BASE BALI.
KENT's HILL VS.. PoRTLANDs.

KENT's HILL VS.. PoRTLANDs.
The cold weather yesterday doubtless kept many
people away from the ball grounds. At any rate il
made those who were there highly uncomfortable
during the progress of the game. The Kent's Hill
nine have good outfeld and the inield made some
good plays; notably the third baseman At the bat
however, the club shows the need of some judicious
coaching. The Portlands were first at the bat
Barnes, Oxley and Annis made singles and scored
Pope took first on a mutf at second base and Clark
went out on foul. Long and Wheelock made safe
hits and Fish made two base kit. Wheelock went
out at home and an out by Barnes finished the
inning.
In the second inning oxley made first on fly to
left field and got TO third on a passed ball. Annis
and Pope flied out and Clark drove the ball down to
left field, bringing in Oxley but was retired at
second base. The Portlands failed to score in the
third and fourth innings although Annis made
two-bagger in the latter. Clark made the only run
in the fifth. 1t was here that the visitors made
their two runs. Thompson got his base on an error
by first baseman and Fuller with safe hit adj
vanced him to second. Luce went out on a fly and
Young struck out. Carver with two base hit
brought in Thompson and a safe hit by Underwood
enabled Fuller to touch the home plate. This COM
pleted the scoring OF the visitors. Anns and Pope
made runs in the next inning, and in the seventh
the home club did their best and added six runs to
the score. Long led off with base hit followed
by Wheelock with a two Dagger. Fish fouled out
McGhnchy and Barnes made safe hits, and Oxiey
and Annis pounded the ball for and three bases
respectively. Pope made a base hit but Clark and
Long were out before he could score run. In the
eighth inning Portland failed to score and Oxley
and Annis finished the tally with runs in the ninth
inning.
McGIinchy made a fine catch in the seventh
inning. The ball was thrown wild to first. Nc
GliHchy neatly caught it with his left hand and
touched the runner as ne passed. This play created

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
A RAG RARY


Charles H. Hoyt's great hit, "a Rag Baby"
will be at Portland Theatre next Friday and
Saturday evenings and Saturday matinee.
Like his other plays, "a Tin Soldier" and "a
Bunch of Keys this happy effort is realisti-
cally funny, and abounds in pleasing eccentri-
cities. MIR. HoYt says of the new play: "a
Ray Baby is-well, it is q rag baby, and the
author respectfully requests you not to expect
wax doll, with real hair, and eyes that open
and shut. The comedy, farce, tragedy, or
whatever you choose to call it, is divided into
three acts, thus giving the audience two
chances to rest and think it over" From this
it appears that Mr.. Hoyt would expect little il
he were not already known to be a clever and
am1able satirist. Perhaps the public may be
better trusted than he, for they have given an
emphatic verdict in favor of the play. ga
Rag Baby" satiriZes the foibles of the age and
the fnn is Kept up by means of singing, dane
ing and bright dialogue. The cast of the piece
is most excellent one and includes the
famous comedian Frank Daniels. Chas. FL.

other clever people. The sale of seats begins
