REGULARS LOOK GOOD

Much to the delight of about 1900
fans, about one-fourth of whom were
outside of the fences at Webb park,
the Regulars worked in great style
yesterday Afternoon and sent the Colts
down to defeat by a score of 10 to
I3
The baseball displayed by the reg
ulars was very satisfactory, consid-
ering the few workouts that the men
dict of Marion fandom that the team
as it will line up on opening day is
far stronger than was the team that
started last year.
II did one good to see the Regulars
get to the shoots of the opposing fling
ers and clout the ball around the
lot. On the defensive the work of
the regular men was excellent and
many pretty fielding stunts were
pulled off.
Burk started out for the veterans and
Downey, the giant southpaw, assayed
to fling some for the aspiring
youngsters. For the first two
much with his delivery, and in truth
they didn't do much with his bend
ers at any time. A single by ODay
and double by Lotshaw, coupled
with a COB of boots by the team be-
hind him allowed the old heads to
get runs in the third.
Wllmot replaced Downey in the
fifth and an infield hit and an error
brought tn another run. In the
next, the sluggers got to Wilmot,
Farrell opened with a single to right.
The hit would have been good for two
bases had not the auburn haired lad
fallen as he reached first base. O'Day
and Farrell scampered to third.
When the manager started for second,
Tate raped one against the center
field fence for three bases, scoring
.O'Day and Farrell. Lotshaw's single
to right scored Tate, but when King
hit to Lucas. he and Tate were
doubled. Wilson walked but An
dersOn was easy and the side was re-
tired The Regulars got tally in
the next without the aid OF safety
and in the eighth Lucas replaced
Wilmot. King singled to right and
went TO third, when Wilson landed
safe at first on Lucas error. Ander-
son bounded to short and King was
.nipped at the rubber. Mooter flied otu
to center. Wolfe walked. Farrell
doubled ana ODay singled, scoring
two runs. An error let the manager
get home.
In the second, Ketter opened for
the Colts by singing to right and
donaldson struck out. When Will
mot drove one at Wolfe, the speedy
shortstop handled it fast and with
the aid of O'Day at second and Lot
shaw at first pulled of double.
The youngsters got their first in
the fifth. Donaldson singled to left
and Wilmot drove one through Moot
err who had replaced Burk in the
box. Two outs helped Donaldson to
cross teh plan and Quinn made the
third out. The youngsters made two
more In the sixth, Gillis singled
and went to third when Wolfe FUN
bled Fogartys grounder. Ketter was
safe when NIooter fumbled his easy
one and the sacks were full. Two
runs came in when Donaldson singled
to left. Wilmot flied to left and
when Farrell grabbed Blltz's fly in
center after hard run. Ketter was
doubled
