Again Joe Lewis band OF second
placers wreaked vengeance on Van
Patterson's cellar champions for those
two games the latter bunch of ball
tossers copped while the Diggers were
sojourning In Hamilton some days
ago. Yesterdays slugging match,
which was marked with some freaky
baseball, went to the Diggers by a
score of to 4. However, the COM
petition was much closer than the
score indicates.
Number 10 was exceedingly lucky
for the Diggers but acted in It's usual
capacity for the visitors. The num-

tillery engagement.
Three Mcn Steal Home.
Base stealing and the Mechanics err
rors had as much to do with the one
sided score as did the amazing reg
ular arrival of timely hits. Seven
sacks were pilfered by the Digger
runners and three of this number ad-
ded to the Digger score as LallicT

natured youth named Durham topped
the mound for the callers and besides
being ioted a number of times by the
Digger batters, did not receive the
best of 9upport by any means. Len
Fielder West dropped a fly In the very
first inning that cost one run. Hobbs
failed 10 hang on to one of Dunham's
pegs to second .in the third and paved
the way for another tally. Beswick
threw wide to Connell in the fifth,
opening the gates for Hummel to pass
through home.
SencT Strong Until the Sixth.
Sen. did the twirling for the Dig
gers and stopped the Mechanics with
an allowance of four hits and no
scores, striking out six of the Patter-
son warriors up to the sixth inning,
after that round he weakened before
the callers assault and was handled
in a way that caused the fans to give
thanks that his teammates had gath
cred a goodly lead IN the first three
innings and had added to 1t In the hfth
and sixth. He was hammered to all
corners OF the lot in the sixth, seventh
and eighth but fortunately the Me-
ohanlcs didn't turn many of the hits
into runs.
The counting In the first inning was
done after two batters had been re-
tired. Lalller singled and advanced
TO third when Llnderbeck poked a
one-bagger to left. With Kelley al
