[By Telegraph TO The TrIbnne. ]

Marlin. Tex. March 20-The hitless
wonders commanded by Larry DOYLE
bowed to a fourth straight defeat TODAY.
when Mike Donlin's colts shut them out
in the annual benefit game for the ath
letic association Of the Marlin High
School. The score was TO O.
The high school boys had expected 70
play the Giants to-day, but Doyle Der
suaded them to withdraw their challenge
SO that he could show the colts their
place and subdue them for all time The
gate receipts went TO the schoolboys. but
the game went to Donln, even though
Doyle drafted Snodgrass and Harrison for
the regulars. Toward the finish the ef-
forts OF the losers TO get just one run
were pitiful.
In the eighth inning OF last Tuesday,
game the regulars scored two runs. They
have since gone nineteen consecutive TIM
ings without scoring, and the thing has
gone far beyond the joke stage for Doyle
The 10y OF Mike Donlin, however, is IN
confined.
Captain Nike did not anticipate q vic
tory to-day when the batting orders OF
Herring, the Long Island schoolboy. was
assigned as his first pitcher. The weather
was cloudy and cold, and Kip" who is
a six footer, smoked them over with great
speed He had splendid control. too,
neither passing nor hitting a batter In
six innings the regulars made only three
singles. and Herring received perfect sup
port in the field until the sixth. Burns
got two Of the hits and Snodgrass the
other.
Westerwick, the big left-hander, was
assigned to the regulars, despite Doyle's
protest that the youngster has a kink In
his arm. Had Westerwick been as well
supported as Herring he might have
gotten by, but three errors and four bases
on balls proved his undoing. The colts
made all Of their six hits while he occu-
pied the box.
The score was 4 to when fresh pitch
ers were sent in. Doyle hoped for better
things then, but threw up his hands when
McGraw sent Demaree in to finish for the
colts and replaced Westerwick with
Hearn. In Tuesdays game Hearn was
punished for nine runs in one inning, but
he redeemed himself to-day by allowing
no one to reach first base in the last two
innings.
Herring gave a splendid account Of
himself to-day. He famed only one man,
but issued no bases on balls, although he
was using plenty of speed. Johnson did
all the catching for the colts, as LAIR,
Mclean is still suffering from the wild
pitch that Louis Drucke planted over his
heart in Wednesdays game. Big Larry
did the umpiring to-day
The only time the Doyle clan threatened
to score was in the sixth, when Donlin
let a hit by Burns get away from
him for the only error his team made.
Burns stole third and attempted to score
when Stock tossed the ball away, but Tim
Jordan made quick recovery and caught
him at the plate.
The colts scored twice in the third
inning on Herring's infleld hit, tumble
by Merkle, Grants infleld hit and Muir
rays force Of Donlin. Piez opened the
last half Of the fourth by beating out
pretty bunt, advanced to third on Stocks
walk and Johnson's sacrifice, and scored
when Chief Meyers threw high trying 70
catch him off third base.
Grant started the fifth with two
Dagger, the only extra base hit Of the
game, and counted on another bad throw
by Meyers and Donlin's safe bunt
John ]. McGraw and the regulars, a
they lined up to-day, departed at mid
night for Dallas The pitchers for that
expedition are Marquard, Fromme, Ties
reau and Schauer. Dick Kinsella viii
conduct Donlins team to Waco to-mor-
row. Mathewson, Demaree, Schupp and
williams will do the hurting against the
Waco team. Palmero, the Cuban, was TO
have accompanied one of the teams, bur
reported sick to-day and did not go ouf
for practice. He has a severe cold and
his throat is badly swollen.
The score by innings follows:
RHE
Colts 10 0 0 x-4
