Lewiston Journal: Flynn, who was
released by Lewiston, was let go not 40,
poor playing but because of very pau
hand We needed a catcher at once anu

is an excellent change catcher.

The disbanding of the New York State
League and the New England Association
has thrown some good players onto the
market 1t should also enable President
Murnane to secure one or TWO good UNI
pires His present staff Is now the
strongest it has been this season--bu5 IL
can be improved upon.
Bangor Commercial: The Journal says
that McManus' desertion of the kennebecs
was an especially silly performance on his
part, from the fact that Manager Burn
ham had promised him bis release to go
to Rockland any time he chose to ask for
it The young fellow will be sorry that
be lost his head little later. Ball players
can hardly afford to take such chances.
Lewiston Journal: The question is
will Lewiston and Auburn back up base
bali by attendance? You will have to do
it if you want base ball. Did you know
that with but few exceptions We have
drawn hardly enough to pay the guaran-
tee? Now that the team is winning will
you stand by it. A q matter of fact how
ever, attendance has picked up wonder
fully since the coming of Manager Clarity
Portland Press: The Remedies
clinched their victory in the seventh.
Bean hit to Webster, who fell all over the
ball, and the former was safe on first
johnson then came to time with hit
over Sullivan's head for two bases. Sulli-
van misjudged the ball and Bean scored
Doherty sacrificed johnson to second, from
whence he scored on Bakers fine drive for
two bases. Baker was sacrificed to third
and scored on wild pitch. The features
of thbgame were Bakers batting. Dex-
traze.s,great catch which saved three runs,
Corbctts and Johnson's fielding, Slater
base running, Webster's running catch,
Goodhart's poor base running and the
poor batting by the outtield
Portland Argus: The Portlands lost
their third straight game, yesterday after
noon. and the ones that administered de-
feat this time were the young Kennebec
colts. The score was close all through,
and what one team lacked in fielding
ability the other balanced by stick work
The local nine in the main fielded very
well, making just oneh half as many errors
as the visitors. Walter Burnhams
youngsters did the better stick work, and
once more their prowess in this direction
exemplitied the fact that it is the batting
that is almost always instrumental in
winning games. The Kennebecers hit
safely in every inning, while the Portlands
failed to make the semblance of hit in
four of their turns at bat
Daniels was no puzzle and the base hits
came often. Jack had wild day and
gave four bases on balls and struck out
only Butler. The latter, who was in the
points for the athletic legislators, did work
that was more than fair. As before noted,
his delivery could be found safely in but
five of the innings. After the fifth, when
the Portlands tied the score by making
three hits and profiting by two of the visit
tor errors, Mr. Buffers balls were con
nected with safely but twice. Bean folded
brilliantly, notwithstanding his three bad
errors, and johnson covered the second
bag in splendid style. Dextraze in the
second made magnificent catch which
proven ted two Portland runs.
