After Taking the Lead Marion FaIt-

-Four Pitchers.

Newark, June 24-In a weird con-
test yesterday those leading Diggers
were swamped by an avalanche of
Newark runs and once more the Dig
gers are in second place and looking
up 1t was great matinee, all things
considered. Lewis got his and then
the overworked zmich came in for
even worse than the manager re-
ceived. Bill Johnstone and Ayette
finished up the game. The first sack
er was touched up bit but Ayett
was not found for a safety.
Diggers started in like world beat
ers, finding La Toilette for enough
safeties to garner two runs. Newark
got one In the local first and took
the lead in the second, making two
more. Hits were hopping to every
corner and gardeners on both sides
yelled for the pitchers to pass a few
until they the outfielders) got rest
ed. After Zmich's advent the game
was nicely sewed up and the sailing
was easy for the rest of the way.
The hitting of Riehl, Johnstone and
Kendall were features of long and
tiresome contest. Score.

pie tried out a couple of new pitchers
and neither of them looked like they
were good enough for the Ohio state.
Altman, the first one, didn't seem to
nave anything worth speaking of ex-
cept a good supply of bases on balls.
Out of seven men that faced him in
the first inning, he walked three of
them and hit one. forcing three men
over the plate. Wiley, the other new
recruit, was then sent In and he Jared
pretty well until the last three in
nings. and then he weakened ana with
the errors the visitors walked off with
the game with ease.
The Lanks could not hit Ludwig
and in only two innings did they get
a man on first base. In the second
Welsh hit safe with one down, but he
was taken at second on wiley's tap to
Ludwig. In the sixth Welsh hit safe
and stole second after Wiley was
down, Hoffman singled, scoring Welsh
and taking second on the throw-in.
He then stole third and home while
Weinberg was chewing the rag with
the umpire. Score:

Stupid Husband Of a Noted Sinoer.

Catalani's husband. handsome

Once, having found the pitch of the
piano too high, she said after the ro-
hearsal to her husband: "The piano is
too high. VIII you see that 1t is made
lower before the concerto when the
evening came Catalani was annoyed
to find that the piano had not been
altered. Her husband sent for the car
penter, who declared that he had saw
ed Off two inches from each leg, as
he had been ordered to do. Surely it
can't be too high now. my DEAR" said

Apropos of those who never enjoy

of little girl standing at Fifth ave-

She was n ragged little thing. and she
was watching the carriages rolling
past with the most wistful blue eyes.
"Well, little one," he said. would
you like to own one of those car
riages"
The blue eyes turned up. and there
were tears in their corners.
