out against argument and anger with
resolute imperturbability. One would

months Kruger has stood against public

The sharp rap at Bangor's pitching
strength, copied into the Commercial
Monday and inadvertently not credited,
was from the Portland Press. II the
boys continue to pick up game or two
away from homo we won't care what the
Press ana these other envious people say
of us. But only saven hits off Wheeler
by the heavy hitting Brocktons doesn't
indicate very poor work in the box yes
terday. Now wouldn't it be funny if the
Press had to revise it's estimate-Bangor
Commercial.
Here seems to be another instance
where people will have to be set right.
The PRESS never said that Wheeler
wasn't reliable pitcher; only that be
appeared to be out Of condition, the same
being inferred from the fact that he was
batted all over the lot every time he went
into the boz up to Monday. When he's
all right, and that Brockton game would
| appear to indicate that he had got
squared around there is none better.
