IL was romp day at the patch yes
terday and the rompers were nine
Diggers, whose fifteen safe smashes
for q total of 20 bases, produced ten
big runs while Chillicothe by means
of a clean hit, a scratch and an err
ror managed to count twice and es-
cape a shutout.
Chillicothe does not expect to win In
Diggertown. They have tried 1t often
enough but have failed each time.
Often the Infants appeared to have
the game but like Monday, something
happened to snatch il away before tho
end. But there was no chance yester-
day for Diggers opened up In the first
inning with three and while they used
only three innings In the game for
scoring they were on the bases and
hitting The ball hard all of the way.
Cooperrider who broke into the Ohio
State league on the Infants last
visit hereabouts, again took up the
task OF overcoming the hoodoo on the
Marion lot. He had not been out there
long before he realized how futile 1t
was. Baxter, opposing the German,
was the master workman all of the
way and pitched shutout ball. A lit
tie furry by his support In the fifth
presented the callers with all they got
In the party.

the day. went down on strikes.
ChilScothe's best effort came in the
NTH when Purtell hit over second and
Hummel knocked the drive down but

Either could have gotten It but there
was a misunderstanding and IL fell
