Winthrop defeated Augusta, Tues
day afternoon, on the Reuel Wliilams
field in a loosely played game by
score of to 2. auckland, the WIN
fhrop southpaw, had the Augusta bat
tiers well in check at all times, al
lowing but two hits-Violette and
Groves contributing these. The line
up of the Augusta team was soine-
what different than usual. Appleton
was placed at third and Harvey at
short, Hanks taking right field. Ine
new move failed to better the team as
Appleton was very erratlc, making
three errors on wild throws TO Nio-
lette. Harvey at short played his
usual good game, accepting four
chances without an error. The skin
inning proved to be the undoing OF the
Augusta aggregation, when the Wln-
throp swatters got to Woodcock for
four hits one two Dagger, coupled
with four errors, which netted them
three runs. After this "Woodie"
frightened up and held his opponents
