Henry robbed Smith of hit in the

Gaffney made pretty catch of Nor

Norton got even with Gaffney when
he went way back and got his hard
drive on the tips of his fingers. 1t
was an unusual catch.
The Lakeland fans got to old Joe
Tinker in the sixth inning and Joe
just could not help but say something
back, and then the fans sure did rag
him right. In the last half of the
ninth old Joe would not come out on
the coaching line for he knew what
the Highlander fans had for him and
he sure would have gotten it.
How did Zimmerman look when he
came down that third base line when
he was stealing home in the eighth?
Well. l can't tell you, but l know that
he was coming, for when he hit that
big catcher Wells he made him look
like sixteen cents, and knocked him
arolling, and the ball went rolling too.
and he was safe. You will have to
hand it to him for stealing home for
it is not the first time.

lice force of sixteen men. Where
were they yesterday? Before the game
there was a couple of gents going
around through the Lakeland crowd
wanting to bet, and l guess they got
