LEWIS OFFERING UNSOlvED
Manager Let's Lima Down
hitless in Second Game.
Two Great Games Full of Breathless
Moments 0se Run in Second
Game Enough to Win.


yesterday for the Diggers and some
500 admirers who saw two of the
prettiest games of the season and
saw Marion twice down the naughty
league leaders, making it four straight
on the series.
There was class to every inning in
the two struggles. Full of tense mo-
ments, and situations full of POSSIBLE
ity. those two games We're not for
one with heart disease. From the
time that Big Ed. Zmich stepped
upon the rubber in the first contest
TO the minute that Red Farrell grab
bed that low liner in the closing
round of the second contest, there
was action aplenty and no palmer
evidence of the ability of the Ma
rion club to travel as fast as any
thing In the league, could be deslr-
ed.
Zmich went well in the first strug-
gle. pulling out of seemingly hopeless
tight places and aided by some
mighty swell fielding and hard hit
ting I'm which he, himself, took a
ledulHR pdIN. ~ he Sttuuu NoiptSS
saw Lewis, Digger manager, loom up
as a shining light, and let the near
champs down without semblance OF
a safety. There were three Digger
wobbles in the first game but they
were not costly as subsequent events
proved. In the second contest the
lads gave Lewis the kind of support
his faultless pitching deserved. In
this contest Zmich got into the lime
light once more by driving in the
lone Digger tally. Hero roles were
played by every player in the game.
ii was an honor to win two such
games from SUI II club, but in the
pleasure moments that follow the
winning do not underrate the losers
lit was oven an honor to have been
the loser
THE FIRST GAME.
Right of the real Lima started
out to pierce the Zmich defense.
Fdnke looked easy until he slashed a
single to middle and was sacrificed
TO second by Reilly. Miller was up
10 hit but Zmich could not breeze
them over just to suit Handiboe and
Miller got gift. A swiftly executed
double steal made the onlookers hold
their breath fearing each second that
a timely smash would sew up a game
at the very outset. Butt n1 such
smash was coming as Zmich hauled
his tanning machine into action, now
ing down both Foutz and Foil and
1t was mighty feat at that.
Another time OF deathly stiffness
came In the third round when Will
Jams misjudged w. MIller's long drive
to left and the pitcher made third
before the bali was recovered. He
was held there while Wolfe was
throwing out Finke and little Reilly
got four wide ones, Immediately
stealing second. Here again Imlch
came to the rescue and without ask
ing his support for aid famed both
Miller and Foutz
Unwilling to give up Lima tried
hard again III the fourth when FohI
paved the way for some doings with
a double TO left. Sykes attempted to
sacrifice but popped TO Willoughby and
FOh was uOuDleu up,
Lima finally succeeded in sending
q runner across in the fifth and II
was the first OF game that had
been a mighty pitchers battle up un-
I'll that time. Weller singled to right
and Watkins allowed him TO take
second when he let the BAH roll
through his legs, Millers sacrifice pui
Weller on third and Finke's long fly
20 Farrell let Weller cross. But
even without the Watkins wobblt
Weller would have completed the
Journey as A. Reilly followed witt
a doubel to left field that got pas
Williams. Lucas and Staley tool
care OF Miller.
The game was really won through {
misplay by Manager Foil. In thu
sixth with one down Wolfe and Far
rell walked and Williams out pu
both up a notch. Miller then threw
a low one close to Staley's heels anC
Foil let the ball go TO the stands
Wolfe and Farrell scoring, the latte
making the plate after great sprint
one OF the kind that onl Farrell
can make. That relieved a lot O
fans and cut deep into the Linn
supply OF ginger.
But Marion was not to wait loni
TO have the contest put on ice, !
