the eighth session of Wednesdays
game with Gardiner on the Reuel Will
liams field with five runs and won the
hardest fought uphill contest that
1t has had this season. It was not
hits from the mighty bats of the Sen
stors, it was not Charlie Aliens ex-
pert coaching of his men in the field.
but 1t was simply case of a whole lot
of boneheaded playing in which
good part OF the team figured, that
cost Gardiner the game. Augusta had
been playing in hard luck, true that
the men had not been hitting the ball
up to form, but every time that a
man did connect II was wasted by
falling into the hands of some wait
ing fielder.
German Deserved a Win

ball. He deserved to win. If ever a
pitcher did. Although he did not es-
tablish any worlds record for strike
outs. he managed to let the Senators
down with only three scattered safe
ties. Scattered hits they were, but
two out of that number, which Smith
contributed. came at opportune times.
In the eighth inning when Augusta
safely tucked the game away. five
talliss were made on one lonely hit.
