BASE BALL.
How the Portlands win play.

ttarfs'
Of the Portland nine a. W. Kirmes
will play third base. He is good man
in that position and good hitter.
VIM. j. Clymer is short stop and is
considered one of the best men in the
league.
James Fl. O'Brien is centre field and
comes well recommended as an all round
player
Tobin and Platt are the New Haven
players and they will probably do the
battery work in today's game.
Klabedany and Lachaud are the other
battery and they are both good outfeld-
ers and hitters.
Bulman is the extra pitcher and he is
considered good one.
Annis will play in left field, his old po-
sition.
"Billy" Annis.
The Portlands in securing this player
have not only secured good player, but
an old time favorite In 1885 he played
good ball in this city, and the public
showed their appreciation for his good
work by presenting him a gold watch.
After leaving here he went to Newark,
and in '87, 'SS and 'S9 he was in the West
where he was connected with the Osh-
kosh and Omaha clubs. During the sea-
son of 80 he played in Worcester and
Hartford. Last year he played on the
New n1r,I Al ,~4o
among the leaders in batting and field
ing.
BoWdoins VS.. Bates.
The Bowdoins will play the Bates on
the Delta at Brunswick Wednesday af-
ternoon. French and Allen will prob
ably be the battery. Considerable inter
est is manifested in the game, as it will
be a struggle for first position in the
league.
