Notes of the Game.
Bangor will be here today and the boys
have been doing such first class work that
it isn't too much to anticipate two vic
tories. in succession over the Maine lead
ers. Yerrick will pitch for Portland.
Other New England League games to-
day are: Kennebecs at Lewiston, Brock
ton at Pawtucket and New Bedford at
Fall River.
| Killeen led the batting yesterday be-
sides pitching winning game. Four
hits with total Of five isn't bad for a
| pitcher.
| Captain Slater actually did not steal
Ii base yesterday 1t was only because
there was no need of it. Three hits with
a total of seven and base on balls was
his record, which is very fair, consider
ing that Captain Slater is playing big
league ball these days.
| Corbett played fine game yesterday
He accepted all of his eight chances and
raped out two hits with total of three
We didn't steal many bases yesterday
because there was no need of it. The
boys were batted around the bases
O'Rourke did some grand base stealing
IA fpSt i11ct eli
to second, which is quite feat with Muir
ply behind the bat, he got such big
lead for third that he stole that bag easy.
That was the total of our base stealing.
When Magoon's two Dagger, in the sec
ond, struck against left field fence, Weihl
made magnificent throw straight to
second base. He was close to the fence
a little to late.
When Delaney fumbled Slater's ground
! er in the second, Slate showed his cool
head and grasp of the situation by tax
| ing advantage of Steele's lame shoulder.
| Hesran for second and Steere jerked the
ball over Delaney's head and Slate made
third base out of the enterprise. Steere
was replaced by Viau after that.
In the second, Magooon made fine play
that showed the value of running up on
a high bounding grounder. Delaney hit
to the ground and it bou unded high. Ma
goon ran up and just reached it by neat
pick up as it struck the ground Had he
waited for it to bound again, it would
have been very difficult to handle, and
he probably wouldn't have had time to
get the man at first, even had he succeed
ed in making good stop.
Bradley did the right thing in third by
calling Weihl out at first after Nyce got
in his dirty work at second by deliberate
ly pushing Corbett so that he could not
throw to first and make double
Weihl's grounder to Spill was hot one
and there was a good chance for double
had Corbett been allowed to throw.
1t was rather unusual that in the fourth
three hits in succession only advanced
Killeen to third He reached first on
his own hit. Slater's short fly to right
was only good for one base, and
O'Rourke's drive to centre was thrown
home SO quickly by Walters that Killeen
was held at third
Sharpe got in his usual elephantine
blunder in the fifth. Slater drove a
grounder towards Nyce. Sharpe ran over
and got in front of it and that s all he
did do. He stopped the ball of course.
"Hear that voice." said somebody,
while o. Rourke was coaching. cit would
be good to sharpen knives on. -
Shaffer's two base hit in the seventh
was really due to Nyce's interference with
Weihl. 1t was a very high fly and Weihl
could easily have reached it, but Nyce
ran after it. They were afraid of each
other and neither touched it, while Shat
fer had time to reach second.
At Camden yesterday, the Camdens de-
feated the Warrens to 5.
