1t was contest Astounding in brilliant
plays and fairly steady flslding in the face

This afternoon the same teams will play

Kelley will probably be the battery for the
Kennebces, and Wheeler and Hayes for the
Bangors It's sure TO be lively game.
This will be tho last opportunity that
Kennebec valley people will have to SET
the team for several wes ks, as it will play
in Bangor, July s, and will leave from
there on another western trip The score
