cothe cellar boys put Diggers in a
terrible state of mind for a few
minutes as the opening game Of the
series was drawing to close and
tying up the score in the ninth the
guests made the party mighty in
teresting until that Meehan-Schreck
winner until they had tied in the
tenth. Schreck hit Meehan over
with the biggest run of the game
with two down in the large tenth.
It was some battle that these
two clubs Fought although F'hilll-
cothe did not look anything like a
winner until they had tied In the
ninth. Then in the tenth by grace of
Hummels poor throw to Johnstone
the bricks became filled but Goulait.
who had replaced Jack Bloomer in
the tenth, steadied and put an end
TO the rally.
Jack Wilkie was the chief oppon-
ent of the Diggers and Jack Bloomer
was the aid upon whom Digger hopes
were centered. Tn two Jacks had
a good battle and and the caller re-
ceived better support than did the
Marionite who was working in the
initial game. Wilkie was wild and
that wldness was responsible for two
runs. Kibler's error was respon-
sible for putting Meehan on the
bricks in the tenth. The demon
stole and glided home when Schreck
walloped past Purtell.
In all that party but FIVE hits were
made by the locals yet two of them
drove In runs. Diggers scored three
times and each time 1t was Meehan
who crossed the pan. And each time
Meehan scored he stole his way from
first to second. Real rotten. is he not?
Bloomer made q favorable impress
sion. He did not use his curve ball
TO any extent although in the few
times he threw II, he showed that
he possesses one. His speed was
nothing remarkable yet his perfor-
nance was very creditable. He had
great control and kept working the
corners, guided by that wise old top.
q. Schreck. Good judgement and
GOODNESS In critical times were his
best assets and in the several times
when there was danger he passed
through It unscratched. Weller's err
ror in the eighth when Kibler should
have been an easy out, let Kibler in
with Chillicothe's first run. The Sec
ond one In the ninth was fairly earn
ed but the old game should have
ended without the most exciting tenth
being necessary and the count should
have been two-one. Goulait going
In with the score tied, gets credit
for the winning.
Eddie Meehan started things nicely
for the local pastimers when he
waited out walk In the first. He
Etole second easily and went to third
on Epler's out. Jack Wilkes wild
heave that went to the stands lei
Meehan glide in. Schreck famed
and Undertook lined to Brown.
In the second Johnstone put q
screecher single into left and after
Hummel had popped to Lake in al
attempt to bunt. Johnstone was NOW
ed down stealing. Brown took Wei
ier's hard liner.
That Meehan got tramp with TIVE
down In the third and Babes i'm
med1ately began to shiver ,Eddi,
stole and came home when EpleI
hit safely past second. Schreck skie'
to Dewitt.
In the fourth Kibler's grab o
Fishel's liner, resulting in an cas-!
double. pulled Wilkie out of a Nigh
ty dangerous place. With Linder
beck out Johnstone and Hummel hi
safely and Weller got pass. Will
three on the bricks and one down
Fishel started a mighty one towar
left field. 1t went directly into Kib
ler's hands and Johnstone was doubl
ed without assistance.
Stout defense by Wilkie and hi
pals put the Diggers down scoreles
In every inning although there wer
chances that looked good in the sew
enth and eighth.
With one down Purtell got a lif
on Weller's error in the first innin
and went down Schreck to Hummt
In an attempt to steal. Flshel the
dropped Wolfe's fly but Linderbec
