Some time ago the Bangor Commercial
suggested that all the elites of Maine form
hace ball teams which might be associated
under the name of 1.-The Maine State League"
and play regular circuit games throughout
the season, for pennant, on the same plan
as the National League. There is a growing
interest in base ball IN Maine, and yet only
rarely do its admirers see a good game
PLAYED. There is no doubt but that such
league will meet with pecuniary sue
cess, and at the same time it would afford
development for our athletic talent and
amusement for the public. Portland, Ban
gor, Lewiston, Augusta, Biddeford, Bath,
Rockland, Belfast, Calais and Ellsworth are
all cities of Maine which ought to be able to
put a good nine IN the field, while several
towns. such as Brunswick, Wa,ervile and
Orono have clubs, college or otherwise.
Portland, Lewiston and Belfast already have
clubs, and good ones.
