ents, The Diggers yesterday showed

Chillicothe down to a six-nothing de-
feat I'm the first encounter between
the two clubs Diggers had all the
life of old and toward the close they
treated Mr.. Scott, who pitched i'm the

sending over the counters.
But for all of Marion's winning,

before the rain which stopped the
play In the third inning, Chillicothe
fielded miserably and had the con-
test gone on it would have been a
walkaway for the Diggers. But yes

did valiant fielding stunts behind Mr.
Scott. Sensational catches robbed
Diggers of hits and Scott of sound
