homeward. The crowd condomned
Mogan who was coaching for allow
ing Behringer to go in as they play
was behind the runner and he had
no chance to score. Mogan, though,
told him to stop, but instead should
have been in the way and prevented
Behringer from making tho try
Diggers had another excellent
chance in the fourth when Farrell
doubled to left field corner. Reilly
was passed and Willoughby put up
n foul for Williams. Hancock forced
willoughby at second. Farrell making
third. The pitcher then swipcd sec
ond but Carter hooked in Behringer's
long fly.
Hancock Pinch King.
But all these innings while the
Diggers were apparently making a
HOPELESS try at closing up the gap on
the score board, there was a Digger
who was heaving in clever style and
stopping the Lanks from piling up
the score and making the game a
farce. Hancock was mighty in the
pinches and his wonderful work In
stopping the Lanks when they were
hitting so viciously Is nothing short
of remarkable. Heller led the way
for more Lanks scoring in the second
with a single. Lallier walked after
Heller had gone to second on balk
Compton's out advanced both runners
but Gowdy famed.
Brown started the fourth inning
with a corking triple TO left corner.
REYNOLDS beat one out to Behringer
N. gtaifnnarU Heller
gently skied to Wolfe and Willoughby
took care of Lallier's pop and when
Compton walked the cushions were
jammed. Then Hancock came TO
earth once more and breeZed Red
Gowdy. Lanks had runners on In tho
other frames but were not danger
! Gus in the face of Hancock's clever
heaving.
But even as clearly as Hancock was
working II was necessary that he
be pulled out. The Jerking came In
the sixth when a Digger rally was
on and Zmich was needed to help
out the cause. With one down Far
rell singled Heller making great
one handed stop or the drive close
to second but was unable to re-
cover in time to get the speedy one.
Hits by Reilly and Willoughby fol-
lowed filling the bases. Zmich came
into the game batting for Hancock
but his roller to Justus was used
for force of Farrell at the plate
Behringer followed with a drive be-
tween Brown and Reynolds. Both
tried for the ball and collidcd. Reilly
scoring and Zmich going 10 second
Brown was laid out for several min
utes. Schrall fouled TO Williams.
That placed the Diggers four runs
| behind the Lanks, a lead that seemed
apparently safe with but another In
ming to play. Joe Lewis mounted the
hill and took up the task of Han
| cock. With one down Carter scratch
ed a single and was caught trying
to swlpe. Williams was easy.
The Fun Starts
Then came the celebration. Tha

a fast one over second base, scor

Farrell on third. Reilly then stol'

and sent in Johnstone to break M

better for a minute and the Ian

But Lewis was too much In earn
