in Cusack's place, and play was re-
sumed.
Prior to this part of the game an
other near mutiny on the part of
Daytona was staged and with a large
portion of Justice behind it, The
sacks were loaded and Bonnie Stew
art was the hitter. Stewart skied
in the general direction OF left field
and McGee came in ON the run, made
4 pretty try and either dropped the
catch or lost the ball when he went
to throw it. The runner on third,
figured il a clean muff, and cane
home without the formality of tag
ging up. Pence who was on first,
hustled back to that bag and was
joined there by Stewart who had
just hit the ball. Jordan was on see
pnd and scoOted back to that sack
The argument conferred itself around
whether or not the catch was a
catch; whether it was muffed fly
and who was entitled to occupy tn
sacks. After much discussion pro and
con, in which argument Martin and
the Daytona team argued for a double
play the umpires and HARRISON and
Il portion of the Lakeland team for
forccOut at second base, il appear
ing that player Pence had 10 place
to go, it was finally decided that the
run counted, that Jordan was entitled
to second base and Stewart to first
whiChS made Pence the goat s. far
as the out was concerned.
Not being satisfied with the above
near riot another was staged in the
sixth. Smith after two were out,
singled ana stole second. Jordan hit
to center field and when Niece boot
ed the ball Smith scored, being eS-
cOrted a good piece OF tie way down
the line by the coach at third base.
Martin claimed that the coach had
touched Smith, which if he had, would
automatically retired the base runner.
Neither Lipe nor LOhr saw it in the
same light, and the run, after We
hement protest by Martin was allow
ed to stand. Jack suggested to Lipe
that he should be with the Mack Sen
nett comedy company instead OF the
Florida State League and lis parting
shot to the jumps was something like
this: Il suppose that if the co2che"
had slid in home you would have call
ed him safe and entitled 10 a score
Thus ended the comedy Tor the al
tcrnO0n. The game, from Il High
lander standpoint was all that could
be desired.
Vincent Haynes, whom followers
of the game will remember for his
stellar work with Barlow when that
town was Il member of the Florida
State League, and the liighldnders

drew the assignment for the clan OF
HARRISON. Despite the fact that Vim
cent has been ont Of the game the
better part of the season his work
was all that could be asked for. He
had good control, until the eighth in
ming, when he pasted a couple OF
our visitors in the ribs, having given
up tow bases on balls prior to, that
and he had a good hook a change
of pace and great deal of Difficult
ty in getting his fast ball over. Any
how he held the usually hard hitting
Islander crew to a meaSley five hits,

was given faultless support by his
team mates, spectacular work by Gil
son and Jordan saving him couple
oil time.
The Highlanders opened with their
heavy artillery in the second inning,
after having been retired in order
in the first frame. Stewart, first up,
grounded to Martin for the first out.
HARRISON had better luck and when
his hard hit ball to Henderson on
third haudcuffed that young man the
manager was the first Highlander to
occupy the first base in the game.
HARRISON got into a kidding match
with Purcell and wound up By pulling
