Lima, May 27.-Glenesco Casas
did better job of rescuing a suffer-
ing hurler than did Lefty" Cooper
I'm the opening game with Marion,
yesterday. AS a result Lima scam
pered away through the heat with a
159 win. Going in the game after tive
hits and two errors had allowed the
Diggers to score three runs in the
fourth the Mexican pitched one ball,
causing the side to be retired on q
fast double play. The same kind of
support was with him all the rest of
the game and he got by with only four
hits being registered off of him.
Munk started the game for the
Beans. He retired the side in order
in the first inning. was touched up a
trifle I'm the second and was hit hard
in the third. Five hits brought four
runs in this frame and the Diggers
were getting to Rudy when the tall
Mexican was sent TO the rescue with
one down in the fourth.
Seneff didn't last as long as Munk.
The locals did not tarry a bit about
going after him and four hits netted
as many runs in the very first inning
Three hits brought an equal number
of runs in the following inning and
after Chick Long had got home run
and Hlnte had tripled in the third in
ming he was sent to the barn.
Cooper's southpaw delivery got him
by hitless for two innings. He was
found for homer and several singles
in the sixth which brought six runs
around the circuit. One would have
been sufficient to win for after the
home team had broken the tie the
Diggers were beaten, Casas held them
at arms length.
Heavy Hitting.
The game would have delighted the
fans who love to see heavy hitting.
Two home runs. six triples and four
doubles enlivened the session. Lima
got sixteen hits, while the Diggers got
but two less. Beans hit at more op-
perfume times. Dlggers were not dis
couraged by the lead taken by the To-
calls and kept plodding away until
they tied up the score in the fourth.
II was case of too much heavy
hitting when hits spelled runs that
proved the undoing of the visitors.
Houtz lashed out two hits, one a hom-
er, and crossed the pan four times.
Every man on the team drove Coop
er's southpaw offerings to the far
corners of the lot excepting McClin-
took and Newton in the eventful
eighth.
Chick Long was a whole force at
the bat. He got a home run and a
triple. Nesser and Hinte also col
Elaborated with the swatting and Nc
Clntock was the only man that went
hitless through the game. The To-
Gals did not drop in order in any in
ming, having men on the paths each
frame.
Nesser counted on Merchants single
and the Columbus lad romped home
when Newton hit to middle.
Munk trapped the first hit of the
second inning just as soon as he came
to bat, singing to left Hinte sacrl-
feed him. McClintock flied out to

The Osborne crew was then held
hitless and runless for two innings
Houtz opened the sixth with a homer
to the center field fence. This was
the only run and although Nesser got
on through Hummels error he per-

The awful fussilade in the eighth
was started by Houtz who doubled 10

nice single along the third base line
