Time--The Story.

Those October pastimers of one Joe
Lewis got away nicely in their initial
game and sent the Columbus Bonds
home scoreless while Staley, baltimore
Undertook and ,others hit five coun-
ters over the rubberino.
There was a large crowd of the faith
fnl on hand TO enjoy the pastime. The
crowd was In n happy mood and cheer
ed for everybody and everything. Dick
Staley, king of the reachers, was the
center of attraction. The former Dig
ger received q mighty hand at every
turn and showed that, he was glad to
be back among friends by walloping
the leather hard every time up lie
got q triple. double and a single In
four times and tho one time that he
was caught he made the play mighty
close at first. Think of IL! Dick Staley
made q play close at first Therein lies
q tale.
When Staley was here he was suffer
Ing with q pair of bad ankles and
they slowed him up to IL great extent.
Now the big slim one is travelling
fast with those long strides and his
running was one of the surprises or
the day. That same old reach was
there and every time Stalcy reached
the crowd applauded They hate that
big fellow here.
Another performer, George Hogan,
showed to advantage. Tho Blue Grass
league slabist showed the home folks
that he has something besides II glove
and prayer to get him by Ilogan's
control was hardly up to the mark but
that is accounted for by the fact that
he has not been serving them up to
the swat boys for several weeks. But
there was something on everything
that he let the enemy look at. A rip
ping cross fire, n fast BAH that comes
jumping plateward and a fast curve
that he worked nicely both inside
and outside, demonstrated that Hogan
Is fulfilling the predictions of his
friends.
But three safeties, two of them
doubles were made by the enemy One
of the doubles was on the fluky or
der and the single one of the infeld
variety garnered by r. Reilly, was
taken on n close play at first.
Hogan not only showed class against
the enemy when on even terms but he
demonstrated his courage when aspir-
ing guests crowded the sacks and
threatened to register
Will Hogan was on the receiving end
of his "llttle" brothers shoots. Bill
caught pretty game and his throw
ing was one of the features.
Jay baltimore, a Marion boy who
led the third place East Liverpool
team this year, performed at second
In clever style and his triple and
double were in two of the rungetting
innings
Emmett Reilly did tthe backstop-
ping for his club and his work was
up to his usual standard Rellly's
team was outclassed and could do
nothing with George Hogan's offer
ings. Purtell brother of the famous
Billy and the gingery Mark, played
short. A. Reilly, a brother of the
Louisville recruit played third.
Marion took kindly to the offerings
of Conard, the Columbus HEAVIER.
Twelve smashes which included three
triples and three doubles were garner
ed In the eight innings. And the
visitors was not without something on
his puzzers. He found himself up
against a crew that was hitting hard
and even Rcllly's knowledge of the
batters failed to keep the hitting
down.
Jay baltimore opened the way for
scoring in the first rount when he trip
led to right along the line Conley'
who played with Newark this sum
mer, went down on strikes but Dick
Staley, TO repay the bugs for their
generous applause, walloped to mid
die for two hassocks sending Lattl-
more across Linderbeck's out ad-
vanced Staley TO third and Day took
Fetter's long fly under the shows ol
the right wall.
George Hogan pried off the lid IN
the third, walloping to left for sack
While baltimore famed Hogan stole
and Conley's out. Purtell to first, pui
the runner on third. Staley's scream
Ing triple to the score board sent Ho'
