Waterville, April 2S.-(SpeciaD The
Colbys played the Kents Hill team on
the campus, Saturday afternoon, winning
the game, IS to s. Several new players
We're tried on the Colby team and some of
them showed up finely. Desmond was
given a trial in the box and was very
effective for four innings. Up to that
time he had struck out one man and only
one scratch hit was made off him. But in
the fifth the visitors got onto his delivery
for thrt c baser two wo-baggers and a
single, which with errors by Patterson,
Austin and McLellcn, gave them six runs
Austin and Patterson, however, each made
up for their muffed flies by very difficult
catches, Austin making a star play.
McFadden was given try in right field,
but did not have a chance to show his
skill in fielding. At the bat, he found
the ball every time but one, but was I'M
lucky in putting his hits in safe ground,
as he went out four times on flies.
Patti, rson's accredited strke-out was
more on account of poor Judgment on
balls by Umpire Bennett, than by his
poor eye for the third strike was called on
him on ball even with the top of his cap
or higher.
Mr. Bennett was also wild on his dcci-
sion which gave W. Stevens his score in
the eighth and is credited as the only
earned run made Stevens made hit
and had stolen second and third. He
then attempted to steal home during
short lull in the play. Patterson, who
was then in the box, made a quick throw
to Coffin, who plainly caught the runner
more than three feet before he slid to the
plate, in fact there was no way possible for
him 10 reach past and touch the base Mr.
Bennett called the man safe, though he
couldn't have been looking, for he seemed
disposed to be fair as far as his judgment
went.
The Colby infcld did most of the work
and Jackson did his share in good shape,
playing a snappy game in the field all the
way through. Thompson played good
first base and Austin and MCLellcn had
the same fielding average, missing only
one chance in six. four of each man's
chances being assists, which were handled
quickly and with good judgment.
For Kents Hill, Wight played the best
game Hatch could not judge the ball at
all, while playing at short. and let four
groundcrs go between his feet in one in
ming. The diamond seemed altogether
too fast for the visitors DIS the column of
errors will show.

National League Games and the Games Upon
Other Diamonds.

Brockton. April 2s Tho Brocktons
and Remedies Opened the league season
here, Saturday, in the presence of 700 PEG
pie. Had the weather been more favor
able, it is safe to say that twice that num-
Der would have been in attendance
The game was an exceedingly interest
ing one on both sides, the fielding being
sharp and clean. Both teams We're sue
cessful in holding down the number of
hits. King was little wild in the
second and third innings, but aside from
that he pitched mastery game, holding
his heavy hitting opponents down to four
singles. With a little more experience in
the box, he gives promise Of being one of
the best pitchers in the league
The Remedies were handicapped by the
absence of Captain McGeachy, who was
hit by pitched ball in the opening of the
game and forced to retire Flynn, who
succeeded him at first base, played fine
game.
A feature of the game was the fine field
ing of Doherty at third base Stackhouse,
the Brockton flrstbasemar, also won
golden opinions by his gilt-edged playing
The Remedies outbatted the home team,
but kerwan succeeded in keeping their
hits scatter ed and not productive of runs
The opinion here is that Manager Burn
ham has n very promising aggregation of
ball players and one that is liable to make
the other teams of the league hustle before
the season is far advanced. The score:
