FIRST GAME.
Dr.. Bailey, the Tigers star
southpaw, who has always been
somewhat of hoodoo TO the Lime
Burners occupied the mound of his
own making for the initial contest.
The big sidewheeler was all to the
merry during the early part of the
game. and up until the ninth in
ming the five hits which they had
secured off his delivery were pretty
well scattered. Then in tlIat ninth
inning after two were gone, n
scratch hit through King started
something, and when followed by
three more gave Marion two runs
and saved them from a shut out.
But one man was passed to first
but this gift counted for naught
as it was quickly turned into a
double play.
Another Sidewheeler was the
Tigers opponent ron the mound.
Doe Blough who has "a reputa-
ton Of blowing up occasionally
was on the firing line for the
Lime Burners. The Tigers found
him for "A total cf eleven bings,
and the majority of them came at a
time when they counted. He gave
four passes, two Of which resulted
in runs, while he also made a wild
pitch which figured in the run get
ting. He managed to send five men
back to the bench ON hitless swings.
1t was when King opened with
Texas Lacquer to right in the
second inning that trouble started
for Blough. Delehanty followed it
up with a double to left which
moved him to third. Then Rey-
nolds planked the first one, Blough
diShed up over Quinn's head for a
bubble and drove in both men
ahead Of him. Riley was passed,
but Bailey and Biery both Whit
fed .,Speas' hit through Mylett
hlled the bases, but Drake failed to
put it in a safe place.
Tibbtits opened the third with
drive to left, and advanced to sec
ond on a wild pitch. King singled
to left, and placed him on third.
King was caught pilfering, and
then Delehanty sent a long fly to
center upon which Tibbitts com
pleted the circuit. Riley opened
the fourth by being walked to
the first corner. A passed ball
helped him to reach second, while
Biery's single to middle put him
on third. A double steal then
sent Riley across the plate.
The Tigers cinched the game by
registering two more in the sixth |
before the rain descended. Dele
hanty was walked and Reynolds !
laid down perfect bunt. Riley !
sacrificed the pair, and then DR..
Bailey drove them both across the
plate with single to left.
1t was in the ninth inning that
the Lime BurneTs scored their only |
runs. Up until that time, but five
bings had been secured off Bailey
and but one man had reached third |
and one had got as far asssecond.
With the first two men up easy outs

which King failed to reach. Far
