Before good sized crowd OI
loyal fans the Lime burners tool
Manager Patterson's Sharon team
into camp Sunday afternoon a
Webb park by a score Of = to /,
The visiting aggregation was very
fortunate in not being shut ouI
as Al Wilmot who oliiciated on
the rubber for Marion was in rare
J form and had Sharon guessing
! throughout the entire running.
Mr.. Noah, who on several oc.
casions has proven n stumbling
block for Marion, was not the
Noah of days gone bye. He was
as wild as hawk and when he
put them over the Lime Burneta
swatted the horsehido good and
hard. Marion gave one Of the best
exhibitions Of timely hitting yes
, tcrday ever witnessed at Webb
park. For seven innings Noah
walked men and saw them scored
ON timely binglcs and then he
was pulled from the mound and one
| Mr.. Twitchcll substituted. He also
was afflicted with the same trouble
for in the one inning that he olliciat-
ed he gave free pass and allowed
two singles.
Besides the clever pitching of
Wilmot there were some other IN
tcrcNting features connected with
the game. Jimmy Blake, who played
short in the absence OF Mylett ac-
quilted himsyl with credit although
having couple of errors. He
served as pivot in double play
that was corkcr but it was at
the bat that he made things hum.
out of four times up he got four
timely hits. Bill Dtlridgc. in the
ninth, crossed over back of see
ond and picked MP a hot drive off
HilIcy's bat and forced Sellers ut
second. Bobhic Wmsner in tho
sixth knocked down dusts trer,
hit by Blake that kept Burk from
scoring Both were plays Of an
exceptional nature.
For Sharon there was nothing do
ing until the eighth frame. Not a
man had reached second and Will
mot was complete master of the sit
uation. In the eighth, the visitors
scored their only run Of the game.
Collins, first man mp, singled to
center and went to second when
Whsincr's inlield swat went a.
hit Dlubcrt feldcd the ball, but
neither Dithridge or Wilmot could
beat Bob TO the sack. Wilmot tried
TO catch Collins off and Blake's
rubber NIT allowed both men to
move mp peg, Mattison hit lit
tie one in front of the plate and
Smith tagged Collins as he came in.
Then Smith heaved wild one to
second rs Mattison stole and Whis-
ncr shot home.
The Lime Burners won the game
in the third, when three free pass
es' Hilley's two spasms and
runs. Burk wandered and was
caught off first by a pretty throw
from Mattison. Quinn was safe ON
Ililley's boot and took second as
Blake hit 10 center. Bobby stole
third ending up with pretty slide.
Farrell walked and the bases were
filled. Bill Dithridge singled TO
center and both Quinn and Blake
counted. Daubcrt drew base on
balls and wher HiIley iuggled
Flood 5 hot grounder he scooted
in Smith went out Green to Me-
Latferty and rs Wilmot beat out
an infeld hit Daubert scored
Burk then swung three times and
sat down.
Nothing happened until the sixth
when Marion scored Burk on for
wide ones Quinn's pretty sacrifice,
Biake's scorching drive to center
and FarreE's ont, Whisner to
first In the eighth Burls again
counted. He singled to right and
TOOK second when Quinn sacrificed
ont. Twtichell to McLafferty.
Blake again came to the rescue by
depositing his fourth hit Of the
game in left field lust out of the
reach Of Kerr Farrell sent
cloud distuI'ber which fell in the
bread hooks o one Mr.. Collins but
Burk beat the throw in with ease
