(AFTERNOON GAME.)

Mansfield, Sept. 7.-(SpeciaD -
Marion evened up on the series when
they administered the second holiday
defeat to the Tigers yesterday aft
ernoon by 2 to score. With Sec
on place decided and nothing at stake
beside giving the loyal patrons n run
for their money IL was expected that
the game would be more or less Of Il
farce but the contrary was the case.
10th clubs playing Sood ball. The
game was close and interesting and
was n fitting close to a season of
good baseball.
Lloyd working for the locals was
found for but six hits and twirled
splendid ball most of the way Red
Farrell, however playing what he
hopes is his last game in the minor
leagues. found him for a double and
home run and the pair of extra
base blows proved the undoing Of
Lloyd. Staley also another player
hoping that yesterday was his last
day in the little minors found Lloyd
for timely extra base swat, and the
game was decided. Southpaw Zmich,
still another Of Marion's young hope
fuls pitched good ball and scored q
shut out. He was hit hard at times
hut was never found safely in n pinch
The nine hits were scattered through
eight innings. this fact accounting for
the shut out of the locals. Sensation
al support robbed the locals of two
excellent chances TO score.
Both sides had several good oppor-
tunlties to score, but Marion was un-
able to shove run across until the
sixth, when Farrell led off with a
double to the left field fence. Staley
followed with a hard drive to center
for two sacks. The next three were
unable TO advance him. Farrell first
up in the eighth drove the ball over
the left field fence for the second run.

gers and there was joy In Marion
yesterday because of the achieve
ment. Last year Il was third place.
The year before It was last. Now, a
pennant for next year, might be
in keeping with the climb from year
TO year. If much of. the present club
comes back then pennant hopes will
be ours of right.
We talked pennant last spring aft
er O'Day had shown his collection.
A weak spot or two in infleld and out
kept the club from doing very well
at first. Then continued losing
seemed to be a hard hting TO stop.
Joe Lewis was given the club and the
losing did stop within a week.
The climbing commenced and today
the club is preparing to scatter for
the winter after a most successful
season from an artistic standpoint.
Had the other clubs in the league
been able to do anything at all with
Lima, Marion would have won the
pennant. Marion proved to be about
the only club that could beat Lima
and do it we'll and often. With even
fair chance at the leaders in the
last month there would have been
a Marion outfit at the top of the
heap. But folks up this way are not
as hard to please as that and second
place Is satisfactory.
All honor to the Diggers.

The SPORTING EDITORS VIEW

lt was glorious way to end the
season, that taking of a double head
er and making the Tigers, ferocious
things feed from the very hands of
the Diggers. The Marion effort was
entirely satisfactory 20 the great
crowd that went over from here to
see the games. The local fans en-
joyed the beating that Marion admin
istered in the morning game and then
the blanking Of the Tigers in the aft
afternoon.
1t was Joe Lewis who broke the
hoodoo. This Digger leader is en-
titled to all the praise in the world
for his magnificent work with the
club. When 1t seemed as though
Dlggers We're being swept off their
feet by the terrific onrush of the
Tigers, Joe went in and held them
safe all the way. Then the manager
starred in the batting against
Schanze. Three times he poled safe
ones. Others were with him in the
swatting. and altogether it was made
glorious affair. la
Then came the afternoon game
end Ed Zmich, that clever southpaw,
showed that he was just as good as
he has been for weeks and let Mans
field down without the scoring of a
run. Diggers made one early and
then added another. The second one
was not necessary. Zmich was right.

4 LITTLE FIsH's TRICK.
How The Puffsr Discounts His Enemy
and Saves Himself,

and Saves HimseIk
All the little sea folk have their
own clever way of protecting them
selves from their enemies, but the
spiny boxfish has about the cleverest
way Of all.
He belongs to the great family called
puffer, and you will see in a moment
how well the name fits him.
Just imagine the little puffer swim
ming around in the water looking like
a small round box with head on. A
big fish comes along, sees the little
puffer and thinks: There's just a
good mouthful for mer' But just as
he darts toward him the little puffer
blows himself up like ball, turns
over on his back and floats around
with all his sharp prlckers sticking
out toward his enemy.
The big fish is dazed; he stares at
the puffer and thinks, Can that great
prickly thing be the same little fish
tried to swallowY He can't un-
derstand 1t, but he sees there is no
use trying, so he goes sadly on his
way, and when the little puffer is
sure he is gone he just empties the
water out of his skin and goes back
to his usual size.
Now, isn't that pretty clever trick
for little fish to play? But you see,
Mother Nature gave the little puffer
just that kind Of a body that he might
escape from his enemies.-St. Nlcho-
las
