door on the east side entering at once into

hall are one large and two small rooms, the

for the pastors study, and the other as a

kitchen and toilet room. The arrangement
is most excellent and when the vestry is

THE LEADERS LOST
Colby Surprised by Bates 9 to 10 in
Favor OF the Latter.


Special to the kennebec journal.
WArERvIrLE, May 10.
The Colbys evidently thought they were
going 10 have a first class picnic with the
Bates this afternoon At any rate they
started in playing in an easy, careless way
and didn't discover their mistake until too
late. The feature of the game was the
splendid pitching of Parsons who struck out
tered hits. only one of which was more than
q single. Fosters support was very bad.
and Megguire's three errors at short were
sufficient to lose the garle. Haggett pitched
a strong, steady game and was well supported.
Wilson PLAYED fine second base
Excitement reached its pitch in the last in
ming Bates went out in one two, three or
der and Colby came in for the last chance.
Daggett kept cool and coaxed kalloch to
strike at three bad ones. Smith wRs a good
waiter and was sent TO second on Megguire's
hitto right. Merrill sent a fly to ceutre
which Knox fr0ze To. Two men oGt two
scores to tie and the heavy hitter Parsons ut
the bat. He did what was expected of him
by hit to left and Smith scored. Another
hit meant tie and probably the game. Dag
gett put on lots of speed. Wagg sent up
sky scraper which nestled in Wilson
clutches and Bates had downed the leaders
Following is the detailed score:
