that Maine hail franks win see rs good
base hall. the coming SaSuzneR as was
ever played in the State.
AT Belfast the situation Is particularly
enc0ura ging. The sum Of $1610 has been
raised there, and the Belfast cranks are
enthusiastic. They say they do not want
| a team that will win the pennant, but one
that will wipe up the earth with the Ban
| gors. The same rivalry promises to exist
between these two cities as was mani
| tested several years ago. when a ball
| game between Bangor and Belfast was a
