A farcical exhibition, even worse
than that OF the day before was put
mp yesterday by the Dlggers and
Portsmouth was permitted to depart
with the second and last game of the
series by a score of seven and one.
While even with tight play on tho
!, part of the locals Portsmouth might
have won, yet losing in that way Is
: far better than the course chosen by
the Marionites
The batfest of the callers started
In the first inning and kept up at
intervals throughout the struggle.
Then came Digger errors to help along
the scoring and make the game
joke. In addition the play of the To-
Gals was decidedly dopy so much so
In fact that loyal fans were provok-
ed to a point where they hooted sew
eral OF the players!
Goulait was the Lewis choice and
Bill Ludwig and his splitter led the
Portsmouth hosts. Goulait was some-
what wild and had to sacrifice his
effectiveness to get them over. But
even at that the leaders took to his
offering and hammered away fatten-
ing up their batting averages while
on the other hand Ludwig kept Ma
rion at his mercy and the locals fail
ed at every crucial point until the
ninth when pair of raps sent a
Digger across.
One of the worst offenders of the |
afternoon was Wiloughby whose two
high throws a muff of foul fly and
whose going into a trance on another
he had captured, brought down the
wrath of the bleachers on his head. +
There were other contributors to the
melee and their shortcomings do not
appear in the figures.
Goulat appeared to be starting
magnifcently when he famed both
Plummer and Reckeimer. ODay pried
of the lid with a rap to middle for
three bases-one of the hardest hit
balls of the season. Scudder sent him
In with a baser to left and W"'nbergs
double to middle scored Scudder. Hor-
nupg lifted a Texas Lacquer into right
that Colligan got on the hop and with
a perfect haeve TO the plate, headed
on Weinberg.

ed in a fly by Childs Calls walked
and Ludwig put fly In center out
ofa Meehan's reach. The bases were
full when Plummer hit a little roller
and Goulait, becaming confused to
coacher's yels turned to throw to
third allowing Plummer to reach first.

and O'Day.
