LAKELAND FANS saw One OF BEST
GAMES OF THE SEASON ON THURSDAY

made it two down when he flaw out to
center. However, the relief was only
temporary as Stanley singled in the
general direction of left field and Bige'
low made the count for the inning
read two. Dean grounded to the in
field, and the Saints scoring for the
afternoon was "muchly" over with.
AS before remarked the Highlanders
tied the count in the third frame
Stewart was out via the box route
however, Whitley Kowalski pasted one
on the nose that sailed ovGeI Bige-
lows head and Whitley caught his
breath at third base. HARRISON sin
singled down the third base line a
mile minute and Whitley knOtted the
count ellison singled and Pence beat
out a hit toward third base, loading
the sacks. Scott unfortunately hi;
into a double play and the count even
all. In the fifth the locals obtained Il
one run lead temporarily when Har-
bison, leading off, singled to left. 1t
looked like a wasted hit as both Gil
son and Pence flew out to the Outfield
however, Scott rode one to left that
was good for two sacks and the High
lander boss checked in. The game
rocked along in this stage, as far as
the HighlanderS were concerned, un
til the eighth frame when the wreck
ing crew got on the job and the game
was iced away. Scott singled and an
chored at first while Smith was Whit
fing at three of Senior Hernandez :
wide breaking hooks. OF sudden
Scott decided second base was a bet
ter location for himself and proceeded
to swipe it. Moore, throwing in that
direction to head him off, neglected
to figure the windage on his rifle arm
and Scott ambled to third when the
peg rolled into center. Payne, who had
up to this time been unable to connect
safely did that little thing, it being
a triple to right and Scott rode in as
did O'Brien, who had reached first
on a hit down the third base too hard
to handle. Senior Jose delivered him
self of wild heave and Payne count
ed with the final Highlander tally.
In the ninth the Saints were unable
to count or to cause any of the few
cash customers who were present to
feel an extra thrill, and the game
well, it was a Highlander win.

GIANTS HAVE A SLUMP

New York, Aug. 1.-THE skidding
Giants tumbled to defeat for the third
straight time yesterday, to 8, by the
baseball order of the Cincinnati Reds,
falling still further away from the Ma
ticnal League lead as the Cardinals
won an easy victory from the Braves
by the same score.
The McGraw men are now a game
and half behind the Cards.
The Pirates, with the Philadel-
phians as their opponents, in their
eleventh straight win batted out 16
hits to win II to and moved into
third place. Brooklyn's many hits
went for 16 runs against the lonely
ninth inning score of the Cubs.
The American League teams were
idle.

EFFORT WILL Be MADE TO MERGE TWO
ASSOCIATIONS OF HORSESHOE PITCHERS

Des Moines Ia, Aug. LILY The
N: lated n.ess - llorsesh o pitch
ers of the nations will meet to reor-
ganize the sport on a national basis
at their national tournament to be
held here at the state fair August
% to September /, according TO B.
G. Leighton, of Minneapolis presi-
dent of the National Horseshoe Pitch
ers' Association.
Growing by leaps and bounds, the
sport has penetrated to virtually ev-
cry community in the United States
and numbers approximately one mil
lion men and women players at pres
ent. President Leighton said. Thous'
ands of clubs have been organized.
rules of the game have been stand
ardized and generally adopted. 1t
now remains to establish on self
sustaining basis a central and con-
trolling figure devoted to the welfare
of the game, he said.
Every horseshoe club in the country
is being urged to send a delegate
to the national tournament here to
help determine the future of the
sport.
The Des Moines convention will be
of Importance to the game because
of the pending merger of the two
competing national associations, the
National League of Horseshoe and
Quot Pitchers of St. Petersburg, Fla,
and the National Horseshoe Pitchers
association of which Mr.. Leighton is
president.
The st. Petersburg organization
was formed in February 1919, the
latter group in 1921. Until a perman
ent, unified association is formed
there can be no authoritative stand
ardization of rules, or national tourn-
aments, it is argued.
The question Of the merger will be
settled at the Des Moines meeting.
Chas. Cox of Columbus, Ohio, has
drawn up a new constitution and by
laws for the National organization
incorporating suggestions and ideas
submitted by horseshoe leaders from
different parts of the country.
The following general policies have
been included.
First.-The association to have g

Returning home from more or less
disastrous road trip, the Highlanders
opened their last home stand during
the present series with the league
leading Saints. with five to three
win. That it was a win instead of a
loss is due in no small degree to a
healthy thrccply base wallop, from
the bat of Sam Payne who is cavorting
around in the outfield since the sale
of Stewart to Orlando. Payne has
been on the hospital list since the
early part of the season and is only
now getting in shape to even make the
outficd grade. The loss of Payne's
services during the first half is the
reason that the Saints are spok-
en- of as the winners in that short
session. Had Payne been able to take
his regular turn in the mound the
difference in the win and loss column
of the IIighlanders would have been
more than the few points that separ-
ate them from the Saints.
Block and his crew got away to a
flying start in the first frame, SHOW
ing over counter, which the locals
managed to tie up in the third canto.
Matthews singled over second as a
curtain raiser and took second when
c. Moore drove in the ground in front
of the plate which bounded so high
in the air that Bud Gibson could not
handle it until after all hands were
safe on their respective bricks. Moser
singled past first base on the first Of
fering of Stewart and Matthews
scored. Roser became ambitious and
in trying to stretch the hit to extra
bases was nipped at second base on
a fast relay Pence to HARRISON to
ellison, Moore taking third on the
play. Fence-busting Bigelow ground
ed to ellison and Hugh Bradley flew
out to center. The locals had, in the
meantime, knotted up the score in the
third and forged one run to the good
in the fifth, only to have the Saints
push over a brace in the sixth, which
with the way both pitchers were go
ing looked big enough to win with.
Moore, leading off for the Saints in
the sixth, lined to Payne for cut num-
Der one. Roser hit one to Kowalski
