Mansfield, o., July 31.-One thing
| certain Marion isn't going to capture
that pennant from the Lanks at our
| expense. Not that we have any
| special desire to see E'ox's men walk
OF with the coveted rag, but just for
| the sake Of lifting ourselves into that
prise into a fair percentage of the
our sympathies for any club to stand
| in the way and we are going into
| every game to win. At least that is
the conclusion that one arrives at
after having watched the Tigers per-
form in these last two games against
our old hoodoo, Marion.
The Tigers threw a distinct sur
prise int oa fair percentage of the
local fans when they took the first
game OF the series from the Diggers
] by the lop sided score of 7 to 3, but
there can be no question right now
as to which club is playing the better
ball at this time. Fifteen runs and
! twenty eight hits against six runs and
thirteen hits should influence one to
arrive at that conclusion without very
much difficulty
The Tigers wen the game yester-
day by repeating the system of ball
that resulted so favorably the day
previous. They saved their hits un-
til there was man on base and then
they hit In the first game we were
up against the best pitcher that the
visitors could show. Yesterday we
were pitteG against the second best
and we treated him in the same inn
partial mnnner that we had used to-
ward Brown in the opening game. 1t
took the locals a little longer to get
to him but when they did they made
up for any loss Of time. Brown got
away good after the fourth inning In
Wednesdays game and had all Of his
trouble in the first four innings while
Wilmot was in trouble from the fourth
on.
The Tigers played good ball and
this fact, coupled with Lloyd's ef-
rectiye pitching enabled them TO walk
away with the contest. Harry was
in good form although me was trifle
wild, forcing over a run in the ninth
with a pass when all three sacks were
occupied. That one run that we
amassed in the opening session looked
big enough to win the game during
the earlier stages of the contest as
both Lloyd and Wilmot were going
good. but with one down in the fifth
Big Al cut his shoe strings and there
WAS nothing to it after that but see
ing how badly we would defeat the
fallen Diggers.
Marion went into the game with a
changed line up. In practice just be-
fore the game, Wilson tried to stop a
fly ball with the third finger OF his
left h1nd, with the result that the
bone came through the skin at the
second Joint. 1t is uncertain just how
long he will be out of the game.
Ketter was switched from right to
left and Anderson %as sent TO right.
Charles Luskey who has been under
suspension for some time, for failure
TO remain in condition and who re-
ported here Tuesday got back behind
the bat again and caught a good
game. Craig replaced Lucas at second
and showed up nicely.
Lloyd pitched a beautiful game up
until the eighth and then he eased up
a trifle as we had what appeared to
be a safe lead He was a little wi'd
in the earlier innings and his lack
of control got him into trouble in the
last mining. He pitched hlmseil
out OF a bad hole in the sixth when
Farrell led off with double and
reached third with one down, but
Lloyd struck out Lotshaw and Craig
went out Bewell to first. The visitors
only made two bits, both doubles. up

had reached third IN that time. lie
only famed two OF the out OF town

BILE
Big Al Wllmot pitched good ball
until the fifth but weakened in that
inning. we had only made one hit
off him up until that time, a single
by Mathay in the first that scored our
first run. He was hit hard but not
safely in the first four innings and
after that the locals began TO place
their hits better.
In the first inning, Jewell was
passed. was sacrificed to second and
scored on Mathay's single. In the
fifth with ONE Flood was passed
and Breymaier was hit. Lloyd scored
Tim Sith a clean single and Hezzy
came in on Jewels safe one. Lloyd
scored on Meehan's single Three
consecutive hits all between third and
short. Jewell was caught when he
