Notes of the Game.
The Whalers of New Bedford will cross
swords with us today, and if we don't
stab them to the heart, it will be a very
su rprised crowd of ball cranks this eve
ming. Sullivan is down to pitch Game
nalied at 3.15
Portland has won twelve out Of the last
sixteen games, and one of the four that
was lost was the exhibition game with
Fall River. Had we had this aggregation,
playing ball this way from the early part
OF the season. we might have been the
Champs" ourselves, by this time.
Joe Harrington was not feeling well,
Yesterday In the third he exchanged
places with his brother Mike, and in the
seventh Stevens replaced him in right
field.
In the first Shaffer made the best bunt
hit of the season. 1t was high ball, and
it bounded from his bat just over Kloby's
head. Reilly hustled for it, but Shaffer
had plenty of time to reach first.
Yerrlck made very handsome and
very valuable stop of Ladd' S hot grounder
in the first. 1t came like a flash and
knocked his hand aside. But it dropped
at his feet and he got it to first in time.
In the same inning leighton spoiled an
almost sure run for Fall River. Doc
Kennedy drove hot liner into left
centre, and Joe Harrington, who was on
second hustled for home. But Goodhart
was waiting with the ball, and had been
for ten minutes, more or less. Jack had
made one of his quick stops and fine
throws.
Yerrick is a good sprinter. That Hurri-
cane Harrington on third base handled
his slow grcunder beyond crisicism, but
it had to be called scratch hit.
In the second the home team shut of a
run in magnificent style. Reilly and n.
Harrington were on third and second
Klobedanz drove hot hit to 'Rourke,
who threw home and held Harrington on
third. Then Goody threw to Spill at
second to stop Kloby. Harrington kept
edging for home, and when he made
break Spill threw and nabbed him.
Magoon's playing in the third was
superb. One was out and Ladd was on
first. Kennedy's hit was very slow
grounder Doc only hit on top of the
ball. But Magoon was SO lively that he
got it to first in time Then Fitzmaurice
was out at first and Ladd was advanced
to third. Pat Rollins drove hot one be-
tween third and short, that nine times
out of ten would have been clean hit,
but Magoon was too quick. He just got
that left glove of his in front of it and it
stopped This all happened like flash,
and Magoon had plenty of time to pick it
up and nail Rollins at first. Also his
stop ofssReilly's hot grounder, in the
ninth, was spelling base hit to per-
lection.
In the fifth there was funny incident.
J. Harrington ran in from right field for
Corbett's low fly. He muffed it and near
ly fell down. The ball stopped close be-
hind him, but he couldn't see it till
Corbett had reached second. Fitzmaurice
came over and examined his eyes, but
made no report as to their condition.
