PITCHERS
FAILED To STOP
LOCAL SWATFES7

the onslaughts of the local sluggers
but all to no avail for the locals were
going good and q mere quartette Of
pitchers were as nothing in their
young lives. The final score was II
ITO 5. with Palatka the favorite.
. However when the game opened uI
and the visitors got one hit and one
run in the first and five hits anG
three runs in the second, things
looked very dark and dismal indeed
for the locals. In the first innings
Sanford was very weak and ineffec-
tive and had it not been for the ex-
'cellent support which he received
the score board might have told a
different tale. Both infeld and out.
field played superb game and at
several stages of the game kept run
nefs from crossing the plate by ac-
cepting chances which looked like
sure hits. Sanford was never very
effective with his twisters. The Gu
bans seemed to find him at will But
they were unable to make their hits
count on the score board.
Attendance Poor
Several persons who saw the game
asked why Palatkans did not turn
out for the games any better. 1t
seemed hard for some of the visitors
who were present to understand why
the local people did not turn out to
see their team in action when it has
the reputation which the Palatka
team has. No doubt those same WISH
tors will be surprised to learn that
the attendance was very much bet
ter yesterday afternoon than at the
game on the previous day and much
better that day than at the games
last week with the Sanford team.
Whilethe attendance for the game
yesterday was much better than of
the day before there is still a great
deal of room for Improvement. 1t is
a great pity that the local people do
not give the team any better support
than has been the case of late.
Manager Fearnside states that if
the attendance is not better the team
will have to disband for a lack of
funds. He says that the team cannot
run all summer if they do not get bet
ter support.
