Once more those tribesmen from
Newark gave us a mighty battle for
q decision and II was only through
effective work by Joe Lewis and
rally In the eighth during which
Clickengcr wobbled that Diggers were
able to get away to the merry. Though
Newark hitting was mighty light
those hits with some inside abseball
and Digger errors, managed to pro-
duce, the runs Diggers got four.
At the start II was Rube Rice
against Clickenger. 1t remained that
way until the fourth when Rice sprain
ed his ankle in fielding a bunt and re-
tired In favor of Lewis. The old pinch
prince went through to victory but
not without many troublesome
moments. i'm some of which II seemed
as though victory had perched on the
enemy's standard.
Clickinger was tightwad when
Diggers aimed to accomplish some
thing. He was tapped ten times In
that matinee but managed to keep
. the hits well scattered until the
eighth until three safe smashes and
a wild Pitch produced two and the
game.
Rice showed far better than on his
last appearance here. Work on the
road has rubbed off much of the rough
ness and while there Is yet nNEch for
the big fellow to learn he seems to be
coming. Rice had more control than
ahe had before and the only hit made
OF him IN the three and one third
innings he worked was of the scratch

smothered by Brown let Colligan trot
over with our first one.
II was In the fourth that Newark's
first successful attack was made.
Move put "a Swinging bunt" In
front OF the plate and Reilly made
the throw to Johnstone. 1t looked as
though Move was out but assistant
umpire Nugent of the visiting Molders
who was helping Phelan, ruled other
wise. Kendall breezed and on the third

Reilly's peg was low. Brown laid down
a bunt which Rice picked up but
dropped as his ankle turned and
and Move scored while Brown was
safe at first. O'Day then slashed to

horn resulted. with Hummel as the
pivot, Joe Lewis having replaced the
unfortunate Rice.

powerless to break through in the To-
