The Base EaIl Match at Brunswick.
The game Of Base Ball between the Anna

on Saturday last, resulted in a victory for the
latter club, by score Of 81 to 10. The Anna
tours, although defeated, congratulate them
selves on not being beaten by Ilallowell
nine, for we learn from very good authority,
that three men played on their club who were
imported for this special occasion, and in
their respective positions as pitcher, catcher
and first baseman, cannot be eXceiled in the
State.

tage of facing pitching Ga regular underthrow)

manner OF Mathews delivery impaired

alone, more than anything else, do they lay
their defeat. The Umpire, Mr.. Briggs of
Bowdoin College, is deserving much praise
for his fair and impartial decisions. The fol-
lowing is the score:
