Park yesterday afternoon for the
jpening game in Marion--that per-
son ordered the weather and If that
tame person placed another order
With the gods, II was for the kind
II ball which both the Diggers and
he Reapers handed out to the fans.
Both the weather, the style of play
nd, the final score might be added
we're exceedingly pleasing to the
ans. The game ended two to one,
Iarion in the lead.
Goulait VS. HolllngswOrlh.
Managed O'Day warmed up Hol-
ingsworth and Boehler before the
'ontest and after taking a good
ook at both. he came to the con-
,lusion that the former was fit to
own the Diggers. Manager Louis
urned to Goulait, the Digger main
tay, and gave him the opportunity
retrieving the defeat he received
Il Springfield on the opening day in
hat city. Both pitchers were
redit to tho teams they represented
ioulait kept the hits we'll scattered
nd only once did his opponents bring
hem sufficiently close to push over
run but Goulait himself aided in
he pushing by hitting a batter.
Catcher Smiths Work.
The Digger, the fans were talking
,bout during the game and when
ver two fans chanced to meet after
he contest, was Smith. Apparently,
he Reapers had overlooked the peg
ing to first, second and third bases
Il this nifty little catcher, during
he Diggers sojourn in their city or
he lesson had not penetrated their
ates. However, the O'Day men
earned that in the future, they
must be very careful In their at
empts to steal bases while Smiths
YES are upon them. His throwing
yas next door to perfect, yesterday.
The Callers Score.
GoulaIt had fair weather up to the
ourth inning. In this round, with
wo men down, he hit Mckee. who
rotted TO first. Kendell the next
nan to face the pitcher, dropped the
phere in a safe territory for one
,ase. Keene stepped to the pan and
louted out another single which en-
tbled Mckee to find his way home
or the only Reaper run.
There was another stretch of fair
weather. for the Diggers until they
cached the eighth round Hummer
uggled bad grounder from owens
jat and allowed that Reaper to ar
i've at first before the ball. O'Day

ancing the runners.
owens attempted to score ON the
aueczc with Kendell up, but was
bout a rod from the plato when the
all lodged safely i'm Smiths init
nd was awaiting him when he Sid
