THE FIELD OF SPORTS
Base Ball Gossip.


Catcher Mahoney and all the pitchers
are expected to be here today.
There is a desire on the part of patrons
of the game that Deadly become mem Der
| of the team this year. His fielding and
| batting abilities are too valuable to
lose they say, and it isn't policy for
Portland to submit to his being an op-
ponent when it is our right to have him
help win the victory. Since the New
England League is in the national
agreement this year, there Is no reason
why any desirable player should not be
considered desirable member of the
team. Deadly is certainly an excep-
tional fielder and batter, and be belongs
to Portland.
Oliver Burns, with Portland last year,
is doing phenomenal work for Spring
field, in keeping with his fine fielding
of '93.
Captain Fennelly will appear in to-
days game with Colby. He is an in
spring spectacle when he plays on the
right side, and discouraging one when
he plays on the wrong side. He. always
plays ball to win. Mahoney andsGannon
will probably be the battery in part of
today's game.
here They won from Lewiston on Fast
day and may prove no mean antagonists
to the Portlands.
Wednesday, the Portlands play the
BoWdoins at Brunswick
Mains was out practicing with the

bye. as they start the next morning to
open the league season at Fall River.

Sporting Notes from Calais.
Members of the Schoodic Yacht Club
are beginning to get their yachts painted
and ready for the JOINING season. The
Blanche, sloop, has had new stern,
Herreshoff model, and is now hand
some boat. George Eaton is having his
Cape Cod catboat heightened and a
Herreshof stern put on.
The Whop-Lahas had new stern pat
on and now will be "a very powerful
boat and will not drag water as be-
fore.
Davidson Brothers have the Calais
Daily News yacht all planked and are
sealing her up. She is to be given to the
most popular gentleman on the river.
Edward Ryan is just finishing row
boat to go to Meddybemps Lake, and
will shortly lay the keel for another 49,
foot yacht similar to the two others that
have attracted so much attention.
Mr.. Bert McAllister is having 13-foot
row boat built by q. Adams, and To-
foot fiat bottom skiff by c. F. Newell
for his summer cottage at DEVILS Head.
CT. Newell recently sold his schooner
Lapwing to Charles Cum berland, who is
having new stern put in and other re-
pairs done. By some miscalculation a
line was left at the main masthead the
other night and fastened to the embank-
ment and as the tide left the vessel
heeled on shore and consequently broke
the mast short off at the deck.
A man from Lawrence station brought
to town the other day three young cub
bears. They were about he size of fat
half-grown cat. He asked SIS for them,
but could not find a purchaser at st.
Stephen. After a desperate struggle
with the old she bear, John G. Hamil-
ton, proprietor of the American House,
captured the three cubs, killing the
mother.
A seal six feet long was shot in the har-
Dor of Eastport the other day. For
some reason it did not sinkssas dead seals
usually do, but foated so that it could
be secured.
Wild geese are quite plenty this spring
in Passamequoddy bay, but are very
poor and hardly fit to eat.
J An Indian, named Joe Moore, shot a
partly white mink recently, and sold it
to G. F. Newell, of St. Stephen, who will
mount it, as Fit is quite curiosity.
The season opens with prospect OF
grand time in yachting circles.
There will be lot of new boats,
| and already the races are agreed upon.
| The boys are beginning to boast on
| their boats.
Some person or persons will have to be
| taught better than to take boats with.
