Gardiner Defeats Cony
In Close Game.
Visitors Get One Hit Only
OF "ArchIe" Meader.
cony's Rally In Ninth Comes too
Late to Win Game.

For the second time this season thu
red and white Of Cony went down be-
fore the orange and black of Gardiner
when on the Reuel Williams Athletic
field Monday afternoon the many times
postponed game between the two nine
was played with resulting score Of
two to one in favor of the down river
team. The game was the last in tho
BOWdoin League series. but in tina
respect it was much like the battl.'
Of New Orleans, which was fought at
ter the War of 1912 was over, as the
pennant in this series is already woe
by Lewiston High and this game coulC
have no possible bearing upon the re
suit.
The game was lost on errors, the old
Did story with the Cony High baseball
team this year, an error by the center
field. another by catcher, two by tn,
second base and three by the third
5aseman. a wonderful rally on the
part of the Cony in the ninth brought,
all the home roOters to their feet bu,
it was not strong enough to pull ou:
a victory. Meader struck out 10 meo
for Cony and only one Gardiner man
found him and then only for single
hit. Moore pitched a funny slow ball.
which puzzled the Cony players SC
that they were able to get but three
hits from him. Shepard at left field
was Gardeners bright particular star
making the two runs which gave VIC
tory to his team. Barring the errors
made by Cony the game was good
me to watch and in many ways the
BEST one which has been played on the
home grounds this season.
