THE MARION DAIl
pire Hart who missed some strikes
on AL Wilmot The players claimed
that Hart was trying to look good
and get along without any trouble
ith President Quinn in the stand.
on the other ihand the Mansfield
players objected to some of his de-
cisions, claiming that he would not
gve them any close ones as the
president might think that he is a
"home" umpire. On the whole
Hart's work was satisfactory.
President Quinn announced last
night that he will be in Marion
thursday and will attend the Marion
Lima game at Webb park.
President Quinn attended the
games and was well pleased with
the article of ball played.
The Mansfield park is hard one
to become accustomed to and there
is little wonder that visiting teams
have trouble winning there. The
stands are very close to the plate
and the base lines and back of sec
ond base there Is a big slope. At
times all onN could see out there
was Pinkie Farrel's top piece.
Luskey had his batting eye with
him yesterday and batted with per-
feet average In both contests. In
| the first he secured two hits In
as many times up and three in the
second.
| Farrell had perfect batting aver
.age i'm the second gama. Three hits
in three tries is his record.
| Tate continued to slug the ball
yesterday getting three safe ones
in The two gaTes. IIughey has been
hitting at trTifc clip during
the trip.
1t Is a remarkable trip that the
Diggers have just completed. Invad-
ing Lima they copped three stra.ghts
from the Cigarmakers and then won
1.-TWO out of four and tied one with
Mansfield, making five victories and
tcne tied game ont of eight on the
road. The batting of the team has
been wonderful on the road and
in the eight gamrs many pitchers
were given their bumps.
Lima arrived here today deter
mined TO make valiant fight for
| the first game of the series with
the DieIyeus Linke, the former
Newark southpaw, will probably
work for the visitors while Burk
will be on the hill for the Diggers.
After playing here for three days
with Lima, the Diggers take the
1
Newark and Lancaster. There will
be one doubleheader in each series
on the road.
Newark goes to Mansfield today
and the two will fight it out for
the last place.
| Manager O'Day has asked Welch,
a southpaw from Ashland and Beat
ty who pitched a few games for
youngstown last year TO come here.
There is a possibility that one of
the pain will be signed for tenn
porary duty at least. Manager
lODay nEeds a good pitcher and
is determined to land one who will
be used until the majority of the
ldouble headers have been played.
Mansfield players we1r given
Iplenty OF entertainment about the
Southern hotel and at the station
last night by the Diggers who are

Imganized the pitchers quartette,
Wilmot, Burk, Fox and himself and
made big hit with their every
effort until ''Chewie" Tate butted
in and organized the "sand pile
-four. The four consisted of Wolfe,
IIotshaw, Tate and Wilson. But Tate
thought that Wilson needed a file,
he said, so he induced Wilmot TO
jump from the pitchers quartette
no the Sand Pile Four which Lucas
Immediately named the "Outlaws. .
Now Tate and Wilmot are In bad
with the three pitchers who have
formed "a trio to give concerts. The
way the pitchers will get even with
Tate and his musical four is to
let the batters crack them hard
and often into left field and run
him to death.
There is no denying it that the
Tate Musical Four sings Monkeyland
