throwing him out Score: Freshies
0, Ocala 2.
Neither side scored in the second,
third or fourth, although the fourth
was featured with one of the pretty
plays of the game when Fred Luff-
man, Harry and Strick made a neat
double play. Walton got to frst~on a
single and then Scofield hit to Fred,
who caught Walton at second and
then Harry caught Scofield at first.
This was fast, pretty work on the
part of Fred and Harry and it wasn't
an accident either for those same two
duplicated the same stunt, catching
the same two men for the same dou-
BILE in the seventh inning.
In the fifth Ocala scored one more
and ought to have scored three or
four. Mickler came up first and
walked. Liddell struck out. Strick-
land fouled two or three times and
the balls and strikes were three and
two when Strick landed on the pill for
a terrible wallop to right field. SEQ
field should have caught the ball but
did not and Strick was on third and
Mike home before the ball was return
ed to the infield. Then came some bum
baseball. Strick played two far off
third and got caught but Brown didn't
profit by this example and loafed be-
tween second and third and also got
tagged.
The freshies failed to reach first in
the sixth, but Ocala added two more
dots to her score when Dinkins led
off with his long three-bagger to
right-center. Wood flew out to third.
Luffman didn' get hit but he feels
as if he did for the pitcher hit him
right where his fathers old razor
strop used to fall. Hansel came to bat
and hit long fly into that oak tree
! in left field and made three bases be-
fore he stopped to catch his breath,
but alas, Sir Umps, advised by the
second baseman, notified Hansel that
he had neglected to touch second base
in his wild haste. so Mr.. Leavengood
was called out, but anyway the hit
scored Luffman, Dinkins having al
ready scored by taking advantage of
a wild pitch. Joe Brooks peacefully
struck out. Score: Freshies 0, Ocala
5.
In the seventh Ocala retired the
freshies by the double already de-
scribed and fly to Harry, but Ocala
had another merry-go-round and add
ed two more scalps to her belt. Mick
Ter singled. Liddell walked. Strick-
land got to first when Mickler was
caught at the plate. Brown struck
out. Dinkins singled. scoring Liddell.
A couple of errors on thrown balls by
the second and third basemen scored
Strickland. Luffman struck out.
Score: Freshies 0, Ocala z.
In the eighth the freshies woke up
and scored two times before the
Ocala doctors and nurses could ad-
minister enough chloroform to COM
pletely quiet them. Morse walked
! Hitchcock hit a two-bagger. Mickler
tried to catch Morse on third and
threw wild to Fred and Morse scored
Hitchcock went to second on the
play Bracken singled and Hitchcock
scored. Mickler then resigned in IA
for of Strickland and Mike took the
initial sack. Strick struck Bange
out, Walton grounded out Strick to
first, Miller grounded out Fred to
Mike, at first Ocala didn't score in
the eighth. Score: Freshies 2, Ocals
IL.
In the ninth the freshies again
showed signs of life and Tailed two
more times. Hubbard, first up, hit to
Strick who fumbled and allowed him
to reach first. Hewey also hit to
Strick, who again fumbled and ther
threw wild to Mike when he did re
cover the ball, letting the runner ad-
vance to third. Hewey tried to steal
second and Hansel threw the bal
down but Harry was either not ex.
pecting it or was dreaming about the
good supper he was going to have fol-
the ball sailed on out to Jimmie in
center field and Hubbard scored while
