Augusta defeated Gardiner Satur
day afternoon, at Quimby field by 9.
score of to 1, in 10-inning game.
1t was fast one and fully as in
teresting as any played upon the
home grounds, this season. Corey, the
latest importation TO the Augusta
nine. who has been with the Portland
team New England League. occupied
the box for the visitors and pitched
good ball although they found the
ball frequently, though unable to hit
safe. Davidson was the Gardiner
twirler, and pitched his usual star
game, although suffering with a
.'kinky" arm. Talbot was back stop
for Gardiner and made good. Every
man playing on the Gardiner team
was Gardiner man and very few
cities in the State can put up team
composed exclusively of home talent
that would be its equal.

10th. when he reached home. Perhaps
II was Davidson's bad arm which
first became apparent in the sixth. At
any rate il is Augustus game.
