Everybody will want to see auckland,

gustas. and 1t ought to be a big game
from all angles. Augusta Is playing fast

Those games Saturday in the Trolley
League were all hummers. and the fans
certainly got their moneys worth and
saw two of the fastest games played
this season.
1t was a great pitchers battle between
Stinson and Monte Moore Saturday. Four
hits off Stinson and six off Monte. but
Stinson had a bit better support.
Abbott caught one Of the finest games
yet seen In the league and his steady
hard work made him a big factor in the
game. He also came across with two
nice hits.
If Beaudoin, the Gardiner catcher, had
not dropped Talbot's throw to the plate
Purinton would not have scored. That
misplay cost Gardiner a run.
Charlie Towle Of Winthrop must have
on his war paint. He has signed Fuller.
the star pitcher Of Lawrence New Eng
land League team, who has deserted
that club, and also Joe Woodcock. who
has pitched all summer for Hartford in
the Colonial League. Old "Woodie" was
with Augusta two seasons ago and is a
favorite with the Augusta fans. He has
the goods all right and most always can
deliver them.
"Gubr" Maxwell Of the Winthrops had
a great day at the bat Saturday. Out Of
the six hits his team got off Pagan he
made four.
Fuller let Hallowell down with three
hits Saturday. while Winthrop got but

ALL HIS WAY
20 Men Face Fuller in Game on
Saturday and Winthrop Wins
Over Hallowell by Score of 3
To 1-Other Features

Winthrop, Me-, July 25.-(Special)
The Winthrop team had no Difficult
ty Saturday in defeating the Halo
well pennant chasers by the score Of
to l. In fact from the time that
Winthrop's new box artist struck out
the first two men who faced him, the
home town fans seemed to consider
the game as good as won.
Fuller, late Of the Lawrence New
England League, who has been Sc
cured by the Winthrop team after a
discouraging search for satisfactory
pitcher, fulfilled all expectations. He
held the Hallowell batsmen to one hit
and it goes without saying that he
should not have been scored on, Err
rors at third and first let in the one
run gained by the opposition.
Fuller was the big star of the day
but he was by no means the only one.
There was another gentleman bearing
the name of Fuller who DISTINGUISHED
himself in several instances. Then
there was "Gubber" Maxwell. who
fatted his batting average with two
two baggers and a single, and scored
two Of Winthrop's three runs. Gale
also came in for little glory with
three Dagger in the gravel pit. and
his usual good work in the field. In
fact every man on the team played
splendid ball. the kind that wins
games. Bell did exceedingly well be-
hind the bat. In handling new
pitcher and one who has a variety of
fast balls and puzzling curves. only
one ball got away from the tall back
stop.
At the bat, the home team was all
to the good. They nicked Pagan for
six hits with a total of IL bases, and
they did it at opportune moments
The visiting team, too, played fast
ball, and the contest was the sort that
will get the crowds coming
Winthrop scored her first runs ir
| the first inning, when Cobb reached
| first on Fagans error after Gale hat
been retired. Wilson Gifted the ball te
right field, but Mclaughlin captured
it. Then came Maxwell with a two.
Dagger on which Cobb scored. C. Full
Ter delivered another two-base hit and
Maxwell came home with the second
run. Williams was out at first.
Winthrop added one in the fourth
Maxwell sent one through Aube,
reached third on Fruller's single. A
wild pitch permitted him to score.
In the sixth Hallowell got its only
score. Aube sent a grounder to Max
we'll, who missed it. McLaughton ad-
vanced him to second but he kept on
to third and Wilson threw the ball
to the railroad track and Aube scored.
This run came in an. inning without
a hit.
Just 20 men faced Fuller through
out the nine innings Of play.
The score:
