up good money Tor RELEASES
Portland Press: There is no fooling or
bIuffing with Umpire Bradley. what he
says goes, and the players all seem TO IN
derstand it. for they hesitate IN giving
him much back talk. 1t Is quite refresh
ing to have an umpire that knows what
he is saving. and make what he does say
90 no MISTER If it does seem against US
sometimes
Ranger Commercial: Sacrifice hits are
worth something in close games. Mana
ger Long and his men should not fail TO
remember this. OF course, there are men
who are not successful hitteTs. but there
are only one or two Of that KIND on the
Dangers
The Remedies are experts on that fea-
ture of the game.
Brockton Enterprise: The ability to
fight. we thought, would be impaired to
the RroclStons when Irwin took the team.
But the team continues to give up just
as easily as ever before Unless the Brock
tons are three runs ahead at the end of the
fifth inning. it's like picking mp money to
bet that they will be defeated. They lack
what doctors call 'recuperative ability"
Manager Dee has purchased the release
of Pitcher Thomas G. Anderson Of the
Wheeling, W. Va, club. His release was
purchased for $3.50, and he is said to be
worth every cent of this sum. Treasurer
Cummings received telegram from him
announcing that he had started for New
Bedford from Wheeling, Wednesday, and
he will probably arrive in that city on
Thursday Anderson comes well recon-
mended. He has played West on the same
team with Delaney. Another pitcher will
probably be signed, this week.
New Bedford Journal: One of the
local directors told the Journal man last
night that the home team had not run In
to debt this season. II it had been posi-
BILE to have played the two games with
the Fall Rivers on the Fourth there would
bave been $500 or $4,000 more in the
treasury. AS there are games still to be
played with rivals there is little doubt that
the club will finish with surplus in the
treasury. 1t remains with the players
whether this will be so or not. Good ball
playing will make it an assured fact.
Bangor Wing: Connelley still gives the
foe points against rs, although umpirlng
good games aside from that. 1t is abont
time that he favored a Bangor base run
ner in close and doubtful decisions. just
surprise us once, Mr.. Connelley. We only
want fair treatment, but we don't get it
when you give every blessed fine point
against US.
The best umpiring seen on our grounds,
this year, was done by Connelley. and he
didn't favor US, either, but did the square
thing.
Exchange: King, the Augusta second
baseman, who was injured at Pawtucket,
several weeks ago, was moved, Monday,
from The Massachusetts General hospital
in Boston, where he has been undergoing
treatment, to his home in Holbrook, Mas.
His knees are encased in plaster casts and
acc riding TO the doctor who attended him.
1t will probably be six months before he
can stand upon his feet without the aid of
crntches. In years time, however, the
doctor confidently hopes that the injured
knee cap will be as strong as ever.
A team made up of Bangor and Old
Town players left on Wednesday
afternoons train for St john, to
play there, Thursday and Saturday,
and at Moncton, Friday. The team
viii be made up as follows: Con-
way and Longley of Old Town, bat
terry; Doland, first base Miller, second
base; Moore, third base; Brown, short
stop; John Mcguire, right field; William
Mcguire, center field Charles Mulvaney,
left fed. Miller and Dolan will be the
battery in the game with Moncton.
Rockland Star: Charles Morse, better
known as Grandpa" the star pitcher Of
the Rockland team is in great demand at
present in other quarters. During the last
two days ho has received four kilograms
from tie New Bedford team Offering to
procure his release from the Little Rock
management if he will join them at once
1t is understood he has also had offers
from other New England League teams
Rockland enthusiasts need not be alarmed
for Grandpa" has no intention of leaving
this city at present. He does not desire
to enter the league now, as his pitching
arm is far from being in good condition
and he so wired the New Bedford manage
ment.
New Bedford journal: Although the
papers in the New England League cities
arc continually telling abou6sahe dirty
play of the New Bedford team. Manager
Does aggregation is still drawing the
largest crowds. If the people do not like
the New Bedford style of play, why is it
they break their necks up in Maine to be
on time when play is called for New
Bedford game? All the lumber mills, fish
factories and drug stores close in the
Maine cities when Manager Doe and his
braves are advertised for game.
The New Bedfords played dirty ball in
this city and if any members of that team
on its next visit to this city show any such
actions or use indecent and insulting
language and profanity in the presence of
ladies, as they have done, they will
promptly be es 5orted from the grounds by
the police. Please remember that.
