IN TEN-INNING GAME
Defeats Gardiner, S to d
Protest Over Carrigan.

~ - "'iy = VIZ
The Winthrop Trolley League baseball
team won its second game since the OPP
ening of the league season, here this
afternoon, in one of the most exciting
contests ever witnessed on the local
diamond. Winthrop played ball and
what is more. they played ball every
minute and landed a victory from the
hitherto undefeated Gardiner team in
Il ten-inning contest, to 4. The en-
thuSiaStic fans were Wild with delight
and encouraged their faVoriteS Will.
cheelS during the entire contest and
ii is safe to assert that if the Win
throp boys continue to play the game
as they Gid today they will yet prov"
a deciding factor in the final standing
Of the Trolley League teams.
There We're but two features during
the contest that We're in anyway dis
agreeable. The first was pronounced
and one Gardiner fan sad it WAS dis
graceful that the team should make 50
many errors, especially at such cri-
teal time as some of them Wrr" made.
The second was the feeling, some
what inanimate but it was there, be-
tween the two opposing factions of
baseball fans. 1t was on accoun: of
t'arri@an. the new second baScman of
the Winthrop team. who comes to the
team from Holy C.oss college, where,
it may be mentioned he las secured IN
enviable reputation. 1t seems that he
was wanted by the HalloWell manage
mcnt and when they could not have him
at the price he wanted he signed with
Winthrop. At the league meeting. last
night. the directors voted to suspend
him for 80 days ana in consequence
the Gardiner captain and manager will
protest the game. If they had won it
might have been different.
In speaking of Carrigan after the
game. Captain Clason said that he
would most certainly protest the game
as Carrigan had been suspended by
The directors ana furthermore that it
was no more than right and Justice.
Carrigan played 4 good game. hay
ing three put outs. two assists. and
one hit, but his playing in no way di-
rectly resulted in the victory. Any one
other second baseman in the league
might have played as well, but it seems
hi. reputation is a good one and the
losers do lot desire to have the medi-
cine repeated.
AS to the game itself. There We're Ill
the features of first class contest
even without the extra inning. There
was good ban of the grand order, in
the way of brilliant catches. such as
Turner made in the sixth. Then there
was the heart-Tending kind when a
sure assist and out would be turned
into a sickening error and run would
come in over the rubber. Such was
the case when Irish fumbled Clasons
hit i'm the sixth.
Morse, the recent acquisition on the
ritching staff of the Winthrop team,
was host in himself, making several
assists, striking out IS men and final
ly winning his own game in the tenth
inning by knocking out a twO-base hit
and sending in the winning run. His
work was of the Al ORDER dazzling
the Gardiner batsman with his large
variety of curves and shoots and he
had speed to burn. He allowed but five
hits ana no bases on balls, for he
himself had said before the game mo
one walks today"
Reane the visitors pitcher was in
good form allowing but few hits and
one Ease on balls hut his support was
bad at critical times. Even Messenger, |
one of the main stays of the Gardiner |
team. contributed his two little marks |

Taken an i'll ali il was one of the |
prettieSt and most exciting of games |
and the outcome may be the means of |
putting new life into the Winthrop |
team and dispel the hOOdoO that has /
until today followed the team. AS far
as the spectators go they prove to be
the real thing. AMI cheer the l"udest
words Of encouragement when the
team is on the short end OF the score.
Gardiner left rather sore over this,
their first defeat and plan To thorough
iy drowned winthrop at the next meet
ing, but there is little doubt that the
local bows will be there with the goods
and from now on Winthrop means to
prove n factor among the players Of
