E. No. 1291 gives its second an - nual minstrel performance at the Lakeland Auditorium the evening of April 9. Although accustomed to public yappearance through his long service ‘for the municipality of Lakeland, and, although properly famed as a public speaker throughout the length and breadth of South Florida Baron Eaton suffered severely from a shaking of the hind legs when the curtain rose on last year's minstrel show. For it was the Baron's first appearance as a minstre] show in terlocutor. The baron could run a passenger train with the nonchal ance of a veteran, but he had never run a minstrel show first part be. fore and he was in about the sameé state of mind as if he was running wild without orders on a dark and stormy night with the track pretty well messed with extras, and no wires working. As the records so well show, Ba ron Eaton came out of the ordeal with flying colors and with a new luster to his laurel wreath. His extreme dignity of bearing, the clear clarion tones of his matchless voice, which carried to the uttermost cor ners of the vast and crowded Audi- torium, added class to the brilliant performance and stamped him as an interlocutor of the first order. There is a common impression, usually founded on fact, that the jokes and merry wheezes character - istic of the orthodox minstrel first part are carefully rehearsed and that the end men and the interlo. cutor are letter perfect before the curtain rises. This was the opinion held by Baron Eaton before last season’s show began, but it hadn’t been going fifteen minutes before the boys on the ends began to hand the baron some new ones. i The best part of the show to the fellows on the stage was the manner in which the baron juggled the, balls that were thrown to him. The first one that was pitched without signals caught him amidships and doubled him up and almost took his | breath away. He fumbled badly, | caught it in mid-air—and after that threw away his score card and took them as they came. It is not generally known that minstrel managers, like baseball | managers, keep scouts on the road looking for promising new material, but there were several minstrel scouts in the Auditorium when the | Lakeland Elks made their first min ism-el appearance and the manner in .which Baron Ozias Moriarty Eaton {“carried” the first part brought him several dazzling offers. Such minstre] magnates as Co burn, Dockstader, Primrose and | Flelds submitted some flattering of !fers and Baron Eaton admits that if | his resignation as mayor had been accepted and he had been able to | peddle his palatial Cadilac that he might have been ‘‘on the road” long ago. | Just one other thing kept him |from donning the war paint, feath.

This is not advanced as an argument against the validity of the victory of the Athletics, but in jus- tice to the Louisville club. - 0 o For instance, ' Catcher Crossin threw to second base on an attempt ed double steal, with two men out, and score tied, in the eighth. He should have held the ball, as the batsman at the time was “in the hole,” and the chances of retiring the side without further scoring would have been much greater by playing for the batter. Also, in the last half of the eighth inning, Osborn was at bat with a runner on third and another on the first base. There was one out, and it required two runs for Louisville to tie the score. With the count three balls and one strike, Osborn went after a pitch that was a trifle low and inside for a left handed batter. While it might have been called a strike, Osborn should have waited the string out, and tried to get a base on balls, thus placing himself on the bases, automatically advancing Daniels to second, so that the latter could score the tying run on & single, and that Osborn could score the winning run on a long double or two singles. Going after this pitch, Osborn did score one run, as he sent a high fly to Murphy on which Miller got home. J]oecowomoormrme Totals Colonels Platte, 1f Callahan, If ... Miller, 2b .... Daniels, rf ..

Stansbury, who was playing third base in place of Midkiff, out of the line up with a lJame arm, after mak ing a remarkable stop of a warm drive ‘from Walsh's bat in the eighth, cut loose a two base wild throw.
