second Luffman ran on for third and
made it safely when he and the third
baseman ran together and the latter
dropped the ball. Liddell hit to the
pitcher and reached first but Luffman
was caught at the plate. Leavengood
hit to the pitcher and reached first,
but Mickler was caught coming home
and retired the side. Hankins GER
tainly did get himself out of a deep
hole that time by lis own good field
ing. He made both successful PLAYS
to the plate Ocala did not make the
run she was SO sure of getting.
Sixth inning: Things looked bad
again in the sixth but Mickler pulled
out safely. w. Cause flew out to
short. Meet singled neatly. NJ. John
son hit to short and Meet was forced
at second. Kirlen hit grass cutter
to Leavengood who set himself for it
and'when it hit his glove it was so hot
that he was pushed back to a sitting
position. Before he could get over
his intense surprise and recover his
balance, Kirlen was on first and
Leavengood was holding useless ball
in his hands and had a sickly grin on
his face. j. Johnson thought Leav-
engood was ratified by his error so he
pounced one out toward second, but
Leavengood isn't the kindNto mind a
little thing like an error, so he gather
ed Johnson's offer into his glove and
tossed it to Strickland for the third
out, at the same time saving a run
and giving the fans time to breathe
easy once more. Ocala didn't threat
en- in the sixth.
Seventh inning. The fans were all
afraid of the "unlucky seventh" for
Ocala but things changed this time.
Tarpon went out one. two, three.
Cause did get single but he tried to
stretch it to double and was thrown
out at second. Ocala reared over the
traces in the seventh and it was all
Hankins could do with lines and whip
to put US back in the shafts before we
scored. The grandstand and the crowd
in the cars went wild in the seventh
Luffman led off and popped out to
pitcher. Mickler hit long fly to left
field and the fielder dropped the ball.
Right there business picked up with a
rush. Liddell few out to center.
Leavengood singled and Mickler went
to third. Wood struck out but the
catcher dropped the ball and had to
throw to first. Mickler ran for home
on the play but Wood was called out
at first on very close decision and
Mikes run didn't count The excite
ment was intense then and the crowd
was boiling like the sand in the
''Devil's Kitchen" at Silver, Springs.
Eighth inning. Only three Tarpons
faced Mickler in this inning. Ocals
made the run that broke the tie and
won the game. Strickland led off with
a hit. Brooks sacrificed him to sec
ond and Strickland stretched it to
IL DCNduSC InC
baseman dropped the ball. The ball
rolled fifteen feet behind third and
Strickland lit out for home like a
rabbit with the hounds behind him.

double play and retired the side
without further scores. Tarpon 1,
Ocala, 2.
Ninth inning. Tarpon didn't smell
first. Thus ended the fastest game
this year. Two double plays featured
the game.
