JACKSONVILLE
PUTS IT OVER
SAME OLD WAY
(By y. II. Vinet.)

Reporting the jacksonville bail
games is beginning to be like the
small boy that went to a circus and
when asked what he he saw, said
1.-The same Old thing | saw at the
Others Always the same. This
time the BeanviIles were the VIC
tins by a score Of to /.
Through a misunderstanding the
shipbuilders' regular pitcher, Smith,
failed to put in an appearance and
"Mugsy' Merritt was forced to call
upon his old standby-Dendinge
We must say, considering the fact
that he has not been called upon
to do any mound work this season,
his pitching was remarkable, having
perfect control, not giving a single
base on balls, and allowing only
eight hits.
The visitors took the lead in the
first when they scored their lone
run on Milier's double, followed by
Bonnano's single.
The locals tied the score in the
third when Warner was safe on
Sperber's error and scored on Cohn' s
long double to center.
The shipbuilders added two more
in the fourth and one in the fifth.
The management will do well if it
coaches the team in more team
work. Every man is, mechanically,
a good ball player. Their base run
ming in Sundays game was about
the poorest | have ever had the mis-
fortune to witness. Just think Of
l. ~, 1f he
ing doubtless two bases on balls, one
hit batter and three men safe on
first on errors, an equivalent to s
hits, and they only made four runs.
Come on boys, forget your individu-
al batting average and play for the
betterment of your team.
The poor base running may have
been caused by some of the players
nursing. injured limbs. Our advice
is, Don't only use your head for
the cap you wear, but THINK" as
this a la Merkel base running won't
win many ball games.
1t would not be fair to close this
article without saying word of
praise about that sterling little ball
4 player, Oulliber, and the way he
handled the three chances which
came his way. AS we said before,
this boy with a little more conf
dence and the proper coaching will
make one of the best Dali players
turned out from this neck of the
woods.
