lhe macnlnefy OF the ArlO DO4
Company's ball team is made chiefly
for handling pine logs so the heavy
oak timber of the Ocala nine was too
heavy for them and broke down the
same skids that successfully slid
Ocala to defeat few weeks ago
In spite of many setbacks in secur-
ing a team Ocalat was at last able to
get ten men together and go out to
Oak yesterday afternoon to play the
boys there 1t looked for a while as
if we would have to play with seven
or eight men. Luffman was sick and
could not go. I.iddeH was in Jack
sonville Harry Wood was partly dis
abled. Leavengood said he didn't
think he could get off (but the writer
kidnapped him) and Stevens couldn't
leave his job.
The Arlo boys were full of errors
yesterday and gave Ocala most of her
runs. No special features were evil
dent unless one might mention the
hitting of Clements. Although he
was pitching and does not usually hit
when working in the box. the Com
merciaI kid landed on three safeties
out of four times at bat. Leavengood
and Wood each got two hits out of
five chances.
