Lima. o.. June l4.--Eddie Donald's
walldp to the right field fence with
two on in the ninth inning yesterday
put another crimp In the hopes of
Joe Lewis Dlggers and made Il pos
aible for the home team TO come out
from behind and finish on the long
end Of a 1919 score. Officially Don
aids gets credit for three -base hit
for the winning run came from first
base, although 1t could have caoily
been made a home run drive.
Yesterdays trounclng lacked none
of the artistic coloring that was pres
ent In the contest the day before. II
was an uphill fight for the locals az, F.
er the thiri inning and those bugs
who like to see plenty Of smuggling and
exciting climaXea surely got n run for
their money. Sixteen bingles were
'cornbed or the puzzling slahts dis
pensed by bridegroom Senen Long
taking the lend I'M punishing the pill,
".," ScnciT Gets Poor support.
SenGis pitched whdt would have
heen winning game under ordinary
circumstances hut he was not able
IN cone with the timely fire which
.Sapdheer, Long. Donalds AMI Nesser
staged. Some very iyory-dome plays
awere also pulled of by the Digger de-
tense, that of LipderbGck In the eighth
when he threw home TO catch a rum
ner Yhen he could easily have dou-
bled a man at fret being the most
nagrant. Tho support az the oppos-
ing hurler was hardly above that Of
a class u circuit probably due to the
fact that the Dlggers never just knew
what the iejuVenated Beans were go-
ing to pull'eg ~. .I.,I.
Senior Geuro Casas was picked by
Manager Osborne to tame the Diggers
but the visitors found him easy and
he retired from the scenery in the
fourth, after nine hits had brought
the Diggers Ave runs. II the Mexican
had been allowed TO continue. the
contest would probably have gone to
the other side of the ledger, but what
ball game does not furnish a lot Of
answers to that little word '!f" The
Dlggers were Just warming up TO the
Mexican right when ne He'd for the
shelter of the bench in the fourth,
with two down.
Donalds proved just the man for
the place. He retired the side with
out further scoring i'm the fourth and
the visitors only manifested ten
dency to get gay with his offerings In
two innings The big twirler coppcd
his days performance by polling out
one Of the longest hits that has been
seen ON tae local lot this season.
Mccall Considered.
Senem had few Clances To c9nrt ana
he was headed for the milky way scN-
eraI times during the closing rounds.
At one time Joe Lewis contemplated
sending chief Mccall to the slab but
he thought better Of II and allowed
the bridegroom TO stick to the task.
Broadsides almost iattened Senen In
the seventh and eighth, but he re-
turned TO the slab with renewed con-
ndence in the ninth when the Dig
GERS had gone to the front once more
by scoring a run In their hair OF the
last frame. A deadlock had been reg
lstered by the locals i'm the eghth
and an extra inning session had beeil
promised until the Diggers scored
one by clean binglng
Numerous tense situations enllVeh-
ed The combat and Umpire Goehler
was called upon to make number
of close decisions. Some of them
were against the nome club Whlle
others were In favor of the locals
.Goehler was as infall4bie as II Is pos
sible for human to be and the Dis
gers really had no Kick coming oh
any Of his decisions, even thonGn l1ll-
