Naviuger, Mo. May 2o.-The man
hunt for the outlawed Taylor broth
ers still continues almost night aud
day. The men had three hours rest

sention a hot track just reported, the

the Chairitcn river.
This morning the chase was re-

One red hot chase for example

hounds dashing full cry into small
farm house ana tearing its worthy
proprietor from his evening meal.
The only crime he had committed
was walking over his own farm.

but the Taylors seem to have bu'
little cause for alarm. To morrow
the woods are to be thoroughly

1t Was Our Lucky Day Again Yester-

And How We Did Fall on Bangor-They
Never Had a Chance to Win From the
First Inning-The Portland Boys Can
Play Ball When They Try.
We won the game from Bangor yesterday
and we may moderately remark that we
did it with neatness and despatch.
In fact we amused ourselves with them.
The game was an interesting one, and
while the score was not so close as it might
be still it went the right way, and the crowd
enjoyed seeing the boys bring in their runs.
Possible the changes in thu Bangor play
ers had something to do with their errors
yesterday. German left the team yesterday
and went home to work. Fitzmaurice took
his place at third where he had but one
assist and muffed two easy pop fouls.
Deadly came in from centre to first base.
Hart played second i'll the absence of
Moore, who was injured recently and Dono-
van, new man went in to catch. His
bad throws and Harris errors were very
costly. But it should be added that Tony
also made some fine stops. Wheeler went
to the field, where he had but one chance,
but at the bat he was very weak and
worse than useless.
A score of 10 to tells the story:

for as an umpire who wouldn't change his
decision though palpably wrong and does
not by intention on his part but by a slip
OF the tongue in calling a foul a strike ETC.,
as sometimes happens
scorers who score wholly by rule are
those who have never played the game
themselves, an are therefore incapabIe of
realizing whether the player is trying OF
not and whether when he tries for diff
cult ball and fails, he has done all that
could be reasonably. expected of any, player.
The player knows when he has made an
error orssnot better than any one else. Tony
Hart knows whether the ball that went be-
tween his feet was because of his lack of
ability in stopping it, or not. He must. have
felt just as ineXousable in not stopping that
grounder, as if he had had passed ball
behind the bat.
