for Virginia and Kellar for Winona,
that was not decided until Freddie
Greisich famed in the ninth inning,
Lefty Davis ball crew defeated the
Ore Diggers yesterday afternoon at
Olcott park by score of 3 to 2.

opportunity was offered for sensa-

a trio of grooved balls but was un-
lucky and could not connect. If he
had-but what's the use.
Carter Wilson, the new finger that
Taylor signed up this week made
terday's struggle and pitched a great
game. With perfect support not a
run would have been counted against
him. AS it was he allowed only five
hits and showed good form all the
way. He is steady-going HEAVIER.
