To Winter Haven

Kissimmee ..... 800
Winter Haven ... , 0 ? 900 !
(By c. reen.)
Confident of victory, the baseball /
warriors from Winter Haven arrived I
in town yesterday afternoon, ready
to take the home team down notch /
| in the Orange Belt race. Heavy |
clouds hung in the skies as playing |
time arrived, but good sized |
crowd was on hand to see the game |
if it was to be played. Fortune |
smiled on the fans and the entire |
game was played without a sign of
rain. The Moose band made the
heavy atmosphere lighter with some
excellent strains and the delay which
was caused by some of the local
players being detained was hardly
noticeable At exactly 1925 the cur
tain was rung up and the play be-
gan. While it was not nearly as ex-
citing as the game in Kissimmee,
nevertheless a few thrills were dis
pensed here and there and the field
work of big MehaEg, and Garletts
was good to look upon. Both of
these players were also endowed
with their batting eyes yesterday
and had them both wide open. They
being responsible for the two scores
made by the home team Fuller
Ipitched jam up game, and Winter
Haven never eased a hit over until
the eighth Smell, who started in the
box for Winter Haven, was tapped
plentifully, Haynes taking his place
in the middle of the third. The To-
Gals tailed in the first and third in
nings, Big Meharg, Garletts and
Long Smith being the guilty parties.
Many cars were noticed in the field
from Winter Haven and it is a pleas
ure to see town support its ball
team in this manner
