Wsterviiie, June l6.-(Special). - 1t was
poor exhibition of professional ball play
ing, that game which the Remedies put
up on tho college grounds, yesterday after
noon, enough SO to dampen the ardor OF
the most enthusiastic crank. A good
crowd had assembled to sec the first game
in this city, and though the .Kennebecs
played poor ball set the crowd stood by
them Loyalty and loudly applauded every
play where there was q chance, and when
there was show TO make runs did their
beet to cheer the men on to victory.
Patterson was in the box for the Ken

and would have won 1t easy IL he had had

given Butler and Dilworth in tho game at
Augusta, Friday afternoon. The crowd

of bis delivery, not base on balls given
by him, not wild pitch. and the Brock

have had something to do with 1t, for the
diamond was smooth and quick and 1t re-
quires one or two games to get accustomed
to any new field. Probably the Colby dia-

find, anywhere in Maine at least, and that
fact may go good way In accounting for
10 many ground balls getting past the in
field or being fumbled inside it, oh, yes.
the Kennebecs can play ball and fast ball,
too, for VIC have all seen them do it,and II
any are disposed to disbelicve 1t, just come

Il New Bedfords.
Umpire Miller, who had better be saw
Ing wool than trying to umpire. did his
usual amount of roasting, both on balls
and strikes and at bases There were
