BULLDOGS TAKE
PRETTY CONTEST
FROM FLORIDA
Howard Puts Over A TO 8
Victory In Eighth
Inning

The Howard Bulldogs, after taking
slow game from thk University Of Flor
ida on Monday, came from behind
Tuesday and handed the Gators another
defeat. The game was entirely diff
ferent from the first game with the
Floridians, being featured by good field
ing and fast playing by both teams.
fsains and H. Porter opposed each other
on the mound and with the exception
OF bad inning for Porter the game
was a battle between the pitchers all
thesway through. The final score was
4 to 8.
Florida started off in the first inning
by, scorins one run and It looked as If
the Bulldogs were In for q hard days
work when the Bulldogs missed
chance to score after Polly Scokel had
registered a nice two-base hit. However,
the Cope squad sent the Floridanss down
in short order In the second inning and
It began to look as IL the, fans were
going to be treated to a real game.
The Bulldogs came back In their half
Of the second and made matters even
by making one run. The Florida nine
made another run in the third and held
the lead until the fifth when the Bull
dogs made another run. The game
rocked along even, with both teams
showing a good brand of ball until the
seventh inning, when the Gators got
next to Baines and scored another run.
The Bulldogs came back In their half
of the seventh and were sent back to
the field in a hurry by Porter, who
seemed to have everything his own way.
However, after the Howardites had re-
tired the Gators In the eighth the Cope
men got busy and made the runs that
won the game.
Bo Brindley, the first man at the bat
in this inning, made a nice double when
he noled out long fly to left field,
ALT Bains, the next man UP, also made
q double and Brindleys scored, tieing
the game, White and Shelton went out
on inaaela taps and it-iook edsasA though
the Acore would remain tied. Then
came@sFreAcher HyAe andeuSnAAnb ana
other double, which scored Bains. The
visitors then retired the Howardites and
failed to score In their half Of the
ninth inning.
Afford Bains was the outstanding
man ipAaahe Bulldog Victory. He not
only made thfee of the Four sHowaEd
runs but he also had perfect day in
fashion. Snake Bains, who did the
hurting for the locals, also had a good
day, doing nice work In the box. Mickey
did not have such a good day with
the bat but he showed worlds of stuff
In the field and made the prettiest catch
Of the game when he made a circus
