Digger rally.
Emmett Reilly used mighty good
Judgment in the second when with
Christman and Duffy standing fiat
footed he laid down a perfect bunt
and beat the bah to first with a
slide.
But one misplay was made by
Portsmouth in the seventh inning
rally of the Diggers That slip did
not figure in the scoring.
Two nifty double plays were pull
ed off by the callers and both helped
Christman out of dangerous places.
The Portsmouth southpaw did not

Decanniere did.
The Diggers stole four bases in
the seventh.

second i'm the first frame Williams
and Wolfe attempted to squeeze but
the ball went foul. A second attempt
resulted in Williams succumbing by
the strfke-out route Staley then hit
hard one through the box but
Christman managed to turn the ball
toward Evans and Staley was out at
first, retiring the size.
The Portsmouth club has black
uniforms with grey stockings and
makes mighty fine appearance on
the field There is plenty of ginger

a great change from the Doyle
squad OF last year.
Holmquist will work for Ports
mouth today. Ludwig star of the
callers heaving staff will pitch the
game tomorrow The contest will
be called at o'clock.

the game tomorrow when the largest
crowd of the season is expected.
Frank Locke will be in the game
Sunday.
