CHAMPIONS OF '94.
Colby Wins Pennant in Inter-
collegiate Series.
Takes Decisive Game from Bates by
Score of 6 to O.
Bates Made But Tive Singles on from Patisr-
son The Wonder.

WATERyILLE, June 20.-(Special. Its
all settled now. Colby flies the pennant of
"a in the intercollegiate base ball league.
They won the second game in the tic sched-
ule on the campus this afternoon and won
it by "playing ball" They were not con-
tented to just barely win the game, but
everyone went into it for all there was in
them and succeeded in shutting the Bates
out.
Nine goose eggs all in row, that's the
way the score reads, but it doesn't COM
mence to tell the beauty of the game. Both
mines were shut out in all but two innings.
In five innings only three men in each came
to the bat for Bates.
Patterson pitched star game from start
to finish. He took his speed supply and
curving machine with him when he went
into the box and kept them there all the
time. Campbell got little scratch hit in
the second and Burrill succeeded
in making one clean drive
to left center in the ninth,
and that was all the David's Mountain boy S
could do in the way of batting. All the
others, and every one found the ball, only
popped flies into the air, to be handsomely
scooped in by the Colby players.
Field opened the game with fly to Whit.
man and Coffin caught Douglass high foul.
Pulsifer was hit on the shoulder and Bur
rill made long drive to Totman. Hoxie
popped little fly to Slattery, Coffin flied to
Field and Purinton to Campbell.
In the second Wakefield struck out.
Campbell got a scratch hit and was forced
to second by Gerrish, who got base OF
balls. Bracket made long drive to lef,
field and Lathp muffed the ball, Campbell
going to third. Slattery made short hit
to the infeld, which Osborn handled nicely
| to CT fin, catching Campbell at the plate
Field was out, Patterson to Whitman. Ir
| the last half, Totman was out at first. Put
nam got hit, went to second when LatliI
got base on balls; Whitman flied to Field
Osborn got bit sending Patterson to third
but he was left there, Osgood going out a
| first.
The first three men at bat on both sidei
were out in the third.
In COlby's half of the fourth, singles by
Hoxie, Patterson and Latlip, together with
errors by Pulsifer and Burrill and q will
pitch by Slattery gave Colby four unearnet
runs. Then. again, in the sixth hits by
Hoxie, Purinton and Latlip, with errors by
Campbell and Douglass, gave the Colby,
two more. Here runs, hits and errors
ceased, and one, two, three was the way the
sides were retired.
The whole town is happy with the college
boys, tonight, and not since the Republican
overthrow of last March has the city heard
such noise and seen such fun. The
| Waterville Military band was hired, and
electric cars with two trailers chartered and
the victorious ball team with all the college
and town boys who could hang ON took the
trip to Fairfield. while the street was one
| solid glare of red fire the entire length.
Fireworks were burned all the way along
the route the cars passed and the air was
filed with the joyous shouts of the Colby
yell, with the footing of tin horns and the
hurrahs of the crowds along the sidewalks
After the return to the campus ice cream
and cake, lemonade and sandwiches were
furnished all who could eat.
The Bates team went home heart broken,
for they came here confident of winning the
game.
The following is the score:
