Winthrop Knocks Down
Augusta Leaders, 10 to 6.
Augusta Out played at Every
Point Of the Game.
Made Same Number Of Total Bases, bul
Couldn't Field the Ball.

Winthrop, Ne. Aug. G-(SpeciaD-
Winthrop won from Augusta, yesterday.
by the score of 10 to 6. They won the
game just as easy as rolling off a log
or like taking money from Children
as one laconc crank expressed it. And
that was just about the facts. For it
was like taking u game from children,
i'll one respect ut least. ana that was in
Augustus fielding, for with one or two
exceptions the fielding of the visiting
team was like that Of children. and real
can play ban more or less. and in Au-
susta's fielding work, yesterday, the ac
cent was on the less.
Sill, not to be too critical. it might be
said that these same men can and have
Leen known T." play Silt-edscd ball. In
fact, the men who made the errors are
the ones usually depended upon by Au-
plsta to do the best work Perhaps they
will again, som" other day. But one
thing is ccrtiiiI-ticy did not. yesterday
and the result is hat Winthrop reioiccth
while Augusta sports may b" classed
with those that mourn.
The Ninthr"pS outplayed Augusta in
all depart merits of the game. They played
Il splendid fielding game, but two errors
being credited III their column. and the
throws TO lirSt were Of Il kind that would
please any crank. 1t was Il good deal
like clockwork. Perhaps as much credit
IS due I" tarrigan as any man. i'll this
respect. lie had five nice assists while
Eddie Files had an equal number. This
reminded one Of the work Of Augusta
by its contrast.
The only department in which Augusta
bore any comparison with Winthrop was
in the hitting. Here they got the same
number of totals-I0 each-and they
punched them sometimes-but tehy need
"a larger buucheS to win q game with
that fielding. ON the whole Files both
"rfl them enough to save the day.
The way Winthrop treated Watson was
rather Interesting. Part of the time they
made it hot for him and at others he
seemed to be in great form. Winthrop
did hit him part Of. the time however
when they really wanted to. This was
particularly true in til" seventh and
eighth innings, when. after two men
We're out they got III hits that melted
four runs. carrigan and Files doing the
stunt very nicely; in the fourth also the
home team got runs by connecting,
though in justice to Mr.. Watson II ought
To be chronicled that the men got on
bases by errorS-and that cant be laid
TO his door.
In base-stealing Winthrop did gilt
edged work, capturing five of the bags
III this way. while Abbott was the only
man from Augusta who succeeded in this
lin" of work
Winthrop played with its team changed
about somewhat from the past few
games, Files and Driscoll being the bat
terry. and Carrigan taking second and
Stanwood short Instead Of weakrning
the change seemed to do them good. for
they played one of the best fielding
games Of the year
the game was not an especially inter-
osting one. except in one respect That
