As the PRESS stated the other day, ex
Manager Clarity will go to Lewiston and
take charge of the villagers. At a meet
ing of the directors yesterday forenoon,
Mr. Garrity was elected manager to
assume duties at once. Here's wishing
him good success, except in combats with
Portland.
Three double plays were part of our
good fielding yesterday. Whiting was on
third, Lang had flied out. Spill got
Daley's grounder He waited an instant,
then lined it to Slater. Whiting tried to
score, but Slater had the ball home ahead
of him and two were out. 1t was very
pretty work. Magoon's double all by
himself has been mentioned. Barton was
on first. Corbett got Bierbauer's
grounder, jumped onto his base and
threw to first in time There was more
luck in this as the ground hit came in
the right place.
If ever there was human steam
engine, it is our splendid little French
catcher, Terrien. His muscles are
apparently as tireless as pistons and as
lively as steel springs. His courage and
strength and good spirits never fail him,
and his voice on the base lines is like the
whistle of an ocean tug boat. He sounds
the war cry when there is a crisis, and
his clear notes are as inspiring as those
of the Highland pibroch. In short
| Terrier has got the necessary gimp and
| G umption wherewith games are won.
The Lincolns challenge the East Deer
ings to play game of ball at East Deer
ing, Saturday at 2 p. m. Answer Thurs
day. George Berry, manager; Doc
Curran, captain.
| The Kennebec journal praises Umpire
Connolly and says that his work on the
Gardiner grounds, Monday, was the
'tfnest exhibition of umpiring seen in
the Kennebec valley this season." If he
was any better than Hassett was yester-
day, he must have been absolutely per-
feet.
The Portland papers are a unit, the
| Sun believes, in saying that Mr.. Clarity
did finely as manager in that city, his
| failure to continue at the head of the
| Portland organization not being his fault
Mr.. Clarity knows of men who could be
at once engaged to strengthen the Lewis
ton team, SO that it would occupy the
place it should in the league. He would
bring order out of chaos and have
discipline and ball playing in the team.
There are managers and managers. Mr..
Clarity is one of the successful ones, and
to fail to engage him would be mistake
on the part of tibet directors There have
been delays enough. Lewiston Sun
