Lewiston Sun: There seems to be some
difference of opinion about thai circus Al
Portland. Wednesday. between Billy
Longs team from Augusta and the as'
grcgation from the city of Portland The
Argus roasts Billy Long numerically,
claiming that he sat quietly by and saw
his team act very foolishly about tae
matter. Mr.. Long stated in Lewiston,
yesterday. that he had no more tight on
the field than any other citizen he was
MOI in the game and couldn't interfere.
When the trouble began, Umpire Brady
ordered Delaney off the field and asked
Mr.. Long to replace him. Mr. Long said
chat he would continue to play he game
with eight men. After hearing this state
mont Brady went over and had a talk
with Mr. Woodbury., and before Long
knew it. Brady had forfeited the game
to Portland. The Argus reports Of the
matter are very much exaggerated, he
said. and Umpire Brady was altogether
too hasty IN forfeiting the game to Port
lard Billy Is reputed to be a proper ball
player and always on the square. and
we are inclined to think that the reports
from the imag inative think tanks" of
the Portland base ball writer's have over
drawn the picture Il bit.
Lewiston Journal: Thursdays game was
4 beautiful exhibition of base bali. AS ii
should be played. great pitching, clean
hit ting ana fielding aud an electric expo
sii.on OF iaticid work of such magnetic
character that il filled the vast audience
OF over 200 with pins and needles. Suili-
van, Dolan and Gilbert were the perform
ers. Augusta looked like crowd of rank
amateurs by the side of our team and II
we had had q few hitters at the tail end
of our list and if George Edgar hadn I
gone up in a dopcy dream on two occa-
strikes this story would have been a song.
Further than this. over III Augusta. had
Nh Carpenter done such things against
the home team he did here in Lewis
ton he would now be biting at the iron
bars of one of DR.. Sanhorn's private cells
in the insane hospital. but here IL WASH I
all right and never word Indeed. II
Yves a very good exhibition of Mr.. Car
pelters best work and we accord him the
err dit of great Improvement in calling
ais and strikes and of honest purpose in
base decisions. His very doubtful deci-
sion in the first inning against Lewiston
gave Augusta three runs and the game.
We know that he gave it Just as he saw
it: only 1t is lucky that it didn't happen in
Augusta against the home team. We like
him and we want him to continue his
work as an umpire here in Lewiston and
remain here we think he can secure work
as judge of pies mt the State fair. where
all YOU have to do Is to shut your eyes
and taste He handles the team we'll, is
active and honest and has certainly I'M
proved 80 per cent. i'm his work since he
opened here. We say. therefore. that Mr..
Carpenter Is all right He is a good work
man and worthy of his hire Our audi
encc took his decisions meekly and with
good grace.
