Base Ball Notes.

Base Ball Notes.
In four of the last games Clymer played
with Buffalo he had batting average of
1888, with total of 666, and a fielding aver
age of 9A7. And yet this man has been
signed by Fall River, when he really belongs
to Portland and is the man we need TOR
coaching to fill up that weak place in our
ar1nor There should be a strong protest
and we should have Clymer if possible.
The reason for the .desertion last Thurs
day of,Pitcher Thompson and Third Base
man Hanley of the Brockton was because
the management refused to pay their rail-
road fares from their homes in the west,
the cost of the tickets being deducted from
their salaries.
Sam Thompson, the big right fielder of
the Philadelphia club, will not play again
for at least six weeks, and perhaps not for
the remainder of the season. About two
weeks ago the little finger on his left hand
began to swell up and he was forced to lay
off, Since then this member has been daily
growing worse and worse, until, being I'M
able to bearathe pain any longer, he submit
ted to an operation. 1t appears the finger
had been so often injured that several small
bones had become afflicted with chronic
disease, and they were removed yesterday.
Thompson refused to have the finger am
putated, but the surgeon say this will be
probably necessary in the end in order to
save his hand.
The Pawtuckets have released seven men
up to date.

nounced that that organization had been

mistake, last years license being one

S75 rate.

PAWTuckETs EASY VICTIMS.

The Portlands Have Settled Down to Clean,
Sharp Fielding and Heavy Hitting
Only Weak Spot Now is at the Base
Lines-Pawtucket Again Today.
Yesterdays game was won from Paw
tucket without a struggle. If Manager
Clarity wants to draw large attendances,
however, he must arrange for warmer
weather. 1t was bright enough yesterday,
but it was cold business sitting still, watch
ing such one-sided game. The Portlands
were superior in every way, and played an
almost perfect game. Burns made another
careless error like that-ef Monday, and let
in run thereby, but the rest of his fielding
and batting was SO excellent that this error
only deserves mention, because it was a
careless muff Our new third baseman
Smith, made his first error. He made fine
stop of a swift one and then threw wild.
His other eight chances were handled with
perfect skill that called forth much adj
miration. He is the right man for the place,
and he bats as we1la as he fields. Two with a
total of three hits and a base on balls is not
bad off Grandpa Morse. But Morse was
hit pretty hard by all of our boys, especially
Captain Bradley, who led the batting.
Dolan seems to be one Of those unusual
pitchers who don't strike out and who can
Judge a pitched ball. He hits most any
thing, whether over his head or below his
knee. He played fine game and kept the
visitors hits very well scattered.
After ALL if we should get Clymer it is a
doubt if we should need him. We don't seem
to have any man to spare. Our outfield and
infields are playing great ball.
The Browns jumped on the "Grandpa''
very hard in the second inning, when the
five scores came in, out he was not properly
supported and he kept cool and worked
hard all through the game in a very credit
able way.
Bradley plays second like the veteran
that he is. Kelleher is good umpire, even
if it is thought necessary to jaw him occa-
sionally. He is not too obstinate to admit
that he is human, and not infallible, and
can change decision when it is manifest
that he has made a mistake, and he did
yesterday when Hannayan was struck in
the leg by pitched ball. An umpire who
will never change his decision, even if it is
a mistake of his tongue and not his thought,
is as bad as one that roasts team purpose
ly.
The first balk on the home grounds this
year was called yesterday. 1t was called on
Dolan and Moore and Malone took second
and third thereby. Then Morse's hit brought
them home.
Wise made queer blunder on first. Han
nivan got Dolan's grounder and motioned
to throw to second to catch G. Smith, but
changed his mind and threw to first, Wise
wasn't expecting the ball and didn't know
it came till it had gone.
Burns's catch of a high fly in left field
after long run was feature and he made
some splendid long throws to first. Dolan

AFTER THE STORM.
The List of Places Damaged by Wind and
Water Still Growing.

Harrisburg Pa, May 22.-The rail-
road service here especially on the Penn
sylvania railroad is badly crippled by
the flood. Since nine o'clock last right,
not train has arrived or dep arted on
the lines of the Pennsylvania east or
south. Water covers the tracks of the
company five feet at Steelton on the
main line. At New Cum berland on the
northern central division which line
is used for eastern trains via New York,
the tracks are under three feet of wat
er. Trains do not run farther north
than Sunbury or farther than Altoona
eastward on the main line.
Pittsburg, Pa, May 22.-The water in
both rivers is subsiding. No further
damage Is reported. The highest point
reached by the Allegheny river is IS feet
. inches. The Monongahela stood 90
feet inches In Freeport the water
undermined Laufmann's tin plate mill,
wrecking it.
Phoenixville, Pa, May 20.
Sehuylkill river at this point is 10 feet
above high water mark and at noon was
still rising. The entire plant of the
Phoenix Iron Company is submerged
from three to eight feet, and all opera
lions have ceased.
Phillipsburg, Nd, May 22.-The ex-
traordinary rise of the Lehigh river is
doing much damage. This morning the
