Like last year Mansfield retaliat-
I'd for Marion victory In the morn
Ing game OF the Fourth by taking
The afternoon contest. Like last year
a home run gave Marion the MORN
ing contest while excellent twirling
gave Mansfield the afternoon game.
Luskey got the homer last year and
l.aRue this year.
But the contest lost by Marion 10
Mansfield saturday afternoon was
Tar preitier one than that which
Marion lost TO Mansfield year ago
IL Is an honor to win one TO moth
ing game in the ohio state league
but hardly less is the honor that Is
due the losers In such strife.
Twenty-Five hundred fans filled
all of the stands and overilOwed
onto the field to witness one OF the
prettiest battles that has been
fought between Marion and Mans
field this year. Replete in brilliant
playing every inning was thriller
and time and again the crowd arose
EN- masse and cheered some Digger,
some Tigers or either team as q
whole Tor feats of note. The hero
column In that game is running
over. ut

thy happenings that wonderful grab
of terrific clout from Channell's
bat by "Pinkie" Farrell The middle
gardener ran FAR out toward the
center field corner OF the yard and
holding out his right hand to keep
from cracking into the fence he
reached up his gloved mitt, turned
|it to the ball-and--and SPEAiRfID
1T The speedy lad crashed into the
fence before he could stop. It rob-
bed the Mansfield slugger OF at least
n three base hit and maybe homer.
Then Jimmie Ketter also broke into
the lime light. His grab of a liner
t;tm Lotshaw's bat for which he
had to leap In the air after making
u hard run was a pretty piece OF
work. Ketter's best stunt was a
wonderful stop OF Lucas groundeI
back OF second which he handled
llkt lightning beating the pitcher
to first by inches. Burke, the Mans
fleld center gardener had to doff his
cap when he made pretty catch
OF San Burk's long fly 90 middle,
and though he turned a complete
somersault he held the marble.
O'Day, Luskey and Lotshaw also
broke into the spot light at various
times by pretty plays.
1t was evident soon after the
start of the fray that the hit germ
had not been injected into the new
lwhite uniforms of the lads whom
ebay Is chaperoning. Smashes such
as have broken mp many of the
games In which the Diegers have
participated were plentiful but there
was always some Tiger with the
open jaws to swallow the Leather
or else to grab II and destroy the
Diggers chances with circus catch
Lloyd, the moist ball HEAVIER, once
more tried conclusions with the
league leaders and for the first time
this season he succeeded In hanging
IL on them and In holding those
mighty sluggers down to three safe
ties. The effectiveness OF Lloyd
however, looks better in the score
than 1t did at Webb park To hil
great support and the fact that som,
OF those terrific clouts OF the Mar
lonites went directly into the hands
OF Tiger, the Tiger twirler owel
his victory.
Jimmy Lucas was the Mariol
thrower and the little fellow work
ed In great form. He had the Tiger
guessing all OF the time and only II
lone frame did they bunch their hits
! ucas too, received great suppor
but in both the offense and defens
Ihe was the king pin. Seven safe
ftles in all were secured off his de
livery but only In. the one franz
could the Tigers count II is tn
seoond time that Mansfield has en-
compassed the defeat OF Lucas with
In week and in both games Jim
mie has pitched the kind OF base
ball that will win nine out OF tel
games. But the Tigers are due b
Twin some time. The Diggers hay
won seventeen out OF the last TWEEN
ty games. All three OF the game
lost have been won by MANSFIELD
and while the Tigers were takin
those three Marion took eight fror
them.
II was the lucky seventh 70
