fourth opened up the way Tor a
grand slugging match which when
finished had given Marion the game
| by score OF six to two. Zeke's
wObble, the only one made by the
Lancaster push also gave Candy
John and his well organized band
Of rooters plenty OF opportunity to
spread themselves and not a bet
was overlooked
IT looked rather hazy Tor the Dig
gers al the start. Apparently Brown
was not going right and the callers
were inclined to slam his offerings
at every opportunity. Though Ian
caster got a lot OF hits they counted
Tor but little and only twice could
| they cross the rubber. In only one
| frame did the callers fail to get a
safety of the Marionite but several
were OF the fluke order and batters
who followed could do nothing.
Toward the close Brown worked
much nearer his usual form.
"Uncle Joe" Locke. the former
Molder was on the hill for Lancas-
ter. Had Reynolds caught Ander-
sons smash Locke would have blank
ed the Diggers as in every other
frame he held them safe But given
the opportunity to do something in
the fourth the Dlggers ammed
Locke's heaves to every part of the
lot.
1t had been intended by the local
management to play double head
er with Lancaster yesterday bur
Manager Fox claimed that Lancaster
had no games TO play off with the
Digsefs. Investigation failed to find
a postponed game that had not been
played off and therefore but one
game was played as Fox would not
advance n game on the schedule.

Though the times were numerous
during the remainder OF the game
