l Young Lefty Cooper was all smiles
yesterday and the large crowd that
turned out to see Ed Zmich. the form
or Marion favorite, cavort about his
old stamping grounds, was also de-
lighted The cause Of the joy was
another victory over the Chiricothe
Babes-a clean victory pounded out
by timely hammerlng Of the ball. At
the conclusion of the struggle, the
score board showed 4 to ?.
Cooper had right to smile FOR not
only did I've uutpitch the big Chilli
cothc southpaw but he held the Babes
to three singles up to the ninth in
ming and to two safe swats during the
final period. As Cooper outpitched
Zmich so did the Digger batters out
hit the Babes They banged the pill
for eight safcties and, as evidence Of
their timely hitting, they made all
but two of them figure in the run get
ting.
One Donation.
The Diggers received but one dona-
tion and that was unsolicited. They
didn't need It to win. 1t came in the
NTH when tally was registered
which probably would not have been
scored but for an erring Babe. Catcher
Reilly threw to Whacn to catch Lin
dcrbecll when he pilfered third but
the ball hit the dirt enroute and
Whalen failed to stop it. Lindy scor-
ed on the miscue. All other runs
were earned by substantial clouts
from Digger war clubs.
Cooper drifted into tight places but
always managed to eXtricate himself
from the entagloment without damage
except in the ninth snning when
homer from Kelley's hat scored the
two Babe counts His efforts and
that of his teammates along this line
often brought round of applause
from the fans. Cooper walked Foutz
the first man to face him. Wrigley
sacrificed him to second. Fans had
visions of runners crossing the nome
plate when Kiber started one or
Cooper's offerings on journey nut
the liner was nailed by Hummel be-
fore il hit the ground, Hummel, eVi-
IDENTITY thinking that the Umpire might
call the catch a pickup, make the
play safe by throwing to Kelley to
retire Kibler. Kelley assisted In the
play by throwing Foutz out at sec
ond. Foutz had started toward third
when the ball was hit and was un-
able to return.
Babes Threatening.
peilIv reached first on what should
have been an out If Kelley had not
slipped in attempting to reach the pas
ar had Cooper covered the first sack
I'm time. The catcher advanced 10
third but no further. The other Bape
batsmen were harmless during the IN
ming.
A fast double play by the Diggers
cut off Chillicothe's chances of scoring
in the fourth after Zeke Wrigley had
| been walked.
II was i'm the sixth that Linderbeck
broke into the who's who column.
He caught a long fly from Foutz's bat
bv running toward the fence, jumping
into tho air and grabbing the sphere
ON its downward journey. The eaten
prevented Zmich from scoring alter
he had singled. Wrigley grounded out
and Lindy retired the side by catching
| Kihler's fly,
The first Digger count came In the
fourth. Kelley hitting right handed
smashed the first ball pitched over
the shortstop's head for one sack.
Hummel sacrificed him to second ana
he scored on Weller's single which
was a trihe too high for Zeke To stop
although he made II great effort
Two runners crossed the JOY pan

failed at attempting to beat out

fection. While Kelley was at bat
Lindy stole third and came home on
Reilly's error.
