AROUND HOME TEAM
Strawberry Pickers Put the kibosh On
the Ocala Boys Yesterday, in
Standard Time and Great
Shape
(By L. T. ~

at all stages of the game yesterday
and the Lawtey boys stayed IN the
game from start to finish. only having
two errors charged to their account,
both of which were wild throws by
Hubbard, their southpaw singer. The
locals seemed unable to handle the
ball, either in the pinch@s or at the
easy stages. Eight bingles were
placed againts them. Dinkins and
Swink seeming to be in worse condl-
ton than the rest of the boys. Woods
error in left field came on hard
chance after long run and was ex-
cusable. Swinks' two errors were
both on hard chances. The first one
was when the ball was behind the
runner until it was right on Swlnk
and the second was when he made
pretty running stop but lost his bal
ance and was unable to throw the
ball to first. Dinkins' errors were In
throwing the ball. He was either up
in the air or on the ground with all
his pegs yesterday. Something must
have been radically wrong with the
boy. Both pitchers pitched good ball
with the odds in favor of Vann. Both
men allowed six hits but Vann had
the advantage in strike outs, getting
13 to Hubbard's seven. Vann was
little wild in two innings and walked
three men. Hubbard had good control
all through the game. Vann fielded
his position beautifully. this being an
outstanding feature of the game.
Harry Wood made top notch running
catch in the third inning when he
robbed Epperson of clean two
Dagger. There were no other notable
features in the game.
