WILDCATS WERE WORSTED

Those fans who were lucky enough
tc go to Leesburg yesterday afternoon
report one of the best games of this
season when the Leesburg boys beat
US in a two to one count. The re-
porter was not one of those lucky
ones so will have to give a very con-
densed story of the game. Lariscy
performed for his team with ever
more than his usual effectiveness ana
held the Wildcats to three hits. Fisher
did almost as well for us as he only
let up five safe blows. The errors
were divided evenly with three for
Ccala and four for Leesburg. The
winning run of the close game was
made on pretty squeeze pulled off
by Porter and Stephens. Taylor ana
Bracken again pulled off a double
from first to third. This is the sec
ond time these boys have pulled that
stunt and it is no easy matter to
throw the ball twice across the dia-
mond and catch both men. These
two teams play in Ocala this after
roon with the probable pitchers
Scharding for Leesburg and Alvarez
for Ocala.

ARLO'S ARMY ADVANCES

Not being able to follow the Wild
cats to Leesburg yesterday and yet
being of a nature that Graves base
ball on Thursday afternoon, the
Stars diamond duster took his trusty
ark and cruised up to Oak yesterday
afternoon, taking Sally Walters, first
mate and frankie Harris as purser.
1t was reported in Ocala that Arlo
ard Williston were going to cross
bats on the Oak lot but the report
was slightly in error. Fairfield was
the outfit that opposed the Arlo nine.
Fairfield had in her lineup many of
our old friends and we thought they
would give Arlo a real battle but it
appears that Bull-Young, Lucy Dams
by, Walton Bishop and the rest of
the boys have not been playing much
baseball together for their team
lacked the unity that it takes to play
a good game of ball. When we arriv-
ed on the scene of action Roy Lindsay
rushed over and asked the scribe to
keep score for them. Little suspect
ing the duplicity of Roy, we consent
ed to mark down the runs for him but
by the end of the fifth inning our
paper and pencil gave out and we de-
cided to return to Ocala as we had
already seen more than 35c. worth OF
baseball. When we left the score
was Is to 0 in Arlo's favor. We haven't
| heard the final result.

IMPROVEMENTS AT
THE FLORIDA HOUSE

In nearly every issue of the Star
there is some mention of the improve
ments in the way of remodeling and
building which are going on in Ocala.
These improvements are of the per-
manent kind and tell in palmer lam
guage than written words can of the
growth of our little city.
There is hardly house in the city
for rent and as the places fill up and
new houses are built and occupied,
property owners are taking advantage
of the slight lull before the winter
season to enlarge their accommoda-
tions and this is the case at the Flor
ida House. Right now the present
building is filled and more room is
NEEDED Wednesday night of this week
every room was taken and guests
were turned away. This attractive
hotel under the management of Mr..
and Mrs. H. J. Goldsmith has an ex-
cellent reputation over the state and
consequently each month and day
their patronage increases.
Mr.. and Mrs. Goldsmith came to
Ocala and purchased from Mr.. Eugene
Dobbs what is knownsas the Florida
House. At that time it was a plain
wooden building. Plans were immed-
lately made to improve and renovate
the place inside and out. The two
| buildings comprising the hotel were
succeed, which gave the outside an
attractive appearance, and paint and
paper were used lavishly inside. The
house at that time contained about
thirty rooms. which last season and
this summer have been filled.
The management has recently been
compelled to add on twelve more
rooms and these will only accommo-
date the regular guests of the house
This addition is now well under way
1t is about IS by 40 feet and will con-
tain six large, we'll ventilated rooms
upstairs and six downstairs with con.
Meeting baths and shower baths
which will add much to the comfort
of the guests. The dining room, lobby
and sleeping rooms in the main par
of the building have recently been en-
tirely renovated and when the new
annex is completed the house will b.
as spic and span as paint and pape1
can make it.
: The Florida House with its excel
lent cuisine, its comfortable rooms
its large porches and comfortable fur
nishings is one of the most home-lik
and upto-date hostelries in the cit,
and its present owners and proprietor
do everything possible for the com
fort and convenience of their guests.

CORD-BREAKING CASE
OF HEARTLESS DESERTION

Jacksonville, Aug. 25.-The cries
of babe, its first day, apparently,
in the world, wiggling and kicking
under the bites of mosquitoes and
crawling ants, attracted two small
boys to its plight yesterday. The
baby had been abandoned in an un-
derbrush on the outskirts of the Tai
leyrand section of the city. 1t was
wrapped in paper, through which its
tiny feet had kicked. The infant, an
e;ght-pounder, was turned over to the
Children's Home, apparently little
handicapped by its early experience
No clue has been found as to its par
ents.
