Lima, Aug. 20--(SpeciaD first
slSirmish at San 'Felice. park in the
present scsuggle with Marion found the
Diggers victorious over the Champs
by score of 2 to !.
Osborne, the new HEAVIER who came
to Lima in the place of Pennybaker
was In harness. Had he been given
the support that most any pitcher can
demand he would not have been scored
upon. Wnile the box score shows that
the former American Association
twirler made the only tumble of the
game number of drives went for
hits when they should have been handl-
ed with the proper kind of fielding.
Osborne's teammates were not there
with the necessary dash and vim, not
detrncting any from the laurels of Mr..
Goulait. The Frenchman twirled gilt
edged bail. Only four hits did he al
low and in the eight inning, only, did
he show signs of weakness. Nothing
that resembled an error was made be-
hind the visiting hurler while Os-
borne's colleagues turned several kinds
OF freak stunts behind him. "Chich"
Long was the only one of the locals
who fielde1 in anything like his usual
form, one stop of the third sacker be-
ing OF the hair raising order.
Al Newham's absence from the game
was keenly felt, as McClintock was
forced to play short and Lloyd was
sent to the Keystone sack. One drive
got through Harry. while Nesser also
allowed one to get by first. Both
figured in the scoring
Eddie Meehah was benched in the
ninth inning for disputinE a decision,
Colligan taking his place in middle.
There wasn't Tie slightest hesitation
shown by the Champs in the run get
ting and after Al McClintoclS had eros
sed the plate In the first inning 1t
looked like the game would be easy.
Doherty got in the game for the first
time in two weeks and struck out at
his first appearance at the plate.
McClintock struck at wide one for
the third strike and reached first
>Houtz popped to Reilly. Nesser ar
rived at first base via the single to
center route, McClintock coming across
with the first tally. Nesser pilfered
second but remained there when Irving
popped t. Hummel.
The locals never threatened after
that until the eighth inning and not
until there We're two down at that time
Ocborne opened for the champs flied

his body. Nesser got a walk when the
Frenchmar showed signs of nervous

failed to get his usual swat In this
pinch, driving fly to Meehan.
The visitors first run came In the
third inning. Ayette fired the FIRST gun
by singing to right. Lohr sacrificed.

In the fourth inning the visitors got
the other tally. Johnstone shot one

trieved ana relayed TO the plate.
Goulait soarded TO Irving and Weller

frame Meehan got on by being rib
