(By S. L.. Godden.)

Secretary Joe Carr. of the Ohio
State league, Is no Jonah to the Ma
rion club. This was demonstrated
yesterday when with the secretary
viewing the game, Marion put IL on
the Bean boys to 2 In one of tho
most exciting games seen at Webb
park this summer. The battle was
not over until the last guest had been
struck. out by the little Frenchman,
Goulait.
When Bob Quinn comes to the
park, Diggers might as well lay down
their picks for there's no chance.
Bob Quinn Is the prize hoodoo of the
local team for he has never seen them
win except in one game and that at
Columbus when Newark's Orphans
opposed us In the mud. The "wel-
come to our city smile" should al
ways greet Carr; Quinn should come
when losing does not bother the To-
Gals.
Secretary Carr saw some baseball
played yesterday. Diggers and Champs
were up and doing all of the time
and whenever 1t seemed that the
locals had the knights of the Bean
we'll showed under they would arise
that was mighty hard to overcome.
Principal among the resisters was
Snooze Goulalt. Goolah was lah-
lah. Yes, sab. In the pinches the
St Clair pride was all to the merry
and 1t was not often that his CO.
workers were called upon for any
thing out of the ordinary and when
It came to getting the run that prov
ed to be the winning one, the speed
boy was on the job, beating out a
slow roller and letting Digger cross
the pan. Weller's unfortunate over
sight at this juncture robbed the
Diggers of a chance to put the con-
test on Ice but that would have spoil
ed all of the interest, which, by the
way, was maintained up until the
pinch hitters went hitless In the
ninth
Eddie Miller, whose right name is
Donalds, was the Digger opponent
In the third game of the series. Mil
ler was there with all of his CUSTOM
airy craft and cunning. But Dig
gers managed to go through with
their stun and get enough to finish
ahead of Al Newnham's speed boys
Reilly held the Champs In check
whenever they tried any thieving tao
tics and Goulait proved to be great
man In times of peril. Lima should
have scored but once. A timely hit
or two, however would have made
that Jack Johnsing bacon all belong
to the callers
Emmett Reilly led the local attack
In the second with pepper just out
of everyone's reach In short center
Bill Johnstone sacrificed and Hum
mel breezed. Little Ayette was think
ing of his French pal In the power
house when he put a shot In left fol
three sacks, scoring Reilly. Weller
hit over second and Ayette register
ed. Goulait forced Weller at sec
ond, Newman to McClintock.
In the third the callers broke
through the Digger defense anc
scored one. Newman hit safely tc
\ middle and Long hunted, advancing
him. Miller caught a fast one and
sent IL skimming into center field
after Newman had reached third OF
a wild pitch and the leader scored
Ayette's error gave Doherty a llft
and sent Miller to second where M
succumbed when leading too far or
on Reillys peg to Hummel. McClin'
took ended the attack with high
one to Meehan.
What eventually proved to be the
