While Winter Haven was taking
the wind out of Bartow's sails to the
tune of six to one, the locals were
having a farce comedy with the
Nichols part of the Tiger-Niehols
combine and when the curtain went
down the locals had scored fifteen
laughs to the visitors two
The closing of the show was very
amusing and staged to perfection. All
the Lakeland players gathered with
in the diamond while the final inn
ing of the visitors was being played
not man occupying field position,
and even then a score could not be
made. Brown pitched a good game
and was never in danger. Fuller was
numerically pounded and walked
five men besides. Eight errors made
by the Phosphaters also helped the
run-getting along. There were no
special features. Lakeland now holds
the stellar place in the Orange Belt,
one game ahead of Barlow.
