TEAM SHUTS OUT OcALA

A~eShc SAtJ, Id, Aug ~ OpSCldlj
Sensational ball, not only from a
pitching standpoint, but likewise
from defensive point of view took
place here this Afternoon between
the Terrors and the Ocala Wildcats,
with the crew of Easterley's emerg-
| ing l to 0 victor over their Marion
county opponents. Today's battle
was completed in the remarkable
playing time of one hour and ten
minutes, this time being faster than
recent game played here between
the Terrors and Pals.
Manager Whitney selected himself
to twirl for the visitors, while Eas-
terly pinned his hopes on Red
Ulrich., Both Whitney and Ulrich
had all that was needed to win any
ordinary ball game, with honors be-
ing shade in favor of Ulrich on
account of the local twirler keep
ing his opponents from reaching
first for the first five innings of play.
However in closeup observation
of the two twirlers and how they
worked here today, an army of critics
would have differed in their opinions
as to who the verdict should have
been awarded to. Whitney allowed
his opponents four hits, while Ulrich
gave up the same number The costly
part of today's defeat charged to Whit
ney is accounted for in the first inning
his game
The Terrors deserved to win this
game, and then again looking at the
situation from the way their lone
run was scored, some. might disagree
as to whether luck broke their way
or not. Nevertheless, if luck did
play an important role in today's
victory, there remains no club in
Florida that is entitled to a little
more luck than they have been get
ting than the Terrors.
Harrigan's brilliant fielding behind
Ulrich was the outstanding feature
of the game, this versatile performer
accepting seven very hard chances
without an error. Three of his stops
were of a one-handed variety, while
one in particular bordered on the
>,1aryeIous
Several other players contributed
stellar game behind Ulrich and
Whitney of whom some deserve con-
siderable credit. Those who played
excellent ball behind the two twirl-
ers. were: Gilmartin, Fox, Easterly
and Ulrich himself, for the locals, and
Taylor, Francis and Liddell for the
visitors
Fred Francis. star from ST. Au-
gustine, brought out some clever
fielding for the visitors, in fact, it is
seriously doubted had not this young
phenom have played as good as he
did the Terrors would have had a bet
ter chance to have sent more runners
to first.
Lake City and Ocala both made
two errors, the two being charged
to the locals having no effect, while
Rhymer, a rather spectacular player
for the visitors, and one who always
plays good game, was charged with
the error that gave the Terrors their
lone run, and also the battle.
Thirty-one men faced Ulrich in
nine innings, with twenty-eight Ter
rors facing Whitney. Whitney sent
| the Terrors back in one, two, three
order in the second, third, fourth and
fifth innings, while Ulrich sent his
men back in the same order for the
first five frames.
In the first inning the Terrors sent
their lone run of the game across the
pan. Huber and Harrigan, the first
two men to face Whitney, were re-
tired on easy outs. Fox hit a single
past third and when Rhymer attempt
ed to throw him out at first, his throw
went way past third and the runner
pulled up at second. Manager Eas-
terly then won the game by sending
another past third, in identically the
same spot as Fox had hit his safety.
Manager Whitney, the visitors
star portsider, will welcome the Ter
rors back on their home grounds next
Monday and Tuesday; then the Ma
rion county boys expect to give Eas-
terlys crew another hard struggle
for victories. Ocalas team, collect
lively and individually, is one Of the
finest in the state, and especially are
their pitchers very good.
Everybody in Lake City that can
possibly travel by auto, train and
foot will journey over to Live Oak
tomorrow, where the Terrors and
Madison will play the four-game Sc
| ries. Manager Easterly expects to
take his team over in the early morn
ing so as to give his teammates a
