The game vas fast and snappy from the ime the umpire called "play )all" until the last man was >ut at tb& end of the seventh nning, when the game was ailed so that the Lake City >oys could catch the six o'clock rain. The seven innings conumed about an hour and tifteen ninutes. The two teams were )retty evenly matched and the fame was a splendid exhibition, learly every run being made on :lean hits. Lake City took a imall balloon ascension in the second inning, letting in two uns, but turned around in the ourth and pounced on Gilland vith the net result of two runs. The first run was made by Xingstree in the first inning, ind that with the two made in :he second concluded the run rettine" for the home team. -<ake City made her first run in he third and tied the knot in he fourth and it stayed tied.
