LAKEI.AND DEFEATS PIERCE + BY SCORE OF 3 TO 2 The game played yesterday be- tween Pierce and Lakeland resulted in a victory for the latter by the score of 3 to 2. The game was Lakeland’s from the start, when they scored three runs by ‘long hits by S. Meharg and Smith. get a man around until the eighth inning, when a long hit to ‘right field scored two men. Lakeland, was never in trouble. A bad decision on first in the ninth inning, seemed to start a rally for Pierce, but their hopes were soon shattered by an attempt to steal sec- ond, which failed. Lawler’s pegging yesterday was perfect, not a base being stolen on him. This game was a credit to our boys as Plerce is one of the strongest teams in South Florida. Lakeland plays Loughman at that place Tuesday, and another victory ‘ is expected. Batteries—Lakeland, Chiles and Lawler; Pierce, Bowden and Revels. AMATEUR PLAY WS wew NOTBLE SUCGESS | Large Crowd Was Greatly Pleas- | ed Last Night With Presenta- J tion of “Bishop of Ballarat” | A large audience gathered at the | Auditorium last night to witness '*“The Bshop of Ballarat,” a throe-act comedy presented by ladies and gen- tlemen of Lakeland, all amateurs, under the direction of Mrs. A. B. Lovell. Tho play had been thor- oughly rehearsed and the perform- ance went through with such ad- mirable -smoothness without any of the hitches so often observed in amateur work that the uninitiated might have easily mistaken the members of the cast for profession- The adience was pleased all the way through and manifested its approval in frequent applause. The fun in the play turns upon the imprsonation of the Bishop of Ballarat by Mr. Jones, who travels for a hymn book store and also cells playing cards on the side, and right here let us say that Jones was great. Mr. William Steitz took the part and he put into it the vigor and Liumor c¢f a true comedian and kept his audience laughing at the ludic rous situations into which he got and the dexterity with which he ex- tricated himself. J Mr. R. E. Lufsey in the leading role of Ebenezer Goodly was made als. .i® | up perfectly for the part and carried himself with the ease of a profes- sional through the many misadven- tures and embarrassments he en- countered. His work was excellent as was that of Miss Florence Coni- bear, who took the part of Ebenez- er's wife and was a very charming matron who played her role with fine effect. Marjorie Goodly, daughter of the unfortuncte and sorely harried Ebe- nezer, was represefted by Miss Hel- en Conibear and this bright and lovely grl had cnly to be her natural self to play the part to perfection, as she did. ' Richard Heatherly, engaged to Marjorie, wis played by Mr. W. W. McClain. It was a difficult role, for Richard got into all eorts of trou- ble, but he went through the part all right and fully sustalned the . character. Mrs. Willlam Steitz took the part of Hilda, s, Swedish housemaid, sup- posel to be not too observant mcr over-bright, but that’s where she fooled 'em, for she was _uncommonly | well equipped in both directions and the way che reached out on all sides for “hush-money” and her success {In gettinz it made her rendition a source of much amusement to the audience.

Miss Josephine Drane as Minerva Goodly was a statcly becuty of splendid stage prescnce and fuily met the requirements of her role. And as for Alvina Star’isht, the 7ld maid eister of Mrs. Goodiy, rep- resented by Miss Helen Hobbs, sha was all that an old maid w'th cork- screw curls and spectacles and very l K3 JUST HEARD ABOUT INSULT INSULTED UNTIL APOL.- OGY WAS OFFERED | President’s Action Instructing Page to Apologize for Mexican Incident Surprised Britishers (By Amsoclated Press) London, Aug. 15.—There {8 much surprise here over President Wilson’s action instructing Ambas- sador Page to apologize to the Eng-, lish government over Ambassador | Wilson's statement, attacking the | British Mexican policy.

Washington, Aug. 156—The Mex- fcan situation was again the sub- ject of a heated debate in the Sen- ate today. Senator Penrose forced the discussion by introduc- ing a resolution calling upon the president to inform the Scnate as to the status of William Bayard Hale in Mexico City. The White House explanation has been that Hale is there supplying information to the the president as a personal friend.

NEW PARCEL POST RULES IN EFFECT TODAY Washington, Aug. 5.—Impor- tant changes in the operation of the parcel post system, recently inaugu- |ruled by Postmaster General Burle- son, became effective today. They include an increase in the maximum welght limit on packages from 11 to 20 pounds, a reduction in the rates of postage within the first and see- ond zones and the substitution of a convenient rate chart for the elab- Orate parcel post map in determining postag rates. The second part of the order is that perishable goods may be sent anywhere within a ra- dius of 150 miles. Heretofore per- ishable goods were receivd only for local delivery. The third scction of the order, and the section which is causing the railroads to protest vig- orously before Congress at Washing- ton, is the marked lowering of the parcel post rates. The first pound costs 5 cents for mailing within the 150-mile radius, as heretofore, but whereas under the old order the cost was 4 cents for each additional pound costs only 1 cent. As an example of the decrease in rates, after Aug. 15 eleven pounds ol matter may be sent by parcel post for 15 cents anywhere within a ra- dius of 150 miles from St. Joseph, Under the present rate the same de- livery would cost 46 cents. Postmaster General Burleson lLias received a great number of protests from express companies throughout the country, but announced that they would not affect his decision, which is supported by the interstate commerce commission.
