+,lax aftarnoou ! There was only one
reason why Portland shouldn't have won
/, ba game If was not, bad luck 1t was lack
of gimp" of that contesting, fighting
<,,aIitv that is necess arv to win any victory.
When the score was tied, after the fifth in
nfne. Lewiston began to- fight If man got
on,A base they made much of it. They made
th,dr intention known to win if they had
the ability to do it,. The same was not true
of Portland. They played nearly as good a
oane as lewiston. Errors were even, and
though they led ms in hits, it wasn't our
new ratche1os fault that we lost the game.
Dolan is a coed pitcher There's no
ouestion about That. His left handed 'outs''
and ..out-drops's are very effective on
,ieht handed batters, and he fields the
nosition admirably: The Lewistons hit him
nrettv hard I'M the winning inning to be
spre. but his are curves that can't fail to DO
GOOD work right along. Garry, the new
oentre-fielder, is also fine acquisition. HI
is a ball player of high grade OF skill. HIS
running catch of low liner would De star
nlav on any diamond, and he handles the
hat iN the right way We are certainly
weak In some places, and those places are
not the, pitchers box or behind the bat
The attendance was good, so was the
weather. tbut the result of the game ana
the cause of 1T was bad. Billy Long umplred
admirably There was no cause for COM
