Hitting Davidson for nine safeties
| with a total of II bases, and fielding
| in almost perfect form, Augusta real
| tied its first victory of the season
Wednesday afternoon with Gardiner
as the victim on the Reuel Williams
field by the final score of to 8. Stin-
son. who worked in the box for Au-
gusta, pitched a steady game, being
Il effective at all times and allowing but
five scattered hits. The game was wit
4 messed by crowd of 600 spectators
Il and was an interesting one to watch
II from the beginning to the end.
Ii Real oId-Time Ability
| Augusta showed some of its old
| time clouting and had Davidson guess
ing for the greater part of the game.
He pitched good ball, however, but the
Augusta batters had their eye with
them, and that tells the story. Violette,
be cleanup kid" was there, and Sc
t,ured two-bagger and q single and
Was robbed of a pretty hit in tie fifth
When Harrington, the Gardiner right
gardener, caught one of his drives
| barely off the ground. A peculiar play
h,lppened in the third inning, when
Appleton, the first man up for Au-
81 sta, obtained a terrific drive to deep
center Glidden, who was playing that
position, dug up over the bank and
was hidden from view Of the umpire
and spectators. Glidden stuck up his
glove hand with the ball within, as
evidence that he had caught it. Many
claimed that ne did catch it, but Um-
pire Carey could not see the play and
therefore placed Appleton back at bat
over again after he had reached the
llthird sack on the olout. There is no
rule covering the play presumably on
account of the fact that all ball fields
are supposed to be laid out so that all
plays may be plainly seen.

first inning, Gidden, the first at bat,

Coady went to first on a fielder

with tremendous ovation from the
grandstand and bleachers. He let the

good to him and he planted 1t into

Smith across the rubber, Coady TAX
ing third. Harvey hunted to Davidson
and was thrown out at first. Moore
