GARDINER.
GARDINER HIGH JUelLANT.
Old Rival cony High Shut Out With
out a Single Run.

Nine times Cony High came to the
bat yesterday afternoon at Quimby
field against Gardiner High. and each
time the visitors went back to the field
without score to their credit.
The field, under cloudy sky, was
swept by cold wind that had its chief
effect in keeping fans away from the
game. There were fully as many Cony
as Gardiner supporters present, and
all shivered alike as they shouted their
school yells against the wind.
Knowing that an intense rivalry cX-
listed between the two schools, un-
usually great police protection WAS
provided. The blue coats. however.
found their greatest activity in trying
times orderly: the representatives of
the schools did not even seek to ridi
Guile each other. which in this case
may be considered remarkable.
Gardeners playing in the first four
innings was superior in every way to
that of Cony. The visitors grew
stronger, however. after that. and dur
ing the latter part of the game skill
was equal. While the game was in
teresting all the way, there were no
sensations. Hartman pitched good,
steady game for Gardiner, and the
work of Perry. GARDENERS midget

in Randolph.

were weak at the bat, awfuily weak,
getting no hits at all.
Hartman threw nine large dough-
nuts for Cony and that was done in
fine shape like professional.

ing four chances without an error. In
