THE FIELD OF SPORTS
POrtlands Altogether Too Much for
the BangOrs.
Home Team Out-pIayed and Out-batted
the Visitors Yesterday-Our New
Captain and New Pitcher just the Men
We Want.

Captain and New Pitcher just the Men
We Want.
The second game with the Dangers, yes
terday, was not very interesting, because it
was not much of a contest, but, the good
fielding and batting of the home team made
it pleasant game for home people. 1t was
our game the first inning, because we could
bat Meekin and accept chances, and the
visitors could not bat Kiley, nor hold onto
the ball very we'll. Whites four errors at
short were the most costly and the most in
excusable. Two of our men appeared on the
homesdiamond for the first time. Kiley, our
new pitcher, made good showing. He was
a little wild, but the Bangors couldn't bat.
He will, undoubtedly, do as good work for
us as he did for Woonsocket two years ago.
Bradley, our new short stop, and captain,
is just the man we need. He can get down
to the grounders and hold onto them. He
can hit the ball hard and often, as he did
yesterday. though not in the right place,
and better still he can open his mouth and
talk to some purpose, both as a captain and
a coacher.
Our left fielder was the star player yester-
day. He caught four flies after long runs,
and he drove the ball over the right field
fence for home run, bringing in another
man ahead of him. He got another hit also.
Dan Mahoney did good work, both at the
bat and behind it, and his throw that
caught Moore at second was beautiful to
see.
Both pitchers made wild throws to first
that were practically responsible for the
three runs that each side got in those two
innings.
With three men on bases, Slater, the old
reliable, came to the bat in the seventh. He
drove the second ball pitched for line shit
and brought in Mahoney and Kiley, without
a struggle.
!. Following is the detailed score of the
game:

The new yacht club scheme is still being
agitated about Rockland and adjacent
towns, and it looks now as though Rockland
would have d club to be proud of. The talk
at present is of starting a club to embrace
members from all the towns on the bay as
far back as Belfast and Castine, if they will
enter into such an arrangement. There are
many fast boats around the bay, and it. is
proposed to admit all fast Or especially sea-
worthy boats and then classify them for the
different races. If the club is successfully
organized in all probability the managers
of Bay Point hotel will offer the use of it's
club house. This house, situated on Bay

Base Ball Notes.

Smith jumped into the air and held onto
that liner yesterday in manner that
deserved getting the double that he didn't
quite get.
Cooks long hit over 1.-THE fence was the
first home run of the season. 1t went over
SO easy that there must be more to follow.
Remember that the Boston's full team
will be here today, and that the admission
is 80 cents, also remember that it's quite
likely not to be so much of q walkover for
Boston as you think it is. The Portland s
have begun to get down to business.
There are in the neighborbood of 40 bicyc-
les in Hallowell, whereas last year there
was about one-fourth that number. This is a
sufficient number for bicycle club.

A PECULIAR DEATH.
A Victim to Toothbrush and Medi-
cal Fidelity.

CAMDEN, n. j., Nov. 3O.-One
morning in March last while DR..
George F. Fortiner, of this city,
was brushing his teeth, some of
the bristles lodged in his throat.
He died this morning from the Of.
fects Of that seemingly trivial acct
dent. DIR. Fortiner was one of the
best known physicians in the city
and was 90 years Of age. His broth
er physicians have been very much
interested in his case and it is
possible his wife, who is also a
practicing physician, will consent
to an autopsy. Though DR.. Forti-
ner did everything possible to re-
move the bristles, he was unable to
do so and from month 10 month
grew worse, though he was able to
continue practice. While quite ill
he had midnight summons to the
bedside of patient who was dying
of pneumonia. The doctor, forget
full OF his own ailment, remained
at the bedside for three hours and
then returned to his home. He
was then seized with pneumonia
himself and none Of the remedies
applied by brother physicians had
the slightest effect.

DIPTHERIA EPIDEMIC
Breaks Up Young Lady's College
Term.

