basket and when he threw to first he
didn't really throw to first but to the
automobiles along the first base line
and Brooks stood grinning at him
from second base when he had the
heart to look around. Dinkins struck
out and all Brooks running came to
;naught. Winter Garden. 8. Ocala. 1.
Fourth inning: Ocala tightened the
adjustment and Winter Garden didn't
Lget taste of first base this inning.
1t was this inning that featured Luff-
mans pretty catch. Winter Garden
was not to be distanced so they kept
our boys off first and strange to re-
late, Crocker got revenge on Fred
Luffman for robbing him. Fred drove
one at Crocker, who made a mirac-
IuIous stop and threw Fred at at first.
Winter Garden, 8. Ocala, 1.
Fifth innine4 Pounds led off with
a single. Stole second, reached third
on a wild throw by Clements but died
there when the next three batters
flew out to pitcher, short and third.
Ocala had three men to go to the bat
and return shortly to the bench.
i Sixth inning: Tanner led off for
the visitors and drew an error from
Wood. He reached second when Dim
kins dropped strike. He was ad-
vanced to third by Wilson's sacrifice
but was caught asleep on third and
thrown out, Dinkins to Luffman.
Crocker struck out. Ocala woke up
in her half of the sixth and scored an
other run. Wood led off and went out,
short to first. Brooks didn't believe
that Pounds had the stuff so he tried
him with fly and got educated to the
/ fact that Clyde Pounds was on the
LOB. Dinkins poled one out. Harris
wasn't going to let Dink get ahead of
him so he also singled. Luffman fol-
lowed suit with the third single and
stead second but Kindred belongs to
the Winter Garden police force and
lcaptured him three feet before he got
to the deuce bag. Winter Garden, 8,
Ocala, 2.
/ Seventh inning: Shanahan struck
out. Kindred flew out to center.
Pounds drew an error from short.
Bouyer singled but Pounds tried to
stretch it too much and was thrown
out at third, Harris to Woods to Luff-
man. Ocala lost a wonderful oppor-
tunity to tie the score in the seventh.
Clements fouled out to catcher. Lid
dell hit long drive to center field
and rounded second in perfect safety
but Jimmie-like tried to make a
three-bagger out of it and was caught
mile off third. Leavengood followed
with a long two-bagger that would
have scored Liddell-if, but why
bother with the 'ifs"?. Strickland
got hit by the pitcher. Wood hit to
short and Leavengood was caught GO
ing to third.
Eighth inning: Donahoo led off with
single. Kirlen hit to Clements and
Donahoo was caught at second. Tan
: ner and Wilson succumbed to the
hooks from the mighty arm of Glenn
ents. Ocala got the goat of the Win
ter Garden pitcher and infield this
round and added the the run that
evened up the score. Brooks drew
the only error Pounds made. Dinkins
singled. Harris singled, scoring
Brooks. Luffman hit to pitcher who
caught Harris at third Clements
struck out. Liddell flew out to short
Winter Garden, 3, Ocala, 8.
. Ninth inning: Here is where ex.

hypo needles had to be used on all the
weaker-hearted fants. Winter Garden
didn't worry US at all in her half OF
the ninth and then we came to bat de.
