LAKELAND TOOK FAST
E FRO Tt
In the best contest of the season,
BEST in more ways than one, the
Lakeland team shut out the fast
Ybor city team in a grand ten inning
battle, on the home grounds yester
day afternoon. It was the kind of
a day made for ball games, no signs
of rain, a cool breeze blowing and
seven hundred fans anxiously await
ing the "play ball." As usual the
RED BIRDS came prepared to win,
and on the other band the local boys
were just sure they were going to
walk away with the second game of
the series. They had only tasted
defeat once out of seventeen games
and these same RED BIRDS had
been their conquerors. Alvarez, the
fast West Tampa pitcher, was picked
to do the hurling for Ybor. For
the benefit of those who do not re
member, this same gentleman was
in the box against us when we
played Dade City in that town. Gil
lespie, the old reliable, was given
the honor of serving up the dinner
to the Ybor aggregation and he had
'em "eating out of his hands." It
was a pitchers' battle all the way,
both hurlers using a grand article
of ball. Alvarez had a little the
best of the strike out proposition,
fanning eleven to Gillespie's nine,
but he walked three men while Gil
lespie waked none. The big feature
of the game was the cut in the er
ror column, only one mishap being
made and that by Ginter. whose
heavy hitting made up for a dozen
errors. The Ybor boys wanted to
stay over and play today, but it
could not be arranged.

GADSDEN COUNTY
CLAIMS THE BANNER
Quincy, July 29. 'Now that the
excitement of marketing this sea
son's tobacco crop is over, and the
buyers have had time to figure up
thHr holdings, a careful lestimate
has been made of the value of the
crop. Basing the price of shaded
tobacco at prices paid to the farmer,
and sun tobacco at an average of
18 cents and the expense of handling
and packing, the crop this season
will bring into this county at least
$3,000,000.
This tobacco crop alono would al
most make Gadsden county the ban
ner county in the State, but add to
this the greatest oat crop that was
ever produced in this section; by far
the greatest corn crop, the yield be-
ing three times as great as It was
,,,, t three years ago; the cotton
crop, while not as large as in years
past, but. large enough to be quito
a consideration, and the cano crop,
which is said to be the farmer's
money crop, and certainly no one
can deny that the agricultural pro
ducts in Gadsden county this year
an; worth more than that or any
ounty in the State.
