NOTES.
The third goal in the game between the Wood
fords and Old Orchards at Old Orchard Tuesday
night was given TO the Old Orchards by the referee,
who was half way across the link when the claim
WAS made. Nine tenths OF those who we're near the
goal, even the friends of the hons club declared t
was not goal and a large part of The other tenth
were swindled out Of a game by bad refereeing In
that rink. They rightiully refuse to play again
there unless change is made.
Whitney Of the Old Orchards must have the skin
of Radbourne or Burlington to curve the ball 80
to make goal like he disputed one Of Tuesday
hut the referee discovered that previously unknown
power.
: Friday night there will be some fun in polo at
Forest City rink. Seven members each Of Camp
Gibson and Camp Upton will contest game there
on lockwood rollers.
The friends of the Old Orchards still claim that
the protest made by the Forest Ciys in their third
game holds good and will oblige them to play the
game over again. Can the secretary Of the league
show any specification or give any written protest
hinder him from Withdrawing the protest even II
there were such papers?

PICKED NINE, 8; sAccARAppA, o.

picked nine from this city went to Saccarappa
yesterday afternoon and played game with the
local club. The picked nine embraced several of
the Portland Reds but the whole team lacked the
confidence in one another which is conducive to
successful results. The local nice was in a semi
organized condition and considering the weakness
of the contesting clubs the game was well played.
The grounds were execrable, the grass being tall
enough for good hay. This accounts for the light
hitting and numerous errors.
! he work of the two batteries was the principal
feature of the game, if the "kicking' of the home
nine be excepted. The Saccarappas are certainly
establishing unenviable reputation In this direc-
ton and the only point thus far gained is the ill will
of their opponents. For eight innings the game
was well contested except in the fifth when field
ing error allowed local player to reach first base
The succeeding batsman madesa safe hit to short
right field but the ball could not be found for
several minutes on account Of the tall grass and
both men scored. But for this unfortunate hit the
game would have had a far different termination
At the end of the eighth inning the score stood
to A. In the ninth Small struck out three men but
Soule failed to hold one of them and the man was
poor throw put him oo third and a second passed
ball gave him the fifth run for the Saccarapuas
For the Picked nine, Williams struck safely and on
SmalPs hit, which was felded to second in hopes
ly thrown bal to Bryson passed into the Gro, and
Williams started tor home. Webb covered the
base and when Williams approached touched him
and claimed the out, which was, of course not
given. During the melee which followed Small
scored thus giving the game to the Picked nIne
The Saccarappas claimed that the ball was not a
block but their opponents and many of the specta-
tors did not agree with them. Mr.. Harmon of the
Boot and Shoe nine umpired the game. Eight in
nngs OF the game are given in the following score:

Let us have fair sitting through

originated? At what time and the

of the political movement in the Or

think these questions pertinent, but
