THIS TIME WE WIN.
Home Club Win Handsome victory
Over the Dovers.

Yesterday the Portlands went at the
ball in a decidedly business like manner.
and put up livery game. There were
plenty of fine plays and several errors,
the latter being essential because the
players went for everything. The Port
lands batted, fielded, coached and ran
bases IN a style that was good to behold.
The presence of Carey seemed to inspire
thesboys to do their best. He received
warm welcome from the 500 OF more
spectators and was in the game all of the
time. Mains and Garry in the outfield
and O'Connell and Burns in the intield,
distinguished themselves. Mains gave
one of the finest exhibitions of fielding
seen here iu years, and to cap all sur
prised himself and the crowd by bunting
and beating out the ball to first.
The Dovers were the first to score.
Morelock, who may finish the season
with the Portlands in exchange for
Klobedanz, went to the bat first in the
second and hit the ball so hard that
Moore fumbled it. He stole second and
scored on Donahue's hit by Moore.
The Portlands did good work in the
fifth. Clymer began tho good work
with double to centre and stole third.
Mahoney flied out to Flanagan. Moore
brought Clymer in with single and
then showed his good intentions by try
ing for second. He was out on fine
throw by Donahue. Carey proved pa
tent waiter and got his base on balls.
Slater followed with double and
Burns with single. Smith flied out and
Portland chalked up three runs. The
Dovers were not to be left behind SO
easy, and in their half tied the score.
They did the thick easy. Garry singled
and Cook flied out to Burns. Bradley
hit for two bases and Garry scored.
Flanagan fled out to Stanhope and
Doyle hit for single, scoring Bradley.
Morelock was an easy out to Clymer.
The home players got away in good
STYLE in the sixth. 'sLook out for the
buntr' said catcher Donahue when
Mains came to the bat He hunted the
ball up against the fence in right centre
and took three bases. He took exactly
six steps in going from second to third.
He scored on Stanhope's double. Clymer
got his base on balls, and as Donahue
dropped the bali Clymer went down to
second to draw the throw. He was safe,
and Mahoney cleared the bases with his
single. Moore sacrificed Mahoney to
second and he easily scored on Carey's
single. Carey stole second and scored
on Slater's single.
The Dovers got two in their half of
the sixth. Donahue hit for a single and
Garry hit the ball over the fence for a
homer.
In the seventh Mains got his base on
balls and Stanhope singled. Clymer hit
to short and Mains was thrown out at
second Mahoney flied out to Garry
and Bobby Moore cleared the bases with
fine single. Carey got to first on pass
and Slater hit to O'Connell who got
P ortland's pet pitcher.
Both clubs developed a batting streak
in the ninth. After Clymer had fled out,
Mahoney hit for single. Moore sent
up fly that Cook did to turn. Carey
singled and Slater surprised the natives
by lifting the ball over the fence.
1t was case of do or die with the
Dovers in the ninth. Flanagan passed
the word for the batsmen to cover the
home plate and if they reached base to
slide in feet first, a nasty thing to do, as
any ball player who regards his physical
comfort will admit. Cook singled, but
Bradley was out on fly to centre. Elan
nagan laced the ball up against centre
field fence on the fly and Cook scored.
Doyle's single scored Flanagan. More
lock was out to Mains,e and O'Connell
finished fine days work by triple.
Donahue was out to Burns and every
body either took a car or walked. The
score:
