although all the glory was on the job
Just the same. Bill Parson, pinch hit
ter in numerous games in the past,
and good deliverer of the gools, too,
now bears the title of pinch waiter,
for It was really Bllrs waiting in the
biggest pinch of the whole game that
brought victory to the Diggers in
ninth inning rally that tangled the
heart strings and tied heart, strings
and all into knot. Yes, Bill numbers
among his accomplishments, the art
of waiting in the pinches.
One Run Hard to Make.
Making the tieing run in the nine
inning pitching duel between Ed.
lmich and Harry Lloyd, was the
hardest thing the Diggers have sue
ceeded in performing this season.
Easier by far was the count that won
Newark had scored in the first. Ma
rion had even a better opportunity but
wasted it. Then Newark was cleverly
stopped by Zmch who In the one or
two times the visitors had chance,
proved to be a huge resister. But
Lloyd was no weak sister. Plenty of
luck and some lightning fielding by
his fellows kept the Diggers score
less until the rally in the ninth.
Lloyd l. Master.
In the second and fourth innings
Diggers succeeded III filling the bases
before three had been put out but

Callers Score Early.
Hoffman, Columbus boy, joined
the Newark club yesterday, taking
Pinkney's place at second, the mid
get having been sold to Dayton Hoff-
man drew a pass. Snyder tried to hit
through the shifting inield but Wolfe
took his hopper for force of Hoff-
man at second. Behringers heave TO
Staley was just a triiie too late to
get Snyder in the double-up. Snyder
then stole second. McClintock's out
sent him to third and Doc Abbott's
baser in the middle let him complete
the circuit. Abbott was victim OF
Reilly's right when trying to swipe.
RciIly's Throw.
Wratten started well Tor the callers
in the second by lining over vii
loughby's head for a baese. Piper sacri
feed. Wratten got little too daring
and Rellly's snap throw to Wolfe
caught him Off Snyder walked in tho
sixth and tried to steal. Wolfe drop
ped the Reilly throw and Snyder was
safe. Hoffman singled in the eighJn
with one down. stole second and went
to third when Wolfe booted Snyder's
roller With McClintock up an at.
tempt was made to squeeze but Ma,
missed the ball and HOFFMAN was
run down, Snyder getting around tC
third on the play. McClintock ther
breezed. That Is all Newark ccult
accomplish in the face of the masterfu
heaying of Ed Zmich.
The Big Rally.
After falling SO many times to ac
complish anything at the right tlmC
against Lloyd. Diggers were slightl
slseptical when ready for the nintl
and last chance. But Reilly starte,
the fun when he poled to middle TO
a base. Willoughby, up 10 sacrifice
pushed a sharp bunt between tn
| pitcher and first with the infield shift
ing for the play, and catching tn
| enemy off their guard, the Digge
landed safely on first. Zmich the
dropped nice one not far from tn
plate and sprinted for first. Fishe
taking the ball on the run could no
have gotten Zmich so he made valian
try for Reilly at third but the Dig
ger beat the ball there. Filled base
with none out threw the crowd int
a frenzy. Behringer, up for the thlr
time with the bases full. delivered
sharp punch to center field send
ing Reilly with the run that put Ma
rion even up with Newark. Then tn
breathing was easier
The PINCH Hitter.
Lewis hauled out Parson labelled a
a pinch hitter But Bill was not
pinch hitter principally because h
did not need to be. Steady of nery
and clear of eye. Parson faced Lloy
and the moist ball artist for the fri
time in the game lost his nerve. For
wide ones, two OF them mighty clos
teasers, he served to Parson and tl
latter waited and walked. Pinch wal
ing forced in Willoughby with the ru
that gave victory to the Diggers b
fore an out had been made.
Then Parson with players and un
pires all hiking on the field, remen
