| John Cavanaugh has been signed by
Bangor, and goes there with the best
wishes of his friends for his success. He
has the making of great ball player IL
no can steady down and pay some atten-
tion to instructions given him by his
superiors.
Tom MoDermott told the writer last
week that it was easy to catch Llppert
of Lewiston stealing second, but the
agile right-fielder went down twice Sat-
urday.
Klobedanz has only lost two games
this year.
Todd, who is wanted by Pawtucket,
and Rhodes, who jumped them, are both
in Millville. N j., where they feed on
the fat of the land and have only one or
two games week to play.
4 They are still awfully sore in Now Bed
ford because Ezra Lincoln left them and
| then signed in Pawuucket. The journal
delivers itself of this effusion upon the
matter; Who is the Lincoln pitching
for Pawtacket? Why, he is the man
with heart as large as mosquito. and
pair of legs as long as lamp-p post.
He is the man who, with tears in his
eyes, begged to be released by New Bed
T ford SO that he could go home and nurse
a sick wife and assist Rubenstein
Junior cut his teeth. He is the back
number released by New Bedford and
who has seen his best days. And lastly.
| be is the man who will have real nice
time when he oolnes to this CITY. Ezra,
We are waiting for you. just beg the
Pawtucket management not to release
you until you have one more game in
this city.
The Linoolns defeated the Hardwares
Saturday by a score of rs TO s. The
feature of the game was the striking out
of Capt. Seymour of the Lincolns who
afterwards reosived his release.
We engage in a little argument with
Pawtuoket for nine innings this efter-
noon.
Williams's hit in Lewiston Saturday
was considerably longer than Willie
Mains's much adv ersised crack which
went over the fence. Mains hit the ball
over right field which is considerably
nearer than the left fence where the
ball hit by Williams came within a couple
of inches of going over. Nevertheless
"Wilyum' still has the record of being
the only man who made an overtime
fence hcme run in Lee park.
MoDougall will pitch in today s game
with Pawtucket. Woods's arm Is slight
ly lame, though the trouble is only
temporary and it is deemed wise not to
work him until he RECEIVERS.
Philadelphia is after Lajoie of Fall
River.
Pawtuck ct Times: Some of the news
papers persist in calling him Fitzbone,
and indulgently explain that he is called
Bone for short. Now the nams of the
star polo rusher is plain Bone, B-o-n-e, and
there never was any Fitz to it. The mis-
take began when Bone and Fitzgerald
played on the Salem team together, the
telegraph operator mixed up the names
one night.
