PAGE FOUR TENNIS GOLF TRACK LAKELAND WINS FROM ST. PETE The Highlanders romped home on the long end of a seven to two count at the local ball partk Saturday after noon, evening up the series with the boys from the Sunshine City, getting a drawn decision in the first start and being nosed out in the second. A young forkhanded pitcher by the name of Dick Smythe, late of Colum bia and YVilliston, S. C., was largely responsible for the game getting on winning side of the ledger. Smythe had uncanny control, a fast ball that had the heavy hitters from St. Peters burg guessing and a hook ball that had even the umpire begging for a change of pace. In the winning of the afternoons classic the said Mr. Smythe was materially aided by com rades Jordan, Harbison, Stewart, Smith and Ery, who delivered them selves of extra base wallops at a time that was most opportune, their trusty war clubs accounting for the six large juicy markers annexed by the locals in the fifth when they de cided to salt the old baseball game away. Smythe started out by hand ing out a brand of fork handed pitch ing that the visitors were only able to solve for one safe blow in the first six Innings of the game, that being a clean base hit into the territory pre sided over by Gladu —who besides the best centerffelder in the league is a literary genius of no mean ability. The visitors laid down an attack in the last three frames that had the locals worried for the very good reason that the crew of George Block are never beaten until the last man is out. The locals started after Wilson in the first frame, it being the same Wil son who started Thursday's game and had him as well as Manager Block looking considerably worried. Gladu dumped pne along the third base line j and some fast fielding by Stanley: made it a first out. Jordan poled onej over Roser’s head in left for two sacks and took third while Stanley j was throwing out Harbison at first.! Bonnie Stewart who was hitting ’em j hard and often handcuffed Stanley at [ third base and Jordan Checked in at the pay station. Smith took one of; Wilson’s fast ones on his left elbow j and with two on the stands began ] hollering at Ery to clean house. “Bugs” caused Mr. Roser to get into j high and it was only after a hard run and a pretty catch that the side was ; retired. Wilson tightened up con- j siderably and it began to look like the stands would be treated to a real ’ pitchers battle, as the best the locals ( could do was to go down in order un til the ffith. That fifth inning is i an entirely different story for it saw a ball game untied and safely tuck ed away on the win side of the led- \ ger. Kowalski poked one in the general direction of Dean at second base for the visitors, and beat it out for a base blow handily. McCulloch advanced the second sacker one station and Smythe made it two down when his best effort was a tall fly to Roser in left. Just at this stage of the game Dean became the best player Lake land had and gave Giadu a lift at first when he booted his grounder Jordan delivered one to left field that counted Kowalski. Harbison opened up a barrage of extra base wallops by doubling to left field and Gladu and Jordan counted. Stewart saw the boss’ ante and duplicated, mak ing his take the other side of the lot. Smith saw them both and rais ed them one sack. it being over Moore’s head in center. Harbison and Stewart counted. "Bugs” Ery stayed in and was beat in the draw, his hit only being for two bases. Smith count J ing. Kowalski ended the inning bvj grounding out to the box. It looked i bad for the visitors in the seventh i when Jordan, first man up, singled j into center. Harbison skied out to! the catcher. Stewart lined one be- 1 tween third and short that had extra ! bases written all over it, only to have j Stanley take it in and double Jordan j off first base. In the eighth the; locals threatened when Smith poled | nut his second three base wallop. Ery j look the third strike down the middle; and Powalski put on the squeeze play. The only thing the matter with the play was that Kowalski missed the ball and Smith was caught flatfooted. Kowalski ended the inning by fanning And thus ended the locals scoring for the afternoon. The visitors, who had been handi capped with a Highlander lead of one run evened up the count, in the fourth inning, after two were down. Dean first man up, flew out to center and Smythe threw three hooksat Roser for a strike out. Bigelow drew the only base on balls issued during the afternoon and scored a few seconds later when Stewart threw Bradleys easy chance under the cars parked be yond the first base foul lines, just here is where a near argument oc curred, Harbison claiming that the runner should be sent back to third for the reason that he had not passed second at the time of the play and was therefore under ground rules, on ly entitled to one base on the over throw. Lohr who was caling them behind the plate ruled otherwise and the run counted. Stanley stopped th?< scoring by hitting to Kowuisk: at ‘second. ;; The visitors threatened in' the sevqnfh when Bradley singled to right fieWi?
