Gardner, Me-, Aug. 16.--(SpeciaD.-
Hallowell had an easy time with Car
diner Saturday at Quimoy field, WIN
ming by a score of to 0. McPhee.
Hallowells latest acquisition, had the
Gardiner lads swinging their heads
off trying to hit his splitter, only two
men being able to put the ball out
side of the diamond. Gardiner secured
but two hits, one being a scratch, due
to slow fielding. Only twice during the
entire game did Gardiner man reach
third. in the first and the fifth. For
the remainder of the game but two got
as far as second. Monte Moore, who
opposed McPhee. pitched a fine game
considering the crippled condition of
his hand. After the third he managed
to steady down, kept his hits well
scattered and allowed but one run. His
wildness, combined with timely hit
ting by Hallowell, gave them a COM
handing lead in the first and third.
Ginger Fraser was the batting star
of the game, driving in two men and
scoring once himself. Eastman con-
tributed several classy catches at GEN.

Spiller walked but nobody could send
them around. In the fifth Moore pitch
ed himself into and out of a dangerous
situation. Fraser made his second hit,
a single to left. Moore threw Shee-
hans attempted sacrifice into the
crowd, Fraser perching on third. and
Sheehan on second. They got no fur
ther, however, as Moore frightened up
and forced the next three batters to
hit weakly to the infield. In this inn
ing Gardiner also got men on through
P. Cobb's scratch hit and Fagan's err
ror, but fast fielding by Pagan closed
the inning without a score.
Hallowell's final tally came In the
sixth. Spiller sent one down to the
left field foul line and made third be-
fore the ball was returned to the dia-
mond. Duncan's tumble of Boardman's
hit enabled Spiller to score. After this
Moore allowed two hits and Gardiner
pulled off a fast double play in the
eighth. In this inning Gardiner placed
the ball in the outfield for the second
time, it being the work OF r. Cobb.
Webb muffed the ball and the batter
was given a life. Cobb stole but 1t
did no good as Talbot famed, thus
ending the inning. The summary:
