POLICE FORCE ANSWERS THEW.C.T. U. Editor Telegram: Having noted the article in last night's Telegram under the heading ‘W. C. T. U. Discusses Enforcement of Laws,” we wish to make a few statements In regard to same. It is the same old story all over again, if a boy goes wrong, blame it onto the police. 1f, ‘as stated in the article,**‘a boy went up town at twelve to bum around,” where was “the father and mother that they did not know the whereabouts of the boy? 1Ts it the fault of the police llhat the child is allowed out at that time of the night or is it neglect of the parents? When a boy wants to ’smokc a cigarette, does he walk up 'in front of a policeman to do ie? When a bunch of young boys want to play a game of cards, do they go xout in the public park and play? No, they get as far away from pub- lic sight as possible. In regards to the curfew, do the women of the W. }l‘. T. U. realize how many hoys are employed in Lakeland, that do not get away from their places of employment until long after curfew hours. For instance, every drug store in town has one or two boys who carry cool drink out until ten and ten thirty at night. As to the assertion that officers on the force are betting on the ball games, we will thank any person to bring us proof of this. Until that is done, our names are clear and un- less there are some changes made in the force, they will remain so for {some time to come. .CHIEF POLICE R. C. E. E. ROBERTSON, Patrolman.. RLLIS.

'Elks Won Great Game Yesterday From Mulberry Mayor Eaton Handled the Indicator Like a Veteran and Was Congratu- lated on His Good Eye (By C. Green.) WON IN THE NINTH. thrilling, doesn’t it? With the score six to six in the ninth and three men on base, and every ELK heart going pit-a-pat, ev- ery nerve strained to the utmost, breaths coming in short pants (not something to wear), Brother Pinch, he of the strong arm and mighty bat, clouts out a single, scoring Ver- igan and pandemonium reigns. Ah! how proud he must have been last night, as proud as Doc Richards was soré. One thing regretable about the game was that Home Run Holcomb’s wife was not there to 8ee | toam takes this occasion to thank |sistant Scout the pretty single he got the first time up. “KNOCKER" Bowden was the hero of the first inning driving in two runs with his timely single. Of course we did not know this at the time but he told some one that he had done his share towards the the best stump ofators of the AND HE DIDN'T. An- ‘other player who should be strut- ting around with head away up this ‘'morning is Jack Chunn. Out of four times at bat he got two fine hits, and out of three chances in the field he got every one of them on the first bounce, never allowing the| ball to hit the ground more than once. Outside of a grunt or two Eaton was 'round here. Around the seventh inning his weight com- menced to tell and the grunts came thick and fast. Claire Henley sat on the bench with tears in his eyes for he know how Fred feit. Out- side of fanning three times, Rivers batted the ball in good shape. Veri- gan and King each got three hits. Lakeland should heave a sigh of re- lief this morning to know that she still has a mayor. What chances she took in letting the chief execu- tive go on such a mission! How no- ble he looked as he stood out there with that “I'll do it if it kills me” air! Give him credit, boys, he fielded his position in fine style. Take it all in all, it was not such a bad game and the best team won. The summary: ABR P PO B! King, 2b | Bator, ¢ Pinch, cf Bowden, 1b Rivers, 3b . .

Some strike outs, Verigan 13 and Goss 11, Pinch got a home run in the sixth on an infield hit. The big League Scouts ought to look this man over Four hits out of flve times up. Well, if Tampa don’t want to play any more than a month in the Flor- ida League, why not let the Elks take the vacancy?
