PoRrLANDs VS.. LAwRENoEs.
To-day the Portlands play he Lawrences and
Portland lovers of the game expect their club
to acquit themselves with credit and score vic
terry for the Lawrences, and the visiting club will
appear for the first time in their uniforms.
Fish and Oxley will probably be the battery for the
home nine. Qhe game deserves good patronage.
THE PORTLAND NINE.
Manager WiDship went to Haverhill yesterday to
attend a meeting of the Eastern New England
League Association. Previous TO leaving tho city
he gave orders to Pope to take the Portland team
to their grounds and put In some hard practice. AT
the appointed hour Barnes, Fish and mcGlinchey
were on the grounds and they were the only men
that did report. To-day the Portlands meet the
strong Lawrence team, and il the former do not
sustain crushing defeat they are lucky. One
thing needed badly IN the Portland team Is dis
cipline, as the above will show. Every man who
failed to report yesterday should be ned as warn
ing in the future; and IL the present captain is in
competent, choose another at once.
HAsry CRITICS.
The Portland papers are mortified at the crushing
defeats inflicted upon their team. The Advertiser
says that several men in the team "are of earth
ly good, aud demands thorough wedding out"
Boston journal.
Portland people who understand base ball. while
admitting that the club needs practice and dig
cipine, believe that the nine is capable Of strong
playing, and will adhere to this opinion until It is
disproved after fair trial which the club has not
yet hal. In the meantime, let have little en-
co1ragement for what is good and less coudemna-
tion of what is regarded questionable. The nine
which lost Saturdays game with the Brocktons by
only onerun is certainly not weak club
