LAKELAND TOOK FAST
GAME FROM YB0R

BEST in more ways than one, the
Lakeland team shut out the fast
Ybor city team i'll a grand ten inning
battle, on the home grounds yester-
day afternoon. 1t was the kind of
a day made for ball games, no signs
of rain, a cool breeze blowing and
seven hundred fans anXiously await
ing the play ball /" AS usual the
RED BIRDS came prepared to win,
and on the other hand the local boys
were just sure they were going to
walk away with the second game of
the series. They had only tasted
defeat once out of seventeen games
and these same RED BIRDS had
been their conQuerors. Alvarez, the
fast West Tampa pitcher, was picked
to do the hurling for Ybor. For
the benefit of those who do not re-
member, this same gentleman was
in the box against us when we
played Dade City in that town. Gill
lespie, the old reliable, was given
the honor of serving up the dinner
to the Ybor aggregation and he had
'em "eating out of his hands. 1T
was a pitchers battle all the way,
both hurlers using a grand article
of ball. Alvarez had little the
best of the strike out proposition,
tanning eleven to Gillespie's nine,
but he walked three men while Gill
lespie walked none. The big feature
of the game was the cut in the er-
ror column, only one mishap being
made and that by Ginter. whose
heavy hitting made up for dozen
errors. The Ybor boys wanted to
stay over and play today, but 1t
could not be arranged.
