Newark, took the final game of the
series before big crowd at Webb
park, Sunday afternoon, by a score
of 5 to s, thereby making it possi-
BILE for them to ieave Diggertown
with an even break. Burk's wild
caused the undoing of the Diggers.
On the other hand Moore baftled
the hard hitters of the local club.
Not until the fifth inning did the
Diggers get a runner on. Then three
hits with a pair of battery errors
netted two runs. Moore allowed the
locals to go just SO far and then he
clamped on the lid, retiring the side
when a hit would have meant one or
more runs.
Burk got into trouble at the start
through an error by LaRue, but he
pulleds through without receiving any
damage. In the third with two down
Pinkney and Murray singled, but Alb
bott failed to bring them in. Locke
singled in the rourth. was sacrificed
could help him to complete the cir
cult. %
The fifth was heart breaker.
williams opened with single and
things frightened up a bit when
Moore failed to sacrifice and bit
fly to Wolfe When Pinkney famed
II looked as though the danger was
past though Williams stole second
at the same time. Had Anderson's
throw been good, Williams would
have been an easy out at second and
all that disastrous after part would
never have occurred. Murray and
Abbott walked and the bricks were
full. Frank Locke's long drive TO
left center scored Williams ana
Murray while Ketter's quick return
held Abbott at third. Locke was
perched on second when the ball
reached the diamond. Both scored
on Smiths single that skinned over
the third sack. Smith pilfered but
was not advanced. 1t all happened
with two out.
The Diggers cams back and opened
ND on Moore in the second half with
one down Ketter singled and went to
second When Wilson hit to Wratten.
LaRue's single scored Ketter. rhe
runner swiped second and when
Moore made wild pitch he COM
pleted the circuit. The ball did not
go a great distance from the plate
and had Moore covered LaRue would
have been held at third. LaRue
pulled off clever base running
stunt and the unexpected caught the
big pitcher asleep. Anderson fol
lowed with safety to left. Burk
struck at three but the third one got
away from Williams and the pitch
er took first while Anderson went to
second. O'Day famed.
In the next the Dlggers added an
other one and had either Ketter or
Wilson been able to deliver blow
the score would have been tied.
Wolfe beat out an infeld hit TO open
the sixth. Crockett failed to sacri-
fice and hit to Murray, forcing Wolfe.
The runner stole second and went 10
third on Tate's hit. He scored on
Ketters roller that almost knocked
AfcClintock down Mac recovered IN
time to get the runner at first. Will
so nlifted to Murray.
In the ninth the callers added an
other one. With one down Murray
walked and went to second On Ap-
bolts out. Locke's hit took MIN 70
third and when ANDERSON threw 10
oDay as Locke was attempting to
steal, Murray stole home.
