(By s. Il. Godden.)

After failing to hit anything while
against Pennybaker in the last Lima
game, Marion waded into Mauger yes
terday and put the pill into every
part of the yard, Lancaster going
down scorcless while our pastimers
counted six times.
The runs did not come in punches.
There were five scoring innings in the
eight and in only one did the Marion
ties score twice. They were hammer
ing Maugsr all the way, which is
something unusual as that lad Is gem
orally a hard riddle for the locals.
Bill Colligan led the way in the
willow sWinging. He placed four in five
times up and one was a corSing
triple. Diggers not only swatted the
ball hard but they ran bases like
fiends, registering eight thefts in the
matinee
On the other hand Goulait perform
ed nicely and until Marion had n good
start, the enemy. with Heinie Peitz
TO blaze the rtail found him unsolv-
able. The iron-armed Frenchman was
good in the pinches and there were
several times when Lancaster threat
ened to ore but each time Goulait
emerged without anything damaging
happening Nine Lanks, Including
IIeinle Peitz, went down on strikes
Colligan got good start in the
first when he mauled to right for a
base. Lohr famed trying to bunt and
when Petty muifed Blake's throw of
Epler's roller, there were two on the
pillows. Neither Reilly nor Meehan
could send them around.
Not until there were two down in
the second did the locals get the right
kind of start. With Johnstone and
Hummel gone Weller beat out n tap
to -Currans and Goulait slapped hard
single into right, sending Weller to
third. Gorlait stole second and fol-
lowed Weller over the rubber when
Colligan put shot against the right
field fence for three bases. Lohr fan
ned.
After Epler lofted to HUFF in middle,
Reilly dr,ve a sharp one into right
field and stole second, going on tc
third when Weloh let the pitch get
through him. Meehan's long fly to
Thomas put Reilly over with the third
Digger rum
There was one out in the fourth
when Paddy Weller walked and Gou-
laIt struc6 out. Weller stole and scor-
ed when Colligan again hit safely
Conigan also pilfered but was not ad-
vanced.

out on a screaming hopper to Peitz

sixth with one down by doubling &c

Colligan was there for the fourth with
wallop and Weller was sent over
As usual the scoring stopped with one

There ere two down in the sew
enth when Meehan beat out q hopper
to Blake. Johnstone's slashing smash
to middle put the midget on second
and Mesnan and Johnstone started

The play was made on John
stone ana the old top kept Peitz, Cur

down the line while Meehan stole botl
third and home and when the throw
was made to the plate, too late to ge
Meehan, Johnstone slipped to second
That was the way the last Digge
run was scored
