The Marion daily mirror. (Marion, Ohio) 1892-1912, 1909-06-21


describe the scene that followed The
crowd cheered. applauded and did
everything within its power to show
its feelings. The happiest man on
the lot was Bill Parson and the hap
pidsIt w)tnan, his little wife, who
viewed the game from the grand
stand.
lt was hard, at that, for Lima to
get through the Digger defense. In
the first frame with one down, A.
Reilly walked and followed It with a
theft of second. Miller then pound
ed one to middle which Farrell
cnme in and nabbed, cathhing
Reilly off second and completing a
pretty double play.
Things looked rather gloomy in
the second when Miller walked as
STARTER. Foil tried to sacrifice
but Parsons handled his bunt and
forced Miller at second. Sykes
skied 20 Farrell and Fohl went to
second on Newnhams clean drive to
center. Then the pair executed
double steal. Reilly throwing poorly
to third. Weller was hit and the
bases wsre full. Wolfe relieved a
lot of people when he grabbed the
Pickett roller and flipped it to Staley.
That third inning was a local joy
remover without Doubt. williams
was instructed to play deep for
Miller b1t did not obey as we'll as
he might have. The result was that
the big Cigamaker poked one over
his head for three sacks with two
out. Fjutz followed with drive
between short and third that Will
'loughby knocked down with one
hand, bat not in time 10 get either
runner Ind Lima annexed the first
run of the struggle. There was a
lot of hard luck for Marion in the
fourth, when Lima increased its lead
by one. After Staley retired Sykes
Newnham hit a low liner into left
center. Farrell made a great effort
to get the bah but dropped II after
a hard rnn. Weller followed with q
hit to r'sm, one of the Texas
Lacquer kind that Watkins was care
less with and let roll past him
nearly TO the fen-e Newnfam maxi
ing thiri and Weller going to seq
ond. Pickett drew pass and the
cushions were full of Lima athletes.
Finke popped Texas Lacquer over
Lucas head with the infeld drawn
in, and Newnham scored Right
here Pa.sons suddenly became the
big noise, foiling Lima's chances TO
make It cafe by breezing A. Reilly
and letting Miller lift to Farrell.
With Fohl on nrst after being
made n Jarget of by Parsons. Sykes
hit a MIGHTY drive to right that
sailed oTe: the fence and Lima made
two more, increasing its total to
four.
The seventh was notable because
the Diggers used ii to secure their
first tally. Williams started II with
a great drive TO right center for two
bases. Staley's out from Weller to
Sykes let Williams take third.
Reilly was ribbed by Pickett and
Zmich singled TO left, sending Will
liams over. Here PickeEt was der
ricked 1nc Red Kline was substi-
tuted. Lucas got base on balls
and the sacks We're all busy. Bill
Parsons was up to win his own
game. lie lifted one out along the
left line. Reilly catching the fly and
hurling the ball home in time to
get E. Reilly as he was speeding
toward the plate,
Wolfe doubled in the eighth but
the attack was quickly headed off by
Red Kliae whose finish came a few
minutes later.
To opel the ninth for Lima,
Fotz drove a terrific roller be-
tween Lucas and Staley. The former
went over and robbed Fultz on a
hit when he nailed IL in his gloved
hand. The other two Cigaimakers
were ea5y.
Then came the finish and one of
the most unusual scenes ever wit
messed .. the gard.
Parsons at times was mighty good
but at others he was wild and was
bumped rather bit harder than
usual. Eleven safeties were regis
tered BY his former teammates,
6ut several OF these were of the
shady kind. Pickett had every
thing his way until Manager Fohl
used the hook on him. Then Red
Kline got away good but received
an awful bGmplng in the ninth. II
is the first game that Kilne has lost
this season.
