HIGH SPRINGS HAD
TOO MUCH HARTMAN
Pitcher of the Visiting Team Part Of
The Time Had the Local
Players Paralyzed
IL. T. ID

Ocdld yesterday AFTERNOON Wnen HART
man pitched them to a three to moth
ing victory. Hartman's timely and
terrific hitting coupled with his in
vincible pitching was the big noise in
this game. He only let up four hits
during the game and himself secured
credit for two-bagger and a couple
of singles. His two-bagger would
have been home run but for the tree
in left field. The boy is certainly there
with the willow. Red Ulrich who
} twirled for the locals was no small
pumpkin himself. The High Springs
team is famous for its sluggers but
they only connected with six of Reds
offerings and two of these hits were
scratches. One was a fluke pop up to
the pitcher who expected second base
to catch it, and the other was an in
field hit
The game had few sensational
plays. Jackson for High Springs and
Brooks for Ocala each made a pretty
catch on first base and saved their
team mates wild throw. A high
wind made the fielding of fly balls an
uncertain proposition. 1t caused both
Overstreet and Bamburg to miss high
fouls and made the felders misjudge
several flies. When the ball left the
bat the outfelders would start for the
fence only to find that the wind had
retarded the speed of the ball to such
an extent that they would have to re-
trace their steps in order to get under
it. On one occasion the wind lulled
minute and the ball took a sudden
squirt over the fields head.
AS it happened:

Rracken took the one, two, three order.
