A Taker for His Bets Found But He
Backs Down.

In the Boston Herald of last Tuesday there
appeared q letter from its correspondent at
Augusta, in which it was stated, by the way
of illustrating the confidence of the Democrats
in that part of the country, that COL Darius
Alden, one of the leading Democrats of the
city, was going around on the streets Offering
to ibet anything from 500 to $4,000 that
Cleveland would carry the country. Boston
business man, believing that he saw a good
chance to invest on political futures" went
promptly to the Herald Office and requested
that Col. Darius Alden be asked to let him in
personally to the extent of $500 wager, and
added that he had friends who would
cover the balance of $500. The Herald for.
warded the Boston gentleman's offer to its
correspondent at Augusta. Friday morning
he went to the Herald office prepared to de-
post his $1,000, when the following letter was
handed him, which explains itself:
MAINE BUREAU OF NEWS OFF
THE BOSTON HERALD,
AUGUSTA, Aug. IS, '84.
Alfred It. Waite:
Dear Sir,-Your letter relating to the wager was
shown Col. Alden today and he backs down, He
was bluffng. Yours truly,
WIS. WHITMAN.
The PRESS, Saturday, announced the desire
OF Portland gentleman to cover 5000 of COL
Alden's property, if he would deposit that sum
in this papers counting room. We do not re-
gard betting on elections as wholesome but
when people are DESTROYS of giving away their
money it doesn't seem unreasonable that others
should be willing to accept their share OF it.

ATHLETIC SPORTS.
PROVIDENCE vs.. PoRTLANl

PROVIDENCE vs.. PORTLAND.
This afternoon the famous Providence club will
play the Pertlands, on the Portland grounds, and
it is expected that much better game will be play
ed with them by the Portlands than was the case
with the Bostons. With the Portlands as now con.
stituted, they ought to play fine fielding game to-
day, even If they don't do much batting. A large
crowd will be in attendance, and we think all who
go will be we'll repaid, especially if they love the
sport
PoRTLANps 10, KENNEBUNKs s.
The weather Saturday afternoon was not inviting
for large crowd to attend the game at the Port.
land grounds although some 500 were present
good deal of interest was manifested in the new
pitcher whom the Portlands have secured Brill
formerly of the Detroits-and from the many ex-
pressions of pleasure at the way he did his work
no doubt he will be a fayorte with our people. He
is not only good pitcher, but he is fine batsman
and his presence gave strength to the rest of the
nine. For six successive innings the Kennebunks
were blanked, Abbott catching Brill finely, but in
the seventh inning Abbott's hands became SO sore
that Brill had to let up. The result of this that
in the 9TH 9Th and 9th innings the KenHebunks got
in six singles, with total of eight they only max
ing two hits in the first six innngs) and secured Eve
runs. The Portlands opened the game at the bat,
and Barnes and Abbott went out, Fish got first on
six balls, and then Brill lifted the leather for two
bases, and was followed by Hutchinson and Gala
han, each getting doubles. This hard batting secur
ed three runs for the home nine two of them being
earned. The second inning yielded run, the third
two runs, and the fourth four runs two of them be-
Ing 0dIuous IL bue HUI inning The h6nn6DunkS
put in their change battery and from this time out
the Portlands were BANKED. Had Abbott's hands
held out we doubt if the Kennebunks would have
scored during the game. twas a fine game abound
ing in many excellent plays, among which were the
hot liner caught by Brill pretty stop and throw by
CULVER and the two double plays by the Kenne-
hunks. Callahan created a great deal of amuse-
ment while lodging beth cen second and third
bases. The Kennebunks have defeated every club
in York county, including the Sanfords and it was
showing up well for the boys to defeat them. The
following score gives the details:

Standing of the League.

The Providence club closed the week with a strong
lead for the pennant but it is not great but that
it can be overcome by the Bostons if they have good
luck. The present champions were unfortunate in
their closing Providence games but hope to regain
the first position in the near future Their chances
for SO doing are fair, as Whitney is getting rapidly
into his former fine pitching condition, and, with
Butanton on deck. the champions ought to. The
relative positions of the clubs remains the same as
last week, as will be seen by the following table,
