Game Here on Wednesd ay.

Game Here on Wednesd ay.
Wednesday night the Augustus play the
Portlands here, and as both OF these
teams have recently defeated the leaders
of the Maine league, the contest Wednes-
day night will probably be the hottest
game yet seen here. The Portlsnds were
defeated by the Augustus the last time
they played them at Augusta. and won
from them In Portland. 1t is safe to say
that Portland will again defeat the boys
from the capital city but they won't do
it without working hard for victory. The
greatest crowd that has yet witnessed
polo gane.in Portland will be present
in City bali on Wednesday night and re-
serve seats are going like lot cakes at
Chambers music store.
