Tennis Championship Portlands Must
Play Better Bali if They Expect Audi
ences.
Everybody knows that when Portland
has good ball team it is, outside of Bos-
ton, the best ball town in New England,
and in years past has almost supported
the New England League, but the local
management will have to give the pa
irons of the game here better article of
ball by far than was played here yester-
day or they will play in the future to
empty benches or stop playing entirely.
Yesterdays game was, on the part OF
the home team, largely burlesque on
the real article The idea of pitcher
being so ratified that he can't play the
game is something to wonder at, but
true nevertheless.
In yesterdays game, with the score
to 0 against them in the fifth, the Wis
itors made three runs. Burke led off
with hit and stole second. Fitzmau-
rice got first on balls, and then Burke
danced round second a little and fairly
ratified Tobin into making a balk that
advanced both men q base, and Clymer
added to the agony by making a wild
throw to the plate off Maclxie's easy
grounder, letting both men score. Far
rell went out on a fly to O'Brien, and To-
bin, in the very ratified condition that
lasted throughout the rest of the game,
gave the next two men bases on balls,
forcing Maclkie to third, from whence he
scored on Garry's hit to left. Bowling
was thrown out at the plate by Annis.
Portland tied the score in the sixth, An
mis- leading off with a hit, and being
forced to second by Kirlnes being hit by
a pitched ball. OsBrien hit a grounder
to Bowling, who threw Kirmes out at
second, Annis going to third. A couple
of timely errors by Farrell and Collins
let in two runs. Lachance was called
out in this inning for interfering with a
fielder.
Manchester made the winning run in
the seventh, Fitzmaurice leading off with
a double, going to third On Tobin's bad
muff and home on Farrell fine sacrifice.
Tobin missed fine chance for double
in the eighth by getting ratified more
than usual,
Kelleher umpired a good game and
showed sand In the sixth Rogers gave
him some back talk and was ordered out
of the game, and in spite of the man
ayers protests and the hooting of the
crowd, he had to go and the umpire was
in the. right. Attendance 800. The
