this Afternoon

In a game played yesterday before
3l3 enthusiastic fans the local team
gave up the ghost and was buried
under six runs but DIR. Jake says he
thinks the boys were buried alive and
that they will dig themselves out to-
day in time to play Palatka a good
hot game. The bows from Gainesville
had it on our team from start. to
finish. Their pitcher, Dickson. was a
wonder and only allowed four hits
during the entire nine innings. Only
90 Ocala batters faced him. Ocala's
side of the game was one, two, three
affair with the exception of one in
ming. The visitors played errorless
ball and got IL hits. Ocala made four
errors to match her four hits. The
University started the ball rolling in
the first and made two runs. Carleton
led off with pop fly to Mickler, who
muffed it. Madison singled. Roach
hit to short who threw Madison out
at second, but the play was too slow
to catch Madison at first. Richbourge
doubled and scored Carleton. Ward
hit fly to center field and Richbourge
scored. Blake flew out to second.
Richbourge is a big Lacquer, having
played with Toledo in the American
Association and is this year sold TO
the New York Giants. He hit the
highest of any man in organized base
ball last year, having batting aver
age of over 400. Mickler did wise
thing and walked him whenever he
came tosbat with any men on bases.
Dickson also has his contract with the
Giants. Both boys are some bali
players.
Ocala did not score in the first, Sec
cnd or third innings, and the Gators
failed to score again until their half

not stutter and called Carleton out.
Madison famed and retired the side.

ming. Liddell led, off with a good,
healthy three-bagger. Strick tried to
equal it, but only succeeded in max
ing two bases on the drive he poled
out. Liddell scored. StrickN got out
trying to steal third. That was the
last of our rally. Brown went out
short to first. Clements hit two

grounded out, third to first.
In the fifth Ocala pulled pretty
play. Roach, the first man up fel
the University, singled. Richbourge
was next up and Mike donated hin
four so wide that he could not have
reached them with telephone pole
