has organized base ball team. with A.
f. Gilman. the assistant principal. as
manager. There is some quite promising
base bali material in the school and the
for the fall season. The first game was
to have been played on the Franklin park
| field, Monday morning, with a nine from
| West Pennington, but the opposition
failed to appear and the Little Blues
claimed the game, to 0. With the possi-
biity of a few changes in the outfield. the
team is made up as follows: Hyde, d. :
Peckham, c.; Gilman. h.; Haskell, 2b. !;
G. Preston. 3b: Sumner S.; Valdiviso.
c. f.; Pope. !. f.: f. w. Preston, r. f. /:
Hill, Wiggin and Norton, subs
Upon his arrival home, Anson said:
TN not be afraid to put up everything
I have in the world that we will come
as near to the pennart next year as the
next team in the business" His sim
| cerity in this remark was emphasized
| by vigorous shaking of a clinched
! fist. I've got the material for a WIN
| ming team, and all we need is a good
| start. Unless I run across better ma
| telial the team will be just the same
| next season as it is this year. The
| papers for the last three years have
| tried to put me out of the game but
| I'll be at the old stand next year if
am alive and we'll, and will lead team
/ of sure winners. So put that in your
pipe and smoke it."
Bangor Commercial: Jack Sharrott the
| well-knoWn bah player returned home.
Friday. from Massachusetts. Since the
close of the New England League season
he has been playing with different teams
in the vicinity of Boston. Jack says that
he passed a very pleasant summer with
the Brocktons. He is sorry that the race
for the pennant ended in Il dispute. but
believes that it will be settled SatiSfac-
torily when the time comes. Sharrott
says that Sheckard the Brockton player
signed by the Brooklyn club. is a great
hitter and outiielder. He does not belong
in the infield. and Sharrott thinks that he
Brooklyn if they played him somewhere
else besides at short. Sharrott will pass
the winter in this city and may possibly
play polo if Bangor has team. He has
not played any for 10 years. but when he
was in the game his record would COM
pare faVorably with that of any player
that was ever in the game in Maine.
