SAINTS WIN FROM THE
HICHLANDERS 7 TO 4

Inability to hit when hits meant
runs, loose fielding behind Hicks
good pitching, briefly tells the story
OF a perfectly good ball game lost to
thevisitors from the Sunshine City
by the score OF seven to four. The
visitors started right in to win in the
first frame and showed for a cluster
of three markers on base on balls
a two base wallOp, an error, a field
ers choice and a one ply base blow.
Hicks walked Moore for a starter
and Dean doubled to lett field scoring
Moore. Roser hit one a mile tall to
Jordan who proceeded to drop it and
Dean counted form second. Bigelow
made it one down when his fly to
right field was handled clearly by
Smith Bradley singled to center and
Frenchie Gladu waved the horsehide
goodbye and ROser counted, Bradley
pulling up at second. Stanley hit to
Hicks and Bradley was trapped be-
tween second and third, Stanley leg
ging it to second while the out was
being made Matthews made it three
down when he flew out to Smith in
right field. Things continued like this
for the next two frames, the visitors
being unable to get another runner
over the pan. In the fourth they
annexed another marker, Block, lead
ing off, registered his second hit in
rs many trips to tho plate, only to be
tossed out at second when Hicks got
Ollingers attempted sacrifice. Moore
hit to KOwdlski forcing Ollinger at
second. Moore took second standing
up and missed a stolen base when
Shubert declined to make q play fer
him at second. Shubert let one q
"Lefty's" fast breaking curves get
away from him at this stage of the
game and Moore took third. Dean hit
to McCulloch for what looked like the
final out, however HARRISON dropped
the throw and Moore counted. Roser
ended the inning by grounding to
Kowalski. Hicks retired the visitor in
order in the next frame only to get
into trouble in the sixth. Matthews
opened the inning by sending one
back to Hicks with more speed than
the big boy cared to handle and it
was scored as n hit Lefty" after
several tries for Matthews at first
managed to pick him off for the first
ont. Block. who had only clouted
safely for two times, on in center
the other in the general direction of
right field made it three ont Of as
many tries, this time choosing left
field as the spot in which to let it
fall safely. Ollinger peeled a freak hit
into right field and Block was held
at second. Moore dumped one which
Hicks handled for the first out at
first, the runners moving up sta
ton, Dean, whom fans recall as
former Lakeland player of two seas
ons ago. waded into one of Hicks for
three sacks and the bases lost their
loads. Both MoCulloch and Oliinger
counting. Roser's hest effort was
slow roller to McCulloch fer the final
cut Hicks breeZed along in fine style
until the ninth inning when the vi5i-
tors showed over another one for coed
measure. Dean singled to center, as
a beginner. Roser sacrificed in front
of the plate and Shubert heaved wild
ly past first base. Dean counting. Big
Glow hit to left field and Jordan drew
a generous round OF applause from
the stands when he took it off his
shoe tops, making q mighty pretty
catch. Bradley hit to Kowa;shi who
tossed him out at first. holding RC>-
er on third. Stanley made it three
down when Smith took his fly.
