Mansfield showed some judgment
In making their safeties. All told in
the nine innings they landed safely
ON Hancock but five times. With
admirable forethought they punched
foar OF these in one inning. scoring
four runs and the victory. Marion
did not pursue the same policy, sim
ply because their hits were too few
TO be deserving of the title OF
punched Their sole run was unde
served while the quartet collected
by the Tigers came as the result of
clean hitting.
This makes the second victory
within a week for Schanze against
the Diggers. He slipped over an s
to 4 victory against them on last
Saturday. the young southpaw
twirled a splendid game. and al
though wild was effective enough IN
pinches that his generosity did not
hurt him. He walked seven OF the
visitors and hit one, making a total
of eight men that reached first with
out touching the ball. However, he
famed nine and kept any hits from
following his walks. He walked two
In the first. one in the second, one
passed one in the fifth and two in
the eighth. Wolfe was walked on
each of his four appearances at the
plate. Schanze famed one in the
first, three in the second, and one
each In the fourth, fifth, sixth sew
enth and ninth. He started the game
by flaming ODay and ended the game
by whiting the manager. Bull
Williams drove safe one through .
the infield in the opener while Lucas
batting after two were down in the .
ninth turned the same trick. Every
ball lifted out of the lnheld was an
easy chance for the gardeners
Hancock twirled good ball outside
of the fourth but was in trouble most
of the way. After holding the locals
hitless for three innings, four OF the
trst six men TO face him In the
fourth hit safely. He was also Wild
Issuing -four passes and failing to
fan a batter. He managed to keep
the Tigers hitting the ball on the
ground. the visiting infeld having
nineteen chances, seventeen OF which
were handled cleanly.
A pretty exhibition of mead work
on the part OF Breymaier in the
opening inning saved some trouble
ODay had whitfield, Wolfe and Far
rel were walked Williams drove one
through second and the bases were
filled, Smith made nice throw to
the plate holding Wolfe on third
Staley popped one down only few
inches from the plate and Schanze
threw to Breymaier forcing Wolfe.
He'd Farrell on second had the idea
that the ball was foul and remained
standing at second while the visitors
started arguing with Handiboe that
the hit was not fair one. Hezzy
srasped the situation and threw to
Flood forcing Farrell. Schanze
famed Watkins, Willomghby and
Hancock in the second so that the
pass to Johnstone was not productive
OF any damage. He walked Wolfe in
the second with one down but Far

stone flied out and Willoughby fann-
ed Wolfe was again walked IN the
fifth with two out but Farrell ground
ed out. None OF the visitors reached
first in the sixth and seventh but they
scored In the eighth O'Day was
safe when Davy allowed his grounder
TO go through him and Wolfe was
walked. Farrell also coaxed pass
and the bases were filled with none
out. Williams fouled out TO Flood

while O'Day scored Watkins drove
a hard one at Schanze but the south
paw knocked it down in great style.
