Williams or Geary, 2.

Williams or Geary p.
Two good workouts on yesterday
helped the locals notch nearer mid
season form. The morning session
was devoted to pepper" games, warm
ing up and other stunts down in the
baseball category. At the afternoon
session Ellis organized Yanigan
crew and challenged the manager to
a game. CASTOR accepted the challenge
and the two teams went at it.
The score at the end of the seventh
when Umpire Dick Utter called the
game was s to 8, in favor of the Regu-
lars. The feature of the game aside
from the good work of the pitchers
came in the seventh when Ellis stole
second and third one after the other.
Four pitchers worked for the two
teams. Bowden started out for the
Yanigans and showed class, The scores
made off his delivery came as the res
suit of G1ors made by pitchers who
were essaying to play the infield and
newspaper men who were helping out.
Geary started for Gastons team and
convinced the fans that he has enough
stuff to stick with the team. The Gin
c:nnati boy did not cut loose at any
time, as his arm was not yet ready. Jim
Werner, the elongated Gainesville lad,
flushed for the regulars and had
things easy. In addition to pitching a
good game, jim, with the aid of sew
eral errors, made a home run.
Angus Williams, the Florida boy
tipped off to Americas by Doc Ford
probably showed more class in the
box than any of the other pitchers.
Williams conducts himself like a wise
old head and fields his position nicely,
He looks like a fixture on the staff,
provides he develops as much during
the next three weeks as he has for the
PAST two
Ellis, Erb and Pete McLain found
the right field fence for two-baggers in
the game Ellis kissed several that
went for hits. The big boy is gaining
speed every day and losing weight and
by the time the season opens some
pitchers are going to be walking him
to keep him from numbering the pill,
Gordon We'll, the Cincinnati speed
merchant who has been sick, was in
the grandstand watching the game yes
terday. The youngster will jump back

Use Regulars Against IhUm We'll is Up After
Short Sickness Regulars Win Practice Game
From Ellis WhdDg DOOdIGS

Monday afternoon the Muckalees
will pry the lid off their exhibition
season and will go after the Cleveland
Scouts in a regular nine inning game.
1t is going to be a big event for
Americas and her team and Manager
Davie and the fans will have a swell
chance to see the local boys under
fire. The game was postponed from
yesterday afternoon because Castor
was not willing to send his pitchers in
against the Scouts with their arms in
the shape they were. The boys have
not yet had time to get limbered, but
by Monday afternoon they will be all
fit and ready for the game.
The fans are expected to turn out
in goodly numbers to see the home
boys play the big leaguers. Baseball
has the center of the stage in Ameri-
Gus and the fans are anxious to get a
line on the boys who will wear Muck
alec uniforms this season.
Manager Sheckard is going to send
his regular team in against the Amerj-
Gus bunch, He is going to put up as
stiff a fight for the game as he did
against the Boston Braves. Dave and
his crew are going to have to travel
some to play the same class of bal
that they do, but we have bunch that
the MuckaIees will surprise the fans.
The Cleveland team will have the
advantage of about two weeks training
rot to mention years and years of eX-
Terrence. But nevertheless, Dave is
gong to send the bunch into the game
with instructions to fight as hard fol
a victory as they will be expected to dc
during the regular playing season.
The game will be called at $3.50 and
movement has already been put or
foot to get the stores of the city tC
close up for the game, SO that their
clerks can get chance to see the
home boys play?
Castor is going to give his who's
Isruad a chance to show what they can
do against big leaguers. Every one Of
the men that is trying out will have d
show The fans will have chance C
fern an opinion of every one of them
PGaston will probably start the game
