Baseball Notes.
The great need at present seems to be
an active field captain to take charge OF
them. The team is one of the best field
| ing and hitting teams in the league, but
there Is no head nor tail to their playing.
Lewiston Sun.
| There seems to be plenty of tail to
their playing. 1t is most all of that
| character tail end
Shaffer of last years Portland's has
| signed with the Hagerstown (Md.) club.
| Tom Lotus has secured Ariie Latham
and Tim Sheehan for the Columbus club.
| No one has answered the conundrum
why Willie Mains has been kept out OF
the box. Boston Herald.
Here it Is then. The same that deprived
the Boston club of the services of Collins
year ago, poor Judgment.
The Fortland's go to Augusta today TO,
a couple of games and then to Bangor fol
two more. Friday afternoon and Satur

Saturday. The race between these two
colleges for the college pennant promises
to be very interesting.
| The Lewiston papers hre finding fault
because Capt. Pettee isn't aggressive
enough. The trouble seems to be that tn,
whole blamed tie m isn't aggressiv,
enough.
| The Boston Post mentions Laohance
Burrill, Anderson and one or two othel
ex-New Englanders as among tn,
graduates from the Eastern League WHIT
have been successful in the major league
Great baseball column that in the Post.
| What does tie Lewiston Journal thinl
now about Portland not counting. ''Com,
take it back and give us a good word.
/ Lewiston could do worse than Civ
Red Hanrahan trial. He is mucl
better man than Friel in every depart
ment Of the game.
Saturdays New Bedford papers called
upon Manager Marston OF Fall River t,
strengthen his team if he wanted {,
make the series between the two cite
interesting. Wonder if they still insist.
Well, we called the turn all right, afte
that first victory from Augusta. Tw,
games from Augusta and two from Ban
gor. said we, and here they are, LANDED
and rs easily as could be too.
With Tebeau and. o. Rourke back int,
the game apparently we shall have III
extra ball player or two on hand enc
may be can lend Lewiston some, poo
things.
Lewiston promises to strengthen thei
team and we trust they will before tn
Portland series begins. If they oan'
better let Bates College or the Auburn
come down. The weak kneed dis-or
ganization up there now would MT draw
here, even on q holiday.
O'Rourke will be here today on,
will play in the game at Augusta.
The Lowell Excslls, Jrs., defeated tn
North Schools by score of 81 to Is. TIL
features of the game were the third has

lproud of is that of the Irons. They dc
