FROM THE DIAMOND.
Today's Game-When Portland Players
Report-Other News.


Edward Hayes of Worcester, the new
catcher signed by the Portlands, was the
first player, besides Mains, from out of
the city, to put in an appearance. He
arrived yesterday noon and is fine look
ing athlete, weighing in the neighbor-
hood of $50 pounds. He has been doing
great deal of gymnasium work during
the winter and is in prime condition for
the fray.
Platt writes that he will be here
this morning as will Burke and the rest
of the team with the exception of Rogers,
Clymer and Smith. Rogers has notified
the manager that it will be impossible
for him to report before the 9th inst.
Clymer has asked to be excused until
the Goth ON account of business of i'm
portance to him and which he is anxious
to arrange before departing for this city.
Smith has a contract coaching Con-
necticut college club and it will not be
terminated before the 9th. The team
will not be completed before May LIST,
which is plenty early enough.
Today Platt and Hayes will both go
behind the bat and Mains and Kobe
danz will be in the pitchers box Mains
and Klobedanz will alternate at first
base, as will Hayes and Platt at second.
Burns will cover third with Webster, of
this city, at short Burke will play left,
Deadly centre with one of the battery in
right. This arrangement of the players
will give the public better opportunity
to determine the versatility of the men.
Another interesting feature of the
game will be the appearance of Madden,
who will cover second base for time
and do some pitching.
The Bowdoins, who will be greatly
handicapped today by the illness of
Catcher Allen of thss city, will however,
according to Klobedanz, who coached
them. put UP a good game. Alien was
out yesterday but will not be, able to
play for three weeks.
Hutchinson, the Bowdoins' prize short
stop, will probably be obliged to go be-
hind the bat today as he seems to be
about the only player available. Plaisted,
Harrington and Williams will probably
be. seen in the box. The latter will also
be obliged to alternate at shortstop.
Savage will play first base, Sykes second,
Fairbanks third and Hinkley of Portland
in left field. Chapman will be seen in
centre field with the battery alternating
at right. The Bowdoins will play Tufts
at Brunswick April Goth and have
secured game with the Exeter boys for
Memorial Day.
The schedule for the New England
league has been made out but has not as
yet been approved. Memorial Day the
Portlands will play in Lewiston in the
morning and in Portland in the after
noon with the LIE visions. On July 18th,
a. M, the Lewistons will be here and the
Portlands will go to that city in the
afternoon. On Labor Day the Portlands
will be at home in the afternoon and at
Lewiston in the morning.
