The Story.
tBy Des B. Kirk.)

Newark, July g-(SpeCiaD Fast
ball pitching of high degree boosted
the gay young Molders into the lead
In the opening game with Marion,
Thursday, and the heavy clouting of
the home lads sent the first exercise
of the series into the proper count
ing channel for Newark. A little luck
also helped the Wratten troupe to
sweep the decks, and after the first
round. Moore and his team mates
held the Diggers paralyzed, blind and
dlppy Mogan, Marlon's recruit who
performed for the first time Thurs
day, started out like time killer in
an auto race. but an aeroplane also
figured in his performance and he
went up.
MOORE'S WORK.
Big Peggy was an Oriental puzzle
except in the first and eighth in
nnlgs when the ponderous dauber
passed Behringer and Johnston and
both men ultimately registered. With
the exception of the two men who
rounded for the preventative scores,
everything was Newark from Menu
to the printers name at the bottom
OF the bill. The big twirler stuck to
his guns i'm miserly fashion through
out the entire melee ana allowed but
two clean hits to be garnered off his
offerings He also helped things
along with two hits. one single and
one triple. both of the drives
brought runs and Moore was a hap
py lad as q result.
wHIRIWIND START.
The Diggers. fresh from their vic
tories over the Tigers. come to visit
Newark, feeling confident of victory.
and their whirwind start was rather
depressing to the fans. Behringer,
who has never been in Newark be-
fore. was passed and on Piper's
passed ball he went to the Keystone
brick. Wolfe famed out. but Shields
dashed esrthward all the hopes of the
fans when he lobbed n single and
Behringer scored. Williams picked
out am awful drive. but snyder's one
handed catch put crepe on his hopes.
NEWARK SCORES.
With Abbott out on a fly TO Will
loughby, Johns drew the pass he
waited for. but his career was short
lived. for Book pasted one at Staley
and Johns was out to Wolfe. How
ever, Book was safe on the play and
he lost no time in robbing Johnston
Of base. Piper's single scored him
and the big catcher went to second on
ToOhey's error. Fisher ended the
threatened trouble by striking out.
THE REAL START.
If Mogan thought the worst was
over, he was doomed to disappont-
ment for trouble in chunks loomed up
On his horizon. Moore tarted IL with
a soft single and Pinxney worked n
pass. Snyder dubbed up n high foul
that Johnston choked and McCllntock
fed out to Toohey, the runners ad-
vancing. Abbotts vicious two brick
poke scored them and a moment later
ne crossed on Johns three bagger to
center. Book ended the run getting
by striking out.
TWO MORE SCORES.
Snyder scored in the fifth, after he
had been walked, worked around the
sacks, and was in readiness for Alb
botts second hit of the game. The
sixth round saw another run come in
for Newark, after two were down.
Book struck out and Piper grounded.
Behringer to Staley. Fisher singled
and reached second on Toohey's throw
which bumped the bleachers. Moore
then gained undying fame for him
self by smacking the ball for three
bases. Fisher rounding for the count

terfeld fence and he reached third
without difficulty.
