King and Others Play Great Ball.

In as pretty a struggle as has
ever been seen ON the local lot
Marion and Newark met for the sec
ond time this season and the result
was another fourteen frame tie.
Full OF sensational playing, marvel
GUS pitching and some rowdy base
ball the contest kept the crowd on
edge until 1t was finally called by
Umpire Hhndiboe on account of the
darkness.
Why the umpire called the game
at the end of the fourteenth is
more than any one is able to un-
derstand. 1t was as light at that
time as 1t was during the twelfth
and II would have been possible
to have played two more innings
before It became too dark. Both
clubs and all of the spectators pro-
tested but to no avail.
AL Wblmot was the selection of
Manager O'Day and after the first
few innings he pitched in magnifi-
cent form. His support except in Il
frame or two was of the best.
Uncle Joe Locke was Wilmot IS
opponent and the old man was there
with the goods. While Wilmot had
a shade on Locke in the duel of
the beavers, Locke's sensational sup
port at critical times evened up mat
ters.
While it was a great contest Il
should have been decided and
Marion should have won. Stupid
playing on one or two occasions
allowed Newark to get her two
runs and then stupid playing kept
Marion from counting the third run
that would have tied the score.
some bunglesome work put Wilmot
In couple of tight places but the
pitcher was equal to the emergency.
On the infield there stands out
pre-eminently the work OF Manager
O'Day and Billy King. Both men
fielded in marvellous style and time
and again they helped Wilmot out
of the tight places by making pret-
ty stops and throws. O'Day had
twelve chances without a boot and
King had six Wilson, Farrell and
Tate played wonderful ball in the
outfield. The Newark outfelders
accepted sixteen chances and many
of them were hard ones.
