Although the s00" was high and the play (me-sided the game was interesting, the Car- digan pitcher tin-ned in a good performance. but ragged support by his teammates, with tbs excep- tion of Rev. Fail-let Sullivan, who was the outstanding player for Cardigan, proved his downfall. Sharpe's pitching for Montague was an exhibition in itself while Wat- terworth was the star at but. hit- ting two home runs. Sharpe's bat- ting was also exceptionally good with five hits out of five times at bat driving in four runs.
