The Somerset reporter., 1888-08-09


Yesterday afternoon the 800 or more
visitors at the ball grounds saw the Show
hegans shut out the Boston Blues in one
of the best played games that our team
has .'put up this season, Our boys were
short one man, Donovan, and substituted
Matthews, which necessitated changes all
round, naturally weakening the team. but
every man won glory for himself. The
Boston Blues came to US fresh from
victory with the Augustus by score of
to 5, and a record OF two games won and
two lost, while in this state, and the au-
dience looked for what they got, good
exhibition.
The game was called shortly after 80,
with our boys in the field and F. NJ Eaton
as umpire. Unfortunately the first batter
was hit by wild pitch, but not seriously
and was given LIST base, but only to be
left, as the other men retired in one, two
three order In the other innings the
visitors worked hard and several times
got men to Sd base and score seemed
inevitable, but by sharp fielding of our
boys and the elegant battery work of
Pushor and Priest, they died there.
The Skowhegans were shut out in
the first innings but in the second, with
men on second and third, a most oppor-
tune hit by Priest of a liner just inside of
lst base brought In the first two scores
of the game, carrying Priest to third,
Priest scored shortly after from slow
fielding. Again in the second, with men
as before, Pushor placed hit In short
left field for two bases, scoring two more
runs; 1t will thus be seen that our boys
not only played fine fielding game but
played In great luck also, The boys to
do the heaviest batting were Goodwin,
Pushor, Priest and Mathews, while Tufts,
Simpson, and Dugan each made single.
Outside the magnificent work OF our bat
terry especial attention should be called To

WheraS,-lt has been stated that the
directors of this Association, were guilty
of meanness and breach of courtesy in
their treatment of the Augusta Base Bail
Club, and that they would not be upheld
by the people of the town, be it
Resoired,-That the communication in
the kennebcc journal of the date over the
signature of VIM. O. Brien rejecting dis
credit on the management of this club, is
an unjust and untrue representation of
the case presented. The management
fully complied with all their agreements
with the Augusta Base Ball Club, and we
heartily endorse their action in refusing
to pay the extra expense unnecessarily
incurred by them, feeling that the OBJ
stinate spirit there shown is hurtful to
all honorable sport and unbecoming to
Amateur Base Ball Clubs.

received by the large audience. Republi-
cans have drawn the first blood in Som
erset this year.
Mr. Walton was the hrst speaker. His re-
marks were brief, but he outlined the issues OF
the campaign and made points well received by
the audience. AT the close of Mr. Waton's re-
marks the flag was flung to the breeze and greet
ed with cheers.
Mr. Webb spoke for twenty minutes very ear
nestly and with great acceptance, at least It

our farmers and wool growers. lie briefly re-

party, contrasting the financial condition Of the

the history OF the world, With these achieve.

A SEA SONG.

The girl sat under the beetling Gill;
oh, the sweet singing out'of the sea!
She watched the white sail Of the dancing
skiff;
She watched as 1t tackled and made the land,
She watched the sharp keel run on the sand,
Aud she thought, 'He Is coming TO me, to Inen
AS the salor sprang from the ay boats side
Asit lay in the lap Of the eDbing tide.
Oh, the sweet singing out OF the sea
The two sat under the great rocks shade,
Oh, the sweet singing out of the sea
They saw the sunset glow and fade:
They heard the low waves oeaseless chime
To the vows that Knocked at change and time,
AS no swore by the steadfast tides to be
True and tender, through veal and woe,
And she bushed to the kiss he halowed so;
Oh, the sweet singing out of the sea
The girl sat under the clIff alone.
Oh, the sad singing out of the sea
And the winds low sob, and the waves low
moan,
Blent with the passionate weeping for him,
Whose talsehood had made the fair world dim;
And she sighed, What has life left yet for
Whose JOY Is blighted, whose trust Is fed,
whose hope, lko the rose, its leaves has shed ~
On the sad singing out OF the sea
The great sea heard, as under the shade
On the sweet singing out OF the sea =
Its moonlit rlppes soft music made,
Ana " sang The world, with its smiles and
Changes for aye with the changing years;

Iake the lesson give through time and tide,

only physical inability will prevent him
from advocating the reelection Of Mr.

There should be nothing particularly
surprising in this statement.
MIR. Randall has always voted for the
Democratic Presidential candidates,
has always been Democrat, and the
fact that he differs less with Mr.. Cleve-
land on the tallif question than he does,
with Mr. Harrison on the general policy
Of the Republican party, renders it en-
birely certain that he will vote for the
candidate OF his own party with whom
his Engagements are few and tempo
