Ressiutes II, AndroscOgsins d.

The second game of this season between the
Resolutes and the Androscoggins of Lewiston
| was played on the Park grounds yesterday af-
ternoon in the presence of a small crowd of
spectators. The excessive heat and the muffin
game the Resolutes played at Lewiston, Tues

by their superior fielding, for the Androscog-

where have learned, that when they allow
their grounds to be turned into gambling
places, their gate receipts will diminish We
are aware that managers cannot prevent peo-
pie from betting but they can prevent its being
done publicly on their grounds to the disgust
of many decent people.
