TOO MUCH
! HUMPHREYS
LOST GAME
YESTERDAY
tBy smiley.)

Wy NhAASy1
Bert Humphr:es is still the unbeat-
en- pitcher OF the League and yester-
days victory over the Highlanders
crowned him with his 14th win. The
locals threatened at several occa-
sions to break his winning streak
when they put two men on with only
one man down but the old boy tight
ened and retired the side without
score. In the ninth inning the locals
went after him again and staged
batting rally that set the fans q
roaring when they made a determined
attempt to tie the score. 1t certainly
looked dangerous for the old boy
and the Orlando fans who had started
to leave the grounds thinking the
game won, returned to their seats
and were breathing heavy. But luck
was against the home boys and the
best they could do was to score two
runs but they sure gave them a run.
Humphries pitched clever ball
throughout the game, but, without
taking any credit away from the hon
cred gent, he certainly keeps the
horseshoe right with him and the
breaks of the game favor him all
along. The locals touched Hump Tor
nine safeties but were unable to con-
meet at opportune time except in the
last frame. Fulton was on the firing
line for the locals and pitched shut
out ball excepting the sixth inning
= when the visitors fell on him FOL
three runs.
Well, we all enjoyed the game al
