favorable in the afternoon; but never
theless a goodsized crowd was in at
tendance ready to root for the home
team. The Bangor management had
reserved Wheeler for this game and
he was expected to do up the Augustus
in short order. 1t was evidently not

cream for the Augustus. They pounded
him all around the lot. far harder in

n base on balls. Simon was thrown out
at first by johnson. Sharrott made a
safe hit, and Henry followed with an
other scoring Radford and Sharrott.
