Messrs. ]. J. Gerig of Ocala and
Harry Hutchinson of Gainesville UNI
pired the game,
The gate receipts were $273.40,
and we are afraid not few took adj
vantage of the gaps in the fence.
Manager Hunter has the ball park in
excellent shape, and we hope that in
the interest of the team he will soon
| be able to put good fence around it.
If We had lost, we wouldn't have
said a word, but since we won, we
can't help asking Gainesville what
real satisfaction it would have been
to her if her team had won the
Fourth of July game.
The pitcher, White, was a pitcher
| from a Jacksonville team, the first
baseman, the short stop and third
baseman were from the Riverside
team, which is the only one that has
defeated Ocala this season; one man
was from Lawtey, we are informed
that another was from Fernandina
and so far as we can discover, only
three members of the visitors team
