When Wilson SlaSned u BTouhuei
down toward McClintock in the
eleventh inning of the contest yes
terday afternoon and the ball took
a vicious hop and went over Nc
ClintocS's top piece, ODay came in
from second with the run that gave
Marion the second OF the series.
The count was three and two
Perhaps tl'is second humblinIg OF
the NIolders was a lucky affair and
then again perhaps 1t was not. 1t
should have been won by the Dig
gers earlier i'm the rray. The runs
of the callers were gifts. hut one
count in the came was earned and
that was In the seventh when Burk's
own sashIng double along The left
field line scored Wilson after the
latter had singled and had been
sacrificed
Pearl LaRue would have broken
mp the game in the tenth inning
with the nerviest stunt attempted
this season at the local yard had
not Wolfe fouled off a ball as the
third slcker was steaming in home
and but three feet from the plate.
There were two down at the time
and by sliding LaRue would have
made the base.
Opportunities galore were present.
ed TO the Diggers 10 win during the
natter part of the game but every
thing awaited the stunt of Wilson
when he slammed his course" ball
at McClintock. The pill just shaved
the gingery Macs bean and had IL
connected Newark would have had
another player on the hospital list.
1t was grand struggle and once
again there was but small crowd
on hand to witness 1t. The Diegers
played some pretty baseball and the
Molders we're scarcely outdone in
this respect.
San Burke, a trifle wild at times,
nut more like the Burk OF the early
season, was on the mound and nf-
ter he got accustomed to his sur
roundings. he worked in the best
of form. In eight Of the eleven in
nings the visitors secured safeties
But one was allowed by the HEAVIER
in any frame except the fifth, when
they garnered pair but when the
danger seemed greatest Burk made
n great heave TO Tate and cauIgh
Cupid Pinkney off the pillow, nap
ping. That helped n lot.
Kaler, who was beaten in a hard
luck game here on the last trip was
again mp olZainst his old hoodoo TIE
pitched good ball and allowed the
Diggers but five sateties. In but one
frame did the locals get more thar
one hit. Kaler's support wobbled al
the right time and the Diggers kept
on until they had punctured the de,
fense OF the Molders successfully.
Our friends. the enemy. took thu
lead at the outset. Pinkney wa.
presented with transportation by
Burk. McClintock's hunt put him OF

TO keep the pill nearer TO Pop

Wilson's single, LaRue's sacrifice
and Burk's hard two baser TO lef
gave the Diggers a run in the fifth
Newark pried on the lid in the sixt
when Wolfe fumbled McClintock
