Ohio State league followers must
admit that Lee Fohl. the Lima lead

club. Fohl is mighty fine fellow
personally and on the field he sets
the pace for the rest OF his men to
follow. Notice many of the other
catchers in this league. They seldom
get ON the bases and when they do
they wait for hits to send them
around. But with Foil 1t Is different.
He Is hitting the ball all the time and
when on the bases he is about as
dangerous as A. Reilly and not be-
cause he Is SO fast as because he
knows when and where to 20 and his
headwork makes up for what he
lacks in sprinting ability. II Fohn

wishers over the outcome OF the
Lima series when the locals annexed
fonr straight games from the league
leaders, and played the best baseball
that has been seen on the yard this
summer
Returning from rather disastrous
road trip the Diggers passed Lima at
the close OF the first game and after
making one of the greatest rallies ever
seen hereabouts. The Tuesday game
was well played but fine hitting by
the locals made 1t a comparatively
easy victory. The taking of two
games from Lima in one day was
greater than either OF the other two
happenings.
Fans OF Marion are giving due
credit to Manager Lewis for his abil-
ity to get-the Diggers into the going
and they believe that he will keep
them there. The lads like Lewis and
will work their best for him. That

THE SECOND GAME.

With nerves relieved somewhat
toward the close of the first battle,
for believe me, ii was that and more,
the bugs were hopeful that the Dig
gers would get an early start and
sew up the second contest in a hur-
ry. Had they done this there
wouldn't have been the tense mo-
ments, when heart beats almost ceas-
ed, through those long seven innings

was mighty hard to break through
and once and only once was home
plate crossed
1t was Manager Lewis who led the
way for the Diggers and the leader
was given backing OF the firmes,
kind at every turn. For seven lone
innings Lewis battled against the
enemy and not once was safe hit
registered. Only four bails We're
knocked to the out6eld and all ol
these were grabbed by Farrell. The
gardener made two wonderful catches
one in deep right center up against
the fence with Fohl on second ant
hiking for home and the other In
the seventh with two down. The
/ last one was one of those short slow
pops over the infield and it was Q
magnificent effort on Farrell's par

all happened in the seventh, that
frame In which so many Digger vic
tories have come. Johnstone started
by tanning and Lucas hit safely to
middle. Watkins forced Lucas at sec
ond. With Watty on first Zmich
found one to his liking and sent II
sailing over the right field fence,
close to the place where he sent one
in recent series. That gave the Dig
gers n three run lead but Miller could
not stop it here and let Willoughby
have a present. The latter stole and
scored when Wolfe drove a greaser to
left. Reilly grabbed Farrells drive
to the same garden.
That was all the scoring but far
from being all of the story. Walter
Miller who was Digger during the
winter league" days but who bought
his release, was far from being a puz-
zle. The hits were numerous and
timely.
Wolfe was working like major
Lacquer around the short field. A
hike back of third base to grab a
grasser and heave it to first seemed
but an easy feat, so swiftly did he
move. His high light play came in
the seventh when Pickett hit a fast
one past Willoughby. Wolfe went
over, speared the ball and without
turning heaved to Staley and the lat
ter, telescoped a few yards into the
diamond, taking the throw close to
the ground and beating Pickett by
inches.
But the hero of heroes in the first
contest was Zmich, who was all to
