THE SECOND GAME.
Portland, Six; HaverhiIl, Six.

The first game occupied two hours, and it
was half past four when the second game
was called. In the ninth inning Madden had
been hit in the wrist by a pitched ball, and
so disabled that Casey took his place at the
bat, and also went out into right field in
the second game.
Dolan and Edgar again appeared as the
battery and Lanpe was in the bog for
Haverhill
At the last of the sixth the score was.tied.
each having two luns. Then they began to
hit and We to make errors. Five errors and
three hits with total of six gave them four
runs. 1t looked dubious, but fortunately
the next inning was very similar, except
that 1t was in our favor. After Casey. G
Smith and Dolan had hit safely, Doe Let
Garry's swift grounder go by him. and with
Slate1's and Harry Smiths sacrifices we
got in four runs and tiedsthe score. 1t was
very discouraging to the Haverhills, to say
the least, but quite otherwise to the audi
ence. There were no more runs after that.

a SPLENDID RECORD.

Edgar Caught Remarkably Wen-We

No Runs in Either Game-Only 13 Hits
off Dolan in Both Games.
The outlook was not very favoraple lor
Portland yesterday. Casey was laid up and
young Edgar, though he did well at Lewis
ton, could hardly be expected to fill his
position behind the bat in contest with
such a team as the Haverhills. There was
not much confidence in the result. and the
beginning of the game there was very little
snap exhibited on our side, nor. strange to
say, on the Haverhill's part either. with the
exception perhaps of Snap" Lang. They
scored one in the first on Lang's base on
balls and hits by freeman and Anderson.
There were no more scores till the NTH, yet
the game was lifeless. Dolan pitched as II
he didn't care, though somehow they
couldn't hit him. and we went out without
a chance for a score. But in the fifth, after
Charlie Smith and Dolan were out, Garry
went to first on balls and Slater came to
the bat. The tall captain stood up there.

he is, and all at once he lighted ION one Oh

home and Slater stopped at second. Then

Garry, a beautiful home run by Slater, over
the left field fence, and two Dagger by
Harry Smith. fairly made the audience

was just what they needed. Then Burns
was hit by the ball, Madden made his third
hit in succession, then wild pitched ball

along. and before the inning was over we
had struck round to Dolan again and had
Eve runs. three of them earned
The Haverhills were fairly distanced.

they couldn't do any more, and the four

HINTS FOR THE GARDEN.

Vegetables should be grown rapidly
to be tender and sweet. Never OF any
time let them be stunted. The garden
should not be made so large that
proper attention cannot be given to
all parts of it. From the time the
seed is planted until the vegetable is
gathered it must have constant care to
produce first. class article. In the
first place, land should be selected for
the garden that is free from weed seed,
and is naturally in good condition,
thcn barnyard manure should be ap-
piled. There a-e many vegetables that
are almost valueless if not grown rap
idly. Among those are the eggplant.
Brussels sprouts and caulifower. In
many gardens these plants grow well
until time for them to mature, when,
without any apparent cause, they cease
to grow. This is generally caused by
lack Of plant food or lack OF moisture.
When the heads begin to form an ap-
plication of liquid manure once a
week will greatly increase the size of
the plant. One of the best ways to ap-
ply this manure is to fill large barrel
with barnyard manure and pour water
