Marionites lost no time i'm starting
on the highway ovictory during the
fray at the park Friday afternoon
and at the termination Of the nine
round journey seven runs had been
slowed away in the Digger satchcl.
Tho best the opposing Reapers could
do In the way of tally collecting was
to push one run past the counting sta
tom And this all happened before
their owner. w. IL. Watkins who
dropped in town from indianapolis
to witness the game.
Hollngswcrth was O'DaVs choice

work the DAY before, perhaps because

finished games after others had got
ten into trouble. In the last innings
of the game YESTERDAY he seemed
worn out and this probably accounts
for the manner In which he lobbed
the ball over the pan, trusting To his
ncldcrs to grab the Diggcrs' smashos.
Five Hits aud Two Counts.
Hixon was nothing of puzzle, for
he was touched To the extent of ten
bingles during the time he reigned on
the mound. The Diggers avenged a

during the last call they made in
the Reapers' camp by this same
Pitcher Illxon The Digger fire was
thickest in the sixth. A quintet Of
singles was productive of two counts
All were short grounders and two OF
them were hunts which were beat to
