Augusta, December 2s.-Augusta beat
Path this svening IL to in the hottest
game ever seen here. Despite the large
score in favor of the home team, the game
was interesting, Bath being unwilling
losers. For roughness nothing seen here
vet compares with this game. Scraps
were frequent and the Interference work
was the toughest of the season. The
game opened with one goal apiece, when
Augusta struck fast gait hy strong
team work, taking three straight goals
amid the widest excl ement. The Bath
team played well, out were outclassed.
Aupusts's all round work was rs good
as any vet presented here. Molumpy,
ugusta's new player, made some re-
mar ka BILE drives for goals. Hackett and
Jason played their usual stiff game. Lee
at half also distinguished himself.
"A ackett was knocked out by blow on
the head, a..d Molumpy by ball in the
stomach, but both resumed playing.