PRINCETON, n. j., Nov. 30.--An
epidemic of diptheria has broken
out in Evelyn Female college,
three-quarters of a mile from
Princeton college, and the institu-
tion has been closed. Miss Orma
Lindsay, Of New York, was the
first victim. DIR. A. X. Mcdonald
was sum moned and pronounced
the case diptheria, and ordered the
school to be closed. Many of the
students, numbering 80, left here
for home. Two were kept in quar-
antine. Miss Lindsay has since
died and the body will be sent to
her home for burial. There were
two young women left in the
building, Miss Hill, OF st. Louis,
room mate of Miss Lindsay, and
Miss Burroughs. Both were kept
in quarantine, and the latter was
attacked by the dread disease, and
she too, died. Miss Hill is the on.

The Dallas Directory.

Messrs. Morrison & Fourmy, gem
eral directory publishers, have
favored the LIGHT office with a
copy Of their latest directory OF the
City of Dallas, Texas. The book is
well arranged, and is printed and
bound in tirst.class style, and give
evidence that these gentlemen
thoroughly understand the direc-
tory publishing business. From
the number Of names given in this
last directory, the population is
computed at $3.50, decrease Of
nearly 1000 since 1892. II these
gentlemen, who are thorough in
the business, could be secured to
take the census Of San Antonio,
just before our next city election,
we will bet our small change that
the population of this city would
go over 100000, II based on our reg
istered and unregistered vote.

Informal Wedding.

Eugene Noessel and Miss Daisy
Lott attended the ball at Mission
garden last night and danced to
gether continually. 1t was: their
time to da nee and they improved
the opportunity, for their feet were
as light as their hearts. Parents
were not to know that they were to
be married. How could they know
that the young man had procured
marriage license and had en-
gagged minister? But they
slipped away during the evening
and drove to the residence of Rev.
f. f. King, on Jefferson street and
were married by that official and
then returned to the ball room and
announced their wedding to their
intimate friends. There were no
scenes Of storms, no flowers or we'd
ding suppers or piano covered with
presents but the music played
livelier as soon as Prof. Artzt
heard the news.

THE CADETS WIN.

Exciting Football Game at the
Jockey Club Grounds Yesterday.
About five hundred people spent
an hour and a half at the Jockey
grounds yesterday afternoon to
witness what is termed the "finest
game of Rugby football ever play.
ed in San Antonio"
The game was replete in every
particular, although there were
no bones broken, time had to be
called in several instances, no W.
ever, to allow some of the play ers
to "come to-" and during the ex-
element there were two fights.
Everybody seemed to enjoy the
sport hugely, if the yells and horn
blowing can be held as criterion
Betting was quite lively, and it
was exciting throughout. Very
little science was displayed, for in
nearly every instance the heavier
man had the advantage.
The contesting teams were the
San Antonio Academy and the
West Texas military academy
teams, the latter winning the day
by a score Of Is too. The cadets"
had the advantage in weight and
the "Seeleys" were no match for
them. This was the second game
for the championship Of the San
Antonio Acadimic Football league

Robbed of Their Clothing.

A bold thief, having no fear Of
vengeance OF the law or the Lord,
entered the residence Of Rev. Young,
near the corner Of Lakeview avenue
and North Pecos street, last night,
and rummaged the entire house,
taking with him nearly all the
wearing apparel Of the parson, as
we'll as that OF his wife. On aris-
ing this morning the good parson
was puzzled where to find enough
raiment to put on so as to present
himself in public. The robbery has
been reported to the police.

New YORK, Nov. 30.-.Archb i shop
Ireland, OF st. Paul, who has been
in New York constantly since the
end of September, having been a
guest OF the Fifth avenue hotel and
later at the Brevoort house during
that time, has left the city for st.
Paul. 1t has been learned that
Archbishop Ireland's reason for
visiting New York was to negotiate
loan of 100000 on real estate,
which he owns in st. Paul, the loan
to be used in paying the indebted
ness OF the arch diocese OF st. Paul.
Owing to the insecure feeling
which existed among capitalists
before election the archbishop
could not manage to affect the loan
until recently. 1t is through John
M. Stewart, president Of the United
States Trust company, who, few
days ago, organized a syndicate
which bought $50,O00,000 worth Of
United States bonds just issued by
the government, that the loan was
affected.
