urday Afternoon, 1912.

The First Inning,
Second Defeat at Hands Of Cony
High This Season.

Oak Grove, Nassalboro, MAY -
(SpeciaD. High of Augusta won
from Oak Grove this afternoon by a
score of 10 to ,. Oak Grove played a
ragged fielding game making IL errors.
For the first three or four innings il
looked as though the game would be
close, but in the fifth inning the bal
loon went up. G. Smith got first on
an error by Farnham end the Oak Grove
pitcher walked the next man UP, fore
ing in a run. With three men on bas-
es Dickson came up and drove the bali
down over an apple orchard in the pas
turc. after few minutes search the
right fielder came up with the ball
but three men had already crossed the
plate.

for the game they put up was certainly
Il poor article of baseball. Cony fieIded
we'll and hit the ball hard but lack of
judgement in base running was the reas-
on why the score was not larger. The

of Dickson and Meader and B. Jones'
fielding certainly deserved credit The
