We doubt II many more exciting games
will ever be played in the New England
League this season than that, yesterday
between the Kennebecs and New Bed
fords.

the Colby boys as he was passing unde

Sharp can stand q good deal of washing
however.
Now that the Remedies have pullct
out OF the rut, we trust they will stay out

difficulty in doing SO.
Bangor Commercial: Nyce incurs tn
displeasure of the crowds wherever he ap

most creditably, and, little later con
tributed to the success of the kennebec
with beautiful single to left field.
Tho Commercial does not believe il
soaking the umpire. He gets enough
of it ON the ball field, but 1t is unfortu
nate that Lezotte should make such fear
full blunders He means well enough
but Bangor has sscaught the little end Of
his umpiring in way that has been most
exasperating Bangor Commercial.
Our Commercial friend knows now how
the Remedies felt, Memorial day. lex.
asperating' expresses it beautifully.
Bangor Commercial: Lezotte allowed
the New Bedfords to treat him abomin-
ably, yesterday. A few good fines might
have salutary effect upon that gang.
Weihl and Sharp, and the latter was not
in the game until the ninth, made them
selves particularly obnoxious, Sharp warn
ing Lezottc that he would put the gang
onto him when he came to New Bedford. !"

Lezotte, in the opinion of Bangor scribes
