The Irons of Ligonia dsfeatedthe Splen-
dds Saturday at Ligonia by a score of
80 to g. The Splendids are a strong team
but are not in the same class as the
Irons. The Irons accept the Utility Long
Shoreman's challenge for game Satur-
day, May 9th at Ligonia at $50. The
Irons arc very DESTROYS of arranging q
series of games with some strong uni
formed club away from home, such as
the Freeports, South Windhams, Poland
Springs and Emetts Of Biddeford. Ad-

Boston Herald: Pitcher Killeen OF

1t was reserved for Bangor to save the
honor of Maine Saturday. The sRivel
Driversbatted out their victory and There
suit ofthe game again confirmed what has
been claimed in this column that they
haven't a reliable pitcher in the lot.
| What will the Lewiston Sun have tt
say now about the Bates College team
They made even worse exhibition @,
themselves IN their own pasture thar
they did here in Portland Wednesday
That may be very strong aggregation
but they haven't shown, it yet.
| Pitcher Williams didn't signalize his
! first appearance on the diamond this veal
by making a particularly grand showing
Forrid did little better. So far Lewiston
HASN'T made anywhere as good a showing
in the box as Portland.
Pawtucket Times: Portland is strong
with Killeen in the box and no mistake.
Pitcher Woods appears to be all right
too.

son to complain of the work of their re-
spectiye teams.
"Yale' Murphy's name is still son
spiouous by it's absence from the Bangor
score. The collegian did not sign a con
tract, but gave his word to Manager Long
in the presence of Secretary Morse thai
he would play with him.
Pitcher Long of the Lewistons is al
home, but judging by Saturdays work
of Forrid and Williams, his services may
be required at the front.
Pawtucket is drawing better than any
of t he southern cities so far, and that
despite the fact that the Providence team
is paying at home.now.
Treasurer Murphy accompanied hi
team to Lewiston Saturday.
There seems to be misrepresentation Al

city. Portland plays its last gam,
abroad at Pawtucket Saturday next, anC
