A PITCHERS BATTLE
From Tuesdays Daily:
The Game Yesterday Won by Orlando
by the Smallest Possible Margin


From Tuesdays Daily:
The score was one to nothing, and
in Orlandos favor, but the baseball
game of Monday afternoon between
the home boys and Orlando was the
prettiest contest that has been seen
in Ocala for many a day This game
was featured by a sensational catch
by Pounds of Johnsons line drive in
the sixth inning, which cut Ocala out
of a sure run, and the all-round good
work of the pitchers.
From start to finish the game was
a battle between Spottswood and jim
my Windham. Spottswood gave up
only two hits, both of which came in
the sixth inning, but did not result in
a score. Windham allowed three hits
and walked one man, but was more
fortunate, as his team scored run,
which won the game.
In the sixth inning Harris reached
first on an error and took second on
the same play. Johnson then hit a
hard line drive several feet over the
head of Pounds, and the hit was label
ed not less than two bases, possibly
three. Pounds went up into the air
after it, and made beautiful stab for
a one-hand catch. He completed a
double play, as Harris had already
rounded third base and was well
down the line towards home plate be-
fore he knew that the drive had been
caught Pounds was hurt in a coils
ion at first base in the fifth inning,
and retired from the game after the
sixth. Many persons who saw the
game wish he had retired before the
sixth inning, as his good work for his
team in that inning robbed the locals
of run, which for a moment seemed
certain.
Orlando's run, which won the game,
came in the eighth inning. Beardall
hit to Johnson, who threw high to
Drayton, and the runner continued to
second on the overthrow. He was
advanced to third on Smiths sacrifice.
Pike then hit a bounder to Jewett,
who threw little high to Price, who
dropped the throw, and Beardall was
safe with the only run of the game.

tight hole in the sixth inning. Smith,
the first man up, famed. Pike hit to
right field. Harris recovered the ball
and attempted to throw the runner
out at first, but the throw was wild,
