Louisville’s Colonels displayed their real class in yesterday's game | Athletics. with the Athletics, and after eight Murphy, 2b .... and a half innings of the fastest| Walsh, cf ... baseball ever seen in Lakeland, the Kentuckians were the victors by the score of 1 to 0, which is drawing the finish as close as it can be made on the diamond. Not one of the Athletics got far- ther than second base during the Bressler, rf . argument. Only two of them reached Myers, p Two sharp Wyckoff, p ..... double plays,, started by Eddie Mil - xBostwick the midway station. ler, with Claude Derrick as the piv. ot, stopped the Philadelphians when they seemed to have a chance to do business in the scoring line. ‘The Louisville flingers were in excellent trim. Willie Taylor, Jim Middleton and Bill Ellis each worked three innings, the first two allowing two hits apiece, and Ellis permitting one safe blow, scored by Schang, the first man to face him in the seventh. Myers, the ‘‘rookie,”” who started proceedings for the visitors, permit . ted four hits to be combed off his delivery, and one run. Weldon Wyckoff pitclied the last four in- nings for the Athletics, and did not vield a single safety. Louisville got the only run of the game in the second inning. Stans- bury, first man up, singled cleanly to left. He took second when Wein. berg grounded out to Mcinnes. Crossin drove a safe liner to right, and Stansbury crossed the plate. i Bressler, who was playing right field, as Bostick, was injured in practice, and Murphy had to come in to play second, made a sharp throw to the plate, and McAvoy re- layed the ball to Crane in time to retire Crossin on a close play at second . ‘It was really midsummer ball of the highest type. Myers and Tay- lor each gave one base on balls, which were the only passes issued 'in the game. Myers hit both Daniels "and Miller in the first inning, after | which he settled down. In the eixth inning Thompeon, the Athletics’ left flelder, retired the All members of Lodze No. 2, 1. 0. Orlando, Lakeland, Tampa and St. 'side by three good running catches. Only three flies were batted to the outfield by the Athletics. Derrick accepted seven chances at shortstop, and Crane accepted six, the flelding throughout being devoid of even a semblance of an error. The Colonels were the more alert on the bases, Miller, Daniels and Derrick each stealing ‘one cushion. Daniels showed the fans the famous “hook slide,” employed by Ty Cobd and other stars of the game. The lad Miller also seems to be a real star on the bases. and Deorrick i keeping pace with him. It appears at this time that the Colonels have been fortunate in securing a crack- erjack combination around the key. stone station in Miller and Derrick. i | GAME YESTERDAY; 1 10 0| ! i will work three innings. of yesterday’'s game: ABR Summary Mclnnes, 1b .
