we believe we are inyincble, but If we
can't have him we believe we can defeat
the Monograms anyhow.
The local managers of the base ball
tournament chaperoned the Monograms
and the Tufts-Lyons last evening to the
performance at the Columbia and to late
lunch at Norman's. At the former place
Manager Friedlander made the rival clubs
comfortable in the four lower proscenium
boxes, where they enjoyed an ex-
ceIlent show, and for the time being for
got that there had ever been controversy
between or about them.
In speaking of the points of difference
which have been raised, both the local
managers denied that there was the
slightest degree of tavoritism shown any
particular team.
.tThere is this about the affair."" said one
of them. 1.-The Examiner will have to

pie or to favor those OF Portland.
ave want this tournament to be played
out on fair-play rules especially, although
the National League rules will be abided
not in accord with our rules. For instance,
the National League rules require an
umpire to continue throughout the game, i,
and we reserve the right and power TO put
him off the field at any time We deem his
removal necessary.

these cases. See the Flemming case back
East where even the tom bstone on the
grave of Flemming's twin sister was de-
