League Series Inability to hit the ball at op- {portune times and poor umpiring cost the locals the game yesterday on the hcme grounds, wnen they were defeated by Fort Meade by the_ score of three to one. An hour or 80 before the game it started to rain and all through the game there was a slight drizzle. At three thirty Mayor Eaton took his place in the pitcher's box, poised like a big leaguer and put the pill right over the plate for a strike and the South Florida series for the championship had begun. Both Alvarez for the locals and Beck for the visitors twirled good ball considering the kind 'of day it was. Beck had the better of the argument in the strike- out line, punching ten mer to Al- varez's five, but he walked four men and hit threce. Beck kept the hits well scattered, while Alvarez was not quite so fortunate. It may have been the dark day, it might have been the rain, that was the cause or Moore’s poor umpiring, but what- ever it was, let us hope it will go no further. It was as poor an ex- hibition of umpiring as we have seen here, and had it not been for his decisions in two places the game would have gone lLakeland- wards. The score by innings: First Inning For Fort Meade--Fries got to first on pitcher’'s error, Rive sacrificed, Beck and Dix out at first. For Lakeland—Brazier flied to left, Ginter walked and was out go- ing to second, Van out at first. No, runs. Second Inning For Fort Meade—W. Brown got a two bagger, Brach sacrificed, H.
