We are wiser today than we were vesterday, for we know that Red ‘auscy is a better runner than a pitcher. Nobody saw him VADEN for the umpire to catch up with him. 1t a shame that a good ball game has to be broken up in such a manner. Differcnt stories make it hard to find out who is really to blame, but a man should learn to control his temper in the presence of ladies, no matter how hard it is. Such occurences ruin .the national pastime. is Wonder if the score had been five to three in favor of Fort Meade, if the Tigers would have quit. Doubt S Well, the bizg doings come and tomorrow. Here's hoping we can beat Tampa two games, — Next week will be a big one. Tampa here Wednesday and Thurs- day, St. Petersburg here Friday Iand Saturday. { AUDITORIUM THEATRE Auditorium Daffydils: If the Florida lLeague umpire should go to Fort Meade, would Red Causey be VADEN for him at the depot?
