for him to win the big stallion race at Beacon

that he might possibly get in one fast heat

magnificent game Of base ball vas played
here this afternoon between the Presumpcois
of this place and the Augustus. Over one
thousand people witnessed the game and
grew excited as the home team alternately
led and we're led. The home team scored
in the first inning. The Augustus scored their
first run in the third inning on hit BY Pushor
Who stole second and third and came in on
Pstterson's hit for single. One more score
they made in the fifth. Presumpsco, scored in
the sixth and all Cumberland Mills was cloth
ed in happy smile and sure Of
success. The next two innings were
devoid Of runs. but in the ninth Augusta
concluding that the time for action had ar.
rived, set up its old ra,tlns game. Ring
GOT his base on balls and made pitcher Webb
got first on a hit and both were advanced a
base on a short pass. Things looked mo st
Interesting. The audience Was fairly spell
bound ~ O'Brien came to the bat. He had
ger out of one Of webb's dazzling curves,
and when he stepped to the plate bat In hand
the small delegation Of Augusta men present
were confident that something would drop.
He hit it for as pretty single as ever caused
sigh to escape from pitchers lips and the
game was Suspended on the Augustus belt. |
II was a grand exhibition and the trio of
Augusta people in the audience fairly shook
themselves to pieces over the result. The
audience was enthusiastic over the brilliant
plays of its own team but with one exception
when the, gave Wilson an ovation a. he
stepped to the bat in the first inning, the Au.
gustas received but very little encourage
ment. They did not need it. Sullivan
pitched the same cool game that he always
does, holding the home team down to Ave
scattered hits. His support by Pushor
was fine that player aatching the
entire game without an error Of any kind
Notwithstanding the great playing OF the
team as a whole it was O'Brien's day all |
around. lie pounded the ball for two
singles and three-bagger and his fielding
WAS most superior. lie made q neat double |
play unassi sted and superior catch of high
thrown ball from Pushor. Considering that
he was suffericg from injuries received in
the Augusta Brookiine game, his playing was
most excellent. The umpiring of Burt WAS
impartial and satisfactory, but he was treated
to considerable guff by the audience. The
Augusta boys created a very favorable i'm.

used by the home team, and both would lik g
