The Ocala evening star., 1915-07-06

TWO FINE TEAMS
OCALA AND CLEARWATER, AFTER CLOSE GAMES,
HAD TO QUIT EVEN

From a baseball standpoint, Ocala's
1915 fourth was the most successful
in its history.
The seven-inning game in the morn
ing between Ocala and Clearwater re-
suited in a tie 'of 0 to o. The after
noon game was longer and even more
stubbornly contested, and when it
ended in the twilight, the score stood
two to two.
There was very good attendance
at the afternoon game. The line of
autoes, each machine filled to its ca
pacity, reached halfway around the
field, the grandstand was over half
full, the bleachers were crowded, and
there were a couple of hundred other
fans sitting or standing around loose.
The band was out in force, occupy
ing a place in the front of the grand
stand and heartening the players as
we'll as delighting the spectators with
an average of one tune every inning.
1t having been noticed that the band
played during the first few innings
when Ocala went to bat, some one
called attention to it, whereBpon when
the visitors took up the sticks in the
fifth they were greeted with lively
tune
