LADY LUCK IS
WITH THE LOCALS
Defeated the Arlo Box Company Team
At Oak by the Narrow Score
Of Five to Four
The Wildcats broke . their losing
streak yesterday afternoon when they
beat Oak by a score of five to four on
the Oak diamond. The Arlo boys
outplayed the Wildcats at every stage
of the game but lady luck was resting
on the Wildcats' bench and they could
not lose the game. Taylor pitched for
the Ocala boys and held the Arlo
team to seven hits. Ocala secured ten
safeties off Katz but the Wildcats
made seven errors that should hae
lost the game where the element of
luck did not hold a powerful hand.
In spite of its errors and loose
playing, the game was a very inter
esting one for both teams threatened
to score many times when they were
held on third. Time after time ,the
fans would think that several runs
would be made when the pitchers
would pull out of the terrible holes
and get on safe ground again.
Woodward for the Arlo gang made
a wonderful catch of a foul off third
base. He ran clear up to the players'
bench and caught the ball just as he
fell headlong over the bench. M.
Overstreet played center field in
Liddell's place and covered himself
with glory by making two shoestring
catches during the game. Taylor,
Leon and Smith each got two-base
hits.

LITTLE TOO CLOSE
He Has the Constitutional Right To
Express His Sympathy With
The Railroad Strikers
Emporia, Kan., July 22. (By the
Associated Press). Governor Allen
had failed early today to persuade his
life-long friend, Editor William Allen
White, to remove from the window of
the Emporia Gazette a yellow placard
expressing sympathy with the strik
ing railroad shopmen and a final con
ference will be held at Topeka today
to decide who should swear to infor
mation on which it was expected
White would be arrested. White's
colors were still flying this morning.
He had not removed the placard
which announces "We are for the
striking railroad men, fifty per cent."
The governor holds displaying the
card is a violation of the state court
of industrial relations law, which for

WITH THE COMPANIES
Railway. Brotherhoods Sympathize
With Strikers, But Scrupulously
Observe Contracts
(Press Information Service)
Cleveland, July 22. Members of
the four railroad brotherhoods, the
engineers, conductors, firemen and
train, while heartily in sympathy with
the action of the railway shop em
ployes who are striking to maintain a
decent standard of living, have never
theless been ordered by their officers
to perform scrupulously all their usu
al duties under the terms of -'their
agreemnts with the railroad com
panies, no more and no less. At the
same time, hey are advised under no
circumstances to do work previously
done by or take the place of any of
the striking employes, under penalty
of expulsion. In other words, the
chiefs of the brotherhoods recognize
the strike of the shopmen as legal
and justifiable, but in accordance with
their well-established policy, they will
not violate the solemn contracts for
service which they have previously
made with the railway companies.
While observing carefully the terms
of their agreemnts, the railway
brotherhoods are protesting to the In
terstate Commerce Commission
against the action of certain railroads
affected by the strike in compelling
train service employes to take out en
gines which are dangerously unsafe,
jeopardizing the lives of the employes
as well as the traveling public. Be
cause of the shopmen's strike, the
general yardmaster of the Kansas
City terminal has just posted notices
requiring engineers to move trains
over congested and foreign tracks
without air being coupled for the op
eration of air brakes. On other lines
headlights are out of repair, engine
flues are leaking, injectors fail to
work, water glasses are broken, and
other defects are unrepaired which
endanger the lives of the employes as
well as the public.
The rules of the Interstate Comr
merce Commission forbid the opera
tion of engines in such condition, and
the brotherhood chiefs have appealed
directly to the bureau of safety and
the bureau of locomotive inspection
maintained by the commission to see
that these practices are immediately
stopped. In extreme cases, the trans
portation brotherhood executives have
themselves taken the initiative and
authorized their men to refuse to
operate trains under conditions which
obviously imperil life and limb.

"blackhead" into the state if breeding
stock is imported from the north.

SPELLING PROGRESS
LARGE AT CITRA
Improvement is the Watchword Today
la the Native' Home of The
Pineapple Orange
j " " " UiC -A.-"
j mous pinapple orange originated, in
clude a large citrus packing house, a
bank, an increase in the acreage in
orange groves and a projected electric
light, ice and cold storage plant.
A new company, the Crosby-Wart-mann
Packing Company, has broken
ground on a beautiful site . at the -junction
of the Seaboard and the At
lantic Coast Line railroads immed
iately north of Citra for an orange
packing house 70 by 150 feet. The
packing house will be equipped with
the very latest machinery and will
have a capacity of three cars of fruit
a day.- The officers of the company
are Mr. E. L. Wartmann, president
and treasurer, Mr. W. J. Crosby, sec
retary and manager, Citra, and Mr.
W. T. C. Carpenter and Mr. Kenneth
H. Day, directors, New York city. The
fruit of the famous Bishop-Hoyt
grove, owned by Crosby & Wartmann,
will be packed in the new house as
well as the fruit from other grove
there. Crosby & Wartmann will put
out their fruit in a pack even more
attractive than heretofore and all of
their new labels will carry the words,
"Citra, Marion county, Florida."
Crosby & Wartmann added twenty
five acres to their groves this spring
and now have 200 acres 100 acres in
bearing trees and 100 acres in young
trees. Many of the trees in the Cros
by & Wartmann groves are budded on
the wild orange roots found in the
hammocks around Citra. The groves
are in splendid condition and are
beautiful to look at. That the Citra
section is ideal for citrus fruits is
shown by a three-year grove on the
Crosby & Wartmann property. At two
years this grove of about eight acres
produced forty-six boxes of fruit.
This season in its third year the
grove will produce about 200 boxes.
The growth of these trees within a
year's time has been remarkable.
Mr. John L. Edwards of Ocala, and
Mr. W. J. Crosby of Citra, have pur
chased the John S. Wyckoff grove lo
cated in the old Spanish grant there.
The property contains twenty-four
acres on which there are pineapple
orange trees amounting to about ten
acres in the grove. The new owners
will fill out the. entire twenty-four
acres.
The new bank at Citra will open
next Thursday, July 27. The bank's
new building is completed and it is
expected that the fixtures will be in
place in time for the opening.
An electric light, ice and cold stor
age plant for Citra is being promot
ed. It is planned that the plant will
not only furnish light for Citra
homes and streets, but will furnish
lights for Island Grove across Orange
Lake and furnish power for the or
ange packing houses at Citra. The
plant is being planned with a cold
storage capacity of 100,000 pounds.
A considerable part of the stock
of the company which proposes to
build this plant, the Citra Ice, Light
& Development Company, has been
subscribed.
CULTURE OF GRAPES
IN MARION COUNTY
Knowing that grapes grow wild
throughout Marion county, Mr. H. L.
Shearer of Cottage Hill, this county,
and Mr. Edwin Spencer Jr., of Lake
land, have made arrangements to
plant forty acres of the famous Car
men grapes at Cottage HilL Stock
for planting a nursery of five acres
which will provide cuttings for the
forty acres has been purchased and
the planting will be made about Jan
uary. The Carmen grape is a cross
on the native Florida grape and one of
the men who has been most interested
in the development of the Carmen
has said that Marion county is an
ideal section for growing these grapes.
Mr. Shearer has just returned from
a trip to South Florida where inter-
est in grape culture has become wide-
i spread. He stated that tracts oi as
much as 200 acres are being planted
in grapes. Carmen grapes, he says,
find a ready market in the north and
come in when other grapes are not
on the market. One grower near
Lakeland has sold his grapes this sea
son for from twenty to thirty cents a
pound wholesale. ;
