Remedies Defeat PortIands at
WaterviIle, 10 to 3.
The Forest City Hitters Get But Two
Singles OF Coyle.
But for Our Boys Errors Would Have Been
Shut Out.

Waterville, July 31.-(SpcciaD Wei,
aren't the people OF Waterville favored
Every game played here has been won by
the Remedies except one, and that one
came near being ours. And good games,
too. Why, the attendance after such ball
playing as we have seen here this sum-
mer, ought to be just twice what 1t Is
just think, the champion Fall Rivers, the
New Bedford kickers, Brockton, Lewis
ton and Portland have In turn, all beaten
Colby DUST and after all this. only the
faithful few can be induced to turn out
to see the games.
1t was shame that half the people Of
Waterville were not present at the game
this afternoon, for when the boys play
ball as they did, today, they ought to see
good crowds watching them. They
started in with victory in each mans face.
They batted out an earned run 10 the first
Inning. and that was more than the visl-
tors could do during the whole game
They batted killeen just when they
wanted to, and they folded all the way
through like crowd of old ieaguers.
Coyle pitched an elegant game. One
hit in the second and one In the third wa,
all tho Portland lads could make off his
delivery Everyone hit the ball but could
not place 1t safely In four innings only
three men came to bat for Portland. But
Ter caught his usual fine game and male
ono hit, besides making II nice sacrifice
that aided Bean in circling the bases In
the third to tie the score Kelley played
well at first. Only that wild throw Of his
kept him FIR IN having a clean record with
his 12 chances.
johnson did STR work at second
Everything that came his way was
sure OF being taken in. and he spoiled
what looked to be hits for the visitors
half dozen times. He did great batting,
too. The first time he came at bat he
banged the BAH for two basis, and singled
the next two times.
Joe Bean played pretty game at
short. His work was only marred
by high throw to first after he
had made n wonderful stop of Magoon's
grounder in the second. He with Doherty
and Butler did some cuto work In the
fifth, when Shatfer was caught between
first and second, with Slater on third
There were two out at the time. Shaffer
lodged around for time, then Slater
started to steal home. This was what JOE
wanted, and he threw the ball to Butler.
Slater turned to go back, but Doherty was
in front of him with the ball. He turned
again for home. but Butler was there wait
ing for him. He turned to go back to
thlrd and Butler ran him down and got
the putout.
Doher'y played good ball. His error
was when he let the hunted ball of Killeen
hts In, = bo
Portland pitcher have his base, Corbett
going to second at the same time and at
terward stealing in home. He made
handsome catch Of hot liner, however,
which made up for the error. Only six
balls went to the outfleld for the game; OF
these, Baker had three in right, Buckley
two in centre, and Pickett one in left.
Baker smashed the ball for double and
n three-baser, and Pickett found it for a
single, q three Dagger and home run.
Portland's fielding is about all that can
be praised. Their batting is hardly worth
mentioning. Kileen pitched good game
though hit rather freely. Goodhart's
catching was all right and his throwing
to bases was quick and accurate, as some
of the Kcnnebeo boys who tried to steal,
are aware Slater covered first base fault
lessly AMI Magoon at third made two
phenomenal catches of hot liners Cor.
bett played a good game at second, and
Spill did good work at short.
Mr.. Connolly umpired to the perfect
satisfaction of all, both the players and
the crowd, His Judgment of balls and
strikes was oxcelent, and though some of
his base decisions were very close, he was
fair and impartial
On account of the grounds being wet
the game was not called till nearly
O'Clock, and the people who attended from
Skowhegan and Oakland were obliged to
leave at the end of the seventh inning to
take the train, bug no runs were made on
either side after that.
Tho score:
KENNRBECs.
