Getting to Smoke Justus in the
early frames and putting three run
ond contest OF the series to /. But
81. was as much Zmich and his mas
terful work as anything else that
held onto the victory gained in the
first OF the contest.
The tall southpaw was right and
the Lanks were made to look far less
dangerous than in the contest that
was waged at the lot just twenty
four hours previous. Zmich had con-
troll, something that he has not pos
sessed previously and as was predict
ed ahere was nothing to IL. The Dig
ger Singer, however, is not yet going
bis best but another week of good
weather and he will be doing deeds
that will make the games worth
while.
Smoke Justus was there in all his
old time form. His peculiar delivery
that which caused so much comment
when he broke into the big league for
a few minutes last spring-is still
with him. Ills curves were breaking
good but he wds not fooling the Dig
gers to any great extent except toward
the close when a tap or two at thei
right time would have made the out
come certainty.
IL was q different looking bunch
of Diggers that opposed the Champs
today. Manager O'Day was back i'm
the game and seemed to instill n
great amount OF ginger into the play
and TO keep the inside baseball work
ing better. The manager himself
was the chief resister aGeld. Twelve |
chances, ten of them assists, he
handled beautifully despite a slight
lameness from his broken toe. O'Day
started a pretty double play that
Wolfe and Staley completed and was
pivot, on another with Wolfe as start |
er hut Umpire Tibbitts called the
runner safe at first. Then watkins
wis back at third and Bull Williams |
was romping around in fine style in
his old pasture. The lads were chirp- |
ing all OF the time and when they
went upon the field, it seemed that
they had all forgotten the doings OF
the day before.
Justus opened by passing Farrell
but Wolfe failed to sacrifice and
o'Day famed Williams opened the
second round with a roller to deep
short that Humphreys handled but
could not get to first ahead of the
Inuian. Staley's sacrifice advanced
the runner a notch. Reilly rolled to
JuStus, who threw to third in time TO
beat Williams there but the willy red
skin turned back and gave them a
chase for 1t on the lines. Back and
forth went Williams until he had an
opportunity TO make n dash for third |
Browns throw to Justus would have
caught Williams but the pitcher drop
ped the ball, Reilly reached second. |
Bob Williams then iet one of Justus'
shoots get by him few feet and
John Bull came in, making It after a
great slide, and Reilly moved up TO
third. Another passed ball let Reil- |
ly cOmpuete the circuit but it was all
the same as he would have scored a
second later when Watkins laced one
to middle. Zmlch pounded.
Farrell made the circuit for thel
Diggers in the third. A walk, Wolfe's
bunt. oDay's out and Williams sim
gle did the business. 1t was the last |
Digger count hut ID was all that was
necessary with Zmich working like a
clock.
The Lank counter came in the
fourth, an error by Watkins being re-
sponsible. With one down Watkins
stopped Humphreys grasser and
threw wide to Staley the runner taxi
ing second. Carter's safe smash to
riga, center let Humphreys in.
The score:
