TERRORS LOST FOR
THE SECOND TINE
But the Wildcats Had to Do Their
Darndest to Win Yesterdays
Baseball Battle

= y
afternoon with the Lake City sTerrors
and the -Ocala Wildcats as principals.
The Terrors and the Wildcats have
played four extra inning games this
season. The two teams have to work
harder against each other than against
any other teams they go up against.
Each team used two pitchers in an
attempt to stop the slugging of the
other side in yesterdays game. Ocala
began the game with Hernandez in
the box. Bert did very well until the
fifth inning, when the Terrors got to
him for three hits and two runs.
Again in the eighth he was unable to
stop them and was relieved by Willis,
who held the Terrors to three hits for
the rest of the game.
The Terrors started Overstreet and
he lasted until the eighth when he
was replaced by Goodbread. All the
pitchers were in good form but the
teams were simply hitting them out
and nobody could have stopped them.
The stars were as thick as the milky
way in this game. M. Overstreet made
stop while pitching that was an
eye-opener He fielded slow bunt
and although in his attempt to field it
he fell he made perfect throw to
first in time to catch Leon. Van per-
formed his usual stunt of making
pretty catch of a foul fly. Van is
certain death to fouls Rymer caught
a long foul that Goodbread sent to
his garden Bracken nabbed another
foul that was as hard to get as the
one Van captured. Eddie Overstreet
played his usual stellar game and in
addition to his regular work took in
another of the many fouls that were
slapped up in this game.
At bat there were several heavy
sluggers. Van got couple of sin
giles. Easterly, Harrigan, Leon and
Bracken each got a double and a
single. Hernandez and Taylor and
Bracken and Taylor pulled off couple
of real snappy double plays. Bracken
made his first out by an unassisted
force on the second sack and then
threw to Taylor for the double. Her
nandez got his by catching a line
driev and making the double at first.
The Wildcats got an early start and
scored two in the first inning. Fran
els led off with a single to left. Tay-
lor sacrificed him to second. Leon
doubled to left and scored Francis.
Brown flew out to short but Rymer
singled through second and scored
Leon for the second run. Bracken
retired the side when he went out,
Van to Gilmartin.
The Terrors came back in the fifth
and tied the score. Easterly led off
with slow single to second which he
heat out Gilmartin singled to left
sending Easterly to third. Harrigan
doubled to right and scored both
Easterly and Gilmartin. Goodbread
flew out to center. Huber went out
pitcher ito first and Overstreet went
out Leon to Taylor, retiring the side
In the sixth Ocala made two more
runs and was once more i'm the lead

mer. Wood singled through short
and scored Bracken. Overstreet walk

Whitney decided that Hernandez hac
done all that was wanted of him fo,
the day and jerked him out. Willis
new recruit from Madison, stepped
into the box with three on and Tes
Easterly to face him. He tried tt
slip one by Ted but had no luck TO,
Ted drove it to left field for two bases

blue for Willis but he set his shoulde
to the wheel and first thing the fan
knew Gilmartin and Harrigan ha,
made the last outs of the inning.

last of the eleventh when the Wild
cats broke down the iron nerve of tn
Terrors' second baseman and score,
