BOWDOIN KICKS.
She Is Rather Easily Whipped
by Colby at Base Ball,
And Now Wants It Called Of, on
Condition of the Ground.
Colby Can't See II that Way. and The Game
Will Probably Stand.

Waterville, May 30.-(SpeciaD.-W
if all the Maine college teams intend
to win games from the Colbys by means
of protests. Saturdays game come our
way all right and there is no sense in
anyone getting up kick on it. Colby
feels that she was robbed of the Maine
State game and it is more than likely
that she was, unless the gentlemen
who decided the thing can show some
unheard of rule to back up their action.
Now comes up Bowdoin to this only
college town on earth, and. in the
cleaning of a sutry spring day, asks
that Saturdays game be also thrown
out because the ground was not as
dry as some fields that they had played
upon. Everybody knows mat the con-
dition of the ground must be judged
by the home captain, tnere never has
been any dispute about this before. But
nevertheless Bowdoin protests. objects,
kicks and says it was not fair 1t was
as fair for one as the other. This is
the way Bowdoin was worsted-pro-
vided always that the game is not
thrown out.
Bowdoin came up first with Haines
at the bat. Jack Scannell was in the
box for Colby, the only pitcher that
Colby has got and he doesn't know how
to pitch anyway. Jack has not learned
the art of making a balk without being
detected and so Haines went to first
on that kind of defect in Jacks base
ball education. Dodge raped a little
one down to Scannell and was thrown
out at first: Hull went out the same
way; Haines went to second on a
passed ball but Greenlaw retired the
side by flying out to V. Putnam. In
the Colby half of this inning, Cushman
got to first on an error by Smith; Hud-
son hit one to Hull forcing Cushman
out at second and in an attempt to
double, Hull threw wild to Dodge and
Hudson went to third on the error.
Seannell struck out and V. Putnam
flied out to Bacon.

into right field and Wilson let it gol
