ATHLETIC SPORTS.
Base Ball
FoRTLANDs IL, BELFAsTs 9.

Yesterday was "ladies day" at the Portland
grounds, and one of the incest and prettiest audi
ences ever seen on the grounds was present, there
being fully 1000 people there, about 800 being
ladies. The game was to have been called at $50
O'Clock, but owing to the large crowd present at
the Preble House to dinner, the Belfasts were
Obliged to wait. The game was started at 3.o1
o'clock with the Portands at the bat, Barnes being
out at first, Abbott getting base on tumble, and
two passed balls sent him to third. Fish, with two
strikes on him. struck for three bases sending ABB
bott home and coming in on q wild throw by Dill
worth. Callahan struck out. Hutchinson got first
a missed third strike and wild throw by Knowlton
and was left at third by Chatterton going out at
first. For the Beitasts, McKeen struck out,
Knowlton got a base on Malloy's fumbl e. and aided
by passed ball and wild throws by Callahan and
Hutchinson scored the only run in the inning, the
next two men going out. In the second inning
Malloy the first striker, got first a tumble by
Howard. CULVER hit to second base and il was
fumbled and CULVER and Malloy stole to second
and third. Freligh was out on fly by Colburn,
Barnes on ny to shortstop, and Abbott hit for two
bases, sending in two runs. Fish got first on a
wild throw by Dillworth, and came home on Gala
hans base hit Callahan going out at second in at
tempting to get there on his hit. The next three
innings the Belfasts blanked, while the Port
lands worked In run in the third inning on base
hit by CULVER and errors of the Belfasts. From
this time out the Belfass settled down and for the
game.
Belfasts got one run in the fifth inning and
one in the sixth, entirely on errors of the Port
lands, and in the ninth secured three runs, after
chances had been offered to blank them. The
Portlands got run in the fifth, two in the eighth
and one in the ninth, the last being an earned
run. A handsome double play was made in the
third inning by MallOy and Abbot and a splendid
one-hand catch was made by Abbott. A beautiful
stop was made by Dllworth in the eighth inning.
The Belfasts' battery is the finest one seen here
outside Of the league clubs, and the whole club are
manly looking and perfect gentlemen. 1t Is pleas
ure to witness game of ball played by the Bel
fasts. MallOy made two bad errors during the
game and Callahan's throwing to second base was
very poor. Fish also made useless and wild throw
but he batted hard and was very effective in his
box, striking out 16. The Belfasts Outplayed fha
Portlapds in the field, but at the bat the latter
showed up in fine shape. The game lasted two
hours aud sixeeen minutes, and was satisfactorily
umpired by Mr.. Clarence Small. The score:

TIE Observation-Disclosures EXHIBITION,
About 5000 people witnessed the game at Pre-
sumpscot Park yesterday afternoon between the
two leading clubs in the country among the specta
tors being many ladies. 1t had been promised be-
fore the game that each nine would play their
strongest battery. This promise was not fulfilled,
however, and the fact caused much dissatisfaction
The Bostons played the pitcher and catcher of their
reserve team Conner and Cunning, and had they
played their regular men in these important posi-
lions We doubt If the work of the Reserves would
have been much exceled. The Proyidences hit
Connor safely but 80, in the last inning and
Cunning supported him finely. The lttery Of the
Providence club was COnley and Nava. The latter
played finely, but Conley hit hard, especially
in the third inning when the Bostons secured three
runs; Hornung, sutton and Cunning getting two
baggers and Burdock and Manning singles In the
sixth morrill, and Crowley were given their first
on balls; then long drive by Whitney for two
bases and a wild throw by NaVa added three runs
The following inning Radburn took the box but
was not very effective He muffsd an easy hy SUIT
ton got two-bagger, anu Burdock one, yielding
two runs. This one inning appeared to satisfy
Radburn and he pitched no more. The ninth run
was secured in the last inning a missed third
strike and a two-bagger by Morrill, The Rhode ISL
an4ers seemed greatly puzzled by Connor about
the only way they getting first base being called
balls. In the fifth the .ses were filled on called
balls. There was but one out and 1t looked as
though Providence would get ia run, but Miller
and Hines knocked easy flies which were captured
by Burdock and Whitney. Whitney pitched In the
seventh and eighth innings. He choked his oppo-
uentS in the seventh but in the eighth thew got two
: hits The following is the score:

Polo and Roller Skating.
FOREST cITYs, 8; wooDFoRDs, 1.


The Forest Citys and Woodfords finished their se-
ries in the polo tournament, at Forest City rink
last night. The game resulted as above. after
hard fought battle of three quarters Of an hour.
The Forest Citys played loosely in the FIRST two
goals, and kept so many men around tn e home goal
that It was hard work to get the ball past the GEN.
tre' Inc nrst goal the Woodfords captured in one
minute, Orr making the shot. The next goal lastaa
fourteen minutes with pur out for mending skates
The Woodfords kept the ball near their opponents'
goal q large part of the time, but Williams and
Wins1p becoming tired of doing nothing went mn
and got the ball, and finally Williams got II bv
Starbird. After this the Forest Citys braced mn
and did some of their old time playing. They went
into the game in earnest and in one minutes time
Mlnship had won the goal. The next goal was
fought as earnestly, and was won BY Orne for the
Forest Citys in nine minutes. Tbs playnp az the
Woodtords was unusually fine and in the first two
goals they outplayed their opponents in good share
Butler covered their goal admirably, and the work
done by Davis and Durgin did much toward holding
the game as long as they did N "o'Ni"s
I,onlght they play the Old Orchards at the Beach

FINANCIAL.


Boston, Aug. 25.-The creditors of Shaw &
Bros, with whom no arrangement has vet
been made. are those in Massachusetts, with
few in Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Bruins
wick and Canada. 1t is thought that a settle.
ment OF the Massachusetts, claims can be- made
under the composition clause of the State in
solvency law, which was passed at the last
session OF the legislature This REQUIRES the
assent OF three-fourths of the creditors in num-
Ter and amount to effect settlement. The
proposition for settlement made BY the Shaws
early in the year was defeated by about
dozen heavy creditors holding claims to the
amount Of about 81 100000. One Massachu-
sets creditor has claims against the Shaws
amounting to about $500, 0OO
Steps towards effectiDg settlement with the
Massachusetts, creditors will probably be taken
next month. 1t is thought the affairs of the
firm can be wound up within the ensuing
twelve months, unless probably the settlement
OF some real estate matters be delayed for
longer term.
