Trolley League Standing
AT AUGUSTA

~.a Before q crowd OF fuily 1870 people
, Augusta took the second game of a
= doiibie- header from Ffailowell in the
= Trolley League series Saturday aft
ernocn on the Reuel Williams field by
a score of I to 2. With the sting of de-
feat administered by the younger
twirer Harvey, over the famous Wood
buy formerly Of the Portland New
England League team, who twiIled for
the Granite City lads In the morning
contest, Hailowell came to the Cap
ital City with it's hopes pinned on a
seccnd string box artist. Webb 1t would
not be right TO state that the youngster
failed to come through. for had his
team given him any kind of support
he would have got away with much
better showing. Not MANY errors for
Halioweli--very true, for the infielders
were SO afraid to go after a ball that
they would stand and watch it go
through the dust to bounce into one of
the outfelder's hand. Augusta is now
tied with Winthrop for first place.
Hallowell never had a chance. Stin-
son pitched geat ball. Capt. Coady at
third base played one of the most bril-
liant games of his career. 1t is a
mighty good thing for Folsom's team
that some of the major league scouts
did not make their appearance on the
diamond, for 1t is doubtful II they
would have given Joe "a chance to
change his clothes before they hurried
him off on the next train to get into
the Boston Washington series or any
e.. 80
He knocked down everything that
came his way-they all looked alike to
him and his work was the fastest bit
of fielding ever seen on baseball dia-
mond in Augusta. IT have seen all
kinds OF baseball games in the past
10 years, but I never saw man play
third base with Joe Coady today" said
a man who knew what he was talking
about.
The HaIlowell team just simply loaf
ed They all had the disease, it was
as contagious from the time that the
first piece of boneheaded work was
pulled off, as chiokenpox in a back
town school district. Fish at first base
seemed to have the most pronounced
case, and the way it spread made it
useless to attempt any form of vacci-
nation. The whole team seemed to be
determined to let matters take their
natural courses and die without a
struggle
The Senators played with pep, took
all kinds of chances on the bases and
banged the ball to all corners of the
field. MacGhee and Carroll in the out
field pulled off some catches that the
spectators will dream about forever. 1t
was common thing for both of these
performers to pick one off from their
shoe strings or to spear one from the
coGds. yiolette came into the game
fully rested from the forenoon contest
and tapped out four safeties out of
as many times at bat.
1t is not a very difficult task TO tell
how ii all happened. 1t started off
something like this: Niles, the first
man up, rolled one to Coady. who
threw him out at first. O'Donnell sent
slow one to Stinson, who on the
throw, pulled Violette off the bag. al
lowing the Hallowell center fielder to
be safe at the first station. Simpson
came up and swiped at the first one,
but cut the air Then O'Donnell tried
&c pull off steal, but was thrown out
for trying to evade his car fare, by
Smith, before the second station was
reached. Simpson kept on swinging
until the count of three, retiring the
side.
For Augusta Appleton struck out
Smith worked Webb for a free pas
sage and stole second. Coady raped
out a double, putting Smith across the
rubber for the first score Of the game
Viclette lined one TO left, and Coady
sailed home with run No. 2. Harvey
grounded to Fish, who failed to put
his foot on the bag to make double
play, and Clutter" was safe. violette
however, was thrown out at second,
FISH To Marcoux MacGhee grounded to
Fish for the third out.
HalIowell failed to get run across
until the sixth. Augusta scored in the
. third on singles by Smith. Violete and
Harvey. In the fourth session one more
run was added to the Senator's tally.
Carroll raped out beauty. Lucky
Newbert was present with a sacrifice.
Stinson popped up to Niles. Appleton
came across with a single and Carroll
scored. Smith was thrown out, Mar
coux to Fish.

show signs Of life. Some one yelled
for Appleton to get back deeper into
left field, but the call came too late,
for Niles. after two were out, laced
one into the tall grass over the bank
for two sacks. O'Donnell did just what
was told him when he singled to cen
