Lakeland continued its losing
streak by dropping the first game of
this series to Orlando. six to four.
Payne the new pitcher. was on the
mound for the locals and showed up
in fine style letting the hard hitting
visitors down with six hits.
For the first five frames he had the
visitors eating out of his hand, and
with two run lead looked like an
easy winner, but his witness, to-
gethcr with some opportune hitting
gave the visitors the lead.
Orlando added another run in The
seventh when Kowalski threw low to
first in an effort to complete an easy
double play which would have retired
the side but his bad peg allowed
Burke to score from third.
A walk, and error followed by a
three Dagger scored two more for the
visitors in the last frame which prac-
tically put the game Gu ice.
O'Day started the scoring of the
game when he slammed the old apple

run. Tho locals added another run
in the fifth when Norton walked, stole
second and third and after two down
Swacina was given pass TO first and
forced Fry to Tlay for second on an

the locals in the seventh, but Tinker

when he derricked Ery and sen; Tay-

good style.

DAYTONA BEATEN
BY SMOKERS in
PITCHERS BATTLE

Tampa, May 3.-Backed by almost
flawless support and flinging especi-
ally strong in the pinches, Jim Black
turned the Daytona islanders back
yesterday afternoon, s to 2, in one of
the best games of the season on the
local lot. Black depended upon his
support and it did not fail him ex-
cepting on one or two occasions, and
even then the hobbies were not ex-
tremely costly.
Manager Martins choice for mound
duty was little Lefty Chapman, who
also pitched a good brand of ball
with the exception of one or two
places. The Smokers were able to
get their hits in clusters and thus
count them for most. Chapman lost
control upon two or three occasions
getting himself in bad holes, but he
pulled out once himself and his mates
came strongly to his rescue upon
