Portsmouth, o., July 3l.-Iclty
My ers could not hold the Diggers and
Joe Lewls' hurler Mr. Goulait had the
Champs riding on his wagon. This
is the story of Sundays sad affalr in
nut she'll The crowd was dandy,
one of the largest Sunday gatherings
that the Cobbers have ever played to
at Mlllbrook, and to say that they
were disappointed at the showing OF
the team goes without saying. Myers
and Chlds were the ones they blamed
for the defeat the former for his
amateurlsh pitching and the latter for
not putting in one of his other FIVE
twlrlers when the southpaw showed
right off the reel that he had nothing,
that he could fool the enemy with
OF course the criticism was unjust for
Myers was pitching an ordinary game
and there was no occasion whatever
to spoil fresh pitcher as long as
the Champs could make no runs off
Goulait' This little fellow was a reg
ular bear cat.
Praise for GOulait.
Generally effective against the local
team. he was much more SO than us
from his NIT. His speed was more
than they could fathom and his dfop
ball was absolutely mysufying. When
some one did occasionally get on the
right handler simply put more on the
bali and the already large strike out
club was augmented by another mem
Der. He Is the sane steady hurler
who was overcome by the heat some
weeks ago and II was quite awhile
tffore he was again able to resume his
work on the mound. Those were the
days when the team was iloundering
around I'm the slough of despond.
When Goulait came around again and
was able TO deliver his old time brand
OF goods the team began to establish
hold In the select society which
they steadfastly continue to maintain
against all comers. Goulait Is a real
pitcher and there Is not team In
the league that would not he strength
ened IL they could land him. There
has been talk in the Lancaster papers
about Lewis trading him for Marshall.
No chance. Marshall Is a good pitcher
but he Is not in the Frenchmans
class.
Myers No Puzzle.
The game was not an Interesting
one and the big crowd was sadly dis
epointed Myers who held the Spring
field Prodigals in the palm of his
hand few days before, was the
easiest kind of proposition for the
Upstaters who banged out singles and
doubles II seemed whenever they want
cd to. With two out In the first round
Lallier lifted single over Chllds
hut he was left on first as the next
tatters could do nothing. Kelley
opened the second by Sending a dou-
BILE down the left foul line and he
went on to third on Weller's sacri-
fee to Edwards. 1t looked like a
sure thing for score but IIummell
Popped to Childs and Smith sent the
Ccbbler's leader an easy groundor. In
the next round Goulait emulated the
work of Kelley by driving to right for
IA pair of cushions. He foolishly tried
to steal third after Colllgan had al
lowed the umpire to call him out on
strikes and was nipped on Welny's
pretty throw to Conwell. Meehan then
sent Edwards a foul.
lAllier Doubles.
Just to keep-up good thing once
II was well started Lalller opened the
fourth with a peachy double which
stooted past third. Llnderheck hit an
easy rap to Myers who first turned
tc throw to third aud then changed
his mind and decided to give the ball
TO Edwards. But the big first sacker
was not on the baee so everybody
was safe. Kelley popped to Whalen
who purposely dropped the ball, fore
ing Linderbeck at second. Potts caught
the contaeion and made square mun
