the game had seemingly been lost to
Marion in the eighth inning. Friday.
through errors of Fisher and Beck,

Lloyd won his own game with u

Book trailed him close. Maybe the
fans have seen more exciting finishes

are duly appreciated. .....
LLOYD AND LEWIS.
The warming up OF both teams was
snappy for both Managers Wrattcn
and Lewis had envious thoughts con-
cerning the second game of the SER
les. Lloyd was picked for the New
ark box artist. while Manager Lewis
decided upon himself as the heaving
expert for the Diggcrs. Lloyd made
a flying start and Behringer was out
on strikes without moving his bat
Wolfe was also famed and Shields
He'd out to Abbot. The damp ball
man of the Melder staff never worked
better and with the exception of one
Inning he was in no particular dan
ger through work on his part
MISPLNY COSTLY.
Newark's first tally was registered
In the second through Wolfe's wobblc
at short, for on that wobble Book
crossed the pan with rush. with
Abbott and Johns out Book singled
and Johns took third. Piper was
asleep at the switch ana when Johns
tried TO reach home, expecting the
squeeze, Willoughby cut him Off at
the plate. A short marathon was
pulled off 10y the little catcher then
for he dashed up and down until fin
ally a true stab nailed him. Book
reached second on the play and Piper
was walked. The double steal was
then tried and Reilly pcggcd but
Wolfe muffed the ball and Book scor-
ed.
SCORE TIED UP.
After Lewis had pumped up high
one that Book captured Bchringer
nosed out a single and rounded the
bases for the 'ieup count when Wolfe
smacked a scorchins double sacker
The hitter died on the second brick
for Johns handled a hard liner in nice .
style and tho obscquies were said over
Shields at first. Williams was an
other easy out for Lloyd handled him
without difficulty. While Newark was
continuing without counts the Dig
gers pulled off the same stunt and
they were BANKED in the seventh,
Staley made n flying start through
his single and Willoughbys sacrifice.
BAD FIELD WORK.
Bad field work on the part Of
Fisher and Book was responsible for
what had the earmarks of the win
ming run, aud from the way the
game had been fought II would have
taken game fan to bet a dollar to
a brick watch thai Newark would win
out, As Is usually the case two Ma
rionltes We're out when Fisher drop
ped the ball thrown him by McClin-
took to catch Wolfe. A single by
Shields PIT him on third and when
Book dropped the pin knocked him
by Williams, Wolfe scored but a per-
fectly relayed throw from Book To
Lloyd and 10 Piper downed Shields
as lie tried To cross the plate
THE WINNING RUN.
The fans had their hopes bolstercd
up to big extent when Wolfe let
Johns drive get away from him, and
then the roofing commenced. and
never for a minute did the fans lei
up untll the game was safely stored
away IN the strong box of the tire
less Molders. Never for an instant
doubling their ability TO win out, they
had expressions on their faces that
served 10 throw scare into Lewis
when Book rushed for the plate. Two
strikes and three balls had been call
ed on him and then he fouled cou-
pie. His last chance loomed up and

bugs into the seventh Heaven Of bliss
incidentally Johns went to second and
started for third but Wratten waved
him back. Piper picked out short
bingle and the bases were full and no
one was out. Fisher tried hard aud
nsed first heavy swing and then
hunt, but the balls went foul. and he
MAS finally called out. Lloyd grinned
