have rut up pretty rocky ball and IA
glimpse Mt any Of the games Will show
shat the attendance averages less than
800. An attendance less than that in
Rockland would be called pretty poor.

them has to play field. Lewiston has
practically two. Fall River has carried
only three the greater part of the season
