The base ball season began in Portland
yesterday with an attendance of about a
thousand at the Deering grounds to see
the Colbys play the Lovells. The after
noon was rather cold and disagreeable
for both players and spectators, but up
on the whole the playing was good and
the audience satisfied. All things con-
sidered, both clubs played well. The
Colbys had not played on the diamond
before this season, and in addition were
handicapped by the loss of Whitman,
their crack pitcher, who is slowly recov-
ering from an attack of pneumonia. But
they showed the training which they
have received this winter from Mains, by
playing steady game throughout. They
made but one fielding error and outbat-
ted the Lovells, although their hits were
not punched to count Purinton, their
pitcher, is new man, and somewhat
wild from lack of practice; but he did
excellent work and held the Lovells
down we'll. The Lovells are one of the
best clubs in New England, and their
playing was generally steady. The bril-
liant plays were not numerous on either
side; but at no time did either side get at
all ratified. This steadiness might be ex-
pected of semi-professional nine like
the Lovells, but is not so usual with col
lege mines at their first appearance for
the season.

JOSEPH IS A BAD coy.
She Father of the Youthful Firebug
Wants Him Locked Up.

Joseph Ivy, the 11-year-old colored boy
who was arrested in Deering, Me-, and
who confessed to burning barn and
contents there and also setting fire in the
forest at Aliens Corner, is well known in
Maiden, says the Boston Journal. His
father, James Ivy. resides in Middlesex
court, being well known resident and
highly respected. His boy Joseph has
caused him considerable trouble during
the past seven years. He has run away
from home a number of times after
stealing small sums of money, and on
one of his trips he went as far as Virgin
ia. About two years ago Joseph, with an
older brother, would visit the different
stores in Maiden, and while the proprie-
tors were bnsy waiting on other custom
ers, would steal anything that happened
hardware stores the boys stole revolvers
and electrical implements, and when
their house was searched, in the attic
were found nearly four bushels of stolen
SOCQS} W1tCA WOIS HUH buG ull6r-
ent stores. About two years ago he set
fire to his fathers house, but the fire was
discovered by his mother and was extin-
guished without much damage. About
three weeks ago he hired a bicycle and
failed to return it. A week ago he ran
away from home, going to Boston and
slowing himself on the Portland boat,
stole ride to that city and went to
Deering, where he had friends. His
father was seen this morning, and says
that he thinks the best way is to have the
Maine authorities send the boy to some
institution until he shall become of age.
The boy seems to have desire to steal
anything he can place his hands on, and
also desire to see buildings burn.

EooT BALL,
The Wesabrooks Defeat the Mongolians

The Wesabrooks Defeat the Mongolians
Five to One.
At the base ball grounds in Deering
yesterday forenoon spectators were treat
ed to good game of English Association
Foot Ball. There are played in England
two kinds of football, the Association
and the Rugby. American football is
more like the Rugby, although Ameri-
can has II players-the same number as
the Association gane-while Rugby has
Is. But both Rugby and the American
game use the oblong ball and are charac-
terized by the rush line, the passing of
the ball from hand to hand, tackling, in
reference, running with the ball, and
the touch down, where the player,
brought to bay, holds the ball to the
ground to prevent it falling into the
hands of the opposite side. The Rugby
and American games are very rough,
with much chance for smuggling and a
great deal of grovelling in the dirt. As
ISOLATION football is very different. The
ball is perfectly round to begin with,
and the players-except alone the goal
keeper-are forbidden to touch the ball
with their hands, while one player may
not seize another with his hands. 1t will
be observed that these rules make the
game entirely different from the Rugby.
In Association football speed in running
and lodging and accuracy and power in
kicking are the characteristics. Forbid
den to touch the ball with their hands,
Association players become very apt in
punting the ball with their heads, stom-
achs and legs, as well as with their feet.
1t is hard game, but does not seem to
be nearly SO dangerous as Rugby or
American.
The Westbrooks are composed of
young Scothmen, rugged, handsome
fellows, who played with great skill.
The Mongolians were mixed eleven,
who had never played together before,
but had been drafted from the ships
company. There were good individual
players among them, like Turner, Nc
Cabe and Conley, but their team work
did not compare with that of the West
brooks. The two elevens lined up as
follows:

Wednesday evening our village saw
one of the gayest balls that it has wit
messed for some time. The Frye Light
Guards of Lewiston had advertised
through all the towns of Oxford grand
ball and drill on Fast eve. In the neigh
borhood Of 100 ladies and gentlemen had
assembled in the hall Wednesday eve
ming before the heavily loaded train of
four Grand Trunk cars came into the de-
pot of the Norway branch. The Fryes
formed at the depot and marched to the
music of the Imperial Drum Corps, up
the principal streets to the hail. Four
hundred jolly lads and lasses came up
from Lewiston on the special train and
crowded into the hail. At few min
utes past nine, Captain Chas. Hanscome
came upon the floor with the drill SQUAD
of Is men. The exhibition drill passed
off to the delight of all without mis-
step or a nnismovement. Directly after
this came the grand march led by Capt.
members of the First Regiment Gun
Company of Lewiston and of the Auburn
Light Infantry were present. The dance
orders were tastefully gotten up.
The jolly Lewiston boys made the
main streets lively Wednesday evening.
Some of them who did not care to dance
amused themselves by drinking bad beer
and shouting on the streets. Several
regular fights occurred between them.
Police Officers Shehan and Creeden kent
order at the hail, The two officers came
from Lewiston with the boys. Sheriff
Bassett also was ON deck and made sew
eral arrests including a Norway man for
selling liquor But these were isolated
cases and do not detract from the re-
spect that Norway has for the good be-
havior of the porty as a whole. Supper
was served at the Beals Hotel. Wilson'S
orchestra furnished music for the ball.

MUST PAY A LICENSE.

The commission of internal reve-
nue., after consultation with District
Attorney Milchrist, of Chicago, de-
clded that the various bl-chloride of
gold institutes in this country must
take out government liquor licenses,
involving an annual tax of $25, and
they have all submitted to the ruling,
including the leading one at Dwight,
Ill. The ruling is based on the fact
that whisky is administered to pa
tients in the early stage of the treat
ment. The authorities thought there
was an opportunity for saloonkeep-
ers to turn their places into gold cure
establishments and thus avoid the
taxes.
