Merchants Vote
to Boost Baseball
Augusta Stores Will Close Wednes.
day at a P. M. While Merchants
and Clerks Attend Final Game Of
Season

Season
Of the Augusta baseball team and
to help the Association to wind up
it's season with a balance in the
treasury, the Executive Committee of
the Merchants Bureau of the Au-
gusta Chamber of Commerce voted
to close their places of business at
400 p. NJ. next Wednesday in order
that storekeepers and their clerks
may witness the big game between
the Millionaires and Bar Harbor.
Bar Harbor is reputed to be one
of the fastest teams in the State,
and this game ought to be a
big drawing card. If the weather
is favorable it ought to bring out
the biggest crowd of the season. a
sort of a farewell reception to the
fast playing outfit that has brought
Augusta so much favorable comment
as a baseball town this season.
In the discussion which proceeded
the vote to cooperate as requested,
much favorable comment was made
effect Of the baseball games on bust
ness and it seemed to be the unani-
nous opinion of those present that
the season had teen especially good
because the baseball team brought
crowds into the business street and
attracted quite a number of out
of-town visitors to the city. The
hope was expressed that the various
community teams be crystallizcd in
to league next season.
incidentally good word was
spoken for the Chamber of Commerce
as an agency in bringing men to-
gether quickly and in carrying out
their decisions. The spirit OF CO.
operation that is to be seen on every
hand in this city is attributed part
ly to the work of this organization
during the past two years.

M|LLIONA|RES
PLAY HORSE WITH
DOVER, n. H., TEAM

At least once every season whether
1t be in the big league or deep in
the bush, there is staged a travesty
on the great national game, and Sat-
urday was the date in Augusta, with
the Millionaries and Dover, n. H.,
aggregation the offenders. The score
was 81 to l, with the Granite Staters
on the short end. Represented as
a strong semi-pro team, they proved
lamentably weak and, angered by
being double-crossed, Ben Houser
they did in impressive style.
1t took just one frame to size up
the calibre of the visitors. and then
there ensued one of the most re-
markable games ever played on Will
liams field. From the second to the
eighth canto inclusive it was one
continuous laugh. Everything in the
line of scoring happened except a
wild pitch and hit batsmen. There
were homers by Graves and Wilson.
three pillow blows by Beaudoin, Tier
ney and Abbott. and doubles by
Tierney. Delaney and Graves.
Blanched faces were the rule with
the Doverites, whether at bat or in
the field. When they faced the Au-
gusta hurlers their countenances be-
lied a desire to play ball, while in
the field they acted like a lot Of
Jack rabbits who had over-indulged
in home brew. They were really
funny in that they did not attempt
to be funny. There was a desper-
ate Ive-only- one-time-to-die manner
that rocked the grand stand and
bleachers. A guy named McCabe
started in the box and when he tired
the first baseman would spell him,
and after a rest he would again take
up the burden.
Then there was one Haffner who
stood down at the hot corner to see
that all balls sent his way got safely
TO left field. About the middle of
the affray he made the mistake of
stopping one and for this was ban
ished to second. where he continued
to mess 'em up to the queens taste.
The left gardeners tongue was hang
ing out all through the barrage and
he undoubtedly is now fully ac-
quainted with every nook and cram
ny in the extreme northeast section
of his territory, as about every other
ball journeyed that way.
Benson. twirling for Augusta. was
taken out at the end of the fourth
and amid vociferous shouts and
screams of laughter, Squanto Wilson
took up the job, holding the misfits
to two hits. With all the horseplay
in evidence, the Houser men kept a
clean slate. giving both Benson and
Wilson perfect support. The fact
that they got all the runs possible
met with general approval of the
fans. who resented the gall of such
an aggregation booking itself with
the Millionaries. The score:
