proved to be as exciting as you would
care to see. Wells was in the box for
the home. team and demonstrated that
he can pitch as we hoped he would,
the other day. The game also brought
out the most sensational play seen here
for years, a triple out by Veitch, Handl-
Doe and Butman. when,with no one out
and bases full, we retired Belfast with
out a score. In the afternoon it was
all Augustus way till the eighth, when
Belfast scored four runs and was lit
tie too near for comfort. Weekes was in
the box for Augusta and Augusta won,
In the morning, the attendance was
light. owing to most of the places of
business being open, but in the after
noon splendid audience was present
nearly 1900 people.
We scored in the first and sixth.
Schrecongost was first up and he
commenced by hitting two or three
fouls to left Catcher Webster then
showed his knowledge of the game by
having the fielders moved toward left.
Shrec then showed what he knew about
hitting the ball by driving it out into
deep right field for three bases, while
the crowd advised Webster ito move
over" Veitch hit to Regain who threw
poorly to third to catch Schrec. The

and Schrec came home, Veitch going to
second Delaney retired on a fly to
Gastonguay in right, Veitch going to
third. Butman then cracked a single
down over second, and Veitch scored.
Handiboe gave McDermott an easy fly.
Hanscom got to first on McBride's
muff and Conner was out, Regain to
Mezena.
We were BANKED right along till the
sixth. Wells went to first on McDer-
motifs tumble of a grounder, Schre-
COMPOST hit to left in the grass for two
bases. Veitch fouled out to Webster.
Delaney went out, McDermott to Me
zena, and Wells scored. Butnam died,
Regain to Mezena.
Belfast failed to reach the home
plate, though they frightened us in the
sixth. Mezena was given four balls.
Colopy singled to left. Regain was
given first. Bases full and no one out.
Regain had two balls and two strikes
called. The next one was beauty and
he hit it with a swing that started the
ball for the track out over Veitch's
head. 1t was fully two feet over his
head and rising all the time.
SO safe did it look that each base
runner started for the next station, and
there's where Veitch fooled in, for he
made leap, caught the ball in his
left glove, came down, made lightning
throw to Handiboe. catching Collopy
and Handiboe did the same to Butnam
catching Regain, and the game was
over by one of the handsomest tripl,
plays ever made. 1t was simply beau
