poly on that grouping business for
Tigers, cleverly did their all in one
frame but the effort was not quito
strong enough to produce the desired
| result.
HANCOCK. WAS RIGHT
| 1t was Hancock against Cominger.
And the former had the better of the
argument all of the way. Hancock
started out I'm that no-hit style for
which he has become famous of late
Even taking into consideration his
one bad inning only five Tigers
reached first base. Two of these
completed the circuit and made the
game interesting until the end as
| Marion Mansfield contests generally
are
There were chances for the the
| Diggers to put safe margin be-
tween them and the callers but
| Cominger, easy at times, tightened
up and stopped the locals when they
| had gone just so far but nobody cared
as the Diggers had gone far enough
| to win.
Meehan was "a target for Hancock
In the first and Gandinger sacrificed.
| Smith and Davy were easy. Then the
| lid went on and not another Tiger
reached first until the fifth.
DIGGERS TAKE LEAD
In the meantime Marion had Sc
| cured early rather safe lead. Beh-
ringer walked and Shields. with the
infield for his bunt, poked one rather
fast between the box ana first. There
was ,mix-up and the runner beat
the ball to first. Behringer taking
second. Wolfe. up apparently to sac
riice, pasted the ball through short
to left field, scoring Behringer and
| sending Shields to second. Williams
sacrificed neatly after failing twice.
and when Staley walked the cush-
ions were loaded with Diggers. Far
relrs long lift Gnadinger was a
sacrificer. Shields scoring and the
others moving up notch Reilly
had chance to put the game on ice
but Smith was camped In under his
effort.
In the fifth Biery walked and Flood
followed with single to left. Tho
Kettler scarifce advanced the pair
and Biery scored on Redman's hit
through the right wing of the infield.
Cominger did his share for the Mans
field cause when he rammed to right
for base, scoring Flood, Redman
taking second. Williams helped out
Hancock by gathering in the best
that Meehan and Gnadlnger could
send up.
Right there ended the Mansfield
chances. In the following innings
Hancock was the same old enigma
and not another Tiger reached the
Staley corner.
THE GAME is WON
A misunderstanding of signals pre-
vented the Diggers from making the
game bit safer i'm the sixth when
| one run was scored and the game
won as subsequent events proved.
| Williams hit one TO the right of Biery
and beat the ball to hrst. Stalcy
laid down perfect bunt toward
| third but Flood, who handled IL, did
aot even throw to first. as Staley
/ had 1t beaten block. Bases were
full when Farrell, bunting towards
| first. duplicated the Staley trick
Reilly hit toward right field but Ket-
tier made a leaping one-handed stop
of his high bounder. Williams
scoring while Reilly went out at first
Then Staley on third. thought he
saw WiIloughby give him the squeeze
signal and started in. Willoughby
let the ball pass over the pan and
even then Staley migmht have count
ed as Redman dropped the ball but
the turned back and was run down,
Farrell making third on the play Ket
tier retired the side by going over to
second and getting Willoughbys
| grasser.
] One of the particular features of
the game was the work OF Wolfe at
short, most of his chances being diff
cult. He was helped bit by that
king of reaehers. Staley. who seems
