Hallowell, Me-, July 24.-(SpeciaD.-
Hallowell won from Augusta by the
score of 4 to 3 today in the first IL
inning contest of the season. 1t was
a battle to the finish. Pitchers We're
steady and at most critical points re-
liable.
Only one error was recorded for the
game and this was charged to Rudder-
ham in the seventh. The trouble come
up or Cramps" drive near first base
line and waited for it to roll foul which
it failed to do. Aside from this boIn
teams played an errorleSs game.
Both pitchers were hittable at times
but HallOwell excelled in getting safe
places and were also very much up 10
the scratch on base running-and this
IN view of the fact that two men start
ed for home from third inadvisably and
caused the winning tally to come hard
and rather tardy.
Augusta fans were intensely vocal at
times The work of their team pleased
them, as well it might, but it was very
clear that "Gramp' had the goods
and that it was difficult that the visit
ing batsmen to separate the chaif from
the wheat. The umpire also experience
ed some difficulty in this regard, Lut
withal gave good, honest service.
The game in detail: Augusta at the
bat. Carey famed, Moody flied to
Blair GoOde drew pass but Hcndcr-
son made it three by going out at first
unassistcd. For Hallowell: Rogers
got free transportation to first and
Blair made it to passes 10y getting hit.
Newenham scratched and Blair WAS cut
off at second. Goode to Moody. Webb
got the single he wanted and released
Rogers and Newenham for two counts
at the slab. Tilton was out at first on
grounder and McIntire out, Goode to
Henderson.
Neither side scored from this time up
to the seventh Davis hit for two bases
in the third got round to third and
there died.
Blair hit for two cushions in the sixth
and made third but three out followed
in quick succession.
The seventh was the crucial inning.
, Up to this time the score was two to
nothing in favor of Hallowcll Hendcr-
son, Follansbee and TrOmbly singled
and the sofas were occupied. Cot"
couldn't connect but Davis did for !,
scratch and Henderson and Fol--nsb"c
hoofed home Ruddcrham was out,
Tilton to Manter. Carey got single
and Tromb,y tailed. Moody was last
UP going out Tilton to Manter.
HaIIowelrs seventh: MCIntire sin

The eighth. ninth and 10th We're
close hauled for fair and only one mar
saw first. THIS was in the ninth whcn
Tromblv attempted a steal after max
ing n single He was caught at second
\. by a swift throw from Carey. 1t was
remarkable fact that Augusta mel
failed to steal n single base.
The pitchers were plainly getting
their moneys worth when the nth
opened. Goodc got Il gift and Hcndcr-
son put him on second by a sacrifice.
Morse was very good-nlturcd IT, An
gusta fans at this time but did not
allow either Folanshcc or Trombly q
