FORM ON MOUND
Lamotte's Error Gives
Philly Team Only Run.
Play in Tampa Today.
GAINEsvILLE( Fla. March 1


Nick Altrock was not satisfied with
IN exhibition of how to play first-
base yesterday so he assigned him
self to the pitchers box this after
noon in the final game here against
the Phillies. Nick announced yes
terday afternoon to the grandstand
and bleacheritss that be would hurl
for four innings and that he would
give every man in the inclosure a
cigar for every run that was scored
of him. He did not have to buy any
cigars, nor to be exact. he doesn't
owe anybody cigars, for he held
Wild Bill Donovsn's folks in check
until he gave up his job and turned
II over to Swede Erickson at the be-
ginning of the fifth inning. Swede
allowed one run to be scored on his
Scandinavian delibery. but his team
mates were punching their bingles
and the Senatorial Yanigans had no
trouble in winning. 4 to l.
Nick took himself very seriously
while he adorned the mound and
evidently the Phillies took him the
same way for they were able to do
no more than hit him fitfully. To
be sure. the Phlladelphians nicked
Nick for six safe blows in the four
rounds he worked. but they were
not grouped in the run-delivery
way. Nick showed that he still has
some stuff left. In the second in
ming Enzmann doubled with only
one man down. but the famed base
ball comic prevented his getting to
the plate by retiring the next two
batsmen with ease.

In the third round trouble started

when the Miller boys began the
.ound with safe swats. But again
Sick was equal. IL not a little ahead
u the occasion. He caught Ralph

he knack of keeping them well
scattered, so that the PhiIs, while
hey threatened several times, could
rot put over enough runs to make
he fray interesting. Four Of the
?hilIies succumbed to Erick's de-
livery on strikes.
An error was responsible for the

blot was splashed on the Washing

after two men had been retired.

Ralph Miller hit an easy roller to
Samotte. who started to toss to sec

inslly lost everybody. That filled

moment later when Jack Millers
