The PaIatka boys outclassed the
OcaIa aggregation in the third game
of the series. The Palatka boys could
not stay for the game Friday so will
come again and play US at later
date. 1t is hoped by Manager Jake
that our team will have ironed out the
kinks and will be ready to wipe up the
earth with the Palatka boys. Glenn
ents tossed the old pill for the locals
and pitched very good ball, although
they hit him pretty freely in spots.
Lepper twirled real good ball for the
visitors after the first inning.
