HILDEBRAND a STAR
Made Most Sensational Catch Ever
Pulled of in Jacksonville
Thompson Shows I'M
proved Form.

yesterdays game, including the i'm
proved work of Umpire Billy Thomp-
son and the sensational catch by Hill
aeDrand the Journal Of today says.
we Jumped into the Bramble bush
Yesterday and scratched out bota his
eyes in the nth inning, which being
interpreted to the uninitiated means
that Jacksonville made two runs OF
heokuk in the fifth inning yesterday
and thereby sewed up the third game
of the series. One more run came
across in the eighth when Bramble
/ got generous and threw the bail
away trying to catch Berte mapping
and the local manager circled the
bases while Miller was finding the
ball out among the vehicles. And
how do you think all this happened?
One, Mr.. Jerry Akers, was back in
the game after an absence of about
three weeks. He was in perfect
4 form and he had control, speed and
benders of infinite variety He so
mixed up his service that tae visitors
4 landed safely but twice and they
never had him in hole. Jerry was
the candy kid yesterday and his SUI
perb pitching coupled with hit by
Jasper, three Dagger by Blausser
and another ait by Fisher gave us
two runs and the game in the fifth
j inning. Blaussers drive was fierce
! clout in the direction of right center
which went to the fence. Jasper hit
safely and Littleiohn sacrificed him
to second Blausser's drive sent him
home and when Fisher laid one down
i between third and short Blausser
Il raced home and Fisher beat the ball
i to first, although it was perfectly
handled from a fielding point. Fisher
4 is some runner and goes down to the
initial sack like a deer.
In the eighth inning Berte reached
! first on clean single after two men
we're out He kept teasing Bramble
4 in his efforts to get away from the
bag and finally the pitcher let drive
toward Miller. The ball went wide
4 and through the fence among the We
4 hicles. Waen it was returned Berte
1 had made his pan print and Jack
sonville had three runs.
Hildebrand made what is probably
the most sensational catch of foul
ball ever made on the local diamond
He made great run from right field
after sky scraper by Morris
caught the ball just in front of the
wire fence that runs from the club
house to the bleachers and then had
presence of mind enough to duck and
slide under the bottom wire. The
momentum carried him under the
fence quite little distance and he
landed among the vehicles. 1t was a
great grab and the fans applauded
freely. Jasper and Norris also made
good running catches of difficult balls
and Morris made pretty throw to
first after catch off Hildebrand in
an attempt to catch Landry who was
on the bag and who strolled toward
second expecting Foxy to miss the
fly
Bramble worked out of a great
hole in the seventh. Hughes hit
safely and Jasper walked. Littlejohn
in attempting to bunt went out on a
foul to Belt Blausser was nit by a
pitched ball and the bases were filled
Morgantholer landed at first on a
fielder's choice which retired Jasper
at the plate, and Fisher sent fly out
to Reichle.
Umpire Thompson showed great
I Improvement in his work today. His
Judgment on balls and strikes was
far different than wat it has been in
previous games and his decisions on
the bases were all good. He lad
several close plays to pass upon, but
he was there with the goods each
time. The crowd kept up their kid
ding and no matter what he called
there was a hawl out from some en-
thusiastic fan. This is part of the
game, however, and if Thompson
does as we'll today as he did yester
day he may find some champions II
this part of the woods yet.
