Dickinson Pitches Good Ball, but Errors
Gives HaIIoweII Her Runs.

Augusta was trimmed by Halo
well, 2 to 0. at the Driving park
grounds. yesterday afternoon, in what
was one of the prettiest contests that
has been played in the Trolley League,
this year. 1t was fast game in every
respect. The contest abounded in
splendid pitching and fast fielding
two things that make up the gilt edged
article on the baseball diamond.
There was no hitting the pitchers
except once in while-and those
times, with a single exception, did not
count. That particular instance vas
in the case of Higgins. who put out
one Of Hallowelrs four hits when two
men were on bases. and scored two
runs.
To get hit that scores two runs is
not such a remarkable thing. generally
speaking, hut in a game that ran as
did that Of yesterday, with hits scarcer
| than Democrats in Hallowell. it was
Of the unusual order. and should make
young Higgins the idol Of Halloweil
boys and girls for a few days-at least
until he makes a nice costly error
sometime-and then it'll be different.
| AS said there was some fine fielding.
|
est honor among the IS heroes He
made two catches that were the real
thing, robbinS Halowell OF what
seemed certain hits. Then Penley had
busy day. having an unusually long
list Of assists and putouts. all of
which, with a single exception, he did
nicely. He had three put-outs in one
inning and was ready for more.
Honorable mention" should also be
made of Aldrich, who also fielded
drive that seemed certain hit in such
way as to bring applause from the
grandstand. Dickinson also did some
good fielding in the box.
| AS may have already been mistrust-
ed, the pitchers did great work. Au-
gusta could do nothing with Watson.
and 1allowell was in practically the
| same dilemma with Dickinson. With
| the exception of that hit of Higgins
to which we have already tipped our
hat. they did not execution whatever,
and moreover that came after Dickin-
son has given his co-workers a chance
to put a stop to Hallowell's capering.
AS for Watson. he must grow fat
when he thinks how he has played
horse with Augusta In these two games.
He's done It. BY grace or slippery elm
| and tho spit ball. or some other scheme
he has kept them guessing. Augusta
peopl,. don't understand 1t and look
sad HalIowelI people look sunny.
whether they understand it or not.
Anyway, il helps the interests in the
game to watch these little sideshows
of released men getting back at their
old team mates.
The game WAS worth its price. Here's
hoping thlre'll BE- another good cne.
