Muster field diamond. Thursday, by
the score of S to 4. in fast game. 1t
was a game full of snap and ginger and
was really spectacular from the grand
stand. Hallowell took the lead in the
seventh through costly errors by Au-
gusta's out fielders. and while their
chances narrowed, Hallowell continued
the hot pace and won out decisively on
vitality, energy and general principles.
Old Sol had hand in the game also.
when he peeped right into Cap Wiley's
eyes ds he was trying to field rising
liner Cap saw the ball start and put
up his hands, but the sun blinded him
SO that that was all he knew about 1t
till the ball struck him in the neck,
bruising the skin. Had he posted those
claws about three inches higher the
ball would have nestled in his nit
without coaxing. Cap almost cried ove:
the affair.
Patten delivered the sphere for Hal
lowell and was steady throughout the
game allowing six hits with a total of
seven bases. He was at all times awake
tofthc call for cool work and hits were
judiciOusly scattered, only one being
available for talley after the first
inning.
Remission was in good form for Au-
gusta to use time-worn phrase, and
this fairly expresses the fact. His sup
port was good until the fatal seventh
when three scores for HallOwell,
changed his countenance and gave him
a cold sweat. His courage seemed to
take wings also. but he rallied in the
eighth, getting two strike-outs and al
| lowing only one hit. Pitching counts
but support is always necessary. There
are good batters in the Trolley League
| and it's not all the time that they are
fooled by erratic delivery.
Blair in his regular position second
| base. for Hallowell, played his usual
snappy game and in the eighth covered
himself with glory and red dirt when
he caught and held Moody's high line
drive. Blair is always agile but this
| time he seemed to fly few feet into
the air and then throw a double SOM
| ersault which brought him up stand
| ing though a trif1e dazed. If he had
| muffed it. it could not have been an
| error. and it's value as a hit for Au-
| Susta was the tieing run which 1t
| would have made on Files hit.
In the sixth inning Blair was retired
on a deep fly to Abbott. The ball was
captured only after long run and a
| headlong stumble, but it stuck to Alb
| bolts nit and he received the plaudits
of everybody for the great play. The
| story of the game:
| First inning-Craig hit by pitched
| ball advanced to second by Abbott's
sacrifice. Penley out. Higgins to New
enham, advancing Craig to third, the
score beng made on wild pitch. Cow
an singled and Wiley brought him

scored Wiley. Wiley scratched, Moody
going out at second. For Hallowen:
Newenham walked. Carey struck out

gins scratched and Newenham was
