Driving Peggy Moore off the lot
when that clever mound artist and
eight of his7 pals were enjoying one
of.the most enhancing aviation stunts
of the season, Diggers scored eight in
the fifth frame yesterday and made
the first game of the series safe.
Portsmouth had not yet alighted on
terra firma even when the ninth was
drawing to a close.
Diggers were hitting all of the way.
Big Peggy used everything in his
large assortment but still they bingled.
Yet In four frames not a lonely local
had been able to get around.
Bill Johnstone uncorked something
when he walloped safely back OF third
as an opener for the Marion fifth. We'll
Ter hit a roller to Scudder which went
for hit when no one covered and
Scudder In a vain attempt to head off
Johnson, pegged to center field, letting
the old top ramble around to third.
Weller closed the gap with a theft and
when Breen, to keep things moving,
nuffed Ayette's long fly, Johnstone
scored and Weller moved to third
while Ayette scampered to sec
ond. Even had Breen held the ball,
scoring would have been easy for
Johnstope on the putout. 1t remained
for Goulait to clean up which he did
very neatly with a double inside the
first base, Weller and Ayette crossing
the rubber. Colligan was the recipi-
ent of Moore's sole pass and things
frightened for Portsmouth when Ep-
Ter. In an attempt to sacrifice, lifted
pepper to Moore. But Meehan cut in
with a rap to middle for a base that
let Goulait register. Colligan came the
remainder of the way on Reilly's hard
smash past Moores shins snc Meehan
went to third Reilly closed up the
gap on the futile throw to catch the
speedy Meehan at the third corner.
Then Hummel rolled one to Moore,
who threw wild to Weinberg and both
Meehan and Reilly came in while
Hummel went to second. After John
stone. who had started this jam
boree, who flied out to Hornung.
Weller got his second safety of
the inning, scoring Hummel and II re-
mained for Ayette with a lofter to
>Reckheimer, to bring to an end an
inning in which every Digger except
Epier had made a safe circuit. Fans
OF Peggy Moore and the proud lead
ers.
That fifth was enough TO stop about
any old team and Portsmouth's play
during the remainder of the day was
pretty ragged. Harter went to the
relief of Moore I'm the sixth inning and
retired the Diggers in order. Meehan
made the journey safely around the
bricks when he was hit, stole second
and went to third on Ayette's sacrifice,
scoring on Hummers safe roller to
Hornung.
Harters error gave Weller a life
In the eighth. Paddy stole and Ay-
ette sacrificed him along but Goulait
famed and Colligan poked one to
Breen.
1t Is easier to relate the total
Portsmouth accomplishment. O'Day
got the first safety off M. Goulait, of
st. Clair. when he nearly knocked the
pitchers head off in the fourth. Scud-
der tapped to Hummel and the pair
were neatly doubled, O'Day being
caught at third, Hummel to Johnstone
to Weller.
In the fifth Goulait was nicely
warmed up and famed Weinberg,
Reckheimer and Hornung in success
sion. Portsmouth had but one chance
and that came in the seventh. They
scored but once and were reluctant to
even take that one with that noun
famous eight staring them In the face.
With Conwell down, O'Day beat out a
roller to Ayette and went to second
while Hummer was tossing out Scud-
der. Weinberg doubled scoring o'Day
and Reckheimer followed IL with a
safety to middle Meehans quick re-
turn holding the runner on third.
Hornung famed. Score:
