The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1915-03-10
(By Robert e. Dundon.)


Lakeland has reason to be proud
of her home talent when it comes to
baseball. Our Florida Leaguers are
right there, both in batting and in
fielding, as was demonstrated when
the first practice game of the sea
son was won by the Colonies from
the CoIonelettes and Lakeland COM
bination by the score Of to 2.
The honor Of lacing out the first
home run of the season fell to Wamp
Watson, who was playing second
base for the losers. This local lad
has nice position at the plate, and
meets the ball clearly, not taking
too long swing. az is the case with
not only many semi pros. and anna :
teur performers, but quite few of
the leuguers as we'll. His blow was
a powerful wallop which went far
out to the left field Fence. scored on
none other than Jake Northrop,
Louisville's star finger Of 1914.
Wallace higgins is another clever
youngster who showed some fancy
PAGES in the practice combat. This
lad was at third base, and he
whipped the bali around the infield
with plenty Of pepper" while his
handling of Vern. Clemens throws
were as good as that Of any OF our
regular infielders.
Spivey, Sawyer and Meharg, the
other local boys who played, also
showed up we'll, considering their
lack of practice. For the Colonies
