Muscle vs.. Mind.


A large audience witnessed the first game be-
tween the Bowdoins and Augusta Reds played
yesterday upon the grounds in this city. To call
it one OF the most exciting contests ever played
in this city would not 90 very far from tie truth,
and the conc usion of the game in so abrupt a
manner was a great disappointment. At the be-
ginning, the Bowdoins, who are fine players, took
q good lead, the score standing TO on the
first inning. But the excellent batting of the
Reds and careful field play ing soon caused grad
ual drawing up" the Bowd0ins still slightly
ahead, until the ninth inning arrived and the
score stood Bowdoin IL, Augusta 10. Then the
visiting club went in for their ninth and last
chance to score, but they failed to make a run,
this being the sirh whitewssh given them by the
Reds. The Augustus want in on their last inning
with only to tie and 2 to win: relying on their
heavy ba,ters at this exciting point of the contest
they felt certain of victory. llOyt, q
good batter, took the willow. A nice ball was
pitched, and the leathern sphere was sent swiftly
fying to the right field. The right fielder
of the Bowdoins obtained it, and threw it
to the first. Whether the man or ball
arrived there first is a disputed point; but those
who stood nearest the base considered II clear
"out." The umpire called it mot out" and the
Bowdoins Instantly threw up the game. The
umpire, Mr.. Libbey, with whom no one could
have found fault in previous judgments, and who,
without donbt, meaut to do the correct thing in
this, offered to change the decision at the socia.
