from second on the single. King sac
rifced Dinkins to third whence he
scored on a wild pitch by Pierce.
Brooks struck out and retired the
side. Lawtey, 8, Ocala, 2.
Third inning: King seemed to
come into his own in this inning and
LaWtey was at his tender mercy until
the ninth, not making a hit or even
getting a man on first until the ninth
inning, with the exception of Wall in
this inning, when he reached first on
an error by Luffman and second on a
wild throw on the part of King. Ocala
scored again in the third. Luffman
led off with single, but tried to
stretch it to a double when the center
fielder fumbled and let the ball get by
but Epperson was fast in recovering
and caught Luffman at second. Lid
dell went out short to first but with
two down Leavengood doubled. Strick-
land tripled and scored Leavengood.
Strickland went wild on base and
tried to steal home but was detected
and arrested at the plate. Lawtey, 3,
Ocala, 8.

first. Ocala had the same luck or
worse for she played into double
play when Dinkins hit line drive to
short and Swink was doubled back at
first. Lawtey, A, Ocala. 8.
| Fifth inning: Lawtey out one, two,
three. Ocala tied the score this time.

ond when the second baseman drop
ped the ball Scored on Brooks sin
gle. Brooks stole second but died
there when Luffman, Liddell and
Leavengood made three short. sweet
outs. Lawtey, A, Ocala, A.
Sixth inning: Lawtey didn't worry
US much for Fred Luffman and Leav-
engood each made pretty running
stops in this inning and took the wind
out of the sails of Wall and Goodwin.
D. Moore thought it useless to try
the impregnable infeld so he unosten-
tatiously struck out. Strickland SIN
gled and stole second but went wild
again and was out trying to pilfer the
third sack. That disgusted Wood and
Swink and they famed the ether.
Lawtey, 4, Ocala, A.
Seventh inning: The lucky seventh
wasn't notoriously lucky for either
team. Lawtey didn't cross sack one
and although Ocala got Dinkins there
by an error Epperson robbed US of an
other run with that ambitious catch
j of his in center field. Lawtey, 4,
Ocala, A.
Eighth inning: The Lawtey boys
didn't have time to rest themselves
before the first three up were also
down and they were trotting back to
the field. Ocala thought she had won
the game in her half when she had
made another run. Not Lawtey man
had gotten a hit or even reached the
first sack since the third inning. King
was holding them at his mercy so we
thought our one-run lead in the
eighth was the winning run. but, oh,
well, I'm getting ahead of the story.
Let's tell how we got that one run
first. 1t came again with two down
Liddell and Leavengood struck out
J Then Strickland singled. Wood drew
, an error. Swing doubled and scored
Strickland Dinkins made the third
out, second to first. Lawtey, 4, Ocala,

! Ninth inning: All Ocala had to dc
was to continue the stuff she had been
handing out for the last six innings
and the game would be over. Specta-
tors were preparing to 60 home, but
alas, King weakened and my what a
t merry-go-round those Lawtey boys
did have. Wall led off with a single
Goodwin sacrificed him to second. Hub
