Seventeen to five was the score-and

o fthe game was Sparta's left fielder,
whose oversight and attention were SO
keen that he let the ball lay close to
him and permitted Lad Garin a home
run. Curtis made a nice clean circuit
smash. Sparta's pitcher was touch

BAD OUTLOOK FOR BASEBALL

The Ocala fans have declared that
they no longer care for baseball.
They prove that it is immaterial TO
them whether we have team or not
They have voted by large majority
TO disband the team and that is what
is going TO be done after next week.
We play Lake City here Monday and
Tuesday and go to Palatka for three
return games on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday. After that the men who
are financing the team are of the
opinion that it is best for them to
comply with the wishes of the public
and disband the team for the season.
AS an explanation Of this action to
those who do not know the inner
workings of the team it might be well
to state that eighteen of your loyal
fans got together and put up 5000
each in hard cold cash to run the team
with an understanding that at the end
Of the season they would receive
back pro rata all that was not used
of their $500. The management ex-
pected to be able to return to these
loyal supporters nearly all if not all
of their money but they reckoned not
with the decision that you fans have
recently given. The team is getting
| further and further in the hole. 1t
costs between $500 and S700 a week
to run your team and pay all ex-
pcnses. This week. for example, they
have been playing the strongest
teams in the state. The Pals are ac-
knowledged as the best semi-pro team
in Florida and the gate receipts for
the two days the Wildcats have al
ready played this team were S171 and
| STA. Any other town in the state is
turning out in $500 and $500 crowds
to see their teams play. Ocala gets
less than $500. The largest crowd
we have turned out this year was
when we played Leesburg on the 4th
of July and then we got less than
$500. Lake City reports 1900 people
at their games often and Lake City
isn't as large as Ocala. In addition to
the poor crowds the management has
sent out letters to over a hundred
good fans requesting a donation and
has received thus far only two or
three answers and they for $40 Or less
Unless crowds pick up or donations
roll in quickly the team is done The
men who have put up 5000 to under
write the team feel that they have al
ready lost enough and don't care to
pay for your amusement the rest of
the summer. Thy expect to cancel all
games and divide up their loss with a
smile but remember their experience
in years to come.
Many good games with Leesburg,
Gainesville and others are already
scheduled to run through Labor Day,
and there is money enough in the
bank to run the team that long but
these eighteen men do not feel that it
is up to them to pay for the amuse-
ment of several hundred fans or to
furnish Ocala with the free advertis-
ing that a team gives.
This is not request for money. 1t
is demand that you send C. G. Rose
or Dick Stroud large check P. D. Q.

IS 1T PRESIDENT HARDING
OR PRESIDENT SOFTING ?

Several weeks ago, the railroad la
Dor board made decision which a
majority of the organized railway
shopmen resented, and most of them
went out on strike The board and
the railroads gave them plenty of time
TO return to work with full privileges.
They decided to stay out. Whereupon
the labor board and the railroad ex-
ecutives declared their seniority priv
ileges forfeited, and declared they
could return only as new employees
This was just and right. If you are
an employer, if man is working for
you, decides he can't work on your
terms and quits, leaving you in the
lurch, hoping that his quitting will
harm you so much that you will have
to submit to his demands, and another
man comes in and takes up the quit
ter's work. and then, if the first man
offers to return. on his own terms,
and you accept. and fire the man who
helped you, or put him under the
orders of the returned employe, you
are an migrate, also a fool, for when
your striker strikes again, no sensi-
BILE man will work for you.
Yet this is what it seems like your
business manager, Warren G. Hard
ing, president of the United States, is
trying to do.
About two weeks ago, a railroad
man, occupying minor position, but
we presume fully entitled to speak for
his fellow workers, sent President
Harding message, denouncing him
for his course in supporting the labor
board. And Mr.. Harding replied with
a good, old-fashioned expression of
American sentiment, such as made us
proud of him-that every man had a
right to quit work, and every man
had right to work, and that he, the
president, would do all in his power
to protect all men in their rights.
This was enough said. If the presi-
dent had stuck to this, the strike
would have soon been over. But in a
few days Mr.. Harding reverses him.
self, and says the railroads had better
restore their seniority to the strikers
if they will go back to work.
Of what use is the right, proudly
Wanted by Mr.. Harding, of an Ameri-
can to work if striker protected by
politician, can come along and kick
him out of his job
Of what use is the labor board
when the president stands by it one
week and goes back on it the next?
How can the railroads promise men
work if the government can make
them break their promises?
What assurance has the private
citizen that freight and passenger
transportation, vital not only to his
business but to his existence, will not
be shut off any time it suits the men
entrusted with it.
We thought for awhile that we had
man in the White House, but we
fear we have only big lump of
cheese.
If Wilson was president, there
would be no strike. What the strik-
ers demanded he would at once hand
them on silver platter. But Wilson
was consistent. He believes union Ia
Dor is the salt of this world and
4
in the next. Nobody knows what
Harding believes nor what he will do
The only guess we make is that he
will do what the side that scares him
| the most wants him to do.
Meanwhile the public suffers.
