ON BAD ERRORS

Winthrop. Me-. Aug. A.-(SpeciaD.-
Winthrop's errors proved costly and Au-
gusta took a hard fought pitchers game
from Winthrop by score Of to 2. Tur-
ner. Augustus new pitcher, divided hon
ors with Gill in the game and neither
man could claim any great advantage,
for each team earned two runs off the
opposing pitcher; each pitcher walked one
man. Six hits were registered off each,
and Turner famed eight batsmen and
Gill seven. Winthrop's errors were costly
while Augustus one misplay did not
count.
Gill was in fine form, as he showed in
the very first inning when he famed Gill
man and Purinton after Coady had flied
out to Fuller. Turner would not be out
done and he also contributed two strike
out, Reddington and Gale being the vic
Tins and Fuller being out at first.

on Conley one Of Bobby's shoots hit him
in the ribs and he meandered to first
Violette sacrificed. Then Conley stole

scored on a passed ball after Brown had
flied to Fuller. Then Harvey famed and
Augusta had obtained run without

Then things went along quietly until
the fourth inning, when Gilman obtained
the first hit of the game through second
base. Purinton walked Conley sacrificed.
both men advancing. Then Violette
squeezed in the run. Augustus first earn
ed run Brown flied to Gale. but the ball
got away from him and another run came
home Harvey famed, closing the inning
with the visitors three to the good.
Winthrop did not break into the base
hit column until the fifth. when Wilson
entered it with a bang. The bang went
over the birch tree for a homer and the
crowd went wild. Pagan flied to "Purry'
and Ashworth smashed out one upon
which Conley made one Of the most SEN
sational catches of the season.
Maxwell got on, on Harvey's muff,
but Ben famed. Augusta 8, Win

In the 9Th, Augusta threatened when
Conley smashed out hit, which would
have been good for two bases but for

Violette up, Reddington, Fuller and
Wilson got busy with their world ia
nous double play combination, and the
inning closed. Winthrop had a grand
chance in the 9Th. Gill had famed,
when "Reddy" connected for a single.
Williams also famed Then Fuller sin
gled but made the big mistake of try
ing to reach second on the play and
was the third out. This play was the
turning point of the game, for Wilson
was the next batter and Turner had
no terrorS for him.
He proved this in the seventh, when
he stung the tall for three bases and
scored on AshWorthS sacrifice fly, af-
ter Pagan had reached first on an in
field hit. 1t was peculiar play, by the
way. Fagan's lit was gathered in by
Conley, but he did not dare to make
the play to first, with Squanto dane
ing tantalizingly off third. Neither
Maxwell nor Bradford could do any
thing and the inning was over. Angus

Winthrop strove nightly in tho
Sth and 9Th. but only Wilson succeed
ed in connecting for a safety and died
on first, though Harvey's catch I'M
doubtedly robbed Ashworth of a hit in
the ninth. But Augusta landed her sec
ond earned run in the 9Th. Brown had
famed when Harvey connected for a
double. Murphy flied to Pagan, then
Turner came through with single,
and Harvey scored when Ashworth's
throw to Bradford went wide.
Wilson's batting was the feature of
the game, and Conley contributed the
fielding feature.

pitching skill of the opposing pitchers
shows the class Of the pitching. Gill
famed Gilman twice, Purinton, Brown
Harvey twice and Turner. Turner's
victims were Reddington, Gale twice,
Williams twice, Bradford and Gill
twice.
