The Marion daily mirror. (Marion, Ohio) 1892-1912, 1910-07-25
(By s. r.. Godden)

Sunday after those dire happenings of
Saturday, probably to show the big
crowd that they are not to hit any
toboggan just because a few highty
minutes happened to give away a
ball game Chillicothe was on the.
small end of nine-two game which
was much closer than the score seems
to indicate.
Our pastimers were i'm front all of
the journey but Chillicothe kept on
coming and It required sharp Digger
action to keep the lead. The contest
was made safe in the seventh and the
eighth was a batting exhibition the
like of which has not been seen at
the patch for many days. In that big
eighth seven Diggers hit safely and
two of the raps were doubles. These
with a stolen base and an error mix
ed in netted FIVE runs and made the
contest tame.
NJ. Goulait, our French friend, was
hardly at his best in the opening en-
counter with the Babes but there
were moments when Snooze and his
throwing machine did magnificent
work. Goulait's wildness nd the
tendency of the Infant swat boys to
get on in every inning made some of
the defensive battling mighty difficult.
Perfect support was accorded Goulait,
the one Digger error causing no par
ticular trouble. Some mighty sweet
playing by the Diggers cut down run
ners who were trying to advance and
Goulait was helped out thereby and
Chillicothe kept from overtaking our
athletes.
Mr.. Sullivan, who boasts of some
bowery accomplishments and is said
to be one of the highest salaried pitch
ers in the league, stood on the Chill
licothe hill. His control was excel
lent. He hardly missed bat i'm the
eighth inning. In three innings he
kept Marion hitless but in the sew
