IN FIVE INNINGS.

PLAYED GREAT BALTIC TACKLE
SULLIVAN NEXT.

this time at wyman park, and Ellsworth
,vas victorious. Only five innings were
nlayed, and the drilling rain made it un
comfortable for the spectators and hard
work for the players. Still the exhibit
tiop of ball playing was perhaps the best
ever seen in Ellsworth.
Bueksport came over with a red-hot
team. showing by this that in spite OF
their two previous victories, they still re-
eoruized in Ellsworth noteworthy OF all
Bucksport's metal, and little foreign
alloy beside.
First there was German, the short stop
Hayerhlls, OF the New England league.
Then there was Robbins, OF the Camden
nine. salaried team. Bass, OF the Maine
State college, was another OF Bucksports
importations, but Elisworths' heavy hit
tiers landed on him in great shape, and
his reputation as IA star twrler suffered
from his visit to Ellsworth.
Not man on the Ellsworth team but
got al least one safe hit off his delivery.
The remainder OF the Bucksport team
was from he pick OF the home team.
Ellsworth went into the field against
this nine with all home men, and held
them down for five innings, and there is
no reason to suppose that Ellsworth
would have lost he game, as some Bucks
porters seemed to think. Two Bucks
port men were out in the sixth inning,
and not man was ON base. More than
this, Ellsworth was touching Bass up for
singles and doubles in great shape, and
doubtless would have continued the work
in the sixth inning.
The five innings played were the best
exhibition OF ball playing yet sseen in
Ellsworth Some bad errors were made
on both sides but theyi were not eN-
pensiye, and, owing TO the wet, were very
excusable.
The one great feature OF the game was
Weeks Dagger when the bases were
full, sending three men across he plate.
Minor features were the work ofa Adams
behind the bat, and OF Foster and Bass
in the box, and Germans coaching for
Bucksport.

the first man TO step to the,piate, hit to

was crowded out. German was hit 10y
the ball and trotted TO first, Tl!loek NOV
ing up To second. Robbins lined out
two-bagger to right, sending Tillock and
German home. Robbins was caught
mapping on second, and Hubbard retired
on strikes.
Weeks was the first man up for Els
worth, Bass drew bead on his cap and
Weeks trotted to first holding on his
head The hit evidently, Was Hoo

Brady raped out singles, and the bases

covered himself with glory by sending
the ball over the left tielder's head, send
ing in three runs, while he landed safely
ON second. The Ellswort his had the long
end of the score for the first time in the
