Baseball Notes.
Bangor seems to be getting along first
rate without yale" Murphy. If they
can hold the present clip they better let
him stay where he is and save four or
five thousand dollars, or such matter.
You'll notice that Michael McDermott
and his Scrantons are making a pretty
good showing, now they have got to play
ing in the Eastern league. They couldn't
do much against the New England teams
they played with, but that was different.
Brockton abounds in lady enthusiasts,
and some of them are adept scorers
Pitcher Gray Of Baltimore formerly of
Bangor, has been released to Columbus,
Ohio by Baltimore. By the way James
McCormick's name DOESN'T appear in the
SCORES of the Columbu club.
The New England league umpires work
by schedule this year, and the secretary
says it will be impossible to make any
change unless through illness.
Charlie Brady, captain of Fall Rivers
victorious '94 team, and who was with
Lewiston part of last season. advertises
in the Sporting Life for job.
The PRESS has received from Messrs.
Frederic Mason and Newton Cluf of
Bangor, the best gotten up schedule of the
New England league we have ever seem 1t
is in the form of little volume, suitable
for the vest pocket. Blank spaces are
given for filling in the runs, errors, hits
and pitchers of all the games in the New
England league series, and appended are
number of the more perplexing and
often referred to rules of the game,
National and New England league stan d.
ings for 1895 and other always welcome
data. 1t is compact. artistic and con.
venient, little baseball compendium for
the season, which can be consulted with
equal facility at home or abroad, in the
counting room, on the train, in the
middle of the night or at the dawn of
day.
To our friend of the Portland Press-Do
You think that you or or anyone else
can call the time on a college team in
Maine? Haven't you seen them all play
great game one day and then follow it
with game that the strawberry Ledge
Tarriers" alone could equal? Don't you
force of the team rather than on its
physical constellation Journal.
We do, we do. What the PRESS OBJ
iected to-though really it was something
which didn't interest us profoundly any
| way-but what oooasioned ons or two re-
marks that have appeared in this column,
was the calm assumption with which the
Lewiston papers brushed away the college
contest with the remark that Bates had
| AAI dlAt away uuC OOSu uSol1 AL Ul6 4UO.
May be it has, but man must be pitiful-
ly prejudioed or woefully ignorant to
assume as much on what the Lewiston
collegians have done SO far.
So it was Indifferent base running
which lost the game for Portland Mon
day. Manager Leonard will seq that that
is remedied.
Catcher Mahoney has been released to
the Scranton team by Manager Leonard
for consideration.
New Bedford Meroury-It's not that
New Bedford is any weaker than we ex-
peoted, but that the Maine clubs are
much stronger. Umpire Bradley is a
good one. From what can be learned the
league staff is better this year than ever
before.
The Young Snipes challenge the I'm
periRls to a. game Of ball on Eastern
Promenade Saturday at p. m, on the
Spears grounds. They will not accept
the challenge of the Splendid Jrs, for
they have a game to play.
1t looks as though it was going to be
DAo ola-A4O OtA oLCouAAu W4ph u LtASSI
again this season, and that that city
would take the pennant, easier, if any
thing than it did last year. We would
| suggest that after the season is over, a
combination be made of all the teams in
| the league to see if a nine can be got TO-
gether which would win a respectable
mum Der of games from the Champs"
Cavanaugh continues to play a clean
game at short.
If Bangor holds its present dip after it
gets down to Fall River and New Bed
ford, we shall have our private opinion
who will win that pennant.
Manager Clarity writes to Lewiston
that he regards his team as strong as any
of them. Shea and one or two others of
the players have been siok, Williams has
pIeurisy in his shoulder and FORBID has a
cold.s Under the circumstances he thinks
he is doing pretty well.
1t will he noticed by glancing at the
score Of the Bangor game thar Big Mike
