THE «.“NING TELEGRAM LAKELAND, FLA,, SEPT. 19, 1914, Two Drown In Phosphate Pool At Christina SON; ’ News reached the city this morn- ing of the drowning of J. B. Har- rell and Mr. Goodnight at Chris- tina Tuesday night, the body of the latter being recoverkd Wednesday morning and Harrell's body yester- day morning. In Case of Fire Phone 5,000 LA g s S LTS Miss Merne Davis, who has heen the charming guest of Miss Ruth Ley for the past two weeks, has re- turned to her home at Oczla. R ——— Miss Esther Ley left this morn- ing for Mulberry, where on Mon- day she begins her work as a teach- er in the schools of that city. S There are various rumors abroad as to the manner of the men's death, but in communication with the power plant at Christina over the phone this morning a Telegram rep- resentative was informed that the tWo men went out in a saii boat on a ferty-acre phosphate pool, and never returned. The next morning the sail boat was found overturned with Goodnight's body tangled up in the rigeing. It was stated at Christina that a stiff wind was blowing which probably overturned the boat. Mr. Goodnight was known here, having played right field the first of the season with the Lakeland base- bal]l club. His body was snipped tu his old home in North Carolina while that of Harrell was sent to Bowling Green for interment. The many friends of Rev. J. B. Ley are delighted to see inat he is able to be out again after being confined to his home for several days with an attack of fever. Mr. Jack Melvin died near Car- ters last night. The funeral took place from his late residence this afternoon, the funeral arrangements being in charge of Kimbrough Sup- ply Co. Ordinance Granting Gas Franchise Published Today The ordinance granting the fran- chise for a gas plant, to Rosco Net- tles and his associates, appears in today’s issue of the Telezram, and will be found on page 8. It makes interesting reading, as it contains the various stipulations in consider- ation of which the franchise was granted; also, the rates at which gas is to be furnished to consumers. So far as the Telegram is able to judge from a superficial reading of the ordinance, the interests of the people seem to have been carefully looked after. A committee has been appointed at Lakeland to raise funds to in- duce a league ball team to spend the winter there. The Louisville Colonels look upon Lakeland with favor and propose to make that city Reports from the bedside of Mr. Cathcart, who wasg.quite low yester- day, are to the effect that he is im- proved today, and his friends earn- estly hope that he will scon be on the road to recovery. Mr. and Mrs. Paul O'Doniel, who have been spending the pest month in Waynesville, N. C., are expect- ed to reach home this afternocn. They have had a most pleasant trip and have greatly enjoyed the fine mountain air and scenery. United tSates Marshal J. C. Brown leaves Sunday night for San Francisco, where he goes to escort J. G. Wilson, who was, sn Thurs- day, remanded to jail in default of $500 bond to await the action of the federal grand jury in California on a charge of enticing a female to accompany him from Sacramento to Jacksonville. Deputy Marshal Os- teen will accompany Mr. Frown. —Jacksonville Metropolis. Mr. John Dyler, of Fort Myers, headquarters if they will pay rail- writes the Telegram as follows: “I road fare and hotels bills while they take a Florida vacation. The see by the papers that the Louis- ville Baseball club will train at Lakeland the coming spring, and that you also are having success in raising the money. I want to say hat you will have with you a high- class lot of gentlemen and Lakeland vill get publicity such as she could mot buy.” The Louisville Colonels rained at Fort Myers last season and Mr. Dyler therefore knows per- committee is raising $2,700 to cov- er this expense and the city is to get the gate receipts of the games. With the Chicago Cubs at Tampa and the St. Louis Browns at St. Petersburg, it will make a trio of teams that will stir up South Flor- ida baseball enthusiasm.-—Braden- town Journal, Little Paul Lamar Browning is onally each mb f . 5 H member of the club. | iically il at the home of his Rev.

The Tampa Tribune states this morning that the rain prevented the May be so, but we don’t think there is anybody in Lakeland crazy enough to think the same way. The trouble is that they have never seen any of Lakeland)s seventh inning finishes and they don't know that it takes the CHAMPS about six in- nings to get a going good. Maybe they will find out before the series is over. Yesterday's contest looked good from the start and neither side got any earned runs. Lakeland's lone tally was procured in the sec- ond when Brazier opened with a double, Eubanks sacrificed, Cham- bers fanned, Sawyer hit to third, who threw to first and the first base- man dropped the ball, allowing Bat- ting Bill to score. Sawyer's drop- ping long high fly in the second was the cause of Tampa's score in the second, and Cabrera’s wild peg to first in the third was the direct result of the score in tne third. Erie was the fielding star of the game, his running catch i the first being of sensational order. The score by innings: Lakeland 01 0 0—11 Tampa 0 1 1 0—2382 Batteries—For Lakeland, Alvarez and Eubanks; for Tampa, Corcho and Ferrer.

Wonder how it would have ended? How those Tampans did cry to get in one more half an inning. They knew it was going to rain all the afternoon. Mauy cries of YELLOW STREAK were heard in the grandstand. Sor- y those big city folks think there is any yellow streak in the Lake- landers. Tain't yellow; it's just good, common sense.
