Baseball GOSSIP
Ladies Day Friday!
!; X X

4; 4 4
Every lady or girl in Palatka, with
out regard to age, will be admitted
to the baseball park and a choice
grand seat tomorrow afternoon fret
of charge. The management wants
every lady in Palatka to come out anC
cheer the state champions to another
victory.
EppersOn will be on the mound to.
morrow and will probably be opposed
by Wood again, so a battle royal is
expected 1t is expected that the
greatest crowd that ever went to a
ball game in Palatka will be on hand,
as the ladies will not have to pay.
Ladies, make the old man take you.
Some wonderful tales are brought
back from Lake City by the Pals.
When Holden hit his two mile home
run in the ninth in Tuesdays game he
reached the home plate with his
tongue hanging out, as three Lake
City outfelders were relaying the
sphere back as fast as they could.
After the Pals had sailed four runs
away and had a two run lead the first
man up singled for the Terrors in
their half, the next one walked and
both were advanced on a sacrifice.
With a man on second and one on
third, and one out, Easterly and Fox
were next up. Robby walked over
to Epp and passed the couraged word.
History will record that EPp said
in reply: eff you ever saw a cracker
pitch, Just watch me now" Them is
a lot of words for Epp to utter, but
they didn't exaggerate what happen
ed thereafter. Easterly hit a week
fish to pitcher and Fox famed.
Wiley, the left handler recently seen
here with Blackshear, and who retired
after finding that he couldn't get
them over the plate, has Joined the
Pals and will probably start in this
afternoons game. Wiley is a star
twirler, and now gives the Pals two
left handlers with which it is expected
to NOV down left handed sluggers.
Mike Goodbread will probably be
the pitching selection of Manager
Easterly this afternoon. Mike has
won two out of three of his starts
against the Pals, but he is expected
to get his again this afternoon, ev-
1ning the score. i
Henry Gray has been released to
he Madison club and has already
foined them. The company was get
ing a little too fast for Henry's ex- |
'erience. He will make a great |
pitcher in time, but needs lots of |
work yet.
The Pals will fill their engagement |
With Gainesville next week, playing
here Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
lay. From Gainesville they go to
)cala for three games. The Pals are
anxious to trim the Wild
ats to even up for the last time they
we're in the Brick City.
+
Likewise, the Pals wish to demon
trate before the Gainesville people
hat it wasn't the umpire that made
gainesville break its contract here,
ut better ball club.
&
The following week, beginning Au-
'ust 7, the Kissimmee Cowpunchers
nil be here for two games, the Pals
laying return dates with the Cow
oys or August ID and Is.
