O’NEILL WINS THREE STRAIGHT FROM VERDIGRE O’Neill won its eleventh game in the last twelve played and the last of five straight Sunday afternoon by defeating Verdigre at Verdigre by a score of 5 to 4. It was the third de feat Verdigre has suffered at the hands of O’Neill, the first by a score of 14 to 9, the second by a score of I to 0 and this one by the score men tioned. Incidentally all three defeats were administered to the Knox county men by Ed. Allen, O’Neill’s star southpaw, and it was the second suc cessive time in the series of three games that Mr Allen has humiliated Wiggington, the crack Schuyler and Omaha hurler now under contract with the St. Louis Cardinals, Wig gington pitching the last two games for Verdjgie. The battle was a hotly contested one from start to finish, be ing a battle of the moundsmen. The game was witnessed by a large crowd and the story of the victory is five sacrifice hits by O’Neill to one by Verdigre, four of the O’Neill sacri fices bringing in runs and the fifth* advancing the runner to be brought in by a clean hit following. The two hurlers retired 18 men by the strike out route, Wiggington striking out II and Allen 7. Hits off Wiggington were 8 and off Allen 10. O’Neill— ABEHE F. Doyle, cf _ 3—1—1—0 E.
