ball team met defeat for the seconi
consecutive time, "Wednesday aftci II
noon, on the Driving park grounds, !"
to |, at the hands of the winthrop
team. Aside from the first Inning. Wiz n
all the runs of the game were scored,
it was good contest, but the first
half Of that inning was Eeart-ren1irS
TO tho local enthusiasts. Three hits,
sacrifice and an error By Penley were
responsible for Winthror's runs, and
after that Watson steadied down and
pitched a fine game and besides that
the boys behind him played the game
most Of the time in the field. But at
the bat il WAS case of tanning out
when hits We're needed.
There is something about the Au-
susta tear that is lacking. II may be
what is commonly called by the fans,
Augusta luck" but it is fact that
III recent games errors have come
along at the wrong times. 1t was the
same way with hits. The Augusta team
batted for eight with a total of ten.
but all were scattered with the exc ep-
ton of the eighth, when two came
| along together. Craig hit fair and
Vas followed by Abbott with double
out Craig was coached in on too long
| chances and was caught on the home
plate.
Tho contest WAS 4 pretty one to
| watch. there being but 4 few runs
| made ami while there were several
| errors, the brilliant fielding at times
| more than made up for that
Tho pitchers both pitched a good
| game and watson s. cured ciGNt strike
| outs while his opponent Irish had nine
and with this allowed but one base on
talls and the verdict of all enthusiasts
present was that both pitchers are fast
| enough for the ordinary run of bats
| men in the Trolley League.
The umpiring as las been noticeable
| III all games Of the Trolley League
| thus far was questioned and question:
| ed frequently. not by the protests OF
| the players but by the Tagging fans
| 1t was. no Never. as good as the ordin-
,ry but without doubt the Augusta
score would have been different ha
>nmc o. the decisions been more in
| unison with the opinion of those or
| the side lines.
One of the features of the contest
was the lack IF enthusiasm on the part
| of III. spectators. There were those at
the game that always enjoy good clear
sport and never ty ycils or other noisy
| demonstrations show their approval or
disapproval of :hc plays in a game
On the other hand there We're present
| those who always nave something i'm
pertinent TO say to the umpire. the
players and most every one in general
hut their presence was noticeable by
the lack of any demonstration during
| the process of The game although at
times some sport would get excited
and shout encouragement to the home
team.
Winthrop no doubt now has one Of
the best teams in the league as shown
by their play of Yesterday. Each ami
very man on the team was there when
it came to playing or coaching and
the master hand o the coach. CARR
gan. was noticeable i'll most every play
Of tho team. Hoe il might be said that
the Winthrop fans at the meeting in
Winthrop. last night, decided to keep
Carrigan under pay and have him
coach the team until the period of his
suspension runs out and then no doubt
he will be put back into the game.
For Augusta Wiley showed up well
in the field making one brilliant run
ming catch in the ninth inning and
making one two-base hit early in the
game. Tho rest Of the team, with tbs
exception Of Penley. when he was har-
vesting those errors. played well. His
errors We're costly and made
considerable difference in the final
score. But all Players have an off
day and it is hoped that i'll the next
game that Augusta will repeat her per-
torrance at Gardiner. last Saturday.
and some day play another errorless
game.
In the fifth and sixth innings Wat
son lined them over some, striking out
three men in succession in the fifth
and the first two in the sixth inning.
Taking the work, as pitchers go. he
pitched a grand good game and it is
to b" regretted that lie did not have
the support that a pitcher. pitching a
fast game. SHOULD have. The only man
on the Winthrop team that found his
delivery to any extent was York. who
mad three hits in four times up.
1t was Il good game and II is to be
hoped that the next game will have a
different ending. ana augusta will YET
land up ar'ong the winning teams Of |
tho league, The story of the game fo;- |
