THE sosrons LOST.
But the New Team Played Fine Game
However-AnotIler Interesting Contest
on the Deering Grounds.

The Portlands were the first team to
run up against the new Bostons, which
is composed of the Manchester team in
tact. The game took place on the Deer
ing grounds yesterday, and like the con-
test of Monday and Tuesday, was fully
| worth the price of admission. Not until
the last man was out in the last half of
the ninth inning was the result of the
game decided. This element of uncer-
tainty has predominant ed in all of the
games played here this week and is just
what the spectators enjoy.
Twelve hits were made on each side
while the home team made one more
error than the visitors. All the misplays
let in runs.
The absence of Rogers who departed
early yesterday morning, caused one
more among the missing. Mains filed
the vacant place at first and took every
thing that came his way. Burrill, the
most recent phenomenon, was called up
on to show his ability in the field and his
one chance was the most brilliant play of
the day. 1t was off Kilby's hit in the
eighth inning and the ball was labelled
for sure two Dagger. Clymer and Ma
honey fielded well while Guinasso, Whit
ney and Meagher did good work for Nc
Gunnigle's band.
Although other men succeeded in get
ting more bases, Mains made the longest
hit. 1t was in the fourth inning. William
met the sphere squarely and lined it
away down by the farthest tree in right
field. The ball just missed going over
the fence, and as it hit the wall and
bounded back, the tall pitcher could only
secure one base. The great single brought
in the first two runs for the Browns.
Long again umpired and his work
should not be too harshly criticized. as
his intentions are all right.
Run getting began in the third when
the Bostons made one on Farrelrs single
to right field, McCauley's being hit by
pitched ball, Tom O'Brion' hit to Burns,
on which the batsman was doubled up,
and Smiths muff of Mahoney's throw
which was intended for the catcher
second-base-and-return play.
Manager Garrity's men rolled up four
in their half of the fourth. Oliver Burns
started with base on balls, and took
second on Bridegroom Burke's hit to
right field for a single. Clymer sacrificed
by a grounder to Capt. Tom O'Brion and
the runners moved up notch. Then
came the long hit of Mains, and with it
a couple of runs. William took second
on passed pail and Flack ignominiously
muffed Mahoney's fly. Burrill kept up
his batting record by lining out double
and two more men came in. Tom o. Brion
captured Platt' foul, and Patterson was
thrown out at first by Guinnasso.
The new Bostons secured three in the
fifth on McAuley's being hit again by
the ball, Tom O'Brion's two Dagger, Nc
Auley's retirement at third by the aid of
Smith and Mahoney off Guinnasso's ball,
and Arthur Whitney lucky three bag
ger
In the sixth Burrill made an earned
run on hits by himself, Charlie Platt and
Patterson.
The visitors tied and went one better
in the eighth. Arthur Whitney, the ex-
giant, and johnson, made two baggers,
Bridegroom Burke fumbled, and Flack
singled. This made the score 6 to 5 in
favor of the Hubites.
Then the home team came up with one
to tie and two to win. Shorty Smith
proceeded to line out safe one to right
field, and Oliver Burns followed with one
to left. Charlie Farrell gathered in the
bridegroom's fly and then Billy Clymer
came up. The little second baseman
acted as captain yesterday and desired to
acquit himself favorably. He did SO.
Kiley pitched one over the plate and
John Wanamaker's fellow citizen laced
it out to deep left field. How the crowd
did cheer! Smith and Rogers tailed
and we were once more in the lead. This
ended the run getting.
The score:
PoRTLANDS.
