one to tie. And the ninth, Three men
on bases and Willie Boardman at the
pat was enough to make us feel nerv-
Gus at least But the fatcs and Mr.
Dupee's wing of iron were with us
and victory, which has been on an ex
pi"ring expedition to the moon or some
equally distant place. perched on the
banners of Manager Leighton.s trium
?hant aggregation.
At last Augusta has had chance tn
see Dupee pitch and everyone SAYS he
is all right. Speed? Why, that bow
seems capable of throwing ball right
through man of McBain's somewhat
slight build. But then we all know
what a wiry man our Hallowell stone
wall backstop is and he hung onto Du

The whole team showed great and
! wondrous improvement over Tuesdays
exhibition and their work brought
back the old-time enthusiasm to the
hearts of the Augusta ball cranks and
they were ready to hooray like fun.
The boys played good ball and had the
crowd with them for it was evident
that they were in the game to win.
Manager Leighton has a shining star
in left garden in the shape of McIn-
tyre. He was right in his element. yes
terday. and sensational catches of
difficult drives seemed to be matter
of course with him. 1t is doubtful. if
fielder was ever seen on an Augusta
ball ground who could excel him. Au-
gusta may well be thankful for some
of his wonderful catches. yesterday. for
the result of the game might have been
different had they not occurred.
Lewiston's center fielder. New
Brunswick boy by the name of lib

making three star catches and three
hits. This veteran of the South Afri-

the box for Lewiston, today, and
Buster Burrill will catch.
For Augusta. Lew Cross will twirl
and Campbell may have a try in the
box. Campbell is Whitefield boy, well
known in Augusta. He pitched num-

catch.
Suppose we take another scalp from
Lewiston. today. The boys are going TO

shouldn't do it. Yesterdays game

Augusta didn't score in the first in
ming and one Lewiston man crossed the
plate, Boardman scoring on Wise's hit.
In the second Powers pitched just
three balls. and as many men were out
but Dupec did even better. He struck
out the first three men up. The pail
went over the plate like peas and how
the crowd did cheer.
But the third was the inning for
cheering. Talk about batting. Why.
