| 4GdSuS,
Lippert is the only one Of tie outfieId
who appears to fill the bill, both young
O'Brien and Miller proving disappoint-
ment so far. Goodheart is popular, and
is playing good ball.
Augusta is showing up as well as any
of them with the stick.
Tebeau, Leighton and Hanrahan make
clever fielding and hard hitting out
field. 1t would DO hard to improve on it.
Shaffer, Walsh and Wright have been
released by Bangor. The manageme nt
announce that they have clever pitcher
in view who will be available by MAY.
They'll need him all right. It's too bad
that team that appears SO strong in
other respects should've so handicapped
in that department However, perhaps
this sympathy is wasted.
They say that Mike SIattery has a
young brother who is destined to far out
shine the ex-Giant as bail player. Both
as q hitter and outfelder he can give
Mike cards and spades. They say he is
fitted to play on New England team
now.
Doe has signed another pitcher. His
name is Braun, and he comes from
Detroit.
Doc Kennedy will play first base for
Fall River after all. Lyons is not giving
standard of playing that bag has made it
a particularly difficult place for a new
conner to fill.
New Bedford is negotiating for and ex-
poets to get Fred Tenney of Boston.
Some time ago it was sug gested in this
column that the Bates ball team wasn't
strong enough TO give the Lewiston pro-
fessionals real practice In view of Satur-
days proceedings we shall have to take
it back The college boys appear COM
petent to give them all the practice they
want, nd SO probably could the Turner's
or the Greenes. Manager Clarity was GER
tainly wise in not crossing the Andres
coggin county boundary line.
The Westbrook High schools team and
the Enamel room club played on the
Warren Park ground Saturday afternoon.
The High school won by a score of to 0.
1t was we'll played game and was in
teresting thr oughout. This was the first
appearance Of the High school team in
their new uniforms.
The Irons and Fort PrebFes.
The Irons of Ligonia defeated the Fort
Prebles on the latter grounds Saturday
by score of 70 to Is. The soldiers are
very strong team besides a genUlelnanly
lot of players and it is hoped they will
meet again in The near future at Ligonia
and it will be worth great deal to wit
ness the game as the Irons are clever
lot of ball players. The Irons would like
to hear from some strong amateur team
for games on Mondays.
The Young Snipes Are snappers.
The Young Snipes defeated the New
berry Stars by a score of II to in ten
inning game. The features of the game
were the pitching of Wallace and the
catching of Holland, who saved the
game.

berland Blues, will accept the challenge
