AS will be seen BY the above, Fish takes the first
place in batting, while Abbott still holds his field
Ing position. Barnes and Abbott tied for SEQ
ono batting position, but Abbott leads him on
total Callahan has fallen OF in batting, but has
come up in fielding while Nal oy has gained both
in fielding and batting. The rest of the club have
done WELL not much difference being visible in their
records, but slight gain is noticed.
NOTES.
Callahan is fine fielder and we think he had bet
ter play there.
The Beacons defeated the Lawrence club satur-
day by score of IL to S, getting only base hit
off Nichols.
Why can't the Beacons come here and play the
Portlands?
CULVER has improved wonderfully in his batting.
Boston Reserves next Friday and Saturday. The
Portlands will try hard for one of the games at
least.
Callshan's throwing to first base Saturday was
very bad
Fsssenden umpired the game Saturday to the sat
sfacion of every one.
