her to try out for the team. He UNI
pired the second game between Ocala
and High Springs. The lads from
Starke only got seven singles, four
two-baggers and a home run off his
offerings. Rooney is an excellent um
pire. Pfeiffer pitched for Starke and
held our boys to six hits, two of

showed better form in this game than
he did in the game last week in
Starke.

CLANCY, who got single and three
two-baggers out of five times at bat.

hit ball over the fence at the local
park since the park was built twelve
years ago. Richburg poled one into

and pretty catch of foul fly in
