The base Ball Match.

The game of base ball Saturday, at Deering,
between the Resolutes of this city, and the An
droscoggns Of Lewiston, excited more interest
in base ball circles than any game in this vicin-
ity this season, and was witnessed by large
crowd of base ballists and sporting men from
Lewiston and this city. The hackers of the
Androscoggins were quite confident OF win
ming, and when it was known that the Reso-
lutes were minus two or three Of their best
players, their confidence took on the form of
betting, and for short time things looked live
ly and greenbacks were shown literally, but as
the game went on the Lewiston money market
became tight, and before it closed it was doubt
fnl if there was money enough among that
crowd to buy even a 'Lincoln street. drink.
At least it was not shown.
The game was very fair exhibition Of base
ball, but both clubs made too many errors.
Part of them, however, should be attributed to
the wet condition of the ball and field. The
Resolutes took the lead after the first few inn
ngs and maintained it throughout, winning
the game by score of to 6. The Androscog-
gins rather excelled at the bat, but the Reso-
lutes fielded best. Tweed Barnes playe
third base finely, making two beautiful catches,
both hot from the bat, one very low and diff
cult, and one hot liner taken over his head
with one hand. Both plays were loudly ap
plauded. Leighton caught the first seven inn
ings, and then went in to pitch, with Croker,
late catcher of the Paper Mill club, behind the
bat. He is one of the finest catchers we have
ever seen in an amateur clnb, especially under
the bat, where he is unsurpassed. Libby and
Aver played their positions well, as did most
of the others. The Androscoggins played very
steadily and pluckily for an up hill game, and
it is no boys play to win a ball from them.
We know of no club in this state who can do
it outside the Resolutes, who rightly hold for
another season the championship of Maine.
