The game here June %, between Belfast and
Portland was farce. The visitors, then at the
head of the league, all owed themselves to he out
played at every point. They changed pitchers
| three times and their best one pitched so slow
ball that one spectator said he could see the
seams in the ball cover Just before it reached the
| bat The Belfasts batted the ball all over the
field, to be mutfed or fumbled by the felders The
score:

The second Belfast-Por;land game in this city
last week was stopped in the fourth inning by
| rain, with the Portlands in the lead by score of
10 to 4. The visitors had an imported New Eng
land League pitcher and he struck out three men
in the first two innings. In the third and fourth
the playing was wild, the Belfasts evidently try
ing to delay the game to prevent it reaching the
fifth inning before the approaching shower ar
| rived. They that respect, tor the rain fell
in torrents before the fourth was finished hence
the game does not count in the standing of the
clubs.
Augusta and Belfast met on the Augusta
grounds June 25th, and played good game, Au-
gusta winning by score of to /. The score
showed that Augusta played without an error and
| Belfast is charged with but .. Both pitchers did
excellent work, Mcbride striking out and Gildea
4. The batting Of Hill, Butman and Veitch, with
| difficult catches by schrecongost and Hanscom
were the features The playing of Vetch, Handi-
Doe and Reagan was excellent. Gastonguay
broke finger in the eighth and Manager Bacon
took the field in sweater and patent feathers.
