osborne, who came to us from the
Colonels, was long enough. lean
enough and strong enough to take
the Diggers along in good style and
upset the Cobblers in the third game
of the series. TO 8, yesterday at the
patch Ada Miller and his cuspidor
ball to the contrary notwithstanding
Osborne was making his debut and
while there were shaky moments, due
to couple of rather fortunate extra
base hits in the first, he went through
nicely and showed courage in the
tense moments with those up-and-
doing downstaters. This Osborne
measures just six feet and five inches.
He gets an angle on the pill that as
sists him in baffling the swatmeisters.
After the first couple of innings his
curve ball. really good one, got to
breaking better and with an OCCASION
al fast one he got through in COM
paratively easy fashion. Taking the
whole Osborne performance into con-
sideratlon 1t is just to say that the
big Stats Will do.
Miller found 1t impossible to get
one past the bat of o. Schreck. and
let 1t be known that the boarding
house meister was about the whole
show in that party. Four of five
runs made by Marion filtered over
after three corking singles by the
one-glove artist who batted with a
perfect record. Schreck did not get
around any of the four times he was
on the bricks but each time he had
to doff his cap before donning mitt
and protector.
1t did not take Diggers long to get
the Miller goat. Ada was as happy
as a boy with red-top boots when
Portsmouth put n pair over in the
initial round but Diggers commenced
to crawl upward imedlately and Ada $
smile was turned to that look of pain
and misery which in his case denot
that things are not going as well as
he is wont to have them. This first
was an unfortunate period for the
home pastlmers. Jones fooled around
for second or two and then clOuted
to left about an inch inside of the
line, getting two bases. Childs lifted
to Linderbeck, who had been shifted
to the su nheld. Breen reached on
the outside and shot liner into
right field for three sacks, the ball
striking even closer to the foul line
than that of Jones. The Cobbler
scored on the triple and Weinberg's
ny to Undertook let Breen register
The decision at the plate was one
that brought vehement protest from
the bugs. Epler gathered in Reck's
high one.
Dlggers then went out to get those
back and succeeded in regainlng one,
Meehan was hit and Epler sacrificed
while Ossie put Meehan the remand
err of the way with a sharp slap past
Childs to Reckhelmer. Schreck went
to second on the futile throw-in and
stayed there while Linderbeck and
Johnstone went down.
With Osborne OUT of the way on
strikes the third was made a scoring
inning by that same Meehan-Schreck
combination. Meehan doubled to
middle Epler famed and Schreck's s
smash to right sent the feet Digger
over with the run that tied.
There was a chance In the fourth
when Johnstone's double blazed the
way but Hummel did not sacrifice OF
Wellers long fly to Reckheimer would
have easily produced run. John
stone died on third, whence the Wei
ler fly sent. him, when Jones made
long run and captured Fishers smash
