MAINE COLLEGE LEAGUE.
Colbys Defeat the Bates in Loosely
Played Game at Lewiston.
Especial to the Kennebec Journal. !

Especial to the kennebec journal
LEwisros, May 4.
A fairly large crowd came out to witness
the first game of the season between the
Colbys and Bates. The Bates were much
weakened by the absence of Day, their short
stop and captain. who is laid up with a
sprained ankle. Emery, who played short,
cannot take hi, place in fielding the posi-
ton.
Daggett pitched for the Bates the first
four innings. and then retired in favor of
Wilson. Daggett was very wild. giving five
men bases on balls in the first inning. The
Colbys batted both men freely, Foster and
kalloch doing particularly fine stick work.
Graves led the batting for Bates.
The fielding of both mines would have
been discreditable to an ordinary high school
team. 1t looked much more like a scrub
game than battling for championship hon.
ors. Parsons pitched strong game but was
wretchedly supported by Foster behind the
bat. Following is the detailed score;

President Harrison Has no Maudlin
Sentiment About Capital Punish
ment.

Attorney General Miller was questioned
in regard to the Presidents views on the
subject of capital punishment, his recent
acts of clemency 10 men under sentence of
death in Washington having given rise to the
lmpre ssion that he was opposed to it. Mr.
Miller said The President is not opposed
to capital punishment and IN the murder
cases referred to did nothing more nor less
than he should have done. He has none of
that msuilin sympathy which will interfere
with the Just course of the law, but he will
see that murderers guilt is fully estab

operation. | col ,cde with the President as

GENERAL BLACKS ANSWER
To Suit Filed Against Him for Alleged
Maliciousness.

General Black has made an answer to the
suit filed against him for 500, 600 for the
alleged Withholding of pension claim. The
General says that the United States govern
ment is bound to hold harmless its officers
for their official actions, even though they
malciously construe or misconstrue the law.
The pension commissioner decides an average
of 500 cases day and if each applicant
whose claim is rejected should charge
malicious intent, 1t can be imagined what a
mass of litigation the government would
have to deal With. 1t is understood that
General Black has consulted with prominent
members of the government on the matter.
