Base Ball Notes.

Pitcher Lampe OF the Lawrence team Is
to become member OF the Philadelphia
league club.
Lewiston Sun: McKillop, who is to
go with Bangor, has been with the Spring
fields Lewiston had him engaged the
first Of the season but was euchered out
of him.
Lewiston Journal: The New Bedford
Mercury says that when Augusta wins
a game peanuts go up. Well, when New
Bedford wins a game, beer goes down
down the tnroats of the New Bedfords
New Bedford Standard: Michael Brad
ley was the umpire in charge. He acts
like one who is satisfied with himself.
His decisions were rendered in a most de-
cisive manner and he gave satisfaction.
II consider Mains as fast pitcher as
four out of five in the National League, -
says Manager Bacon. "He is as good as
ever he was, and he never weakens as he
make a bid for him."
Eastern Argus: The way things are go
ing now it isn't question rs to whether
Portland will win the pennant. but
whether they will keep out OF last place.
Lewiston is now ahead of Us and the
Remedies are crawling up
Base ball is still the national game.
League contests this season are attracting
more spectators than for several years
past. There Is close affinity between
business booms and boom in sports and
pleasure seeking. Play ball.
The season will be opened in Rockland
next Tuesday with a game between Rock
land and Warren. Maroney and Gerrish
will do the Rockland battery work while
Warren cranks announce that the Holy
Cross stars, Pappalau and Powers, will
certainly be on hand for them.
Manning, released by Fall River and
signed by BrocktoD, is a weak thrOwer
and the Brockton Enterprise says: Why
are we so careful about using N. Bona
parte Shea behind the bat? He can catch
all right, and he can throw to bases,
which would seem rather an important
factor in a catcher.
The sentiment among the Camden en-.
thlsiasts in favor of signing Bass was so
strong that the difference between the
salary that he wanted and, the amount
offered him was made up by private sub
scription. This gives Camden four first
class pitchers and increases the number of
players signed to eleven. The picturesque
old town is out for the Knox county flag.
When the Kennebec club wins game
from New Bedford the price of peanuts
goes up tho village store keeps open all
night, school children get half holiday
and so cents worth of fireworks paid for
by general subscription threatens the
safety of the viliagc.-New Bedford Mer-
curry.
Alas. how sore. Don't make any more
faces little brother. Well call it square
for the two nice spankings the Remedies
gave your ball team. We may remark
Incidentally that the peanuts down this
way have always been good and the PEG
pie have had generous habit of passing
them around.
Manager league of Warren, does not in
tend to rely wholly on local talent out
side of his professional battery, as he has
now signed two more out of-town players,
who will appear at the first game In
Rockland, July g. One is Sockalexis, the
Indian player, for whom Manager league
has bad string out for some time.
Sockalexis has been prominently identi-
fed with base ball In this State for some
years, and this summer has played on the
Holy Cross nine. He is a hard hitter and
possesses wonderfully strong and ac-
curate throw. He will probably play on
one of the bases for Warren. The other
new man is Mcguire of Bangor, who
caught on tho st. John team, last sum-
mer. These acquisitions will do much to
strengthen the team and Rockland will
have to work bard to win in the opening
game.
Pawtuckot Times Doe can't get ovor
his tendency to talk, and he calls his
men down at every opportunity. right be-
fore the spectators He was fairly boiling,
yesterday, when he saw the game slipping
away from him. He even went so far as
to offer to do up one of the reporters for
something he fancied had been said of an
uncomplimcntary nature and his language
to his players was such as to disgust them
as we'll as the spectators. There is no
doubt that he is a great drawing card
wherever he goes, for the people want to
sec the man who can play such dirty ball
and get away with it. But nobody has
any respect for him and the constant roast
ing he gets. wherever he goes, shows how
unpopular he really is and how the pub
lie dislikes his methods. He fined Moyna
han IS for his break in the game, yester-
day, and this is the way he has of securing
rot only tho dislike OF all opposing clubs
but also of his own men.
