LAKELAND WINS AGAIN
TIE South Florida Team Scores Sec
ond Shut-Cut Against the Locals

From Wednesday 5 Daily:
The OcaIa baseball club has been
Up against the real. thing for he past
,wo days. Lake]and's management
has collected the strongest team
which has visited the local grounds
this year. This club is not only COM
posed Of ball players. but of young
men OF splendid appearance. who
conduct themselves with dignity and
decoYum.
In the pitchers who worked here.
Roquemore and FerreH this team has
TWO stars Both have speed and con-
Tol. Yesterday. the locals got only
one hit off Terrell. and that was of a
doubtful kind The fielder made a
hard run for the ball, but fell as he
was in the act of catching il. In Had
ley, they have a catcher who is safe
and reliable, and hard to beat Tay-
Tor at short stop and Donaldson in
center field played big league ball on
Monday and Tuesday. In fact, the
club as a whole is the best seen at
the Ninth street park this season.
Witherspoon Dodge Officiated on
the mound for the locals, and was
steady in the pinches. He had three
men on bases in the first and ninth
innings, and retired his opponents
without a run. With a little more ex-
.perience in the box he will be hard
to excel Yesterdays game was only
his third opportunity, and he has GER
.tainly made good
In the first inning, with Lakeland
lat the bat, White hit a long foul to
Harris. who took it in. Donaldson
was out, VOgt TO BlalOck Bower hit
for a single past first base. Alder
man singled to right field. Hadley
was passed to first on four wide ones.
Riggen hit to Hutchings, who threw
him out at first.
Terrell allowed only six of the To-
Gals to get on base, one on a doubtful
hit by Bullock, three by bases on balls
and two others when runners in front
of them were retired. He had the
best control and greatest sped of any
pitcher the locals have batted
against.
In the third inning, Bullock was
first at bat. He hit to left field and
Alderman madesa hard run for the
ball, which he failed to get, taking
several tumbles in the attempt. Bull
lock continued his run to third base.
After BlalOck was retired, Ford hit
to White and Bullock was out at the
plate Ford stole second, but was
caught off the bag shortly after when
Bower returned the ball to Terrell,
who played it quickly to Riggin at
second base. That was pretty work,
and the locals should take notice
Lakeland's runs came in the sew
enth inning. which is superstitiousIy
considered to be the lucky inning by
great number of teams. And this
may be true, as many games have
been won on the home grounds in the
seventh inning. Riggin was struck
out. but the ball got away from Bull.
lock. Taylor was out for bunting the
third strike foul. Terrell hit safely to
right field, Riggin going to third. Col
Inns then drove a hard one to short
which took a bad bound over Hutch
iings' head, and Riggen and Terrell
crossed the plate. He was advanced
to third by ponaldson's hit to left
and crossed the rubber with the third
run when a pitched ball hit BullOck's
mask.
The locals very much regret LOSING
the game, but there is consolation II
the fact that it took a mighty good
team to win from them The boy
are playing better bali every day, bu
lin order to excel in the national gam
a team must nave very little else t
do bat play the game. Most of tn
locals are busy men, SO cannot devot
Their entire attention to ball playing
