PALS END SERIES
F|FTY-FIFTY AND
LET CRACK: RS CO
Fierce Rally in Ninth
Saves Bad Looking
Game for Locals

The Pals split fifty-fifty with the
Georgia tcrakers from Blackshear ii
the thiRd game of the series played
at theban yard yerterday, and like
wise divided things as evenly as pas
sible with the visitors for the series
Yesterdays score was 6-6.
From the time Mr.. Gray passed
Mr.. Sands and then slammed Mr..
Kicklighter's roller over the moist
dome of Mr.. Quinn, of Ybor City,
essaying role at first base while
Senior Larzo was backstopping, until
he finally exuded his swan song in the
sixth bugs and buggines could see the
final Only Heroic worked prevented
consummation of fears. Mr..
Bsnstow, who many had thought too
long stall fed, dashed into the breach
and turned back the Georgians in
their march through Florida.
1t was a cold and blustery arter-
neon for fandom. Not even heat e.
mitted by/Mr. Carraway, the sizzling
leader of the Georgians, could warm
the fast chilling hearts in the stands.
Three runs in the first round behind
as tight pitcher as Mr.. Warren
might we'll chill the blood. 1t was
mot that so many of the Georgians
rolled the sphere safely athwart the
emerald sward, but it was Mr.. Gray'S
inability to clutch the ball so that his
break Innings would hold. Just to
prove that this was the trouble, after
he had passed Mr.. Sands, firstup in
the opening round, he made a two
base overthrow to first and then pass
ed the feverish Mr.. Carraway. Mr..
Beasley then slammed one against the
left field fence and three runs were
soon in the bat bag.
Three times during the fray Mr.
Durrance came to the rubber, and
three times he emitted safe hit, e.
king out three runs in sequence.
MIR. Durrance pulled off his outer
casing after the first run, profiting
by the experience of Mr.. Peters, who
found that even a rubber shirt will !
melt from atmospheric friction if a
player Get etc to sscing t. FAST .-sR-
In the second Mr.. Durrance made
his first appearance, with his blazing
shirt ambushed. He singled and
Warren put him down after which
Sands fouled TO third and Kicklight-
er's single to left counted the run.
In the fourth, with extra raiment
discarded, Mr.. Durrance hit dou-
BILE. If he had shed his boomers he
might have hit a triple the next time
up. Anyway he got to third when Mr.
Warren attempted to bunt, but
thoughtlessly beat it out for a hit.
Sands tall fly to RICH was relayed
back to the plate perfectly, but just
as it got within Larzo's grip it took
bobble and squirrel into the press
box, leaving Mr.. Durrance to score
at will.
In the sixth Mr.. Dorrance again
pried the round open with a single,
having doomed his shirt again after
being informed by the advertising a.
gency which has purchased spaced on
the back of the Georgians that he
would have display the signs at all
times. And again Mr.. Warren on ar
infield out That ended matters for
the visiters.
