splendid catch of a hot line ball, retiring the
Kennebunks with one run. The Portlands added
two runs in the third, ono Of them being home
run by Barnes over the left field fence CHECKED
were the Kennebunks in the fourth, while the Port
lands got five runs on total Of base hits, incud
ing home run by Malloy over the right field fence,
and couple of doubles by Barnes and Frelieh. In

and six runs, earning four of them The Portlands
