Base Ball Notes.

The Ellsworth nine went to Bar Har Dor
Tuesday to try issues with the nine there.
The Bar Harbors put semi-professional
nine in the field Fairbanks, of the Ban
gor league nine, played third, Hall, of
Colby, played first, while Sopiel, another
professional, caught. Ellsworth kicked
against Fairbanks, but Bar Harbor would
not play without him.
Pitted against such a nine the Els
worth boys made good showing. Moore
and Cushman occupied the points. At
the sixth inning the score stood to in
favor of Ellswort h. Then Moore went to
pieces, and Bar Harbor scored IA runs.
Harry Osgood went in the box in the
seventh inning. The score at the end of
the game stood Harbor, IS; ELS
worth, 10.
The Bar Harbor nine will probably play
at Ellsworth in the middle of next week.
PICK Ups.
The Outings defeated the Hancocks by
score OF II to at Hancock last Wednes-
day.
The Ellsworths expect to play the
Franklins at Ellsworth either Friday or
Saturday of this week.
