DIAMOND SPORT.


Somewhat over two hundred and fifty peo-
pie witnessed the game between the Atlantics
of this city and the Lewistons OF Lewiston on
the grounds in Deerinq yesterday afternoon
The grounds were not in good condition and
the errors were somewhat affected from this
cause The Atlantic team had the heavier
men, but their full nine was not out, while
they had to contest with nine in excellent
practice, which as the sequel showed won for
them the game
The game opened with the Atlantics at the
bat, The first two men went out 1T first the
third man reached first and the catcher's fail
ure to hold the ball on the third strike was
brought home by splendid three baser o.,
Norway. The next man foued ont and left
Norway on third. The Lewiston boys only
reached second base in their innings.
In the second inning neither side scored, but
in the latter half of the third when the bases
were full, passed ball by CULVER sent man
home, and base hit and error by tho centre
field allowed two more to score The Attain
tics were banked and their opponents scored
one in the fourth inning. In the fifth for the
Atlanties, Williams made baser, reached Sec
ond Oh a passed ball and came home on base
hit by Riley. No further scores were run in
till the last OF the sixth, when one man of the
Lewistons crossed the home plate. 1t the first
half OF the seventh Gulliver reached third on
errors and came home on Winship's drive by
the pitcher. The Lewiston men made two
rms in their inning. The eighth inning open
cd well for the Portland men. Doherty won
first on errors, and was advanced TO second on
baser by Taylor, but in attempting to steal
third was cut off by pretty throw from centre
field, Taylor reached third and scored on
M crway's baser. This ended the run getting
for the Atlantics, but the Lewiston men gain
ed a run in their half of the inning.
The game was quickly settled in the first
half of the ninth by double play OF short stop
second and first basemen, and man thrown
out at first
Though not exciting, the game was interest
ing and belonged to anyone until the last man
was out. In fielding the Lewiston team led
but in batting, honors were easy. GulliVei did
the best work for the home team in the field,
and Norway led al the bat, while the pitcher,
with second and third basemen and short stop
all did noticeably fine work for the Lewistons
both in batting and fielding. The sad errors
OF the Atlantics tell the sto'y. The following
is the score:

warlv settlement Of Portland.

To The Ed1 ,Eef the Press;
see that a. correspondent Of the Argus To-
Gates the house Of George Cleeves near the
foot OF Hancock street, and he deduces his
conclusions in part from informal cleaned
from Willis. Mr. Willis procured the most of
his information from copies of documents
made in 1774, from other copies. At that date
transcribers did not take the care that experts
do at this time, and one familiar with the style
of writing made in 1640 can see that his ex-
tracts have been modernized, and therefore we
must take some other data for comparison.
We have several original dispositions and some
early plans which lead us to infer that Rich
ard Tucker was the man that pat his
hand to tire axe and the hoe, and who built
the first log house on the neck Of Portland, on
the west side of Clay Cove, and with whom,
most likely, Cleeves was partner in building
1t. A log house could be built in six days
work, and these log houses were usually locat-
ed in dry location and III the immediate vi
cinty of a spring. Such spring in early
days existed nearly under the apothecary store
occupied by Mr.. Cory, on Fore street, and the
land toward the market house was admirably
suited for "burn," from which those first set
tiers must have procured their crops,as in those
days | SEQ not much indication of cattle. |
am inclined to think that Cleeves lived with
the family of Tucker until he brought over his
family. When that was no one knows. 1t
seems that Tucker selected the tract between
| Clay Cove and Park street, and Cleeves that
| east of the Cove, for their clearings. That
| Cleeves built more than one house there is not
| much doubt as Robert Jordan seized one for
| debt, and most likely the one John McAllister
refers to in his deposition was the last one he
| occupied. / am informed that the side
near Hancock street, in its natural state, was
inclined TO be DOGGY or moist, and If so these
| early settlers would not select such spot. a
| / am not posted on the selections that a saw
or would take of spot TO haul up his boats,
but from my standpoint they would be better
| protected from storm in Clay Cove than at
| the foot of Hancock street. Either | cannot
read and comprehend or there must be many
mistakes in regard to the early settlement Of
that part of the town in the written history.

RAILW Az NOTES.
A Sensational Yarn.

A special to The Journal from New York
says: The sensational report Published in New
York on Tuesday, to the effect that the Ameri-
can Trunk Lines had made written protest
against the connection of the Grand Trunk
Railroad of Canada with the Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western Road, is denied by Com
missioner Fink. There has been no under
standing that unless the Grand Trunk should
give up its connection with the Lackawanna,'
the other trunk lines would "force the Grand
Trunk out of the pool" For some time cor
respondenee has been gong on between the
Commissioners and all of the roads that do
business with the Lackawanna and Nickle
Plate regarding their relations with the new
competitors. II is recognized that some step
must be taken by the pool-roads to prevent
threatened Generalization of rates in conse-
quence of the opening of the new lines. There
is no desire to force the latter into tho pool
but there is anxiety that the new corners
should maintain rates. In order to accomplish
this end the question naturally arises as TO
whether any connecting road ought TO be al
lowed to maintain facilities for the exchange
of through business with the new lines that cut
the rates over their own routes from the point
of Junction with the pool roads.
