one of those chaps who rarely fail in
pinch and he hit slow one to Aube and
then beat it out with a wonderful dis

brought G. Talbot home and gave the

Gardiner Takes Lead
The game was one of the most thrill
ing seen here this season, with plenty
OF batting as general rule. BY rush
ing attack in the early part of the game
Gardiner piled up what appeared to be
safe lead. Hits were punched to great
advantage in the second FOR three runs
and an error started things for another
in the fourth. But you can never tell.
While Condor was being hammered. Da-
wilson was being tapped with the same
consistency. although he looked strong
enough to hold the advantage his team
mates had given him.
With two down In the fifth Dave
started trouble for himself by throwing
Austins hit over first, giving the runner
second. and then betting Campbell Far
rar singled and up came Boardman with
clout TO center that Talbot almost pull
ed own. He barely reached it with the
tips OF his fingers, but before he could
recover three men came in and Board
man was roosting on second. Another
single scored Boardman and made things
decidedly interesting. George Talbot
who made gallant effort TO stab the
drive, was the star of the day, two dou.
bles, single, a sacrifice fly, the first
run and the winning run was his oAy
portion. In the eighth he put the ball
nearly over the fence, being less than a
foot short. A clout like this is rarely
accomplished on Quimby field. Shepard
also put across three hits and Ashworth
did the same for Hallowell.
Errors Costly

costly. every one paving the way for an
opening. OF Gardeners errors two were
made by Davidson, one of which was
rather costly. He threw Austins hit into
the field and Austin was safe.
IN the opening round both teams got
hits but they came with two men out.
Halloweil did nothing in the second, but
George Talbot doubled to left with one
down and took third when Boardman

put DAVIDSON on second. Shepard came
across with a hit to right and Davidson

nee fly to left and Merrill walked in.
Hallowell had another opening in the
fourth but couldn't improve it. Shepard

and made third on Cobb's out after P.
