Jakey, do you notice that the Maine teams

Fall River Herald: The harsh things
that have been said about Manager Doe
by the New Bedford papers and other
New England journals seems to be exag-
gerated to those who have never witnessed
his actions on the ball field. His vulgar
break In calling Steere to the coach line
in Mondays game before a man had
reached first was sickening to the spec
tators. Doe is not fit to be either mana
ger or captain, aud If he is kept in the
league long something will break
Providence Telegram: Fall River is
constantly kicking against the soft thing
her club enjoys in the New England
League, and the papers do nothing but
threaten to leave the league and join the
Eastern League. The Fall Rivers had
better stay where they are and let well
enough alone. In the New England
League the club always made money. In
the Eastern, with its long trips to Buffalo
and high priced players the Fall River
folks would find things a little different.
The present team would stand little show
in the Eastern League, and nearly new
nine of players would be necessary.
Hallowell Register: We think the Ken
nobecs could have had Thursdays game
with little better coaching. And by the
way we consider this the Remedies weak
est point In several games the results
would have been altogether different with
a little judgment on the coaching lines
In recent game there were two three
baggers knocked, which the coacher on
third tried to stretch into home runs, and
both were easy put outs. and in both cases
hits followed on which they could have
scored. Mr. Connelley is umpir-
ing the present series Of home games and
he is always welcome. With Mr. Miller
or Lezotte one was quite apt to go home
with sour taste in the mouth and with
no appetite for supper.
Regarding the report that Pitcher Mains
had been sold to New York for $500,
President l. B. Isaacson of the Lewiston
club said: II have received no notice of
such transaction, but it is fact the
several Of the big clubs have been negotiat-
ing with us for Mains and think it pos
sibe that he may be seen playing in the
big league, next season. OF course it is
possible that Mr.. Clarity has received
notice from New York that Mains would
be taken at the end Of the season, but 1t
is improbable for MIR. Clarity notifies me
OF all incidents when the club is away,
and believe that such notice would be
sent here, and not to our manager In
case of an offer for the release of Mains
during the season, nothing would be done

Concerning his release by Lewiston.
Slattery says: "On Friday / was hit on
the throwing arm, and was unable to
raise my arm. Saturday I didn't want to
go into the game. l couldn't throw a hall
