England League are now we'll managed e.;
this is especially so of Fall River, Brock

| Don't worry, brother, Pickett has got a
steady job right here.
Bangor Commercial: So Portland did
us two straight and with the greatest
ease in the world. 1t Is so very seldom
that Portland ever lands ahead of us in
any thing that we don't blame the For st
City people for pluming themselves over

Hallowell Register: We noticed in one
OF the Brockton papers that the clubs were
intending to play a game apiece for

Bangor Commercial: The New Bed

cantankerous crew playing ball.
| Commercial: Portland crsnks claim
that Magoon is a cieverer third bsseman
than joe Harrington. In Augusta thew
are satisfied that Doherty is the league
star in that position and Lewiston thinks
that Frank Sh, a overtops all. We are only
prevented from backing Billy Haywood
