The last game of the Maine State League series
between the Alamedas and Bijous was played Sat

ing in three straight goals for the home team. But
three of the regular Bijou team went down and one
of those played in position he was unaccustomed
to. The team was composed as follows: Goal Jo-
seph Foster; cover goals. Smith and Dunn; centre,
Gledhill; cover points, McAndrews and James Fes-
ter.
playing was all around the BijoH goal which was
well guarded for about minute and thirty seconds
when Dunning made characteristic under cut and
the ball went behind the netting. The time was
11r minutes.
Roberts got the second rush and Dunning the goal
a repetition of the second, Roberts securing the
rush and Dunning the goal after two minutes play.
The time was eight minutes.
The audience wanted more" so three more goals
were added to the Alameda record, Smith playing
goal for the Bilious the first and second innings and
and the third to Roberts. The first goal was Rob
erts' by long shot from centre and the other two
were won by Dunning.
Dow had no stops to make while in the Alameda
cage. In the BiJou he made one, good one but
with his elbow; Foster made three, one of them
very good, while Smith made one, swift liner from
Guthrie.

Guthrie and Dunning of the Alamedas think some
of playing at Bar Harbor this summer.

sachusetts tour, and will there be any such tour is
what the boys are thinking of Just .now?"
That the team that went to Bath Saturday night
was not good one to represent the Bilious is appar
ent enough by the result of the game. Perhaps q
better one couldn't be got up but the Bath people

appointed.

pllmentary at the Bijou. Friday a presentation
party, and Saturday ladies' comp limentary.
