Endin in one of the worst fights
that has ever occurred on local
ballyard the D!ggers were trim
mod for the first time at Webb
park by score of to 2, Lancaster
being on the big end. The ending
OF the contest Is sincerely regretted
by the management, the fans and
the players.
Outside of the trouble which oc-
Cured the contest was a pretty
one to watch and the many pret-
ty plays were loudly applaudcd by
the large crowd. Walter Justus,
the star Finger of the Lanks was
ON the firing line for the callers
and he had 1t on the slugging
Disgers in every way. Whenever
the home boys got a runner on
In position to score there was little
chance of getting the necessary
bingle.
Big Lloyd Downey went in for
the locals and while he had plenty
of speed his curved ball was not
breaking as well as usual. There
WAS nothing doing, however, until
the fourth when Heller singled
sharply to left. Lotshaw captured
Carter's high one and Heller went
to second when Humphrey ground
ed to Wolfe and went out at first.
Calhoun sent high bounder out
over second base that neither
Wolfe nor O'Day could reach and
Heller scored. That one tally look
ed pretty large about that time.
With two out in the sixth Carter
the hard hitting right fielder OF
the Lanks, 'Jotshawed" the ball
sailing far over the right field
fence and the score was two to
nothing. Fox had replaced Downey
In the fifth and this awful clout
was the first safety off his deliv-
cry.
In the next the two runs Sc
cured by Lancaster were pure
gifts Calhoun led off with q
pretty double TO center. Gowdy
then lifted a sky scraper to left
with which Tate and Wolfe did the
Alphonse and CASTOR act while the
ball fell between them. 1t should
have been an easy out but instead
1t was scored as two bagger and
Calhoun took third. Then the
squeeze was attempted and Fox
threw to the plate to get Calhoun.
Had the ball not struck the run
ner he would have been out but
when 1t glanced off to the stands,
two came over.
In the next frame Heller led
off with baser and went to
third on Carter's dandy two base
clout that hit the lumber in right
center. When Humphrey hit to
Wolfe, Heller was caught at the
plate. Fox was then master of the
situation and kept the Lanks
from scoring
In the first two squares Marion
was easy for the Danks. Wilson
opened up with drive over the
third sack for q base and Ketter
followed with a sinle to left
Downey went out trying to hunt
Here that fake hunt and double
steal was tried with Farrell at the
plate but IL was blocked for the
first time this season when Will
son was nailed at third by mar.
row margin, Farrell whitfield
O'Day drove a safety into left in
the fifth and Iotshaw sacrificed
neatly. On Wilson's grounder to
Gowdy the manager went TO third.
Fearing Ketter, Justus walked him
and Fox was easy from Heller TO
first.
When Humphrey made wild
throw after coping Lotshaw's
grounder In the seventh the latter
went to second. Ketter's double
scored him. Then came the tight
