(By s. T.. Goddcn.)

FOLKS felt tnat the Infants had
something terrible coming to them
for the nerve they have shown on the
present trip in contestng every game
so closely with the Diggers and sure
enough the old batting party came off
in the fourth game which was staged
yesterday.
The Babe pitchers found the going
mighty rough. There was Cooper
rider who came first and Botsford, his
successor, and both got an old-fash-
ioned mauling. There were hits to
the right of them, hits to the left of
them. and hits all over them. That
encouraging work with the lumber,
something that has happened twice
this week, has given fans good cause
to think that perhaps the batting
germ is back to stay and that Diggers
on the coming road trip will do some
old-fashioncd walloping that will
bring the pennant thing back home
with them.
Goulait was the Lewis selection and
Theodore escaped from the first In
ming when danger impended, to find
the sailing easy thereafter with Dig
gers romping around the paths Gou-
lalt in the last round sailed them over
Salome fashion and the callers had
moment or two of joy while making
three runs.
That first was hitless but fans held
their breath until the Frenchman put
the enemy down. Kibler walked and

up when he walloped close to the
second sack sending Linderbeck
along. Hummers Intended sacrifice

drunk with none out. Weller, who
got into that Pinch Hobbs notion on
Thursday, was again the man of the
hour. His drive to middle put Lin

Fishel famed and Goulait walked
again filling the bricks.
Here Cooperrder settled down and
after Meehan forced Hummel at the
plate, Epler lined to Brown.
To those two, Diggers added three
