and the bricks were well populated.
Kibler raised an easy foul for Reilly
but the catcher muffed IL. Lewis
took the captains hopper and tossed
him out with everyone running.
Babes went down in order in the
sixth but when the seventh came a
couple of them got on. With Pur-
tell out to Humme, Hickey, a little
brother of the famous Branch, poled
to left and went to third when Ayette
erred on Harrison's roller. Harrison

turn to Lewis got the ball there In
time for the pitcher to flip to Hum
mel and tag Harrison before Hickey
had a chance to dash home. Colli-

of Potts foul.
"A walk to Lohr and Kibler's sacs

Wolfe and Dewitt were easy outs in
the eighth and there the Infants,
fully confident of having won one
from the Diggers stopped their at

Chillicothe got the first man on base.
In every inning but two at least
one reached first yet Lewis. despite
his ragged support, was able to
tighten and that stubborn defense.
under the most trying conditions,
was what kept the visitors score
down just low enough for Epler
to bring victory in the ninth.
The Marion End of IL.
Colligan was easy in the Marion
first and Harrison issued his first
pass to Epler. Meehan followed
with hard smash straight to Wolfe
and double around the horn re-
suited.
Diggers came within one of tying
In the second when they made
pair. After Weller had been disposed
of Ayette and Lewis walked and
Colligan breezed.
Epler was there with a two base
poke to left scoring Ayette and Lewis
Meehan was tossed out by Wolfe.
Meehan broke through in the sixth
with corking triple to the left
field corner and Reilly's drive to
center sent him the remainder of
the way. Hummel then lifted to De-
Witt and Reilly was moved down In
an attempt to steal after Johnstone
had lofted one to Potts.
1T looked as though the locals
We're destined to either tie up or win
In The eighth but the rally fell short
broke in witt his second double.
Meehan beat out a hopper to Purtell
and Epler went to third, scoring
when Purtell i'm his haste threw
wide to Irwin, Meehan continued to
second when Harrison erred in TAX
ing Reilly's bunt and both runners
were safe. Hummel went out trying
to sacrifice. Had he succeeded Nee
han would have scored the tying run
on Johnstone's fly to Dewitt Weller
ended it by giving Purtell fly.
Then came that ninth. With every
one leaving the grounds Ayette and
Lewis were easy outs. Colligan stayed
there at the plate and stubbornly
contested with Harrison until he
drew pass. Everyone hoped that
Epler would put 1t over the fence
but no one dared dream that he
would, Gus waited until he had
three balls and one strike. Not ex-
pecting the batter to hit the second
strike, Harrison put a straight one
over and there was a loud crack
the ball sailing rapidly out over
Potts head and over the right wall
| Pandemonium reigned while the
athletes trotted in with the winning
runs and for all one knows some of
them may be there bowling yet.
And the homer was not all--Epler's
batting figured prominently in five
| of the six runs. Score.
