come ono Of considerable moment, and
the attempt of the visitors to tie the
score i'm the ninth held the spectators
| in close attention.
Gardiner came UP with the intention
of carrying off the honors. and to this
end brought new pitcher, Ready. who
has been doing the twirling for the
Watervillc team. He proved to have
| considerable speed. but the Augusta
boys had no difficulty i'm finding him,
and secured six good hits which count
cd considerably in the final summing
Up.
Harry Remission was in the box for
Augusta. and although his work show
cd at times that he was not feeling az
bis best. the GARDENERS succeeding i'm
touching him up for nine hits. it was
81 pleasure to see the smile on his face
when his opponents failed to get on
to his curves. He was well supporte
throughout the game.
| Messenger proved the heavy hitter
for the visitors, getting three hits out
| of four times up, enc being three
Dagger and one a two, making total
of six Stone also secured two good
singles and the batting of the visitors
was on the whole a great credit to
| them.
| Dickinson also got three hits out of
| four times at bat. one being good for
| tow bases. and he also brought in two
| of the five runs made in the first two
| innings His fielding of his position
was done with ease and telling results.
Another man who covered his terri
tory in most satisfactory manner was
| Abbott VINO was in the proper place
every time, securing a total of four
put Outs.
| A feature which made considerable
trouble for the visitors was the poor
playing of Purinton in the second in
| ming. having three errors to his credit,
| all i'm Il string, giving the home team
| a lead. which. although no more sCOr :
ing was done. was not tied during the
game.
| The cry of Nobody walks today"
proved a mistaken forecast. as each
pitcher made a present to three men.
| and the number of strike outs was not
| large on either side Of the ledger. Will
ley's work on first was up to the usual
| standard. and though he mad one error.
| there was also a record of IA putouts.
| which is not one to be ashamed of.
