18 Aug. 18, Aug. 25 rolled Into Tallahassee at noon today to open a three game series at Centennial field, the home of the Tallahassee Capitals. The two nines wear the uniforms of the University of Florida and Alabama Poly, long noted for producing outstanding diamond teams. Ben demons, a Tallahassee boy, is coach of the Gator nine and has announced that he will send Big Bill Perazzl, star righthander, to the hill this afternoon against the Alabama team.

Ferrazzi is rated as one" of the leading pitchers ever to wear the Orange and I yBlue uniform and following his graduation from the state institution he is expected to continue his baseball career in the big leagues. Other Hurler Jack Bostwick or Jackson, who teamed together Tuesday to hold Millsaps to a 2-2 11 inning tie will toe the slab tomorrow and Pete Pennock will fire them over Saturday. John Paul Tripper, sophomore sensation, probably will get the nod from Coach Dell Morgan this afternoon although no definite announcement has been made to this effect. Governor Dave Sholtz was to throw out the first ball for this afternoon's game and the Leon high school band will be on hand to pep up the game with several musical numbers. Starting Line-ups The probable line-up: 1935 CAMPAIGN Red Sox Hang Up Second Straight Win Over Yankees (By The Associated Press) BY HUGH S.

FULLERTON, JR Boston, the center of baseball interest during the winter, appar ently has no intention of relin quishing the spotlight now that the 1935 season is under way. When the curtain rose Tuesday it was Babe Ruth and the Braves who held the center of the stage Yesterday it was the Red Sox, who indicated in no uncertain terms that they are out to get into the pennant fight as they turned back the New York Yan kees for the second time In succession. Bishop Ties Score Tangling in another mound duel, the Red hose won 4 to 3 in the tenth inning. They had escaped by the slim margin of a ninth-inning homer by Max Bishop. With Charley Ruffing hurling great ball, the Yanks took the lead when they solved Gordon Rhodes' delivery in the seventh, Bishop socked his homer behind a pinch single by Roy Johnson in the ninth to tie the count, 2-2.

Another pinch hitter, old Bing Miller, took over the job in the tenth and drove in the winning runs after a walk and an error by Lou Gehrig had put runners on second and third. Gehrig did his best to atone for the misplay in the last of the tenth, when he belted a homer, but the bases were empty. Others Rained Out The triumph put Boston at the top of the standing as the only team with two victories. Most of the teams which started the campaign Tuesday were kept idle by cold weather or rain although some 45,000 fans attended belated "openers" at Washington and Detroit. With President Roosevelt throwing out the first ball and remaining through the game to bring good luck, Washington's Senators trounced the Athletics 4 to 2 before 21,000 customers.

They scored all their runs in the first two innings before "Sugar" Cain and Bill Dietrich settled down to pitch three-hit ball the rest of the way. Jimmie Foxx produced the only Philadelphia runs with an eighth-inning homer. Champions Defeated Before a crowd of 24,000 the champion Detroit Tigers lost their first game to the rebuilt Chicago White Sox, 7 to 6. Zeke Bonura smacked two doubles and a single. The Cincinnati Reds, who lost their opener, gave the Pirates a taste of their own medicine by moving on to Pittsburgh and taking a 7 to 4 decision before opening day fans.

Paul Derringer was hit freely but Cold weather stopped the New York-Boston, Brooklyn-Philadelphia and St. Louis-Chicago contests in the National league. Cleveland and St. Louis in the American were rained out. The mountains of the world spring up from low furrows in its surface.

The person who can select the starting line-up of the Tallahassee Capitals for their first home game, Wednesday, April 24, will be given a prize of five dollars. Secretary Al Block announced this morning. All any person has to do is to select his starting line, including pitcher and send it to the Contest Editor, Daily Democrat. The proper batting order need not be considered. Closes Next Monday Secretary Block said in case the contest ended in a tie, the names -of those selecting the starting line-up correctly will be placed in a hat and one drawn out.

All line-ups must be in the hands of the Contest Editor by Monday night, April 22. If mailed that night and delivered the following morning they will be considered. Manager Dutch Hoffman now has approximately 25 players on hand, working out each morning from 10 o'clock to noon. Long batting and fielding practices take up most of the two hours' workout. New Players Arrive Two new players arrived yesterday from New Orleans.

They are Lefty France, first baseman and Arnold, outfielder. Both are having their first crack at professional league baseball. Hoffman said this morning his pitching staff is looking better every day and when the season opens next week he believes he will, without a doubt, have the best mound staff in the circuit.
