The Portlands have another chance to defeat the
Reserves this afternoon, and we think they the
superiors of the Reserves both in fielding and bat
ting. Improve the third base and shortstop
positions, and let's see how it will work. The
shortstop's position can't be played worse than
it was yesterday.
The Rattlers beat the Dirigo Unions on the
Western Promenade yesterday afternoon in six
innings the score standing to 10 in favor OF the
Rattlers.
Malloy's two-bagger was put in in the right time
Barnes tried hard to get IN in the eighth in
ming. by sacrifice hit, but Duffy captured his hot
line hit, and made double play.
If the reports we hear about several of the Port
land team are true, they will not be wanted here.
Callahan played in luck yesterday. He was at
the bat five times got his base on errors three times
and base hit; the fifth time he struck out
Gulliver is gaining fast in his batting. That's
right, Jimmy; you can bat finely if you try.
Barnes the bat five times yesterday, and
was captured on the fly four out of the Eve times
and thrown out at first once. 1t pretty speedy
pitcher that he can't TOUCH and he is hard hitter,
too. He plays pretty centre field.
Duffy and Moriarty made pretty double play in
the eighth inning.
SHELTON is the most brilliant shortstop who has
played here this season.
The same old trouble of no coachers was observed
when the Portlands were running bases yesterday.
Why doesn't Manager Burnham remedy this?
Shaw, the left field of the Reserves, made hand
some running catch to long left field.
Conner comes out of the box every time he
pitches. Fish also did it several times.
Cunning sat in the scorers stand yesterday, and
witnessed the game. He will probably catch Con-
nor today. He is fine catcher.
Annis got left on base hits Yesterday. He is called
| a fine batsman, and leads off for the Reserves.
II was lucky for the Reserves that they took Nc
Donough out of the box. He would have been
knocked out, if they had not done so.
The Portlands have got to play ball today; no
such tumble as that of yesterday will answer.
Maloy played fine first base yesterday and JOS
selyn also. They can't be bettered.
Fessenden's umpiring, on the WHOLE was satisfac-
tory
When foul bak is declared against pitcher,
the batsman is entitled to take his base.

When the messenger boy came with

at the clock, as though noting the flight
