from the Oswego Club, where he has been playing
shortstop, and the Clippers of Canada will give

in the event of Brocktons winning the Champion,
ship Of the Eastern New England League the
citizens would go to most extravagant lengths to
express their satisfaction Boston journal.

out by the Beacons, the score standing 0 too.
Captain j. Irwin OF the Biddefords was in town
Pushor of Pittsfield shortstop on the Maine
Central Institute nine, is to play or two games
with the Queen Citys, probably on third base.
Riley of Portland a pitcher who played with
Donovan last year, will also probably be engaged,
and Chatterton, of last years Portlands wishes to
play
The P0rtlands will probably play the Concords
on the 30th inst. at Concord
Fulmer and Shaw were the winners in the prae-
| tice races at the Portands grounds yesterday
Fulmer beating BennerS, and Shaw being victo-
riOus in two races, running against Oxley in the
| first and Wheelock in the second. The races
were for cash prizes, the course being 100 yards
straightaway. Munce acted as referee, Wedel
| and Hanna as starters and Mah0ney as time
keeper. On some future occasion Annis will race
| with Shaw. Fulmer and Benners will also run
again.
Rumor has it that Hartnett, Hapin and one or
two more of the Biddefords will Join thePortands
