PoRTLANDs VS.. KENNEBUNKs.
Our citizens witnessed of York county's first
class clubs play yesterday afternoon and this after
they will have chance to see another of them
the Kennebunks. The game will be called at 3
O'Clock sharp: 1t will be seen that the Kennebunks
defeated the Biddefords in grand style Yesterday
and the latter club in their game with the Bos on
Reserves sustained defeat by the close score of to
only.
BOSTON RESERVES VS.. sANFoRDs.
Tha finest exhibition that has yet been seen on
the Portland grounds was that of yesterday by the
Boston Reserves and the Sanfords, the leading club
in the York County League. 1t was a game in
which the batteries of both clubs bore off the hon.
ors. The fielding Of both mines was very fine the
Reserves leading in this respect but in batting the
Sanfords excelled. The game for three innings was
played without base hit or run being obtained
by either side, but when the Reserves opened the
fourth inning Moriarty got in two-bagger to left
field, the next two men were out and Josselyn got
a single, sending Morarty home; Connor took the
bat as next strSer and after he had hit the air for
one strike, Murphy threw to first and caught Josse
lyn mapping The Sanfords got base hit in the
fourth inning. In the sixth inning the Reserves ad-
ded another run to their score, which proved to be
the last, and was obtained by the errors of centre
field, catcher and shortstOp. In the seventh in
ming things looked bright for the Sanfords to tie the
score. Bean hit for base, Gull struck out Dona-
hue got hit, sending Bean to second and taking
first. at this point the inning was very interesting,
and it was expected that at least run would be
obtained by the Sanfords. But it was not to be.
Connor. with smile upon bis face, pitched the next
two strikers out in quick order. 1t the pretti-
est inning OF the game Inc Sanfords disposed of
the Reserves in fine style from the sixth inning TO
the finish while the Sanfords had a chance in the
ninth inning to do some batting. Ellis struck
base hit and reached third on passed ball and
wild throw by Barrett. Connor settled down to
business and pitched the next three batsmen out in
one, two, three order: The Sanfords made two
pretty double plays, Falvey. Gull and Winslow Sc
curing one, and Gull and Winslow the other In
the eight inning, Anns in running second struck
Winsow with his foot just below the knee bruising
it slightly and tearing his stocking. 1t was not
done Intentionally. Connor stopped a hot grounder
and Shaw the left field Of the Reserves caught
pretty fly after hard run in the eight inning The
game was sharp one, and the 700 or more specta-
tors present were highly pleased with the exhibit
ion. 1t is in justice Frost and Bean of the San
fords to say that their errors were made on hard hit
balls 1t was the hardest struggle for the Reserves
this season we think. Below is the score:
