Trolley League Notes.

And Gardiner Is still undefeated
The managers had a satisfied look,
yesterday, as they walked around with
their strong boxes.
Hallowell is reported to have again
strengthened its team by the acouisi-
ton of several new men.
A big crowd ought to turn out when
Augusta and Gardiner go up against
each other at the Driving park.
Everybody says the Augusta -Gardi-
iler game. Tuesday morning, was about
the best seen for years in these races.
The recent strengthening Of the Win
throp team was for the better. Win
managed to split even in the games,
Tuesday.
Winthrop has got three mighty good
infielders in Stanwood, White and Car
rigan. And the best part of it is, the-
know what bat is for.
Gardiner certainly has q fine team.
and with a clean record thus far, the
enthusiastic fans in Gardiner expect
they will land the league championship.
There are some lively base runners
in the trolley towns. Carey OF Hal
lowell, Messenger Of Gardiner and
Craig of Augusta. are pretty active
youths whenever they get on first.
Both games thar the Augustus have
lost, this season, have been close and
snow that the team is a good one and
Will be factor In the final standing at
the conclusion of the league season.
The Augusta team was out for prac-
.,f ha npit Il
Wednesday afternoon. and show the
result of considerable coaching. the
Improvement in team work being most
marked.
York of Winthrop is 4 steady pitcher.
His arm was lame Tuesday afternoon,
which doubtless helped Augusta In
hits. He is one of those men who
have their heads with them all the
time they are on the diamond.
That Remission (whichever one il
wds) that caught Tuesday afternoons
game for Augusta has Il great wing.
The way he caught Don White at sec
ond was the prettiest work seen yet
Don's 4 lively article OF nail. too
The Augusta Winthrop game sched-
uied TO be played OH the Driving park
grounds. Monday afternoon. has been
postponed until Wednesday, and the
postponed game between Augusta and
Gardiner Will be played in its stead.
Stanwood of winthrop is one of the
prettiest hltters that goes to bat in the
Trolley League. He keeps them down
and he puts the power behind them
that makes them lively things for an
infielder to handle, even if they are in
his route.
GOODNESS Of the experienced ball player.
Here's one Of his sOlilOquies to The
catcher while he was at bat at Win
throp, Tuesday morning. just as the
pitcher was delivering the ball: "Shaii
lamn 1t? No, l guess 1 won't" He
also has a way of rubbing dirt over the
end Of the bat when the pitcher il
sizing him up that like famous
sarSararilla is peculiar to itself"
A. c. Robinson of Gardiner. sends the
Journal the following answer to the Iues-
ton submitted to the Boston Globe base
ball editor regarding watson's balk in the
Augusta Hallowell game: "A. G. r.. Gar
direr. Mr.-YOur decision was correct uR-
der Section 3 of Rule "a. Making any mo-
ton of the arm. shoulder hip or body,
which the pitcher Ia Mutually makes in his
method of delivery. without Immediately
delivering the ball. The pitcher must
step directly toward the base he is
throwing to-" 1t would be well for all
|umpires to closely watch the pitchers

the Trolley League. composed of Guy
