The fast Lakeland team went into
first place yesterday, defeating the
Tiger-NichoIs combination at Tiger
Bay by a score of three to two,
while Winter Haven was admins
tering three to nothing drubbing
on Barlow. Both games were played
in drizzling rain but the Barlow
Winter Haven contest had to be dis
continued in the sixth, while our
boys were able to go to the limit.
The Tiger-Nichols combination is
not to be sneezed at and ought to
prove a formidable opponent to the
other three teams in the Orange Belt
League. The game yesterday was
played on a wet diamond but was in
teresting after the opening inning
when O'Connor, who was catching
for Tiger Bay, practically gave the
game to Lakeland with his wild peg
ging. In this inning our boys tai
lied three times on two hits. two err
rors and two wild pegs. After that
not man was able to make the cir
cult, in fact, Schroeder was the only
man to get a safe hit in the remain
ing innings. Tiger Bay registered in
the fourth and fifth, one in each in
ming. Both Brown and schailI
pitched good ball considering the
dampness, Brown tanning seven men
to Schaill's six. There were no spe-
cial features.
Barlow will be here on the Fourth
and with Schroeder in the box we
ought to land another victory. There
is talk of having the Tiger-Nichols-
Winter Haven game played here al
so on the Fourth as the receipts of
both games are going to be pooled.
