Plays at Springfield.

In a game that Marion had every
claim to, Lancaster took advantage
OF the Digger misylays and piled up
enough to win to 3--the contest be-
ing the last of the home series.
Marion outplayed Lancaster at every
stage except that Burk was not in
his usual form ana Red White, who
worked for Lancaster, never pitched
better ball. Even at that Marion
should have won. When with the
score three to one in the fifth, Wolfe
made a bad error on Heller's ground
er and let two runs in. Then the
Lanks got another one in the seventh.
Though lancaster had six misplays
charged against them and Marion
only two, the two made by the home
boys hurt more than did the six of
the callers. 1t was tough luck and
that's all, and II was the first time
Sanford Burk has tasted of defe1t
this season. His other four attempts
ended in victories.
Brown for the Lanks opened up by
drawing a gift. Heller sacrificed and
Carter sent Heller to third on his out
from O'Day to Ketter. Humphrey
WIS the right man in the right place
for Lancaster and his three sacker
to the left field corner scored Brown.
Marion then tied up the score with
an earned run. Farrell put a baser
In right center and Wolfe advanced
him notch. King was out from
Humphrey to Gowdy and Tate damned
o lovely larrup into center, scoring
Farrell. O'Day lifted to Carter.
In the third Burk walked and went
to second on an error of Piper's
when Red Farrell beat otu his bunt.
Burk kept on going and counted when
Brown threw over Heller's head at
third. Farrell took second on the
play. Here with a hit needed Wolfe
tanned and King lined to Brown, dou-
bling Farrel at second.
In the fourth there came Marlon's
third and last run. Tate led off with
a single and made the natives sit IN
and take notice when he pilfered sec
ond. ODays sacrifice sent him to
third and when Ketter flied TO Carter.
that player's wild high heave to the
plate let Tate come in. Wilson lifted
10 Heller.
Here the Lanks tied the score. Pip
er led off with a safety in center and
White stopped one with his ribs.
Brown sacrificed. The decision at first
VUa al 81 a,
one handed catch OF a rather wide
throw from Burk. With runners on
second and third, Heller hit ground
er at Wolfe who let Il go through him
to the outfield while both counted
Heller took second on the play and
went to third when Burk fumbled
Carriers bunt. Humphrey hit 10
Wolfe and Heller was caught at the
plate. Burk then knocked down
Cslhounis hard drive and ODay,
gathering the pellet up, quickly nailed
the runner at first.
The winning run for the visitors
came in the seventh. With White
safely put to sleep, Brown rolled
slow one toward ODay and beat the
ball TO first by inches. Heller got
pass and Carter's single TO left
scored Brown. Humphreys raised one
TO Farrell and Calhoun wIacked at
the air. A timely hit would have
tied the score or a good drive might
have won the game for the Dlggers
In the last inning. After Yost had
captured ODay's long drive, Ketter
got on through Gowdy's error. Wilson
hit one at Humphreys who had his
