AUGUSTA, II; GARDINER, 5.
Home Team Falls Before Hall and Wis
TORS Heavy Batting.

, The Gardiner baseball team made an
other attempt at the game on the
Quimby Athletic field, Saturday after
noon, with the Augusta team as oppo-
nents. There We're times when some
of the spectators thought that the
home team knew some of the points of
the game, but there We're more when
| they showed that they We're terribly
| lacking in the others. Errors We're
/ many and the most of them We're cost
| ly. Again when there We're men on
bases, some of the runners entirely
| avoided the coaCherS and tried some
grand stand plays that retired them
quickly and easily. On the whole, the
game, as far as the GARDENERS were
concerned, was farce. The Augusta
team played u good game and support
ed each other in great shape. Hall, the
Augusta pitcher did splendid work and
easily pulled out of several tight places.
The first inning started with Augusta
at the bat. Marshman, the new pitcher
| for the Gardiner team allowed Phelan,
| the first man up, two-base hit, and
| then Craig, the next man, got single,
sending Phelan to third. Here is where

, ing second, he threw to Messenger and
went wild, allowing both men to score.

BartolI to Munro. Nichols hit a single
and Jackson struck out. On players
choice, Simpson reached first, Nichols
came in and Simpson got down to third
