Gardiner High Plays Loose
Game and the Visitors

Support Is Ragged

Gardiner, Me-, May 27.-(SpeciaD.
lin a game characterized by poor
fielding, errors of judgment, reckless
base running and brief maps on the
part of Gardiner High the home team
was defeated by Brunswick High
Wednesday afternoon by a score of s
to 2. Errors accounted in a large de-
gree for the runs and many errors
of judgment not figuring in the tab
uated score were made by Gardiner.
Although somewhat wild at intervals,
Cusick pitched a wonderful game, re-
firing the opposing batsmen on strikes
time and time again. To sum up
briefly the Gardiner team was asleep
at the switch almost from start to
finish and simply handed the game
to the interscholastic champions.
