The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1922-07-11
ocALA, FLORIDA, TUESDAY, JULY II. 1922
WILDCATS LOST
To THE. MU[LETS
Ancient City Team is an Aggregation
Worthy of Ocala's Best
Efforts

In spite of the herculean efforts of
Old Folks Whitney the Wildcats were
unable to scale the Mullets in the first
game of a three-game series ON the
home lot Monday. Whitney was IN
him prime and pitched 2 game of ball
that was worth any mans money to
see. He only allowed the Saints four
hits, only two of which came in one
inning. Whitney had the odds slight
ly on Collee, who twirled for the Null
lets. Collee also only let up four hits
and like Whitney's four hits, he only
allowed two to be punched in any one
| inning, but Collee did not have the
control that Whitney displayed. He
| walked two men, hit one and has a
couple of wild pitches charged to his
credit. On the other hand, he struck
| out five to Whit's two. Taken all in
al, the pitchers battle was very near
~ draw.
| When it came to miscues, the Wild
| cats made one more than the Mullets
and it was this extra error that cost
the extra run that the visitors made.
Brooks threw wild to third and let
| Collee score in the seventh inning.
Each of the. battling teams snatch
ed double play from their opponents.
Van Landingham, Leon and Brooks
pulled off the twin out for Ocala,
while Collee and Toilette did the same
stunt for the Saints.
The game was the fastest seen here
this season and was chock full of
snappy plays. Probably the outstand-
ing feature of the game was the long
running catch made by Harry Wood
in right field when he robbed Davies
of wonderful hit. Harry surely
covered himself with glory when he
nabbed that one. Ocala's Van made
a pretty jumping catch of the line
drive that Andreu tried to hit over
him. That same Louis Van also made
peach of stop when he stabbed the
not grounder that Wolfe tried to hit
through him. Louis played jam-up
game of ball yesterday. Davies dis
tinguished himself in left field when
he caught LiddelPs fly just before it
hit the ground. Jimmie says that all
Davies needs is a mask and white
, horse.
Il Neither side scored until the sew.

two runs. Francis led off with a clear

Francis Hernandez hit to third WHIT
threw him out at first but COLES

a wild throw by Brooks to Louis Va1
Landingham. (Why spell it out
Well Louis has brother playing
third for the Mullets. Since boil
brothers play third it is pretty har,
to keep them straight.) Follett,
walked but was caught sound asleel
on first and the side was retired witt
only two runs.
