ORLANDO TAKES
FIRST GAME OF
STATE SERIES
(Tampa Tribune.)

Orlando, Oct. 2.-In the opening
game Of the Florida State league post
season series here today the Caps
fought their way to victory over the
Celery Feds by the score Of 4 to 2.
1t was the hardest fought game with
out doubt, that has been played in
the league this season. Both teams
were out for blood with two pitchers,
HUMPHREYS and Watts fighting for the
honors in a real twirling battle.
Fast playing by both teams with
sensational fielding and pinch hitting
featured the game. The Caps took a
one-run lead in the second to hold
only for two innings but that old
fighting spirit of the Caps finally told
the tale.
In the first frame, Stewart singled
over short but after several attempts
by HUMPHREYS he was caught Off the
bag. Chapman then hit over second.
but was caught stealing second and
Johnson the third man then famed.
Orlando Draws First
In the second Blount flied out to
left. Quinn then hit over third and
scored on the double of Stephens to
deep center.
In the fourth Stewart led off with
another hit over the keystone, took
second when Chapman hunted safe
ly between Stephens and HUMPHREYS.
Each advanced base on Johnson's
perfect sacrifice. Then the squeeze"
play worked when Stewart came
home on Crows bunt, fumbled by
Martin. Chapman scored the next
minute on sacrifice fly by Walker.
Thompson ended the frame with a
fly to right, that was f1elded after a
long run by Moore.
In the Orlando half they came back
in great style when Martin hit over
short, Moore walked sending Martin
to second. Each advanced one base
on Blount's perfect bunt to third.
Then came Quinn. He doubled to deep
left, scoring both men and finally
scoring himself by taking third when
Stewart made running catch of Ste
phen's fly, and scoring when on the
attempt to catch him there the throw
was wild.
A one hand catch by Walker run
ming out to deep left of Blount's drive
was feature. Williams made a long
run to the foul line and caught
1hompson's fly, relayed the ball to
Martin, then to Blount for fast dou-
bic on Walker.

Soldiers who attended the mass meet

serious charge. They do not appear to
realize the embarrassing position IT
