Meharg relieved the Cuban in the ninth and ‘blanked the St. Petersburg outfit.

COMMENTS ON THE GAME Hard luck to lose that game when Tampa was trimmed so nicely by Fort Meade. Manager Leon made quite a huge mistake in taking on the LONG BRANCH team before the regular game. Wonder what was the matter with the boys in ST. PETE? We have got to win every game to get the pennant. Can we do it? Tampa will be here tomorrow, and then we go to Tampa Saturday, probably for a double header. The writer was unexpectedly called to Tampa yesterday morning and did not get back in time to get the dope up by innings of Monday's game in Tampa. It was some game, though, fans, and you could hear all over the grandstand: ‘“This is the first real baseball game we have had here this year.” Lewis gave about as medlocre an exhibition of umpiring in that game that has ever been seen on a base- ball diamond, espccially in the tenth when with two on base for the Champs Erie hit a fast one towards first, Rodriguez reached out beyond the bag and caught it on the bounce. Lewig called it a fair ball and the batter out. Preparations are being completed far hnldine the rennian of the Flor- ida Division United Confederate Vet- erans in Lakeland, Oct. 28-29-30.

THE WAR REGENERATES OLD ENGLAND London, Sept. 30.—National re- generation is typified today in Eng- land. Until a couple months ago she seemed torpid, a condition from which nothing seemed able to rouse her. The wars in the Sudan and South Africa, the threatening armed rebellion in Ireland and the out- rages of the militant suffragettes did not awake her. But since the opening of the war Englishmen have shown that all talk of deteri- oration, both moral and physical, is without foundation, and their race remains true to original stock. The call to arms worked a miracle, ana peer and commoner, capitalist and laborer, squire and peasant ' have rallied to the colors. They took their place in the ranks, regardless of birth, breeding, position or pri- vate interests and have done it with an eagerness which has proven a revelation to the Germans. They, with their monstrous standing army, had scoffed at the idea of se- rious military resistance from Great Britain’s sons. From north, south, east and west her thousands have hurried and are hurrying toward France to help deliver the nations from the crushing militarism and terrorism of a despotic ruler. GIVING CHARITY CIRCUS Rochester, Oct. 1.—A charity circus will be given here today at Exposition park for the bcnefit of the children’s free dispensary. A ‘masquerade ball in which lions, camels and bear-cats from the tall timbers will appear is one of the fea- tures, and a burlesque artillery drill employing an aeroplane wi'l be pre- gsented. The idea has been well pre- sented to the people and children of the city through the use of adver- tising matter in the papers and by running scenes in the moving pic- ture theaters. The proposition has every promise of being a great suc- cess, and it is expected that all three days will bring big crowds to thig circus. MISS BREVARD WILL BE CANDIDATE FOR STATE PRESIDENT U. D. C.

Brevard of Tal- lahassee, prominent alike in club and social circles, and with an en- viable place in the literary world, ‘has many friends throughout the State who will be interested to learn that she will be a candidate for the officc of president of Florida di- vision, United Daughters of the Confederacy, and many chapters are rallying to her support, the three chapters of this ecity, which are among the most influential of the State, having endorsed her can- didacy . This gifted daughter of our State is the author of a school history of (Florida, and the Florida Supplement for Frye's Higher Geography, of Literature of the South. A collee- tion of legends of the Southern In- dians is now in process of publica- tion, she has contributed to South-- ern Literature (edited by Alder- man & Kent) and has made occa- sional contributions to papers and magazines.

Galloway, Father of Strawberry Industry, Dead Friends in this eity and vicinity of Mr. H. S. Galloway—and they are many—were much grieved to learn of his death, which occurred at Clearwater yesterday. The body will freach his former home at Galloway [some three miles north of here, at 10:45 tomorrqw (Friday) and inter- ment will take place at the ceme- ‘tery ot that place about novon. A number of his former friends anu acquaintances are arranging to go up and pay their last respects to this good man and splendid citizen who lived here for a number of years, and who was held in the highest esteem by all who knew him. As one gen- 'tlemen remarked today “If all men were like H. S. Galloway, there would be no necessity for court houses or jails.” Mr. Galloway has often been re- ferred to as “father of the straw- berry industry,” owing to the fact that it was he first discovered the remarkable adaptability of the soll of this section to strawberry culture, and demonstrated the possibilities of ‘growing and shipping winter straw- berries at this point. He made a com. fortable sum of money in this pur- suit, and his sons, who still live in the same neighborhood, have been noted as among the most successful berry growers in the State. After the berry business became too strenuous for his years and fall- ing health he came to Lakeland, and for some time was engaged in the mercantile business. Some six years ago he disposed of his business and went to Clearwater, the air of the coast being thought to be beneficlal to his health. He was in business in Clearwater until adout a year ago, when he was compelled to give up active pursuits, and has been fall- ing gradually since then until the end came peacefully yesterday.

Sharp of Ohio, the newly appointed ambas- sador. Mr. Sharp has been in France since August, but was un- willing to assume the duties My.

Mr. Her- rick hag been highly praised by all for the work he has done during At his suggestion, Mr. Sharp enters upon its active duties today. this erisis.
