of the game agreed that it was
not against any rule of baseball but
likewise agreed that it wasn't very
good ethics,
That instance is fact. Here is one
based on hearsay evidence. Fans
/ from Oxford and Wildwood told the
story in Ocala. During one of the
Palatka games in Leesburg the score
was running neck and neck and slow
rain was falling all during the game
In one inning Leesburg was lucky
enough to nose one run ahead and the
game was Immediately called on &C,
count of rain although the disinterest-
ed fans reporting the story said that
the rain was not one bit harder thar
it had been during the rest of the
game.
The opinion of the fans who saw
Fridays game in Leesburg seems t,
be that Ocala should refuse to play
any more games with Leesburg unde
the present management and that al
diplomatic relations between the tw
teams should be severed.
The result of yesterdays game was
