| Better Ball, and Won, 5 TO o

GCIbGT 6dttg anu wSOttp , ~
On account of the delay incident to
the transfer of passengers, mail and
baggage at the wreck a few miles
north of Ocala, the local baseball
team arranged to convey the Gaines
vile baseball boys from the scene OF
the disaster to Ocala in automobiles.
A number of cars were in waiting at
the wreck when the train arrived, and
quickly conveyed the visiting athletes
to the Ninth street park.
The crowd at the grounds Tues
day afternoon has been estimated at
thousand to twelve hundred persons.
Gainesville had more than four hun
dred rooters in the crowd, and it was
mostly Gainesville's noise that was
heard. Decorated carriages and auto
mobiles, some of the latter from
Gainesville, nearly encircled the lot,
and the right and left field foul lines
were occupied by spectators all the
way to the fence.
1t was Gainesville's game from the
start. The visitors hit the ball hard
er and more timely, ran bases with
more judgment, and their signal and
scientific work was par excellence.
They also failed to make any errors.
Manager Davis and Captain Graham
are to be congratulated on their Sc
lection of players and the general
work of their team.
Comparing the work of both teams,
the locals were clearly outclassed in
yesterdays game. With practically
the same teams contesting, the Ocala
team won from Gainesville on the lat
ter's diamond three weeks ago by the
score of seven to four. The locals
should study Gainesville's excellent
code of signals. The home boys were
caught off the bases several times
during yesterdays game. The glory
is not all Gainesville's though, for
Harry Bullock, an Ocala production,
contributed very full share of the
work that brought them the victory.
With Gainesville at the bat in the
first inning, Miller, Allen adm Graham
were retired on flies to Galloway, Har-
ris and Dodge, w. For Ocala Dick
Dodge was hit by pitcher, but was
caught trying to purloin second. Har-
ris out, short to first, and Donaldson
! famed.
In the second inning Bullock singled
to left, was advanced to third on Hen
bricks two-bagger to right field. Den
ton hunted to Brown, who threw home
to catch Bullock, but after the dust
cleared sufficiently it was seen that
Mccormick had dropped the ball, and
Bullock was safe Taylor hit safely
to right, and Hendricks scored. Den
ton also tried to score on the hit but
was out at the plate. Watson sacri-
feed Taylor to third and Hines fan
ned. Two runs. For Ocala, McCor-
mick singled to left and stole second,
DuI Wdo AAunSuAdISiy caught On IhS
base.
Gainesville tailed again in the
fourth inning. Bullock out, second to
first. Hendricks was safe at first on
an error, took the second station on
blocked ball, and third on Denton's
sacrifice, and scored on Taylor's long
double to center.
In the seventh Gainesville added
another. Denton singled to left field,
was sacrificed to second by Taylor,
and crossed the rubber on Watson's
two-base hit to deep left.
The ninth inning was productive of
still another tally for Gainesville.
Hendricks out, Brown to Gore Denton
reached first on another safety to
right. Taylor was safe at first on an
error. Watson hit to Dick Dodge, who
put Denton out at third. Hines landed
at first on an error by the third base
man, while Taylor crossed the plate
after which Watson was caught at
third
Ocala could do nothing in the ninth
During the game Mccormick and
Gore got as far as second, but not an
Ocala man passed second base.
