By John II. MarIlIiam.)


Grasping every opportunity and
distributing their five hits whero
they counted most, Lima took
see-saw contest from the Diggers at
San Felice park Monday and made il
four out of five from the former
chesty second placers, score to 8,
with the Champs now occupying the
same roost as the Diggers and Ports
mouth only perched a few rounds
higher.
1t was n peculiar game, first one
side and then the other having the
advantage. The outcome was in
doubt until the last inning, when the
Diggers let down. Although a rally
like they had made several times
during the game would have enabled
the visitors to at least tied the score,
the Diggers seemed to lack dash and
spirit and several of the players
were on the way to the street car
all of them had taken off their
shoes and Riley who had been sent
in to bat for Munk in the eight saw
ed them the trouble OF again dom
ming them by breezing Epler
Rice worked for Marion and
Munk for the home team. The
lengthy southpaw pitched a good
game though a trifle wild. He has
all the car marks Of a conner and
with an aggressive team behind him
would have gotten away with the
game. Munk was raped hard and
could just peep out of some of the
holes eXtricIted by himself and
teammates. Diggers got over twice
AS many hits as the Champs, but the
home team excelled on the bases.
Especially noteworthy was the per-
formance of Doc Doherty, who got
base on balls and pilfered second,
third and home respectively.
Several times Diggers started raj
lies, but taken as whole, they play
ed listless sort of a game and unless
they take a decided brace will soon
be hopeessly out of the penant run
| ring.
Lima made one run in the first

to right for three bases and camo
