League series on the Reuel Williams

should have been played Saturday

of rainy weather. Gardiner, 1t is ex-
pected, will have a new man in the
box, possibly Mike Driscol the crack
University of Maine twirler who
pitched such fast ball the first of the
season for Gardiner. 1t is very ne
cessary that Augusta should win this
contest in order to increase its lead
on the pennant, and of course Gardi-

that 1t should carry off the honors.
Stinson or Harvey will be in the box.
In all probability Stinson, as Violette
