al Lang was TINS year voted
the honor of Having done the
most for st. Petersburg" from
among all its citizens, an honor
really worth while, come to think
Of it.
Every big league sports writer
knows Al Lang. He is a tall,
lean, hawkfaced man who came
down here from Pittsburgh some
Is or IL years ago to die quietly
in the sunshine. Instead, he be-
gan to live furiously in that same
sunshine and to pull others down
from the frozen North to join him
in living.
Lang had been a newspaperman
after fashion in Pittsburgh. He
knew something about the value
of publicity and he proceeded in
a typical Lang style to sell St.
Petersburg to everybody. He had
nothing when he came, except a
burning desire to live. Today he
is worth q fortune. He was
among the first to see Florida
possibilities and St. Petersburg in
particular. He has reaped his
just reward.
AL Lang has been mayor of St.
Petersburg. He knows everybody
in the town and half of those
visiting it. He is real live wire.
He is never still. de Is always on
his job of. selling Florida and St.
Petersburg in particular.
In four years, beginning most
modestly, Lang's party has grown
to proportions equaled only by
world series gatherings. At no
other time during a year are so
many baseball men, magnates,
managers, players and writer's
seen together. Rivals chat to-
gether like old friends. Enmities
are buried on all sides. There is
fun and liveliness and jollity from
early morning till late at night.
And when the last man leaves he
is given hearty handshake by
that tall, lean, hawkfaced man and
thanked for having come.
Al Lang is easily the most val
liable man in st. Petersburg, pos
sibly in the whole State of Flor
ida. No other obtains half the
publicity. No other could buy
what is freely given to Lang.
And Florida, st. Petersburg in
particular, is a big gamer. Lang
is a walking advertisement for
Florida's glorious sunshine.

said. "Sam is never going to
