With Elmer Brown, the young
Hoosier iinger who has habit
OF being stlngy with the sateties
he allows his opponents was toy
ing with those hard hitting, savage
Lanks. the Dlggers pounded Mock,
the l-anktOwn southside singer all
over the lot and aided by COB
Of boots put on the cleaner . TO
one.
II was sweet revenge for some
of thu beatings that Lancaster had
administered to Marion and the
big crowd yelled and laughed until
a feeling 7kin to pity developed for
the hapsss leaders. Like gang
of schllboys did the B1nks play
but the Dggers kept ON digging un-
I'll they made their admirers think
that oil Of The form of early spring
had returned and that the team Is
sure enough out of the big rut in
which they have been travelling for
countless days.
Led by Buster Brown as he has
bean dubbed, the Marion defense
was all that could be desired. There
was only one clean safety made off
his delivery The other two were
OF the scratch variety. Mock on
the other hand, seemed to be
throwing something that the Dig
gers liked and the way they hand
ed them back did ones heart good.
Only several spectacular catches
kept the Diggers to ten hits Off
Mock an Scanlon who replaced him.
Lancaster only looked formidable
In the .irst frame. Brown let
Brown walk and Freddie Heller
saerlflced. Carter was out from
Parker 10 Tate and then Hnmph-
reys kissed one back into the far
left field cornrr for three sacks
scoring Brown with the first count
OF the game and the only one that
the Lanks had a chqnce to get
Tate gathered in Scanlon's grounder
Dlggers could not make the
PROPER connection in the first frame
bnt something was let loose In the
second. Tate opened the inning by
tanning and Ketter and 0'Day both
walked The bricks all held Dggers
when Wilson raped a hard ONE at
Brown which the little second
seeker fnmbled. Ketter $40 n or
Pop Luskey's single in left and
Buster Brown broke again into the
llmelight by mailing one on the
nose TO center Held scoring O'Day
and Wilson. Parker laced out n
sahsty and the sacks wera again
working overtime. Here the squeeze
was attempted but II failed, Lus-
key being nailed at the pan when
Wolfe dumped the ball. Farrell then
larrnped In, leather close to the
fence In left field 1t was Il high
drive and both Calhoun and Yost
went after II. Over-anxlety caused
them TO collide and .thn sphere fell
to the ground while three Dlggers
crossed the rubber and Farrell
perehed on escond. Hughey Tate
then famed for the second time
In the frame-something that
IHuehey will not do again this
season.
Another cane across In the third
frame and the score was seven to
one. With one down O'Day raped
one along the third base line. When
Calhoun .et the pill go through him
o'Day took second Wilson then
dumped one toward first base and
beat II out at first by great
slide. While Scanlon argued with
the umpire o'Day stole home.
In the fourth round Brown led
OF with another single but was
forced at second by Parker. The
latter stole second and went TO
