Story of How the Gainesville Team

day Afternoons Game
CL. T. IL

Gainesville Dragged before yester-
days game that Ocala should bite the
dust and when the game was over it
was evident that Ocala had a large
size mouthful of Gainesville sod. The
boys of the University City had their
batting eyes with them and secured
Is safeties from Taylor. Our boys
failed TO deliver the goods when they
swung the stick and only secured four
hits. Each team made two errors so
the fielding honors were about evenly
divided. Hogg, pitching for Gaines
vile, held 0cala to four hits and was
in no danger during any stage OF the
game. 0cala secured her only run in
the third inning. Leavengood led of
and got on through an error by sec
.ond base. Luffman sacrificed him to
second. Brooks walked. Harris hit
to pitcher and Brooks was caught at
second. Wood singled and Leaven-
good scored.
