LIPTON TAKES RED CROSS FORCES TO SERVIA »ir Thomas Lipton with the British Red Cross and St. John’s society members whom he took to Servia on board his yacht Erin. AAAAAAAAA A~ INTERESTING STORY ABOUT LAKELAN APPEARING IN iGeorge Biggers, sporting editor of the Louisville Herald, sends the fol . lowing story to his paper, which is one of a large number, which the scribes are sending back daily: Owing to the fact that there are only nine lakes touching the city limits of this fair city, the Colonels are planning fishing trips for dlys' ahead. Lakes are every place. The Tre- mont hotel which houses. the Col onels is within a stone's throw of two lakes. The hotel is on a cor ner, facing the north. Just east of the hotel, right across the street, in fact, is a lake, while just two blocks south of the hotel is another lake. Two blocks from the ball park is the largest lake of them all. This is known as Parker Lake and is 7 miles long. One lake, immediately behind the high school building, is passed on the way to the ball-park. The ball park {8 about twelve squares from the center of the city and the distance is covered by foot twice each way dally. It seems that the scribes are going to get In shape, too. This town is a terminal or a junc tion, rather, for the Atlantic Coast Lines and already the players have found that watching the trains come in and 2o out is a pleasant diversion. Frank Crossin and Eddie Miller were down at the station last night and had a hilarious time. They stuck untfl the 10:25 left for the north and then they hiked back to the hotel . Eddie Miller, Frank Crossin and Wiley Taylor, all with the Browns last year, are great friends and are together a great deal. It is the same way with Daniels, Derrick, Midkiff and Platte. The first three played together on the Baltimore club last season while the fourth was in the International League and that is a tie that binds. They are all together at the table when meal time rolls around. There are two contests for auto. mobiles going on here in Lakeland. The most popular woman is the one to draw down the hig car while there will be lots of other prizes. It is worked in this way: When you go into a drug store and buy a cigar you get 100 votes. Lots of votes have been collected and now that the players have them they don’t know what to do with them. The Colonels are trying to find someone in this town who can talk Spanish. Two Cuban teams are down for games with the Colonels. These clubs do not use signals like the Americans. When they get ready to pull the “hit and run” they just say so, but they do it in Span ish, which lets the Colonels out. “Doc’’ Seanlon has been elling the Colonels about how they blocked the Cubang at Notre Dame one season. Yep, “Doc” went to Notre Dame He claims that there were several Spaniards in school at the time and they were on the Notre Dame bench on the day the Cubans were played. They' acted as interpreters and put the college players next to every. thing that was going on. Hence, if 'we can find a gent who can talk the Spanish stuff and get in good with him, the Colonels will be all right. In & Tempa morning paper the day after the Colonels arrived here a2 headline stated that: “Ivory The photograph was taken on board the yacht after it had left Marseilles.
