Hallowell lost to Gardiner on the
Muster field, Saturday afternoon, by
the score of 8 to 2. 1t was sweltcr-
ing hot day but there was one of the
largest crowds yet present at game
this season. Gardiner brought along a
lot of rooters and Hallowel's predica-
ment in the first part of the game gave
them an advantage and f1uency quite
overcoming. After an unfortunate be-
ginning, Hallowelrs hope seemed t.
have been quite eXtinSuished and the
repining fans and players looked in
vain for the silver lining TO the dark
cloud.
1t was a good day for Gardiner. A
palmist could have read the lines clear
~ and would have advised great I'M
del takings without caution. Under the
''mits" fortune had traced the word

rest.
There was a mean dog-day tempera-
ture of 81 degrees above when Pitcher
Robin tond the rubber and iugglcd the
first one for johnson, Gardeners first
man at the bat. Johnson waited and
walked. Dwyer stepped to the plate
very spry and he, too, waited and
found nothing better. Craig raised q
tiy to Robin, who took 1t easily and
threw Dwyer out at first. Turner took
his time and renewed the cake walk,
Messenger dittoing and filling the
bases. Scott was the man Of the min
ute for this situation and a quiet
scratch hit scored Johnson and Turner,
irI NNil1nx-
flied out to McBain.
Carey was first UP for Hallowcll and
his luck was with him. He scratched
to Scott who fumbed and allowed the
base. McDain reached first on an I'M
successful attempt to force, the ball be-
| ing slow in reaching second for the
double play, both Carey and McI5ain
being safe. McBain is accredited with
n hit for this tuln of events. PugSley
and NeWenham struck out. Arata sin

end stopped on second Dufresnc
struck out.
In the second, Harrington was given
his first sack on the four-ball count,
and it vas plainly evident that Robin
was 4 little out of tune. His curves
were erratic and not well controlled. In
short. he was not in practice and, as
might be expected with his luck to the
four winds, he failed to make good.
Wiley flied out to Newenham. Johnson
went out. pitcher to first, Harrington
going to third. Dwye.' stood pat for
one he could swipe but drew blank.
Harrington came home on a passed
ball. Craig spoiled the good ones and
walked. Dwyer having stolen second

Dufresne and Dwyer scored. At this
time Sparkle replaced Robin. Messen-

CATCHING Wild Horses.

The bronco is born fer the saddle.
but is given to resisting his fate, and
endeavors to make reciprocal the I'M
pleasantness with which human beings
are associated in his mind. Indians
first captured him by the simple pro-
cess of walking down through days
and nights of wild dashes and short
rests, Of interrupted meals, thirst and
anxiety, to final exhaustion. The
white mans system of catching wild
horses is essentially the same. Two or
more men, with supplies and swift
horses, work together. When herd is
sighted one man follows it for all he is
worth, while the others make camp.
When the horse of the lirst man is eX-
hausted he returns and another takes
his place. The herd, kept on the jump,
with little chance to eat, soon becomes
tired out, and is then easily driven To
the corral. This method Is practicable
because the herd wnile fleeing returns
to the same general locaiity.-CountrT

The last game of the season to be
played by the Gardiner High school

| was quite large. The carpenters at

off work at the opening Of the game
and the stand was thrown open for the
| first time, and in a few minutes every
seat was occupied, fully 200 people
taking advantage of the courtesy Of the
builders.
Hartman was in the pitchers box
| and he put up a hard fight against the
opposing team. Tie players on the
ether side had the advantage of weight
and they showed up much better on
Quimby diamond than on their own
home grounds, where they were defeat :
ed by the GARDENERS. In Pusha-d and

bats with the GARDENERS, this season.
and with sturdy team support they
started in TO wipe the little fellows off

for tire Gardirers ard although several

but big round ones until the ninth

Wiscassets showed up some men who

At the opening of the third the Wis
