This morning the Diggers left for
Newark, where they will play for
three days and 1t Is probable that one
or more double headers will be ar
ranged by the Molder management.
Both Marion and Newark are going
good at present and the clashes
should be most interesting. The Mold
ers have copped five straights against
second division clubs, while the Dig
gers have done about as well against
q first division club. Newark has the
advantage inasmuch as II plays at

ana where be wanted them to .

and where he wanted them to.
For the first time this season, the
Diggers defeated Red White. The
big fellow Is the best of the Lnncast-
er throwers and when he is right as
he was yesterday. he is harder to beat
than any in the league.
Three out OF four games from the
iid-anks is not so bad. When the
ianks came here, Marion had lead
of three games. Now the lead has
been increased to five full games, a
Ifine margin at this time of the year
when almost one half Of the scheduled
games hive been played.
II did not bother Farrell mach when
he caught one OF Whites heaves on
the red top,
Lucas was In the game in every
department. He not only pitched great
bal but he fielded perfectly. With
the stick he got two base hit In
two tries and the blow scored the run
that tied up the gnme. The other two
times the pitcher was at the plate
he worked White for passes.
Humphreys made pretty one hand
ed stop of Tate's grounder over sec
ond in the sixth inning and threw the
Digger out at first
The Diggers played four games
with the Lanks and Two with Mans
field on the local bot and won four Of
the six games. There was also sand
wiched in game Saturday morning
at Mansfield which was taken by Ma
rlon, making 1t five out OF the last
seven games that the Diggers have
nailed.
I,arue played a wonderful game at
third yesterdly. He had nine chances
most of them difficult ones and ac-
lcepted each without an error of any
kind. Every one OF his chances was
a grounder on which he threw the
runner out at first. Three times
