OCALA LOST AGAIN
BRICK CITY TEAM BEATEN
TWICE YESTERDAY By THE
CLEARWATER BOYS
(AssOciated Press)

Ocala's fond hopes of victory were
blighted again yesterday, Clearwater
beating the home team twice in sue
cession.
The only explanation is that Clear
water played the best ball. Ocala, how
ever, has no reason to be ashamed, for
the boys did very we'll. In the first
game, which was Of seven innings, the
home team pulled off its rather too
frequent stunt of not starting out
well, and getting so far behind that it
couldn't recover lost ground. The
score in this game was four to two,
Clearwater making all four runs in
the first inning. Perhaps if it had
been nine-inning game, the locals
would have won, or at least tied the
score. Anderson pitched and Bullock
caught for Ocala in this game, and
both did well enough to get away with
the average visiting team. There is
no doubt that the Clearwater team is
above the average.
In the second game, Galloway pitch
ed and Dinkins caught for Ocala.
Ocala with considerable reason con-
siders this her heavy battery. Nc
Mullen pitched and Thomas caught
for Clearwater. McMullen is an ex-
traordinary good pitcher, and it
speaks well for the Ocala boys that
they are getting on to his curves.
They landed on him five times, and if
he would stay here long enough they
would know just where to find him
every time.
The second game went the way of
the first one. Both teams played well,
and it is noticeable that Clearwater
again won its victory in one inning,
making three runs in the eighth,
which with one in the fourth gave
them four to the locals two
