the strong Gardiner team Saturday aft

visitors securing 10 hits but were unable

game by the members of his team, Muir

two putouts and three assists and bat

team showed class all the way through

Gardiner nice fat goose egg by retiring
the first four men at bat. Condor hit

Augusta fans may tighten their
belts, resin their shoes and get ready
to root for winning team. Skowfle-
gan may sit up and take notice and
Belfast may SILVER in its spiked shoes.
We've got the coin and the spirit and
the men are coming-to put Augusta
circle around it.
Winthrop is done-all through and
cut of it after today's game with Hal
lowell. Chairman Harris S. Woodman
of the directors of the Winthrop club
has said the final word-that if the
ether teams (meaning Augusta and
Gardiner) would not hold to the orig
inal agreement, Winthrop, the league
leaders, would drop out Of the quar-
tet. He feels with Winthrop's other
baseball promoters that Augusta and
Gardiner have shown they are deter
mined TO take off the player limit, and
that Winthrop will not continue in the
league under such conditions.
Interesting conclusions. intimations
and suspicious at once flock to the
fore.
IT'S said Winthrop played or main
games at the opening Of tho season.
Gossip has it that Gardiner might pro-
test these games. With Winthrop out
Of the league, her representation on the
board Of arbitration might be held to
have forfeited it's right. So-with Au-
gusta and Gardiner controlling the
board-what might happen to Win
throp's present lead in tho league could
very easily be a shame!
Then, too, there's "Squanto" Wilson,
Maxwell, Pagan. Bradford. Fuller and
Gill running around loose, and, pos
sihly. not averse to playing on Angus
ta's or Gardeners teams. Again, Au-
gusta and Gardiner. with the we'll
known rivalry Of the respective sport
ing elements Of the two cities, will
draw big crowds in a series Of inter-
city games and with Skowhegan and
Belfast, and possibly Madison.

games won and one lost
1.-THE future of the league is still I'M
known. though present indications are
that the league will be broken up. This
is great disappointment to Winthrop
fans, who believe that the action of
those teams, which would disregard the
rules Of the league without a majority
| vote authorizing them to do so, is most
unsportsmanlike. The Winthrop team
| for 1916 has certainly fairly earned
their position at the head of the
| league. Possibly it is not composed of
great number Of individual stars, but
| they play together with the team work
which they have gained by having the
same men In the lineup game after
game.
THE team will play in Hallowell to-
day. playing off the game with the
Hallowell club, and after this game,
| the future of the team is very uncer-
tain.
while the week just ended has been
satisfactory in percentage of games
| won, the team has not kept up its large
batting percentage. Pagan was the
| only player on the team who made a
+! big advance in hitting. He batted in
.544 in the three games last week, and
brought his average from .215 to 800, a
gain of "a points.
Those who are still in the 800 class
are Wilson, Maxwell, Pagan, Bradford,
