Mansfield, Aug. 9.-Marion took the
first game of the series from the
, Tigers yesterday by 4 to score.
The locals looked like sure winners
up until the eighth inning with one
out. the visitors started an effective
bombardment of Comingor's curves,
which alone might not have nettcd
such encouraging results IL two un-
timely errors had not also been sand
wiched in. The combination proved
the undoing of the locals and three
runs resulted.
For seven innings Comingor had
pitched great ball He had his as
sortment of benders breaking nicely,
his slow ball as usual had the Oppos-
ing batsmen breaking their backs to
no purpose. Marion had managed to
shove over a run in the fifth. which
was undeserved. Red Farrell had
beat out an infield tap that Comlngor
could have taken but left 1t for Davy
Jimmy fielded it beautifully but Red
was too fast a sacrifice and an in
field out put Farrell on third and
lie scored when Davy played Parsons
grounder poorly. Comingor then re-
sumed his effective work and chances
for the locals breaking the Marion
hoodoo were bright. In the eighth
with one down, Parsons singled TO
left. Behrnger drove one to first
Biery making a beautiful running stop
but throwing wild to Davy for a force
out. Willoughby singled to right and
it looked as &c Gnadinger threw him
out at first but Handboe wasn't watch
scoring two runs, Williams bunted
and Comingor threw wild. another
run resulting. The next two were
easy. Outside of the fifth and eighth
innings. but two Marionites reached
. first, one each in the first and second
with two down each time. Comingor
did not pass a man and considering
his good work in eight of the nine
innings IT was a hard one to lose.
{, Parson also twirled good ball. But
safe ones were made off of him but
his good support robbed the locals
of few more hits. His wildness got
him in the hole several times but
he usually tightencd up.
Mansfield scored in the second
without hit. Smith was hit. Flood

ler's fly but Comingor grounded out.

been seen on the local lot, coming

One Of the most remarkable geolog-

The sides of the mountain are closely
studded with stone columns or pail

twelve feet long and as large around

the appearance, however, Of being the

Of the mountain is almost perpendicu-

from the surface at right angles, form
ing an impressive picture.
Pachuca Is one of the most noted
mining districts in Mexico. and It Is
said by biologists that this remarkable
spiked mountain IL out of keeping
with the remainder OF the formation
of the mIneralized region. The stone
is as hard az aint and has withstood

willoughby's fielding was nothing
short of wonderful. His catch of
Wratten's foul near the fence in the
seventh was great piece of work
and helped Lewis out lot. Willough-
by's one handed spearing of Hoff-
mans fast grounder in the tenth was
also beauty, Two singles in four
times up was the result of his work
with the stick. The players clever

on next Sunday II Is probable that
Marion and Newark will play at Neil
park, Columbus. In the event that
the game is played there a special
train will he run from here for the
game and not less than 1000 rooters
will accompany the rgGcrs. This
Rooter's club is planning to organize
for this day, employ one of the local
bands and make showing in the
capital city. II Is entirely likely
that arrangements will be made to
play a double header on Sunday at
Columbus and give the clubs an off
day either Monday or Tuesday. De-
pend upon II Marion will be heard
from If the games are played in Col
through the games will be transferred
falls through the games will be trans
here.
Manager Lewis has shifted the
batting order sending Willoughby up
to the second position and dropping
Miller to eighth i'm the list. As Will
loughby is n clever sacrifice hitter.
the change should work favorably.

1906 This was the record until Lieut..
Edward Parry, an American. reached

attempted dash for the pole from the
northern coast of Spitzenberg in 1927.
The Inflated expedition of the Eng.

Andree Only Serious BaIIoonist.
The only really serious balloon at

reach the pole was that of Andree, a
Norwegian, and that probably has
ended fatally. Andree started from
Danes island, Spitzbergen, on July H.
1897. In the balloon with him were
d. S. T. Strindberg and Herr
Fraenckell His balloon was 81 feet
in diameter with a capacity OF 10000
cubic feet.
He estimated that he would reach
the pole in six days, provided a favor

Two days after he departed message
was received from Andree, by carrier

S2.2 degrees and longitude lob de-
grees east, and making good progress
to the east. ten degrees southern.
A year later Eskimos brought into
Hudson bay pieces of cordage and
basket work which are supposed to
have belonged to the Andree balloon.
Several expeditions have been sent
in search of him without result.
