The Portlands were defeated by the Brock
tons Saturday afternoon by a score OF four
to one. The Brocktons made their first run
In the opening inning, and from that time
failed to score until the ninth. In the fourth
the Portlands made two runs, and until the
last inning maintained their lead. Then,
just as the crowd thought the game about
over and victory for the home club, CALL
gan in left field didn't catch fly and the
Brocktons scored three more runs before
they were retired.
The Portlands began the game loosely, but
shook themselves together at the end of the
first inning and played steady game up to
the last. Shoeneck played his usual fine
game and saved at least three errors by
splendid stops. Wheelock's stop of an ap-
parently safe hit also deserves mention. Fol
the Brocktons, Halves left handed stop of a
wild throw and the fielding of Cudworth
and Mccarthy were noticeable.
There was an exhibition of i'll feeling on
the part of the crowd when they ran on to
the field after being displeased with some
decisions of the umpire At the end of the
game, McCloskey sought refuge in dressing
room to keep out of the way of the disap-
pointed crowd. The score follows:
