Gus and Patten easily struck him out,
retiring the side. Up to this time Hal
lowell had played an errOrless game
and the good support of Patten by ev-
cry member of the team had nullfied
the effect of Augustus hitting. But for
the throw to third, Augusta would have
been retired in the Sth-the ninth gave
them no runs-and the 10th inning
would never have been necessary.
1t was doubtless one of the viScissi-
tubes of baseball, but HallOwell peO-
pie hope never to have the play re

game. An American League exhibition

tainly have brought waiting. anxious
base runners over the plate. The close
playing was a revelation to eye wit
nesses and nothing better has ever
been seen on the local grounds.
Halls pitching was the feature of the
Augusta side; he had good control and
pulled out of bad places very credita-
bly,. He struck out IL men to Patterns 8.
I'atten's stock of curves was replete
and his work was con)plimented many
times.
Craig was Augustus joy as usual and
he is certainly Il clever ball player.
Carey made two hits and scored one
Of the runs. As i'm every previous game
this season, he w..s arch base stealer Of
the game. He runs bases like a Suuir-
rel and with good courage for all at

fails to get there.

Catcher Mccarthy and Craig in the

made the only attempt which was
successful.
Carrigan, Hallowell's new man on
first, played his position perfectly and
got two-bagger i'm the Sth. He stole
third: Blair hitting safe and stealing
second. Higgins flied out to center. The
Dali was sharply fielded to pitcher, then
to catcher for Carrigans out, and TO

triple play. Augustus fielding was
