Lloyd's Offering Pounded
Hard by Locals
Tigers Play Miserably--Tate Pulls
off Great Stunt Ketter, Anderson
and Wilson In the Spot Light

il was some sweet revenge that the
Diggers secured yesterday afternoon
in return for the very numerous
beatings administered by the Mans
field tribe of late when Lloyd's slants
were slapped to every corner of the
lot. Eight Diggers romped gleeful-
ly over the rubber while but one lone
Tiger passed the third station and
completed the circuit. That lone
count was a gift from start TO 1nish.
San Burk was back i'm old time
form. II has been weeks since Burk
stood upon the hill and pitched in
anything like his real class. But
there was big change yesterday. He
had that drop ball breezing over the
rubber in faultless style and many a
Tiger prepared to eat It up only to
find the elusive bulb taking a timely
turn around his willow. Several
times Burk let loose of that bender
though and heaved it to the stands
but that was early in the fray and he
more than redeemed himself.
On the other side of the wall Lloyd
the best winner among the Mans
field throwers, had a !ot of spit
rfat's about all The Diggers
bounced onto his offering with a
vengeance. I.loyd's support was
pretty punk at times--the Tigers de-
veloping propensity for muifing ily
halls. The msp,ays of the visitors
helped some in the run getting but
the swats of the Diggers came with
such regularity that the outcome OF
the contest was never in doubt after
the first round.
There were some deeds of note in
the game-one sided as It was. Tate
made a great stop OF Nlathays roller
hack of first and recovering the ball
slid headlong into the sack, Deatlhs
the runner there by inches. Lakue
knoc,ed down several that looked
like safe blows and Wilson made
great running catch Of a mighty poke
nv Channeu. Mathay carried OF the
aa,aing honors for the visitors by
going back TO the score board ana
gathering in Hugh Tates terrific
emash that would have cleared the
wall had it not been for a strong wind
that was holding the pill back.
NIons6eld was present with one IN
the onening round. ODay went az

INC n collision with Wilson he drop
ned Il. Burks wild pitch let Nee
han get 10 second and Biery au-
yanced him TO third with sacrihce.
A second wild sling on the part OF
Rurk let Meehan complete the CIR
cult. -
From then until the sixth when
Ketter pulled off a great play Mans
field did not even come ciose 10 SCOT
ing. In that round Wolfe's error
LEI Meehan get on and Wild heaye
sent him to second. He advanced TO
third on Biery's out Mathay lited
n long one 10 Ketter in the middle
nasture and the Digger by a magnih-
cent throw nailed Meehan at the
plate when he tried TO score on the
nut out. There was nothing to IL
after that. In all but three hits, two
clean singles and an inheld scratch
were the total garnered of Burk.
by way of evening things up, the
Tigers also presented the Diggers one
in the first. Wolfe walked stole sec
ond kept on moving 20 third when
Harmon threw over Davy's head.
OiDay's fly to Meehan allowed Wolfe
to complete the circuit. In the next
the Diggers took the lead Channell

after a high fly ana then dropped IT,
Ketter being held at first, Wilson
laid down bunt but both Biery and
Lloyd did an Alphonse and CASTOR
act while Wilson reached first in
safety and Ketter rested on second
laRue's sacrifice advanced the pair
and Iyuskey's fly to Aleehan was long
enough to allow Ketter to score.
TWO more were added by the Dig
gers in the fourth. With one down
Ketter walked and swiped second
Wilson also found Lloyd generous.
Iarue forced Ketter at third and
singles by Luskey and Burk sent
Wilson and Larue across the pan.
Anderson went out from Flood ia

measure the home team added three
more IN the eighth. Ketter doubled

squeezed Ketter in, going out from

stole second. Luskey flied out "a
