THE FIELD OF SPORT
It Is LeWiston's Series For They Got
a Game.
BJJT WE TOOK TERRIFIC REVENGE
IN THE AFTERNOON.

The Last Came of the League Here Seen
by 1000 People Sullivan Couldn't Be
Touched-Magoolp's Gold Watch and
Splendid Playing The Game Abound
ed in Fine Plays-1she Balloon Busted
Lewiston Won in the Forenoon.
The last game of the league on the
Deering grounds this season was wit
messed by one of the largest audiences OF
the year. Every seat everywhere was
occupied and the people overfiowed the
limits on both sides of the diam ond.
There were about two tn susand present.
There was plenty of time for them to
collect. The balloon ascension that
didn't take place as described elsewhere,
kept the audience waiting: from three till
four O'Clock. Everybody was getting i'm
patient by the time the two teams finally
appeared on the grounds. The loss of the
game to Lewiston in the forenoon settled
the Portland Lewiston series in the
latter's favor, and this fact of course
lessened the interest in the afternoons
game But game between Portland and
Lewiston would be interesting if played
on glacier in Labrador. and when
Captain Slater began the game with a
big sky scraper to left, thelarge audience
forgot all about their hours tedious
waiting Flack got under that ball that
was meant for homo run, and that
dropped just ms ide the fence. We got
one run that first inning by Leighton's
base on balls, Reagan'a error and a
curious situation as follows! Jack was
on third when O'Rourke tried to steal
second. Rupert threw we'll and it was a
close shave for O'Rourke The Lewistons
thought he was out, and the side was re-
tired, and they allowed the ball to roll
over towards third. Jack Leighton ran
home. Bradley called O'Rourke safe.
Captain Pettee jumped up and down on
his cap in impatient rage, and the score
was tailed for Portland.
Magoon's two baggep after he had re-
ceived his gold watch, Corbett's sin gle,
Terrien's base on balls and errors by
Shea and Pettee Melted us three runs in
the second.
We got two. more in the fourth on
Terrien's hit, OConnell's error.
Williams's wild pitch, Slater's sacrifice
and Reagan's error.
We got our three other runs, one at
time in different innings. We got runs
in every inning except the third and
sixth and ninth. We didn't bat Williams
very hard, but we made timely hits and
Lewiston's eight errors helped us
amazingly.
All this time big Sullivan was holding
the Lewistons so closely in check that 1t
was very seldom that they ever saw first
base They got their one and only run
because of Ssllliyan's wild pitch. Shea
was on first, the pitched ball was DETECTED
by Terrien's glove to the Lewiston
benches, where somebody seized it and
made it blocked ball. Shea was running
round all the time and got in before the
ball could BIZ got to the pitchers box and
put to home.
In the last inning, after the result was
settled thing and the tension was re-
lieyed, the Lewistons came very near to
getting another run. They had but two
hits off Sullivan up to then. Little Brady
started off with clean hit. Corbett
made tumble of Rupert's grounder and
the latter stole second. Brady was on
third Of course, and only one was out.
Pettee flied to Shaffer, and then Mike
gave his first base on balls to Shea. This
little weakness was followed by the strik-
ing out of Flack for the second time.
The score:
