TROLLEY LEAGUE NOTES.

Most of us failed to see where
Davidson had anything on Monty
Moore, despite all the blare of tru1n-
pets and other things when the former
entered the game.
Elsewhere we publish an item from
tn Winthrop correspondent stating
that the Winthrop team is showing
better team work than any other team
in the league. If Augusta can show
up the way they did Saturday, the
biggest tightwad in Kennebec ought
to be willing to risk his roll that the
Capital City boys can put an awful
crimp in that team work"
A rather dark chance for Gardi
ner's aspirations for hits in right
field, Saturday
Whatever else we may say Gardiner
went down with flying colors despite
the big score. A team which will
fight to the last man against such
overwhelming odds-including every
break" in the game-will bring the
hat off any true sportsman.
Sparsom, for one day at least, may
be auded as the best box find Augusta
has made. Some of us are inclined
TO think that he wouldn't have to low
er his eolo,s to Hallett Besides
there's that ugly rumor of a "kink" ii
Hallett's arm. And besides again
Sparsom is a wicked hitter.
Ought to sit man on second base
to. take care of that canny Newbert's
stick work.
He may be VioIette but there's
nothing shrinking about his swing on
any old kind of ball
Cap Smith isn't a sensational
player or grandstand worker but
needed.
Niles is one fine little baekstop but
the whole league has got to hand the
palm to the Colby gentleman who has
joined the Augusta crowd
That third inning walop of Neifs
ought to put Van Buren, on the map.
We suspect when the rest of the
Aroostook delegation read about that
they will even forget he wouldn't
vote with them against workmen's
compensation.
Everybody was glad to see Groves
back in the game Saturday, he is a
great favorite with the crowd.
HallowelI is due for win. The
team is good one and will break
their "hoodoo" pretty soon, and make
all the other teams play ball to beat
them. They certainly have some fast
players but have been playing in hard
luck the past few games.
Why not arrange an exhibition game
between Augusta and Winthrop on
some day of the week when these
teams do not play; it would be a
great drawing card. and please the
fans immensely.
Keep it up. boys! Play the game
and get the crowd.
