(By S. T.. Godden.)

1t was Joe Lewis first. last and all
afternoon and the pastlming was easy
for Diggers with the manager heav-
ing the best kind OF baseball. But
pitching was not all Lewis did. The
chief was out to win the ball game
and to help things along he led in
the attack by getting three clean
singles in four times up.
Just four callers reached first on
the Digger toiler. one got there on
scratch hit in the first inning. Not
until the sixth did another reach.
This time 1t was base on balls after
two were down and 1t was the only
pass that Sir Joseph issued. A double
and single in the eighth sent Lam
casters lone run over. Lewis was pitih
ing so well and Diggers were batting
so hard, that the contest was mighty
tame after eae troublous moments
given our boys by Lanks on Sunday
Dunnick was the Hoffman selection
for the day but lasted Just three ana
two-thirds innings. In one OF the
best Digger batting bees seen on the
lot for many a day. Dunnick was
driven to cover and the lanky Cheney
was ttotted out. He fared better than
his predecessor but could not get
past without Diggers going to him,
although he was successful, with the
aid of Umpire Mason, in breaking up
that fourth frame hitting match.
Hoffman walloped hopper toward
right center in the first. Lewis knock
ed the ball down but 1t glanced away
and Hoff reached. first in safety,
mighty lucky sort of hit. Mcclure
sacrificed but Lewis was invincible
with Lallier and Blake trying to con-
meet and get the runner over
Lanks had but one moment OF JOY
and it was hardly that either as
there was no chance to overcome the
bip Digger lead. This came In the
eighth when with one In siumperianu
Ford pushed n double between Meehah
and Epler and Welch hit past Ayette
for base, scoring Ford. Welch went
TO second on Epler's throw TO inc
Mate and to third on Cheneys OUT
Hoffman ended the little rally by I'm
ing to Hummel.
Colligan was passed as starter Tor
Diggers In the first and Epier, iali-
ing 10 sacrifice, rammed single INTO
right center, Colligan reaching second
Meehan's sacrifice advanced the pair
and Hummel sent long fly TO hoii-
man in middle, Colligan going over
the plate on the putout. pohnstohe
was a target for Dunnick and i'm
mediately stole. Both died, on the
corners when Blake took Ayette's roll
er.
Two hits were wasted in the second
Lewis and Colligan landing safely al
ter two were down. Epler drove
hard liner into Wetzell's hands. Hum
mel doubled in the next with one
down but was not advanced.
But talk about hitting, that fourth
was made .lemorable by It, Weiiei
started with double to right ano
scored when Wolfe shot terrifiic iihe
drive TO the left field fence for three
sacks. Lewis scored Wolfe with his
second hit of the matinee and went te
second on Colligans sacrifice. After
E,pler lifted to Mauger, Meehan past
ed a hard one into left Tor three
sacks, letting the manager count. Tha'
was enough for Hoffman and Dummies

with Meehan on third, Cheney
