Great Form and Diggcrs Stopped
In Every Inning But ono-Revenge
For Lank Heavier.

Those Lanks upset the Digger pas
timers yesterday by mauling Lewis
at the outset of the party and Sc
curing a lead that the Dlggers were
unable to overcome. Principal among
the reasons for Marlon's fall down
was Inability to hit Cheney when rum
ners were on. 1t was sweet revenge
for that Mt. Vernon run stunt that
was staged here In the long lads
last visit.
Lewis lacked the good control that
generally features his work and Lanks
developed n habit OF mauling the ball
whenever It was~necessary. Heinie
Peitz and his big bat were RESPONSE
BILE for two of the counters chalked
up in the first round and some poor
supporting play by Collgan helped
along in the making of the four In as
many innings.
=. But while Diggers may now weep
whenever they lose as pennant
chances are hurt just that much,
there Is something encouraging to be
cleaned from the matinee. 1t wit
messed the return of Big Rube Rice
to the eminence and the southpaw
did the niftiest bit of flinging he has
yet displayed.
Rice succeeded his manager at the
opening of the fifth. He pitched
magnificent ball, tanning eight ana
yielding not a solitary smash. There
were three walks but one walk should
have been strike-out instead. Ma
sons dimmed optics were to blame,
perhaps.
Lank scoring stopped when Rice
went on the hill and during the re-
mainder of the game 1t was merely
question whether Diggers could over
come the visitors lead. And there
was not really much of question
about II, either.
In the opening go HUFF walked
Riehl failed to sacrifice and then
slammed out double, putting Hun
on third. Riehl followed with
theft. Blake went out on q high hop
per to Hummel who held Hun at
third. But Heinie Peitz caught one
on the nose and sent 1T screaming In
TO left, scoring two while Heinie haul
ed up at second. Hummers error
gave Thomas a life and let Peitz 60
to third. Reilly and Hummel broke
up the double steal, Hummers re-
turn throw catching Peitz at the
rubber. Calls was hit but Currans
hit to Weller and Thomas was out al
third.
Lewis got by In the second inning
without damage but In the third after
two were down a pass to Uncle
Heinie, an error by Colligan and sin
gles by Calls and Currans produced
q run that Lancaster should not have
had. with one down in the fourti
