Il Perhaps the most spectacular"
demonstration OF the art tG baseball
ever pulled of In historic Marion re-
sulued Monday afternoon when the
IJlk team. composed OF nine lean,
lanky HOLSTERS stacked up against
the mine known as the Cahholic Ath-
letic club. "A large crowd assembled
20 witness the battle End wnen the
clopuis had MI cleared away and the
ten innings We're complete, the score
Dcaid disclosed that the foxy" Iclks
had slipped one over. Tie s ore
| was l3 10 N
| There were so many features 10
the, great contest that Il would take
am expeat TO find them all. In the
Hist place II was a battle between
.St;urr and Steinmetz. The latter, who
has q reputation a yard long, started
in expecting to strike out his oppon-
enfs as fast as they stepped up to
| the plate. He succeeded remarkably
well for awhile but II IL hard to
fool an Elk all the time and soon
they were shipping over runs quite
ffeluendly. Starr pitched good baa
mp until the slxun inning. Then he
showed signs of weakening and Cap
tain Elliott, who heretofore had been
eating them up In Hans Wagner
style dUwm at shor-f stop, went In to
save the game. Elilott seemed 10
realize that 1t was all up TO him.
His old time speed came back 10
him. HIS curves whicn made him
famo's way BACK in High school
days. were with him upon this os-
caslon and the G. A. Cs. could not
hit at all.
AT the end OF the ninth inning the
score was tie. eleven all. III was
in the tenth that Elliott showed his
true form. He struck out a few
and those who managed to connect
with the leather were unable 10 drive
1t ont Of the diamond. As a re-
suit OF HIS magndhcenl patching and
perfect support OF his team mates.
the opponents were shut out. The
elk shad batted in Two runs and the
game was over. 'r
Another noted feature OF the game
was the fielding on Wdggoner. After
he had eaten up" a few o,m In CEN
ter field, the spectators changed his
'nilme from Percy TO Hans" To-
day Waggoner Is all swelled up on
himself and Is claiming relation to
the noted PVttsburg short stop and
neayy hitter despite difference I'm
spelling Waggoner accepted all OF
his Chances without wobble. He
even went over into Doc Brudy's ter-
ritoHy once and when the distin-
gniished physician reached fout his
mitts for tine ball. Percy" moved
him down. snapped the sphere from
HIS very grasp, and after rolling over
several times. arose with the ball in
his glove. Fine play. The doctor
was not seriously injured in the coll
Hsbn. but after that kept out OF the
path OF the fast" young fielder.
Manager oDay of the Marion. Ohio.
Staaers, is thinking seriously of
signing Waggoner. He'd be good
with sweaters.
Cunningham caught fine game tor
The Elks. His throwing to second
was penfedt and not a few we're
amgnt mapping off the bags. The
Caaholc club had an exceptidhaily
STRONG line-up and things were not
very encouraging for the Flks during
the opening innings. Dick" Mason
played a nice game down around Sec
nuh ata "A ds..J IL, "A.
nit an error. "
The Elks were dee-llghted over
winning Monday and are now all the
more conildent OF viutorN over the
stronlg Lima mine. The team will be
strengthened I'm many particulars be-
fore the Lima game and Captain
l0lliott expects TO have nine scaps
dangling from his belt when His
team plays.
In Mondays contest the Elks had
four errors while the G. A. g. team
was credited with ten. The Elks.
isrrors were made by Starr. ReeJer
and Carlisle, The Elks, made our
teen hits while their opponents maGe
