The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1913-07-05

forced the lighting with a pluck and
enthusiasm that was fine TO see. The
visiting pitcher had a peculiar twist
O. his own, but he is not as good as
Galloway in all days work Brown
and Davis as catchers, are undoubt-
eddy superior TO their opponents be-
hind the bat. Flick" displayed all
his live-wire energy and bulldog grit.
Sturdy Ray Bullock showed he could
almost outmoye an express train
sometimes and the way he went up in
the air after a high ball was good TO
see. Julius Brown, with his three
|crippled fingers. and Frank Harris,
going back on the field when his lips
were white with pain from his twist
ed ankle, showed real heroism. The
manager and all the team say they
could not have won without Carlisle
Izlar. who showed that the quiet days
OF Office work had detracted mighty
little from the skill that has in other
seasons made him one Of Ocala's best
players. The home team has a heavy
reinforcement in Chazal, who is good
anywhere he is put. Dewey and
Bats worked hard and faithfully on
! their bases; on one occasion, Dewey
made an error and retrieved it quick
er than some could have made the
! correct play.
| 1t was only at the earnest solicita-
ton of Manager Hunter that DR..
4Carlisle Izlar took part in the game.
This young dentist, whose time is
more than occupied with his profess
sionaI work, had about concluded
that only as a spectator would he
again visit the baseball field, but the
need of his home team, threatened by
la semi-professional combination, ap-
pealed too strongly to his patriotism
for him to keep out of the game. He
put three men over by his batting,
and had he not played the result
might have been very different.
Interest taken in the game was
great. There must have been 1900
lpeople on the grounds; grandstand
and bleachers were packed; hun
dred autos and half as many car
riages, all with their seats filled, cir
cled the field, while hundreds stood
up.
1t had been the intention of man
ager and members of the team to
have a banquet at the Harrington
this evening, but as several of the
boys will have to be out of town to-
night, the supper has been postponed
till all can be present.
/ Manager Hunter hopes TO have a
game with Palatka next Thursday,
and as the team of that city is train
ing under professional instruction,
+ the contest is sure to be most inter
esting.
i Thursday and Friday, as we'll as
! Thursday of the week before, proved
that good ball team is a paying
property for a town. Hundreds of
people came to see the games, and all
spent money.
/ The balloon ascension took place
during the game, but it is likely that
i if the umpires hadn't called a halt
while the bag was going up and the
aeronaut was doing his double-para-
chute drop, that no one inside the
ball park would have noticed it.
The Visiting Team
Ma matter where they came from,
the visitors are all good players and
Ocala had hard work to defeat them.
They are a fine-looking set of young
men, were all on their good behavior,
and Ocala will always be glad to see
them no matter what flag they come
under, or if they come as individuals.
1t was an honor to beat them, and we
would not have been disgraced if
they had won.
