Centre Fielder Connor was obliged te

inning, being run into by Right Fielder
Kelley. He will be able to play today,
however.
Pitcher Williams did another wonder
full turn with the sphere for Lewiston
yesterday.
Umpire Webster refused to go to New
Bedford yesterday, and as this amounts
to a resignation, Managers Leonard and
Harrington have written to Secretary
Morse asking the appointment of James
Hassett of this city. Mr. Hassstt is a
capable man, understands the game and
his appointment would be extremely
satisfactory to the Maine division.
After O'Rourke arrives, Manager
Leonard is thinking seriously of letting
Woods do some catching. The freedom
with which the opposing teams runs bases
has convinced him of the necessity of
an Improvement.
McDougall will pitch for Portland in

LOOKING FOR HIS SISTER.
Mr.. Williams of StOningtOn in
Portland.

He is Inclined to Think that the Collar OF
the Cloak Given to Mrs. Mitchell, Was
Taken from the Garment Worn by
His Sister When She Left Home.
Yesterday Mr.. E. Williams of Stoning
ton, arrived here and devoted the day te
following down the clue given here to
the possible movements of his sister,
Miss Maude Williams, who disappeared
some time ago, and who it is believed
| passed through here April 8, on her way
to Montreal.
Mr.. Williams was given the collar the
girl who was here tore from her cloak
| and afterwards gave to Mrs. Dena
Mitchell, one of the matrens at thu
Union station. Mr.. Williams examined
| it with close attention, and while not
| able to positively identify it, was strong
| ly of the opinion that it was like tho gar
ment his sister wore when she lief,
home.
Mr.. Williams did not find enough here
to have warranted an investigation be-
yond this point had it not been so strong
| IL supported by the testimony of friend
| of the family who saw Miss Williams on
| the train and knew her. The evidence Of
parties here so strongly robarated what
| he said in turn, as to make it reasonable
| to believe that Miss Williams passed
through here
Mr.. Williams had talk with Mr..
Heating, the private secretary to Mr..
Tucker, and also met Col. Beothby and
| Mr.. Whitney. He then had talk will.
Conductor Thomas, and others, and will
probably leave for Montreal this morn-
ing.
Outside of the Montreal clue the family
have received no trace of the missing
girl. Mr.. Williams said that the photo
graph Of Miss Williams shown to MIRA.
Mitchell, and Mrs. Sylvester, as stated in
the PRESS at the time, is very correct,
giving very good idea of her appear
anee.
The portion Of the cloak given by the
girl while here to Mrs. Mitchell, may be
OF great assistance in finding the girl her
self. Mr.. Williams will leave no clue
unfollowed down, and still believes that
his unfortunate sister will be found.
While Miss Williams is twenty two, she
looks very young, hardly more than a
child. Her disappearance was fearful
blow to her family. Mr. Williams will
make thorough search in Montreal.
: Mr.. Whitney is unable to recall that
the girl was in his office that morning,
and yet the evidence of tho train an
nouncer is to the effect that she came in
to the station from the direction of Mr..
Whitney's Office, and that she then asked
him to direct her to the office of Mr..
Tucker, as she had letter for him.
From whom she received this letter is a
mystery, but she certainly did not from
Mr.. Whitney.

| In the fifth we got what looked like a
good clean easy lead. 1t wasn't. but we
thought so, and were happy for little
while Who can begrudge us thatF
Johnson's error and four bad ones
located Musser and Magoon on the bases.
AT this juncture Mr. Woods kindly
ouffed The bail for three bases and two
runs were scored. Singles by Blakey and
Cavanaugh, ana we were two more.
Augusta earned a run in the fourth by
single by Bean, dou Bile of M. Kelley,
but in the sixth they got two after
Cavanaugh missed a chance to retire the
side.
Short Stop Bean evsned that matter NJ
by permitting US to tally when we were
at his mercy. The score is now 10 to 8,
and the curtain rings up for the seventh.
The seventh is looked upon with some
degree of suspicion by local patrons OF
ths game, and most every one wore q
strained. anxious look after we had been
BANKED and Pickett came TO the plate.
Tho anxiety noted might have been
anxiety to get home, for it was dreadful
ly cold, but anyway most people wished
it was over.
Pickett didn't relieve the situation any
by hitting single. Doherty struck out,
and Counor was out on an easy ground
hit to Slater. A little better feeling pre-
vailed, but Butler went to work and
spoiled it all by hitting grounder te
right which Mr.. Pickett thought was
tip for him to run around home. With
an ordinary every day sort of q throwe1
out back of first base he might have
called the turn all right, by coming in,
but as it proved he made a mistake, for
Woods made one Of the pfettiest throws
imaginable to the plate, and good Mr..
| Pickett was out. and the side retired.
| Nice. wasn't it2
After that we had it our own way, for
in the ninth base hits and errors came
travelling along like the rats after the
Pied Piper of Hamlin, and when it was
over we were able to check off five more
to our credit.
1t looked like sure thing row, dead
cinch, and an matter of fact it was. but
K1lleen relaxed to such an extent, and q
couple of errors came along is such a
way that couple of hits would have tied
the score. However. they didn't get 'em
and thu game was ours. our Every own,
oWney," as the young married man is
fond of observing. and we were thankful
for the same, aud trust that there are
others yet to come.
Woods throwing in from right field was
remarkable. Straight line balls they
were, aimed just where they ought to
land and getting there. 1t did ones soul
good to see them.
Blakey's stock went up another notch
too. He is credited with very timely hits,
and the lad can steal bases. He gets o
great start ard seems 70 land at mis- dssti-
nation, long before the ball gets around.
