Great |0-inning Contest
From Gardiner, 3 to z.
Pen|ey Wins Game With a
Hot Liner in the Tenth.
Harry KeRniston Pitches Fine Came Every
Man Plays Ball,

Augusta won one Of the most inter-
esting and exciting ball games of the
season. at the Driving Park grounds,
yesterday afternoon, from the Gardi-
ner team, by a score of to 2 in 10
inning contest. Excitement seems
mild way to put the expression OF the
enthusiasm that ran rampant during
the entire game and one could easily
see that it was a game to be won on
its merits from the first ball thrown to
the end. when Penley won the game
by "Corking' hit over second.
1t was ball game from start to fin
ish. one Of those games that form
foundation for heart disease later in
life and ball crank who could Wit
ness such contest without being ex-
cited in some degree-well. he would
be a candidate for the sick list. And
the wind-up, coming as 1t did, with
two strikes called. two out and a man
on second-well, those who know Au-
gusta sports can imagine the smiles
that wreathed their faces as they left
the ground, and OH the other hand
Gardiner fans We're correspondingly de-
spondent.
The boys PLAYED ball from start to
finish, not only the boys in red. but the
visitors and it is no disgrace to lose
such a contest and will only add to the
interest in the outcome of the game in
Gardiner, today. between the same
teams.
Harry Remission "put-'em-over" for
Augusta while Augustus old rival
Kane. was in the box for the visitors.
and both pitched ball from start to
Sat a oh hy- 10
| catchers, and in fact the entire teams.
| They pitched q contest that will go
down in the annals of Trolley League
ball as one of the best games of the
present season.
"Kenney" had the shade the better
| of the argument, inasmuch as he struck
out four men and had seven assists to
his credit when the battle was over.
| Sullivan played q perfect game and
| his throwing TO the bases had a great
| deal to do with the final result.
Kane struck out two n"n and had
| three assists. while Augusta secured 10
| hits off his delivery with a total of IL
| bases Stone caught for Gardiner and
while he has two passed balls to his
| credit. they were i'm a away excuSa ble,
| as Stone has recently injured his hand.
To enumeratc the many good yes,
| perfect plays of the game would be a
| repetition of the story by innings which
| follows. but the catch of doc" Alb
| bolt of Wilder's fly in the ninth was
perhaps enc of the most sensational
plays of the game. for the ball was
| captured only after q, long. hard run.
Then Penley'S work was ono of the fea-
lures. too. He played perfect ball and
| his one-handed catch, at second. retir-
| ing Clason. in the eighth inning. was
grand. To add to this good work he
made the hit that won the game and
brought joy to the hearts of the Au-
gusta fans and to use the common ex-
preston used after the game: "Penley
| is all right"
Ready streng thened the team and
while his plays We're not of the sensa-
| tlonal order he was always there at the
| right time and backed UP Sullivan in
great style.
The game is over and Augusta is at
| the head Of the league standing. and
Will meet the Gardiner team again in
battle royal at Gardiner this after
noon. and 1t Is the earnest hope of all
| loyal Augusta fans that they will re-
turn VICTORIOUS. The story of the game:
