New York-Mains Pitched and DID
Well.
On account of the unfavorable weather
the ball game yesterday between the Kill
leens and the Hanrahans lasted just two
| innings. That was long enough how.
ever for the Killeens to oonclusively dem
onstrate their superiority over their ad
versaries. The score resulted z to in
their favor. Although no scorers were
present that may be relied upon as abso
lute!y correct because it came from one
of the victorious team. In justice to Cap
tain Hanrahan it should be said that he
was handicapped by the absence of Cen.
ire Fielder Leonard who refuses to go OF
the field until the reserve clause is elm
lated from his contract. Fielder Murphy
of the Killeens was disappointment te
the management and public. He muffed
the only fly that came into his territory
and has evidently seen better days.
After the conflict had been declared of
another team was made up to play nine
from Westbrook which was on the
grounds.
This game lasted three innings and
was called on account of rain. The runs
weren't kept.

Notes.
A funny warfare is in progress in
Brockton. A man who owns house
close by the ball grounds has been an
noyed by the boys running into his yard
after balls which the players knocked
owe, the fence. This year he began to
keep the balls and wanted $500 year to
give them up The association thought
this little too high and the man has
been adding to his store of base balls.
The other day however q couple of his
hens got into the ball park and the boys
took care of them. They say that so long
tho fo,,I bo1l ioh ctr
mans yard belong to him there was no
reason why they shouldn't possess the
fowls that stray from his hen yard.
Korwan has finally been awarded to
Brookton by the national board Of arbi
5ration.
Manager Doe has signed the pitcher re-
comm ended by Nyce. His name is Hal
lowell and he has been playing with Kan
sas City.
Harmon the West brook player who is
being tried by the Kennebecs is showing
up strongly and is quito likely to be a
fixture, He caught fine game on Sat-
urday.
Doe gives it out that he will have
Pitcher Yerrick's name to contract in
side of a few days.

ing the game of his life this year. A
years growth has given him much more
weight and strength this year than he
had last year and he is more active than
ever.
A New Haven paper says that "Yale
Murphy" was offered to play in that city
a sum much larger than he ever got in
New York but the Bangor people out bid
for him. If that is true Bangor must pay
the little short stop not less than $500 a
month which Is half as much as they
could pay for whole team on business
principles.
The Lewiston association has voted to
take stringent action against dead heads.
The people who have right to occupy the
scorers box w i'll have keys and self con-
'tituted scorers can't get in. Admission
10 the grounds will be by ticket and
hose who haven't the pasteboards will
pay. Good idea.
Manager Leonard received a telegram
from Manager McDermott of

informed that he would have to come
