Lima, ONO, MAY zI.-MClceI
wildncss in the opening inning OF
the Marion-Lima series gave the CT
garmal,ers an early lead yesterday
and they were never headed, winning
an uninlerosting game by the score
of TO 2.
Mercer started in Jy walking Fink.
Reilly attempted to sacrifice and
Mercer made wild heaye to second
i'm an effort to catch the runner.
Miller waited and walked and Man
ager o'Day then derricked Mercer.
IT. was trying time for Hancock,
who succeeded him on the rubber.
The stations were all populated, bui
tho Digger twirler pitched some very
hcady ball Foutz rolled to Wolfe,
scoring Fink. Fohl died, Hancock to
S,aley. Sykes single scored Reilly
and Miller, and the game was won.
or course, out OF courtesy to the Wis
itors, Manager I'ohi played the re-
inaining nine innings, nut 1t was
altogether unnecessary and the Dig
gers had no chance to win.
Charlie PI-kett pitched a nice
game with the exception OF one inn
ing. In the fourth Farrell doubled
Locke tripled and Reilly and Staley
each got nice singles. Two runs
were nettcd, but after this Pickett
settled down and only two other hits
were made off OF him during the whole
nine innings.
In the fourth inning, rain COM
menced falling, continuing through
out the remainder of the game. Um-
pire. Bierhalter would not call the
game even after the fifth, hence the
visitors can not claim that they. re-
ceived the worst of II, by having
same terminated at that time.
